BlindBuddy reads the morning before you leave the truck. THE READ Every blind you save gets one score built from the conditions that actually move birds: wind speed and direction against your blind's facing, front timing, pressure trend, temperature swing, moon, and migration traffic. Tap the score and it decomposes. Every factor shows its number and its pull on the total. And when something was not measured that morning, the app says so instead of faking it. THREE DAY MATRIX Dawn and evening windows for the next three days, scored per blind. Pick the morning worth burning a vacation day on before the front gets here. THE LIVING MAP Scout mode surfaces hot areas computed from live bird sighting traffic and public hunting ground, anywhere in the country. Drop a pin, vet the spot against wind history and sightings, save it. My Ground keeps your blinds, pins, and field notes in one place. BAND HISTORY 3.1 million real USGS band recovery records on a map. See what was banded near your spots, where those birds came from, and how far they traveled. Sixty plus years of recoveries, not a sample. TIDES NOAA tide stations with the day's curve, in the station's own time zone. For the coastal crowd that hunts the moving water. SCOUTBUMP Pre-season scoring for new ground. Point your blind, set the wind you expect, and see how the spot grades before opening day. YOUR LOG Log hunts, birds, and bands. Season stats and personal bests are kept and counted, season over season. BUILT FOR EVERY FLYWAY Pacific, Central, Mississippi, Atlantic. Nothing in the app is hardcoded to one state.

Made a huge difference in my ability to find new spots, figure out patterns, and learn the behaviors of ducks in my area. 10/10. Worth every cent. ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2025-12-27* Everything you need in a duck hunting app! Notifications for my favorite blinds, wind compatibility, literally everything I need. ### 3/5 — Has potential *2025-12-24* Can’t get any of the duck calls to play. 75% of the features I wanna try you have to subscribe to use. Maybe a 3 or 7 day free pro trial. People are more likely to pay for the subscription if they have an idea of what they’re getting. ## Frequently asked questions about BlindBuddy ### What is BlindBuddy?
