## What is CastLog?

Your best spots took years to find. CastLog keeps them private by default — no public feeds, no spot-burning, ever.

Say what you caught and CastLog logs the rest in under five seconds. Species, weight, bait, GPS, weather, pressure, water temp, moon phase. Wet hands, gloves, fish still flopping — it doesn't matter.

YOUR JOURNAL STAYS YOURS
- Voice logging in under 5 seconds — no taps, no typing
- Six conditions captured automatically on every catch
- Every spot private by default. No feeds, no leaderboards
- Works with zero signal — saves locally, syncs when you're back in range
- Export your full log any time, free, forever

WE WILL NEVER CHARGE YOU TO READ YOUR OWN HISTORY
Other apps locked years of your catches behind a subscription. You built that data. It's yours. Reading it is free in CastLog and always will be.

AI FISHING COPILOT
- Fish ID — photograph a catch and get the species instantly, with your local regulations pulled by GPS

KNOW THE WATER
- Interactive maps with depth contours for supported lakes

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-08-05*

Great app!! Easy to use, works well, and makes fishing even more fun. Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this. Building CastLog solo so reviews like this make the long days worth it. Tight lines! — Anthony

### 5/5 — Great Fishing App

*2026-07-23*

I’ve been using the app since early summer 2026 and it’s been great. The developer has put a lot of thought into creating this app and it shows. While the species identification occasionally gets confused on some less common fish, it’s spot on for sport fish. I love that it estimates the size and weight because I’m lazy, and for most catches an estimate is good enough. 

If you’ve been using any other apps, try this instead. Smooth interface, great features, responsive dev, and many more reasons.

**Developer response:** Thank you, this means a lot. You nailed exactly where the species ID stands right now. Sport fish are dialed in, and the less common species are what I’m actively training on, so that gap should keep closing. Really appreciate you being here since the early days. Tight lines.
