## What is Fishing Deluxe?

Your next fishing trip starts here.

Know the conditions before you cast, keep your favorite spots close, and remember the catches that made the day. Fishing Deluxe brings activity forecasts, weather, maps, and your catch journal together on iPhone and iPad.

FIND YOUR MOMENT
Explore major and minor solunar periods, Moon phases, sunrise and sunset, and hourly activity charts. Use the calendar to look ahead or revisit a day on the water.

READ THE CONDITIONS
Check hourly weather, wind, and atmospheric pressure trends. Save fishing locations, mark waypoints, and record your route. Log catches with photos, notes, and locations to build a journal worth returning to.

GO FURTHER WITH PREMIUM
Compare fishing windows with adjustable scoring weights, prepare trips with checklists, and explore tide and marine forecasts where available. Premium also opens astronomy tools, instruments including a barometer, and additional map features. Premium Lifetime is available as a one-time purchase. Eligible previous purchases can be restored.

Make it yours with Home Screen widgets and follow track recording through Live Activity.
