## What is Fishing Log?

Fishing Log doesn't show off catches. It answers one question: is today worth going out?

Open it and you get today's suitability index (0-100), plus the math behind it — six factors scored line by line: pressure trend, wind, rain, absolute pressure, temperature swing, and dawn/dusk window. When the score drops far enough, a safety cap kicks in and says it plainly: too windy, stay home.

■ Why you can trust the number
· Pressure is read as a 24-hour trend curve: a gentle drop no longer scores like a plunge, and absolute pressure is scored separately
· Wind uses the day's peak and rain the worst stretch of the day — no "average" smoothing
· Scores carry the rule version they were computed with, so old sessions are never compared as if nothing changed
· Scoring rules and weights are delivered by the server, so tuning doesn't wait for an app update

■ One weather timeline
· The past 24 hours of observations and the next 24 hours of forecast share one chart: solid is what happened, dashed is forecast
· Gaps stay gaps — nothing is interpolated
· The index reads the same data, so when the score moves you can point at the stretch that moved it
· Still water and flowing water use different weights: the same 72 means different things in each, and every spot can override it

■ Records that are only for you
· Start a session → log one cast, two taps; zero catches still saves (a blank is data too)
· The weather snapshot is carried in automatically and can't be edited, so your review matches the day as it was
· Stats show sessions, blank rate and species collection — with the definition right next to each number

■ Fish reference, close at hand
· 76 common freshwater and saltwater species, filtered by region, water, depth zone, habits, season, size, method and family
· Your own species can carry aliases, family, habits, methods, baits and tips — only the name is required

■ Fish legally
· Closed seasons and gear rules differ by country and region — check the rules where you fish before you go
· Don't fish during a closed season, and follow local laws and regulations

■ Privacy
· No account, no uploading of your spots or catches
· Location is requested only when you tap "Use Current Location", at city-level accuracy, used only to fetch weather — plus a reverse-geocoded city name for display; no tracks, no location history
· No tracking, no ad SDK

Weather data: Apple WeatherKit (with QWeather as an automatic backup source).

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.2.0 — 2026-11-04

Fishing Log 2.2 scores the day in finer steps and turns the species list into something you can filter.

■ The index: from single readings to bands
· Pressure is read as a 24-hour trend curve: a gentle drop (1-5 hPa) no longer scores like a plunge — it often comes before rain, when fish feed; only a steep drop (12 hPa and up) bottoms out
· Absolute pressure is scored as a deviation from standard pressure, using sea-level values only, with no altitude conversion
· Wind uses the day's peak and rain the worst stretch of the evaluation window — no averaging
· The dawn/dusk window gained a midday band: noon is no longer "outside the window", just a small -2
· Still water and flowing water use different weights: flowing water down-weights pressure and wind, up-weights rain and water temperature; every spot can override
· The rule version is stored with each score, so old sessions are never mixed with new ones

■ Weather timeline (free)
· The past 24 hours of observations and the next 24 hours of forecast in one chart: solid is what happened, dashed is forecast, and gaps stay gaps
· A new temperature trend card shares the same time window, so "pressure falling, temperature rising" reads at a glance
· Chart and index read the same data — when the score moves, you can point at the stretch that moved it

■ Pro
· Weather phases — pre-frontal, post-frontal, stable high and more — judged from the same timeline, with the evidence listed
· A 48-hour lookback; when the server only has 24 hours it says so plainly
· The index detail view expands layer by layer: what each factor scored, and why
· Two extra factors: moon phase and season window

■ Fish management
· The species library is now "Fish management": filter by region, water, depth zone, habits, season, size, method and family, multi-select
· Your own species can carry aliases, family, habits, methods, baits and tips — only the name is required

■ Also in this update
· Weight on each catch (kg / lb)
· Pick a spot on the map when editing a spot, with the address saved
· Dark Mode
· No more vertical text or clipping at accessibility sizes
· One spacing, corner radius and type scale across the app; all four tabs share a title bar
· Fewer Chinese strings leaking into English and Japanese: city names, index units, phase evidence, species and baits in reviews
· Fixed spot location being reset after returning from the map picker

### 2.1 — 2026-10-29

Fishing Log 2.1 remembers what you actually fish with.

· My species list: keep the fish you chase up front when logging, synced over iCloud
· Species library grown to 76, filterable by region and method, with your region picked by default
· My methods and my baits: tick them from the built-in lists or write your own; they come first in the catch form
· Set the method once per session: new catches inherit it and any single catch can still change it
· Blank days now record what you tried out there
· Stats gains a year calendar of sessions; tap a day for details, closed seasons shaded
· Refreshed catch cards and steadier iCloud sync

### 2.0 — 2026-10-27

Fishing Log 2.0 is a rewrite.

· New index home: six factors scored one by one, with the math a tap away
· Records are one card per session: the weather snapshot comes along, and catches, bait, method and notes stay together
· Stats filled in: sessions, blank rate and species progress — every number drills down
· New share cards for today's index and match reports, exported at 1080×1350
· Four app icons (morning, moonlit, dusk, rain) and a moonlit illustration for dark mode
· Closed-season notices carry the official notice number; regions without a verified notice say so plainly

### 1.0 — 2024-10-07

No release notes.
