## What is FishNerd?

Totally free. No in-app purchases.

No "Pro" tier, no paywall, nothing locked away — FishNerd is the fishing app that's actually free. The only catch is the fish.

Snap one photo and FishNerd does the rest: our AI names the species, reads the GPS to pin your exact spot, and logs the weather, pressure, moon and tide — the full story of every catch, in seconds.

WHY ANGLERS LOVE FISHNERD
• Totally free — no in-app purchases, no paywall, no "Pro"
• AI species ID from a single photo, with local size & bag limits
• Automatic GPS from your photos + live maps
• Weather, pressure, moon & tides on every catch
• Your private catch log — spot your patterns by species, spot & month
• Fish with your crew — share catches, keep your spots friends-only
• English, Português, and Español

Whether you're chasing bass at dawn or peacock bass on the fly, FishNerd turns every trip into data you'll actually use — and memories you'll want to share.

A note on spots: FishNerd is a private logbook, not a spot-finder. You log your own locations and see only the spots your friends choose to share — we never reveal other anglers' or strangers' spots, and we never sell your location.

Download free and log your next catch. Tight lines!

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-07

Light theme is here.
Choose Light, Dark, or match your phone — Profile → Theme.

Import photos that have no location.
Photos shared from WhatsApp and other messaging apps arrive with the GPS
stripped out, and FishNerd used to refuse them. Now they save. Catches
missing a spot are clearly flagged, and you can pin them on the map
whenever you like — pin one and we'll offer to use that same spot for your
other catches from the same hour.

A cleaner way to switch between catches.
Catches, Map and Reports now share one compact bar: Mine, Everyone, and a
menu for your groups. No more rows of chips scrolling off the screen.
Filters open in a sheet that leaves the tab bar reachable.

Better conditions at a glance.
The bite chart now covers all 24 hours of the day you're viewing, and you
can swipe left or right on the Weather and Conditions cards to move
between today, tomorrow and the day after.

Friend requests you won't miss.
A notification the moment someone adds you, and a reminder if an invite is
still waiting a week later.

Also in this release:
• Sharing a mix of photos and videos now explains what was skipped instead
  of failing silently
• Catch cards sent to WhatsApp keep your photo's original shape
• Phone verification now tries WhatsApp as well as SMS, with more
  countries supported
• A friendlier Log a Catch screen
• Fixes across the map, the catch list and sign-in

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-21

• Faster AI species ID — most catches identify in seconds
• See friends' and groups' catches on the Catches tab
• Swipe through every photo of a catch
