Doesn’t Work

The idea for this app is great. However, the basic functions don’t work. First of all there is no app, kicks you over to a website. The buttons to “Get Started” don’t work. When you try to find a fly it won’t let you add a location, it only allows current location, which says is blocked by my browser even though it’s not.

I gave up and cancelled my subscription.

Response from developer

Good morning. I’m sorry to hear you were having so much trouble. There’s a lot to unpack here but maybe I can help: * there is an iOS and an Android app that are downloadable via the App Store or Google Play Store. The functionality is identical to that on the website. Not sure how you ended up on the website. I suspect that perhaps you clicked on the version of our Ad that points at the website. All the links within the app only direct to App pages. * there aren’t any “get started” buttons. I have to assume you are referring to the graphical Example buttons that generate key phrases for you and run simple searches. We’ve tested many (many) browsers as well as many mobile devices and they do work properly. * when using a website in a web browser that wants to use your current geolocation, you must accept (allow) it to when it initially asks you. If you choose to not allow it, that setting is typically stored in the browser settings for that site and must be cleared in order to reset it.* the ability to select a specific U.S. Region and/or specify a Date to filter your search results, rather than using your current date and/or location, is available by tapping/clicking the Advanced > button which displays those inputs. Again, I’m very sorry to hear that you had trouble. If you’d like to reach out via the Contact page (https://www.hatchpedia.com/Contact) I’d be happy to personally walk you through getting set up properly with the app on your device and I could even reset your 7-day trial for you. There are also a set of 30-second quick tip videos on YouTube to help get started using the app - in these videos you can see the iOS app in action. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_KR9F7q0RM&list=PLUs1QGBip6Gb2ABUxNL2jLgxEh0-AzgZl) Have a nice day. Tight lines!

Great App

I have been using the app frequently on IOS and it works flawlessly even without cell service. It’s easy to use and the descriptions and photos are excellent. It’s also a great educational tool.

Response from developer

So glad that you’re enjoying it and finding it helpful. Tight lines!

Great tool with a lot of hard work

I’m giving this five stars not because I was paid, given a free subscription, or because I’m a family member of the developer. I do so because I know that the person behind this app poured his heart and soul into it to make it as close to perfect as humanly possible (we know we can never obtain that category). I cannot wait to try this bugger out on my next trip and when I do some high alpine lakes backpacking/fishing trips. I’m certain it will point me in the right direction. Even if you think you know what to use, try this app, it may just bring you better results.

Thank you very much! Can't say how much we appreciate that. :)

Amazing!

I have been messing around with the web version for awhile now, simply amazing job at putting it all together. Now that the IoS version is launched I look forward to all the utility available now.

Response from developer

Thank you so much!
