September 12, 2026
A new Map, and a way to bring your old photos onto it! MAP See every catch and imported photo plotted where you actually caught it. UPLOAD PREVIOUS CATCH Bring in older photos from your library. Any photo that carries GPS places itself on the map, or drop them where they belong by tapping the map, or use your current location. PHOTO DETAILS Tap a mapped photo to name it, set the species, and save it into your journal alongside everything else. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Photos with location no longer import as "No GPS". • HEIC photos are supported alongside JPEG. • Fixed - Issues where sometimes exporting a backup produced no file at all. Backups now save to Files. • Fixed - Issues where a single stuck catch could stop everything else from syncing. • Fixed - The species picker no longer defaults to rainbow trout when nothing is chosen. • iPad UI layout fixes.
