## What is World Fishing Map?

Just snap a photo of your catch. AI identifies the species and your catch is plotted on a
world map. See when, where and what is biting — by tide, weather, time of day and tackle —
with a catch-logging and analytics app made for anglers.
Before you head out, the Fishing Conditions Board brings tides, wind, waves, water
temperature and pressure together on one screen.

■ What you can do
- Snap & AI species ID — take a photo, get species candidates, confirm before saving.
- Plot catches on a world map — see your own catches and the community's.
- Sea chart — overlay official marine information (restricted areas, navigational aids,
  obstructions, seabed type, depth contours), or switch on the shaded seafloor map.
- Boat Mode — an instrument screen for boat anglers: speed, heading and distance while
  your track is recorded into a trip log (tracks stay on your device).
- Fishing Conditions Board — tides (high/low), sunrise/sunset and moon phase, plus
  wind, waves, sea surface temperature and pressure trends, today through 7 days ahead.
  The hourly Bite Score always comes with a breakdown of the reasoning behind it.
- My Spots — save your favourite places and check conditions in one tap. Get a
  heads-up the evening before promising days.
- Analyze by tide, moon phase, weather & marine conditions — water temperature,
  wave height and pressure change included — to discover your best patterns.
- Tackle analytics — break down catches by rod / reel / lure / rig / bait.
- Fish encyclopedia — browse by taxonomy; jump to the page of the fish you caught.
- Points & badges — Fish Token for trustworthy catches, Angler's Point that grows as
  you use the app, and achievement badges to collect.
- Community — likes, comments, follow, feed and direct messages.

■ Records you can trust
We automatically detect fraud such as re-photographing the same fish, and give objective
value (Fish Token) only to trustworthy catches — so the map and rankings are reliable.

■ Your spots stay secret
Choose how each catch's location is shared: exact, only me, or blurred. Locations shown
to others are blurred by default.

■ Signing in
You can sign in with Apple or with Google.

■ A note on safety
AI can misidentify fish, including venomous species. Never rely solely on the result —
always verify safety yourself before handling any fish.
Weather and marine values are shown exactly as provided by our data sources. The Bite
Score is a statistical guide — not a weather forecast, and not a guarantee of catches.
Always rely on official warnings and advisories when deciding whether to head out.

■ Price
The app is free to download and carries no ads. Logging catches, AI species ID, the world
map, the fish encyclopedia and the Fishing Conditions Board stay free.
For anglers who want to see more, two optional monthly subscriptions are available:
- Premium (Silver-level viewing perks)
- Pro (Gold-level viewing perks)
The price in your currency is shown in the app. First-time subscribers get 7 days free on
either plan; cancel during the free period and you are not charged. Subscriptions renew
each period until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime from your App Store subscription
settings.

A subscription buys visibility, and nothing else. Fish Token and Angler's Point are never
for sale — they only grow when you actually fish and log it. Nor are other anglers'
pinpoint spots: paying gets you location detail down to about 100 m, and no further. The
sea chart, Boat Mode and the seafloor map open either by earning a higher rank through
logging catches, or with a plan.
