Fish Pass is the fastest way to purchase fishing on rivers and lakes in the UK. Based upon the successful Westcountry Angling Passport (WAP) scheme, that has run in Devon and Cornwall for nearly 20 years, Fish Pass brings this system into the digital age with a stylish and friendly interface. Fish Pass offers fishing for wild brown trout, sea trout, salmon and grayling in unrivalled surroundings as well as a multitude of coarse venues. Fish Pass has completely replaced the old Westcountry Angling Passport tokens, allowing you to purchase tokens in advance of your day’s fishing and simply scan a code at the river to convert your tokens into a day ticket. No paper, no pen, and your catch returns can be filled in the app too. Browse the beats available with photos, catches, tackle and tactics. Detailed mapping of parking and the exact banks you can fish from. Top up your account with new tokens with your debit or credit card. Catch returns must be filled as per the rules of WAP and this is as simple as a couple of drop down fields and a few words typed out if you feel the need. Photos of your prized catch can be uploaded or problems that you have encountered on the river like possible pollution or invasive species.

Mat Track is your jiu-jitsu training log, wherever you train. Record your sessions, build a weekly streak and see your progress over time. You can now use Mat Track even if your academy does not use it for membership management. START WITH YOUR NEXT SESSION Log a session before creating an account. Add the date, duration, activity, where you trained and private notes. Your first sessions stay on your phone until you sign in and finish setting up your account. YOUR TRAINING, IN ONE PLACE Keep personal training sessions alongside your connected gym's official check-ins. Browse your history, calendar and monthly activity charts, and see how consistently you have trained. Record sessions offline and sync them when you are connected again. FIND YOUR GYM Search for your academy by name, city or postcode, choose where you train and update your training gym when you move. If your gym is missing, you can add it during setup. A STREAK WORTH KEEPING Train each week to grow your streak. Your training home shows recent activity, session totals and whether you have trained this week, so it is easy to see your progress. MAKE IT PERSONAL Keep your own belt and stripes on your personal profile and choose your preferred activity and session duration. Add private notes to remember what you worked on. MORE WITH A CONNECTED MEMBERSHIP If your academy uses Mat Track, connect your membership to access the features your gym offers: • Check in by scanning your gym's QR code or showing your personal code at the door. • Browse the timetable and book classes. • Sign gym waivers on your phone. • Follow gym leaderboards, challenges and milestone badges. • Send guest passes to friends. Personal training logs help you track your own progress. Official gym attendance remains separate and is used for gym leaderboards. Sign in with Apple, Google or an email code. Personal training does not require your academy to use Mat Track; membership features require a connected membership at a participating gym. You can delete your app account from your profile.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mat Track at every 2 months against FishPass's every 9 months. FishPass's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
