About

Uplander

Read full description

Uplander is a hunting journal for upland bird hunters. Log every hunt, build a spot book you actually trust, and keep the notes that decide where you go next season. Free, private, and built to work with no signal. LOG A HUNT IN SECONDS Bird, spot, birds down, shots fired, weather, gear, who was with you, and your dogs. TWO SCOREBOARDS This season and your lifetime, side by side, with an accuracy rating from Warming Up to Eagle Eye. Hide either one if you would rather not see it. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Already keep your seasons in a spreadsheet? Import it. Uplander reads CSV, JSON, and the GPX or KML files your mapping app exports, so years of hunts come across in one go. A SPOT BOOK THAT TRACKS ITSELF Mark a spot Candidate, Scouted, Proven or Ruled out, and note its condition this season. Notes from a past season flag themselves, because a field that was cut clean last year tells you nothing about this one. GET BACK THERE Drop a pin, import one from a photo you took in the field, or share one from Apple Maps. Then show it on the map, or start directions. FIELD NOTES WORTH KEEPING Tie a note to a spot, to a particular hunt, or to the birds it applies to. Search everything by place, bird, or tag. PACK LISTS Build one once, check it off before every trip, reset it for the next. SEASON COUNTDOWNS Track your openers and closing days, with an optional nudge about your license before the season starts. WILD-GAME RECIPES Six of them, for dove, pheasant and quail. All included. BADGES First Shot, Limit Out, Dead Eye, Mixed Bag, and more to find. TRIP IDEAS Ten hand-picked destinations, from a weekend away to the trip of a lifetime. PRIVATE, AND FREE Uplander is free. There are no in-app purchases, no subscription, and no ads. There is no account to make and no server: everything you log stays on your iPhone, so we never see your hunts, your spots, or your photos. Logging works fully offline, which matters where you hunt. Bag limits and season dates are your own entries plus generic defaults, not official regulations. Always confirm with your state wildlife agency before you hunt. Built by an upland hunter, for upland hunters. See you in the field.
