Read full descriptionHide full description
4fish is your digital fishing journal – for all types of angling, with a special focus on carp fishing. **LOG YOUR CATCHES** Record every catch with fishing style, species, length and weight, bait, rig, hook size, lead weight, spot, wraps, depth, photo and voice note. Weather data and location are added automatically. **SAVE YOUR SPOTS** Mark your best fishing spots with GPS directly on the map. Save depth, bottom structure, number of wraps, notes, photos and voice notes – all in one place. **LIVE NAVIGATION TO YOUR SPOTS** You know the problem? Found a great spot from the boat, but couldn't find it again next time. 4fish solves that: a live GPS point on the map, a heading and a distance display guide you back to your spot with pinpoint accuracy. **SESSIONS** Log full sessions instead of just individual catches. Keep track of entire fishing days and look back at where and how you fished. **MAP WITH ALL ENTRIES AND SPOTS** All catches and spots on an interactive map. Filter by catches or spots, or use navigation mode directly from the map view. **SORT SPOTS BY DISTANCE** Show your spots sorted by distance from your current location – perfect when you have 50+ spots saved and need to find the nearest one fast. **AUTOMATIC WEATHER & WATER DATA** When logging a catch, location and full weather data are retrieved automatically. Also works retroactively using the EXIF date of your photos. **TWO ENTRY MODES** – Live: GPS and current weather right on the spot – From photo: GPS and historical weather added automatically **STATISTICS & ANALYSIS** Spot patterns – when, where and in what conditions fish bite best. **PRIVATE & LOCAL** All data stays on your device. No registration, no account, no mandatory cloud. **WORKS OFFLINE TOO** Saved catches, sessions and spots remain available. Internet is required for weather data and maps.

Verdict
