Are you a carp, pike, whitefish, sea, or other type of fisherman? With BiteTracker's fishing log, you can easily, quickly, and privately keep track of all your catches. Register a bite (whether you catched or lossed it) is simple. BiteTracker pre-fills as much information as possible, such as your location and the date and time, which it can extract from photos you take. If you're getting lots of bites in a short amount of time, you can quickly add multiple bites and supplement each with information from the previous one. You might be concerned about the privacy of your fishing data, but with BiteTracker, all your catches are stored safely and privately, and only you can view them. We use the data in your logbook only to provide you with useful statistics, such as your most successful fishing spots and bait types. When you first log in to the app, we ask what type of fisherman you are so that we can provide tailored suggestions for fish and bait types. You can always modify the suggestions or add your own. If you have comments, tips, or suggestions for improving the app, please let us know. At BiteTracker, we're dedicated to improving fishing experiences for fishermen, by fishermen.
