I want to go to "Eging"! I want to go to the squid fishing! But the businessman cannot readily go busily! If "Eging" is made with a smartphone at least even in such a case! I have made it as fishing application for to self-satisfaction. It is the genre that is considerably enthusiastic for application of "the fishing", but should want to affect "Eging" for 365 days if it is a person devoted to "Eging"! Because I produced it in my limited time, I make much of only an element experience of simplest "Eging". "egi arrival at choice > cast > bottom > wild chervil re- > hit > ranking" ・I cannot go for fishing by hard work today either. ・It rains, and fishing is not made absent!! ・There were too many people and was not able to catch it during a season… etc.... I taste such a sad situation many times. Please hit a tangle in "Egingcast" in such a case! OK, let's catch squid in "Eging"!!

EGINGCAST's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
