Blind Guide is a field journal for waterfowl hunters and a forecast that learns from it. Log a hunt in under a minute. Blind Guide pulls the weather for you — temperature, wind, sky, barometric pressure and moon phase — and adds it to your hunt and bird harvest. Then it reads that record back to you: Which blind produces on a west wind. Whether you actually do better on a falling barometer, or just think you do. Where the birds have been at this point in past seasons. The forecast feature provides a daily Hunt Score for each of your blinds, so you know which blind should have the birds based on migration, weather conditions, moon phase and your historical success. The statistics pane is a visual record of the birds you've harvested in a season with the ability to see details like 'Harvest by Month', 'Best Conditions', 'Best Blind', and "Best Day' all based on the hunts you record. FREE, WITH NO LIMIT • Unlimited hunts logging, forever — no cap, no trial • Automatic weather logging on every hunt • Your season totals: birds, days afield, species • A two-day forecast for one of your spots PRO • A 7-day Hunt Score forecast for every spot you hunt • Which blind to hunt, matched to the wind • Hunt Scores tuned to what has actually produced for you • Your season explained — by species, spot, blind, weather and moon • The full conditions on every hunt • CSV export of everything you have logged BUILT ON REAL DATA The migration timing behind the forecast comes from decades of published waterfowl survey counts across all four flyways — state agency aerial surveys, refuge records and national archives — not a guess about when birds "usually" show up. Blind Guide Pro is $8.99/month or $49.99/year. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; manage or cancel any time in your Apple subscription settings.
