Trail Pro Intel is scouting intelligence for whitetail hunters who go where the cell signal doesn't. Put your trail-camera photos, the wind, the terrain and the solunar calendar in one place, and pick the right stand on the right morning. The free plan is the full app. Pro is optional. TRAIL-CAMERA PHOTOS, READ FOR YOU Pull the SD card and drop the photos in. The AI reads each photo: species, sex and age, and on whitetail bucks an estimate of points, inside spread and a Boone and Crockett score range. Uploads are unlimited. AI analysis is 10 photos a month on the free plan and 15 on Pro. To follow one buck across cameras and weeks, add him to your Hit List and assign his photos to him. HUNT FORECAST, SCORED 0–100 Each day gets one whitetail score built from published research: the time of day against sunrise and sunset, temperature, wind, rain, the rut, and hunting pressure on deer-season weekends. Rut timing comes from state wildlife agency dates in 15 states. Moon phase and barometric pressure are shown but not scored for whitetail, because the research doesn't back them. Turkey, elk, waterfowl, bear, coyote and hog each get a score of their own. The free plan shows 3 days. Pro shows 7 and 10. WIND, TERRAIN AND SCENT 3D terrain maps with a live wind overlay, and a scent cone from the current wind at your stand and each camera, so you can plan entry and exit routes that keep your wind off the bedding. Wind arrows grow with the wind. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Your stands, field notes, gear and tagged photos are stored on your phone and sync when service comes back. Map tiles draw offline for ground you've already viewed. There's no download-a-region feature, so open new country while you still have a signal. FIELD NOTES AND GEAR LOCKER Field notes for rubs, scrapes, tracks and sits, pinned on the map and tied to your stands. The Gear Locker keeps condition, purchase date and maintenance notes for your gear, with pre-season and post-season service reminders. ANALYTICS, FREE See when your deer move, from your own camera photos: by hour, by day of the week, by temperature, by wind direction and by moon phase, plus an activity heatmap of day by hour. MOON GUIDE Major and minor solunar windows for your exact spot, with moon phase. The free plan shows 3 days. Pro unlocks the weekly and monthly calendar. BUILT FOR OLDER EYES TOO The iPhone app follows your text size, so turning up the size in Settings enlarges everything. PRO: $1.99 A MONTH OR $19.99 A YEAR - 7- and 10-day Hunt Forecast - Full weekly and monthly Moon Guide - 15 AI photo analyses a month - CSV export of your photo gallery Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, bought through the App Store.
