Curlytics lets you track curling statistics and draws - for yourself, or your team! Curlytics was designed to be simple yet comprehensive - as a curler interested in my own statistics, I wanted to make data entry fast enough to be usable on-ice without affecting pace of play*, yet also fully featured enough to be a usable tool to track progress and identify areas of improvement. Features include: - Shot and draw tracking (for individuals - team tracking is available with Curlytics Premium) - Watch integration - track your progress midgame on your wrist, with a few simple taps, and view it in the app later - Advanced stats tracking and sorting - Curlytics allows you to explore your shot data, filtering by type, difficulty, handle, position played, and more, in order to identify areas for improvement - Progress graphing - Curlytics allows you to visually explore and track your (or your team's) progress over time, all sortable/filterable by the above categories Thanks for using Curlytics, and good curling! *Note: in the spirit of curling, if you plan on using Curlytics on ice, please make sure the other team is okay with it :) Terms of Use for Curlytics can be found at: https://cypressapplications.com/terms

Reel Log turns every catch into data. Auto-fill weather, match today's conditions to past success, and combine fishing logs with your crew. Catch more, guess less. Reel Log is a fishing log built by anglers, for anglers. Log every catch — even the small ones — and let the app find the patterns you'd never spot on your own. Whether you're chasing walleye in 22 feet on a rock break or punching slop for largemouth, Reel Log turns every fish into data that makes the next one easier to find. WHAT REEL LOG DOES Log a catch in under a minute. Tap the species, drop in your length or weight, pick your technique, set the depth, structure, and water clarity. Add notes if you want. Hit save. That's it. The killer feature: tap "Auto-fill Weather" and Reel Log grabs your air temp, sky condition, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, and baro trend straight from your GPS location. No API key. No setup. Just real conditions, recorded automatically. The "Same Setup" button lets you log multiples in seconds when you're on a hot bite — perfect for crappies through the ice or a topwater morning when smallmouth are crushing. MATCH TODAY Open Patterns and tap "Match Today." Reel Log pulls current weather and shows you which techniques, depths, and structures have produced fish in conditions just like right now. It widens the search if recent data is thin so you always get something useful. PATTERNS THAT ACTUALLY HELP The more you log, the smarter it gets. Reel Log breaks down what's working by: Technique — what baits are putting fish in the boat Depth — by season, by water clarity Structure and bottom type — where fish are stacking up Time of day — when your best bites happen Barometric pressure — rising, falling, or stable Sky and wind — what conditions actually matter Moon phase — for the lunar believers Filter by species. Filter by season. Filter by lake. Compare your data against your friends'. Stop guessing and start fishing where the patterns point. PERSONAL BESTS AND LAKE REPORTS See your biggest fish by species, your most productive lake, your best single entry. Pull up any lake you've fished and get a complete report — total catches, average depth, top techniques, biggest fish. TRIPS Headed out with the crew? Create a trip, share the six-character code, and everyone joins from their own phone. All catches roll up into a live leaderboard with biggest fish, top species, and most productive technique. Every trip catch automatically saves to each angler's personal log too. FRIENDS Add fishing buddies by username. In Patterns, switch to "Friends + Me" to combine data and see what's working across the whole crew. Toggle individual friends on or off to compare or isolate. Tap any friend in the Friends tab to see their catches and highlights. BUILT FOR HOW YOU FISH Pick the size format that matches your style: inches, weight in pounds, or Small / Medium / Large Add custom techniques and structures — keep your own, hide the defaults you don't use Hide log form sections you'll never fill in (color, water temp, notes — your choice) Show or hide any pattern card from your dashboard Privacy controls: hide your secret spots and home lake from friends OFFLINE-FRIENDLY Log catches anywhere — Reel Log saves them on your device and syncs when you're back online. BUILT IN MINNESOTA Designed around the species we actually chase: walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, crappie, sunfish, perch, muskie, lake trout, and more. Add anything else you target. NO ADS. NO NOISE. Reel Log doesn't sell your data. It doesn't show ads. It doesn't push notifications you didn't ask for. It's a tool that gets out of your way and helps you catch more fish. Tight lines.
