Angler's Anchor
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app is designed as an all-in-one, simple-to-use place for anglers to keep track of their latest big catches and store what they used to net ‘em. When a fisherman, whether causal or professional sportsman, is out on the lake, they don’t want to be fumbling through a complicated app just to log their slippery catch. That’s where the Angler’s Anchor can be a fisherman’s best friend. With a single button press the user is sent to the Add Catch screen, where they can take a picture and enter the scaly critter’s stats. Information like the species, lure used, time of day, how deep or murky the water was, is all vital to a successful return trip and another excited ‘fish-on’ call. This Add Catch screen has it all in one place. That gives the modern fisherman less time wasted on the screen and more time spent on the hook. Of course, that’s just logging the catch. The Angler’s Anchor provides even more features and ways for fisherman to up their game, including a Top Catches scoreboard, badges to earn, individual species stats and more.
