About

Ripples Fish

Features
Read full description

Ripples is the social network for sport fishing: a feed of catches with photo and video, tournaments with live leaderboards, rankings, fishing trips planned with friends, a spot map and a weather forecast built for fishing. All in one place, free. A NETWORK OF ANGLERS ONLY Follow friends, like and comment on catches with photo and video, discover anglers in your region and build your team. In the chat you can send fishing spots and routes straight to a friend, ready to open on the map. LOG EVERY FISH Take the photo and the app suggests the species. Date, time and location come from the photo itself; you just confirm the size. The catch goes into your log with the exact spot, and you choose who sees it: only you, your followers or everyone. SPORT FISHING TOURNAMENTS Create a tournament, send the code and you are done: the leaderboard updates instantly, by biggest fish or by count, with catch approval and rules you set. There is even a knockout bracket mode, solo or in teams. Works for the boat crew, the club or a whole community. RANKING AND ACHIEVEMENTS Compete in the overall and regional rankings, follow your stats and unlock achievements as you hit new marks. FISHING TRIPS WITH FRIENDS Plan the trip: invite the crew, build the checklist, split expenses and check the forecast for the day. On the water, Live Fishing Session tracks distance, time and catches on the iPhone lock screen. YOUR SPOTS ON THE MAP Mark spots, boat ramps, structure and fishing lakes on satellite or street maps. Save an area to your phone and keep seeing the map with no signal, navigate to the spot and warn others with on-water alerts. WEATHER MADE FOR FISHING Wind, pressure, moon phase, solunar table and the good windows of the day, at your spot. Compare forecast sources, see which one has been most accurate in your region and check the wind model by model (ECMWF, GFS and ICON). GEAR, LURES AND SPECIES Organize your tackle box and gear and browse the species catalog, with the names each region uses. NO NONSENSE No video ads, no selling your data and no paid plan. Tackle shops, guides and lodges in your region can appear in the feed as sponsored, always labeled. Built by anglers in Brazil. Available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Questions or ideas: reach us in Help, inside the app.
