FishBytes is a fishing log that does the logging for you. Press one button when a fish hits and FishBytes saves the spot, the time and the fight. Your trip route records by GPS in the background, so you spend more time fishing and less time on your phone. Log a catch without unlocking: - Action Button on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, Back Tap or Siri on any iPhone - Flic 2 Bluetooth button you can clip to your hat or life jacket - Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep your trip one glance away Let your phone do the rest: - Species ID from your catch photo, running on your phone, so your photo is never uploaded - Already have catch photos? Choose them and FishBytes finds the fish and builds your past trips for you - Every trip records your route with each fish pinned on the map, including the ones that got away See how you're doing: - Every fish gets a tier, ranked by length against the Master Angler mark for its species - Scorecard adds up your best five fish, the way a tournament scores a bag - Species index of the biggest fish you've caught of each species - Stats for hours on the water, trips, and longest and heaviest fish, by year or month Your spots stay yours: No public feed and no map of other anglers' spots. Your fishing log is stored on your phone, and trips, catches, photos and species ID all work without signal. Only the maps need a connection. Built by an angler, for anglers. Questions or feedback?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FishBytes at none against BiteLog's shown. BiteLog's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
