CATCHES is a leisure fishing community for global anglers independently developed by SOLOT Information Technology. It provides a one-stop service to users and a win-win outcome by creating a community of users who then contribute to the development of an international ecosystem in the fishing area. It already covers 100+ countries and regions all over the world with millions of users enjoying the professional services that CATCHES provides. Global Tide Information: Over 30 million net-based tide prediction points cover the world, supporting tide variation information in those locations much more accurately than similar applications. These 30 million+ positions cover the world with an accuracy scope of 3 kilometres which is again much more accurate than competing apps. The exclusive offline search function is even available in remote salt water locations. Weather: The app supports weather searches and sea forecasts for the week ahead including professional weather prediction, wave height, precipitation, wind strength, wind direction and water temperature, hourly for each day. This provides a safe and predictable fishing trip according to the season, hours of daylight and tide variation, as well as moon phases. Smart Measurement: Smart recognition matches with CATCHES' measurement tag function, and photographing in multi-angle view with effective scope of 3 metres and minimal error or +/- 1% is easy even in complex ambient light. You can say goodbye to slippers and bottles as indicators of fish size! Fishing Statistics: CATCHES provides data analysis of fishing places, regions, species and other relevant elements based on large volumes of real catch data, as well as global weather predictions. Fishing Places: It provides information on over 200,000 main freshwater and 100,000+ island fishing locations. Users can view information on tides, weather, species distribution, catch history, etc. Once linked with a fishing place, users can even link into the community of nearby friends in that location.
