Most fishing apps are built for rod and reel. Bow Log isn't. It's a harvest log built for bowfishing: nights on the water, shallow flats, carp and gar stacked up in the weeds. Log a harvest in under 30 seconds. Snap a photo, tag the species, and the spot pins itself to your map. No signal at the lake? It saves offline and syncs when you're back. Your map fills up with pins. Patterns show up fast. That bank that produces every June full moon? You'll see it. Know when to go. Moon phase, live weather, and USGS water levels for any spot. Free for everyone. The community map shows where people are actually shooting fish. Locations are fuzzed to about a mile, so nobody burns your exact hole. Share to see, or subscribe and keep everything private. Run with a crew? Make one. Shared leaderboards settle who's actually the best shot. What's free: Your first 3 harvests, your personal map, full conditions, and community map access when you share. Bow Log Unlimited ($3.99/month or $39.99/year): Unlimited harvest logging, full privacy on the community map, and crew leaderboards. Log your harvests. Remember your spots. Know when to go.
