Make every hunting season useful next year. Keep your sits, sightings and lessons together, then compare the records you made. LOG EACH SIT Record the stand, start time, duration, sky, wind and temperature. Add sightings with species, counts and times. Keep notes and several photos with each sit, choose a cover and arrange the collection. COMPARE YOUR SEASONS Pro puts two seasons side by side: recorded sits, hours on stand, animals seen, sightings per logged hour, stands visited and lessons recorded. Compare individual stands and export a comparison PDF. These are summaries of your own records, not wildlife forecasts. Missing time or an unfinished season can change the comparison. KEEP YOUR FIELDBOOK TOGETHER Review stand and condition charts. Save lessons and stories in the season journal, pin useful notes and pack with gear checklists. Load a packing list and clear its checkmarks for the next trip. Seasons run from August through July. Display temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit; CSV temperatures use Fahrenheit. TAKE YOUR RECORDS WITH YOU Pro includes a Season Recap PDF, a comparison PDF and a sit-log CSV. Export a season pack with the recap, CSV, complete season records and saved photo files in one ZIP. The pack is a portable record; it does not restore the app or purchases. YOUR PRIVATE JOURNAL No BlindLog account, ads or tracking. Your journal stays on your device. If you contact support, we receive the message, email address and basic app/device diagnostics you choose to send. Your journal and photos are not attached automatically. Read the Privacy Policy for details. FREE AND PRO New users can record their first 2 sits for free, with current-season stats, the journal and gear checklists. People who used BlindLog before 2.0 keep their 10-sit free allowance. Pro adds unlimited sits, past-season history, season comparison and exports. Choose Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime Pro. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase. The app and Apple's purchase sheet show the applicable price and billing terms before you confirm. Always follow local hunting regulations.
