The new and improved version of BlueTipz has arrived! BlueTipz by Deep Freeze is the first tip-up alert system sent straight to your smartphone (iPads, iPods, the BlueTipz Receiver, and other mobile devices can also work). When your tip-up is struck, if equipped with a BlueTipz Transmitter, your phone will be alerted. The user has the option to open scan for all BlueTipz Transmitters, or they can just scan for their own. You can also name your transmitters which allows you to know which tip-up has been struck. A Fish Log enables you to store information about your catch, take a picture, and even post to Facebook! To verify your mobile device is compatible, download the most current version BlueTipz mobile app. See DeepFreezeFishing.com for more detailed information.

Blind Guide

Read full description

Blind Guide is a field journal for waterfowl hunters and a forecast that learns from it. Log a hunt in under a minute. Blind Guide pulls the weather for you — temperature, wind, sky, barometric pressure and moon phase — and files it with your hunt and bird harvest. Then it reads that record back to you. Which blind produces on a west wind. Whether you actually do better on a falling barometer, or just think you do. Where the birds have been at this point in past seasons. The forecast feature provides a daily Hunt Score for each of your blinds, so you know which blind should have the birds based on migration, weather conditions, moon phase and your historical success. FREE, WITH NO LIMIT • Unlimited hunts logging, forever — no cap, no trial • Automatic weather logging on every hunt • Your season totals: birds, days afield, species • A two-day forecast for one of your spots PRO • A Hunt Score forecast for every spot you hunt • Which blind to hunt, matched to the wind • Hunt Scores tuned to what has actually produced for you • Your season explained — by species, spot, blind, weather and moon • The full conditions on every hunt • CSV export of everything you have logged BUILT ON REAL DATA The migration timing behind the forecast comes from decades of published waterfowl survey counts across all four flyways — state agency aerial surveys, refuge records and national archives — not a guess about when birds "usually" show up. YOUR SEASON, NOT THE CALENDAR Seasons run past New Year's, so Blind Guide groups them the way you talk about them: 25/26, not 2025 and 2026. Blind Guide Pro is $8.99/month or $49.99/year. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; manage or cancel any time in your Apple subscription settings.
