GotOne! is a serious tool for serious anglers - NOT another Facebook for fishermen! GotOne! is a real simple fishing log app that helps you become a better fisherman through data-driven insights, while contributing to the research and science that protects our fisheries and the fish we love to catch. GotOne! allows fishermen to log their catches through a few quick taps. For each catch, fishermen record the species and the length of the fish. Based on the location and time of each catch, GotOne! seamlessly records water temperature, moon phase, tide, wind and other environmental information. Fisherman can also record additional, optional information, such as catch notes and other observational information. QUICK AND EASY CATCH LOGGING Simply tap to record species and length, GotOne! does the rest Enable Location Services to allow GotOne! To automatically record important environmental data, such as tide, wind, moon phase, and much more PERSONAL LOG Compile a historical log of all your personal catches Review catches by date DATA-DRIVEN FISHING INSIGHTS Review your best catches and your personal fishing achievements Gain insights into the key factors that determine your fishing success: e.g. What moon phase is the best for catching redfish in your waters? CONTRIBUTE TO THE SCIENCE OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT GotOne! was developed in partnership with the American Saltwater Guides Association, marine research and science organizations, and with input from professional fishing guides. Your recorded catch data not only contributes to making YOU a better fisherman - it contributes insights to inform the research and conservation needed to protect the fish and fisheries we love DATA PRIVACY GotOne! takes data privacy VERY seriously. We know that fishermen are protective of their hard-earned fishing knowledge. Personal fishing data is never shared without the user’s permission. Aggregate data generalizes location information to fifteen-mile regions - useful for scientific research applications, but too general to “burn spots.”

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GotOne! at none against RipCharts's 10. GotOne! also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 71%). RipCharts's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (488 vs 28). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RipCharts sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. GotOne! asks for nothing beyond the download.
RipCharts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RipCharts has 488 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of RipCharts's written reviews are positive against 85% of GotOne!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RipCharts ships an update monthly, GotOne! every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
