Frequently Asked Questions
What tide is best for fishing?
The moving water around high and low tide; slack tide is usually slowest.
Do moon phases affect fishing?
Yes — new and full moons create bigger tides and stronger feeding windows.
What are major and minor feeding times?
Solunar windows when fish are most active; the app shows them daily.
Does it work offline?
Yes — saved stations and logs work without a signal.
Can I track my catches?
Yes — log species, size, bait, weather and location to spot patterns.
Is the app free?
Yes — tides, forecasts and the catch log are free, with an optional ad-free Pro upgrade.
