Fishing App is built for places with no coverage. Your records are saved on your phone first and synchronised when a connection is available.
What works offline
- logging a catch — the species list, your position (GPS needs no network) and photos;
- saving, editing and deleting spots and catches;
- opening your catches and spots, with their photos;
- the Profile lists, with sorting and search;
- the forecast for places you opened while you were online — it is kept for up to seven days;
- the units and the other settings.
What needs a connection
- the background map. Your pins and your position are still drawn. There is no way to download maps in advance;
- searching for places, and the names of waters and places;
- fresh weather and official weather warnings;
- the conditions of a new catch (tide, wind, pressure, moon) — they are filled in once the phone is online;
- Delete My Data;
- the links to the Terms, the Privacy Policy and the App Store.
How you can tell
- On the map: "Map details need a connection. Your saved spots and GPS still work."
- Under the forecast: "Offline - live updates paused · weather from 3:24 PM".
- On a new catch: "Conditions will fill in shortly".
Synchronising
- The app synchronises by itself while it is open and the phone is online. There is no "sync" button and nothing to tap.
- It does not synchronise while it is closed. After a trip without coverage, open the app once you are online.
- The app has no sign that says "synchronised". A new catch whose conditions have filled in has reached our servers.
Before you go somewhere without coverage
While you are still online, open the Forecast for the place you are going to. It is then available offline for up to seven days. The background map cannot be saved in advance.
Important
The photos of your catches, and anything not yet synchronised, exist only on your phone. Deleting the app removes them: Reinstalling the app or changing phones
