Kooks Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hey All, I've been thinking about doing a fishing app for the iphone for a while. I thought I'd throw the question out to you guys and see what your thoughts were....What would you guys like to see in a fishing app? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Incredible Hull Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Tide Times + weather + wind, GPS with a map to mark spots. Overall something really simple to use - others I've tried require too much fiddling around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3zza Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Size and bag limit could be useful as well, with an option to change according to the state you're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoiscool Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Size and bag limit could be useful as well, with an option to change according to the state you're in. +1 for the above, with pics etc. Also tide and moon phase, plus a barometer.

mrsswordfisherman Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 There is already an app called Fishing NSW but it has some bugs It has got all the bag limits etc Perhaps make an improved version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cut_loose Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 How about a fishing game that actually has Australian fish, i'd kill for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'd like a FishID app. Or even better would be an app that turns your iPhone (or Android) into a fishing rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helliconia Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Your all missing the obvious.... A function to submit a report of the fish you caught automatically to Fishraider!! A bunch of tick boxes to select what info to send, i.e. GPS coordinates, attach picture, bait used etc. and a free text box for the report.

Robinsoi Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 What about the function for land based fishos in particular whereby you point the phone towards the water where you intend to fish and you get a screen display just like that of a sounder displaying water depth, schools of fish etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinsoi Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Not yet...it would involve an external device as well Thanks mate, I just thought I would throw in my first comment for a bit fun as I do all my fishing land based and obviously don't have access to a sounder which would be good. Thanks for the update Kooks! Kind Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
