lostproperty Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hey Everyone, Tried to search but couldn't find anything specific due to the word "iphone" appearing after every Taptalk post, so here goes. Post up your favourite Apps that you use for fishing and what you find good about the App so I can download them all! Currently I am using.... Weatherzone+ ($1.99 from memory but has got a free version also with limited features) Great for predicting the weather. Has tides, moon cycles, BOM Pressure and weather predictions. Also has state warnings which is useful for checking when planning to head offshore. GoodReader (about 5 bucks but well worth it!) Save PDF Files to your iPhone, great for saving the Saltwater Fishing Guidelines & I also have the Tide Tables PDF from waterways saved so I can predict tide times for upcoming fishing sessions!

Shanemills Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Mate are those numbers water depth ?? yes it is water depth I use it all the time as a chart plotter. Even used it to navigate out to browns and nearly to heatons hill even when phone has no reception it still works. Also use a program called fishing cal it uses the sun and moon cycles and tells you how productive fishing should be. It is fairly reliable good as a guide.

hottyscotty Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Flick Fishing is good because it really does test your patience. Not sure about skills but definately patience. Good when you got the fishing bug and no fish/bites around Oh those fishing apps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsswordfisherman Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Watch the navionics one as it will drain your battery very quickly. Make sure your phone is fully charged before going out fishing I just made a post with links to various sites that give us information - they are the ones across the top of this forum. If you are using tapatalk 1. open tapatalk 2. open fishraider 3. go to search and type in MOBILE FISHING LINKS 4. save that search and you can go straight to that list of links 5. subscribe to that topic and it will be in your favourites list Best I can do until some up and coming app developer contacts me to work on a fishraider app - C'MON seriously make a name for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robofish Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 HottyScotty I had a look at flick fishing and now I can't stop playing it! My wife thinks I am sad Dave Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracey Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 +1 for Navionics. If your speedo is inaccurate then GPS Speed has a great accurate presentation of knots, although Navionics also displays speed. For a portable knot reference I found FishingKnots app to have really good animation. Cheers, Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.dawg Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Flick fishing is really boring compared to real fishing... Very addictive unlike flick fishing much more realistic then other fishing games and a lot more fish species and it's possible to get spooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Incredible Hull Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Watch the navionics one as it will drain your battery very quickly. Make sure your phone is fully charged before going out fishing I'm taking a guess here, but its most likely due to the constant usage of the GPS. I don't know about the other phones out there, but mine doesn't last all day with the GPS constantly in use, so charging to full won't help.

locodave Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 navionics i have only just installed it havent used it on the water yet as a chart plotted but looks well worth the $15.99 Not if you have vodafail as your carrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanemills Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Not if you have vodafail as your carrier doesn't matter which carrier I'm with vodafail and chart plotter worked nearly to heatons with no reception. But I do have reception out to shelf. Were other carriers lost it not very far out at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
