Fishing apps for the phone and webI love technology and am always looking at fishing apps on the web and on my android phone. There are apps to log your catches, share pictures and even keep track of conditions. Most stuff comes out for the iPhone first but it eventually makes it way to Android. I recently got an iPad so I will be using Apple apps soon. We would love to see you pictures here first but these apps are a good way to keep a record. Phone AppsThe first app is Whoppa.net. This app at the moment is only available for the iPhone, but information can also be entered on their website. I lets you give a good description of the fish and includes time of year, water conditions, fly and hook size. You can also post a picture and mark it on a Google map. The second app I have used is from Orvis called Orvis Fly Fishing in the Android market. The publisher is Green Mountain Digital and you can purchase it for $14.99. The upside is you get a $10 gift certificate to Orvis when you buy the app. The down side is after I downloaded the videos I have not opened it much. It has a lot of information on flies, knots and the river conditions which are posted by Orvis outfitters. It does have river conditions all over the US but I used it mostly for the podcasts. It has them all in one spot and they are easy to download and listen too. For the most part I think it was a little high priced but is well made. |
