Gone Fishing is an app for serious fishermen. If you aren’t passionate about fishing it might not b worth your reading any further. Why? Because as I already wrote, Gone Fishing is for serious fishermen.
The app is basically a log book for you to record the various fish you catch. It is, however, a very well conceived and executed log book.
When you catch a fish you can quickly and easily add- the type of fish, the weight of the fish, the location where the fish was caught, the bait you used, and the date and time. Ypou can customize it and add additional details fields or notes, as well.
None of this is very impressive since it could be recorded just as easily with any note program on any device or even, heaven forbid, paper. The iPhone-esque aspect enters in in two areas. First,you can use the locations services to "geo-tag" the location you were in for the catch and second, you can snap a shot of the fish with the iPhone’s camera and attach it to the file. You can even watch a slide show of your catch! That way you can prove the "big catch" wasn’t a "fish story". Then again, it also means you can exaggerate any more.
In all, Gone Fishing is convenient app for people who love to fish and are looking for a simple, convenient way to keep track of all you catch.
Quick Take
Value: High if you are serious fishing. Low if not.
Would I Buy Again: No but only because my fishing days are over.
Learning Curve: Low
Who is it for: Serious fisher men and women
What I like: Convenient, well designed
What I Don’t: Require you to have and use your iPhone in and by water. How DO you get that fish smell off the device??
Final Statement: Great for a small group of hobbiests
Finally a fishing application for real anglers. Whether you are a Coarse, Game or Sea angler, record your favorite catches with Gone Fishing. Attach new or existing pictures and catch details to the Fish Log Database on your device.
Its easy to add and edit further details such as species, weight, bait, time, date, girth, length, depth, rod, reel, line, ghillie, hook and range.
Add extra notes such as temperature and wind direction and attach them to your catch.
Return to your favorite hotspot by adding Gone Fishing's built in drag and drop adjustable GPS location pin to your catch and leverage your database knowledge to bag up.
Quickly scroll through your Fish Log Database that uniquely sorts fish by species and then by weight to give a'top list'of you or your friends personal bests and view pictures using the built in slider.
We look forward to your feature requests and adding these in future updates.
Gone Fishing works best on iPhone 3G. It will run on the iPod touch but existing iPod models have no GPS or picture taking feature so locations aren't nearly as accurate or even available.
