FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you get started.

Yes. Browsing guides, reading reviews, checking conditions, and using the app toolkit are always free for anglers. You only pay the guide for the trip you book.

No. The full directory works in any browser. The free app adds the toolkit for when you want it on the water: catch ID, water levels, conditions, and tracking that keeps recording with no signal.

We seed listings from public data, so many guides are already here, and they can claim their listing free to keep the details current.

Partly, and we would rather be straight about which parts. GPS tracking and catch logging keep working with no signal, and everything syncs when you get back in cell range. Map tiles you have already loaded stay on screen, but there is no download-this-area button yet, so water you have never opened will not draw. Downloadable maps are on the way.

In your pocket

Free, no account needed. River levels, maps, and an AI fish identifier in your pocket.
