SFI Fishing App - just launched

[tincan]

Just got an email from SFI announcing the release of their brand new fishing app.

I just downloaded it from the App Store on my iphone (don't think it's available for Android yet) and I'll be interested to test it out. At first glance it appears to have the following functionality:
-acts as a digital license (there is a catch log, etc). it has my license number stored
-has species ID
-has updated regs (still need to try this part out). I already had to sync my app in order to download new regs
-has charts with RCA's, fishing areas, etc.

from the email I just got:

"British Columbia's free tidal waters (saltwater) sport fishing app, created by the Sport Fishing Institute of BC in partnership with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and supported by the Pacific Salmon Foundation."

"FishingBC" is the title.

I you enter 'Sport Fishing Institute', it will also come up.

I swear I searched for that before but it never showed up. It's definitely there now! Thanks @Prairie Locked

It's amazing it took this long for this app to be created....

Can you download a gpx file for plotter overlay?

No worries!


It may have appeared this time, now that it's 'trending' in the last 20 minutes! Lol

Not for Android yet.

here's what the app looks like for when you are searching, FYI. Pretty cool looking design, IMO. Will be interesting to see how many guys/gals use it and how user-friendly it is.... can't be worse than DFO website though!!!

Doesn't seem to be available for iPad, but looks good on the phone.

Shouldn't be the case, it says its compatible with iOS 8.0 and later with iPhone, iPad and iPod. Problem downloading it or opening it after?

I went to the app store on my iPhone - found it and downloaded. Went to the store on my iPad - not there. When I go to my "purchased apps" on my iPad, it's not there.

Well, that sucks then. Shouldn't be the case, wonder what's up with it then?

Just downloaded it and its a huge step in the right direction.

Agreed!

You can download it on an iPad if you search iPhone apps only. Not designed for an iPad but still usable.

I was able to download it onto my iPad by following the link from their Facebook page. Pedder bay resort has released a link as well. Seems like a great App!

Aha - that works! Thanks. Much easier on these old eyes.
