App Review

App Review

FishBrain

I chose the Fishbrain app because of my love for the sport of fishing and useful this app has been to me over the last 6 months. Where I am originally from in northern Utah I have a very good idea where many of the most popular and best fishing spots are. However, since moving to St. George my knowledge of this area and how to fish for the species of fish in this area is very slim. I would get so frustrated at times because I never knew where to go and once I got there I didn't know what baits to use. Fishbrain completely helped my gain knowledge of this area and turn this into one of my favorite areas to fish in Utah. 


The picture above is the screen that is displayed once you click into someones catch. It gives you one or more pictures of the fish or of the person holding the fish. This is also where you can comment on the catch.


This is the GeoGrid map that allows to scan large areas of ground and discover where people are catching fish. Most streams, lakes, and ponds are also labeled regardless if there is a catch in that area or not. This is also a good way to see what fisheries may be near you that you never knew about.


This is what your Profile screen looks like. It displays how many catches you have posted, friends you are either following or being followed by, and the fisheries you are the King of the Water at.
