Five doors
The whole app is five doors. One sentence each, one screen each, about thirty seconds. Read it once and you will never hunt for anything again.
- Step 1 · Door one · Home
Step 1 of 5. Home is today
Home is the state of your water right now — your favorited gauges, the weather over them, and the score for the day.
→NextEverything else is a way to add to what shows up here.
- Step 2 · Door two · Explore
Step 2 of 5. Explore is the map
Explore starts at the whole country and drills down: states, rivers, gauges, reservoirs, snowpack, and the coast.
→NextAnything you find here can be saved as a Spot.
- Step 3 · Door three · The ＋
Step 3 of 5. The ＋ starts a trip
The button in the middle of the bar begins a session — fishing or hunting — and keeps time, location and catches while you are out.
This one is the phone’s job. Sessions are started on the mobile app or a paired Garmin watch, because they need GPS and a screen you can reach with wet hands; the web shows you everything afterwards.
→NextWhen you stop, it becomes an entry in the Journal.MobileStarts on the phone
Seven activity types, one button. The web app is where you read the record back; the ＋ itself is on the phone and the watch.
- Step 4 · Door four · Journal
Step 4 of 5. The Journal is everything you did
The Journal holds every session you have logged, the map of where the fish actually were, and the Debriefs that closed each one out.
→NextThis is the raw material every score is built from.
- Step 5 · Door five · Intel
Step 5 of 5. Intel is everything else
Codes, Spots, Alerts, Environments, Groups and settings all live behind Intel — the drawer for everything that is not today, the map, a trip, or your history.
→NextThat is the whole app. Five doors.
