    Question NorCal Rivers app for iPhone: Feedback requested

    Dear fly fishing fellow,

    I would like to get some feedback on the free iPhone app I have developed recently. (Sorry, no Android version as of yet).

    NorCal Rivers App. (https://apple.co/3d594iE)


    This app is still a work-in-progress project, and I intend to work on new features in the coming weeks, based on user feedback.

    I want to get your opinion on features you would like to see in an app like this.

    Sincerely,
    Jyrki

    (Related to this, there's another app I developed that helps you plan your river activities by reminding you when it gets too dark and if there is any moonlight tonight.

    Darkness Alert. (https://apple.co/3tUu8iB))

    Some questions the app attempts to answer: (not all implemented yet)

    - When can I start fishing this morning? When is it too dark to fish tonight? Is there moonlight that helps?

    - Is the water level too high or low? Is it too cold or hot? Too muddy? Worst yet - is the river flooded or blown out right now?

    - Are there fishing regulations I need to consider on this particular river or this particular stretch of the river?

    - How did I do last time I was here? Where did I fish, when was I here, what was the water level, did I have success? Did I catch something?

    - What fishing method should I use considering the season? What lures, what flies?

    - What insects are hatching as per the calendar? Should I use flies or gear?

    - Are there anyone else here who is catching anything? Fishing Reports? Could I report my catch to benefit other fishers?

    - Where should I cast? Where are the fishing holes? Runs and riffles?

    - Where can I camp? Hotels/Motels?

    - Where can I get food/gas/fishing supplies/groceries?

    - What are the fishing regulations for this river? Any regulations that can change daily? (e.g., low-flow closures, run-quota met?) How can I find out this? Can the app tell this, or should I call someone? Website?

    - Is it going to rain tonight? What is the weather forecast for the river (flow) and the ambient weather forecast?

    - Can someone join me for the fishing trip? How can I entice them to join? (Share in FB/Instagram?)

    - if someone joins me, how do we split the cost of the trip? If I drive, do others pay for my gas? And vice versa?

    - I am concerned about the river status and would like to influence policymakers. How can I do that? Can I email or call someone? Who/where?

    - I would like to volunteer to help clean up the river banks. Is there any organization that I could join to coordinate efforts?

    - I see poaching activity; where can I report it?
