About
ForFishSake is a feature-rich fishing companion app built for the modern angler. At its core is FishWizard™, an AI-powered fish identification engine — snap a photo of your catch and the app automatically identifies the species, estimates length and weight, and logs the entry complete with GPS location, date, weather conditions, temperature, and barometric pressure. The personal logbook keeps all your catches organized by species, with linked media and published posts in one easy-to-browse dashboard. A built-in social feed lets anglers share catches, follow others, and engage with a community of fishing enthusiasts. Trip Tracking records your full route, waypoints, fish types, and environmental conditions so you can review and learn from every outing. Safety is a first-class feature: the Assisted Safety system lets users send location updates via voice, photo, or video to designated contacts, and a 'Return Time' feature auto-alerts contacts with your GPS location if you fail to check in. Live weather data — including tide info, wind speed, cloud cover, and barometric pressure — is automatically attached to every logged catch. Additional tools include a map with waypoint management for scouting new fishing spots, a fishing news feed with gear reviews and expert tips, and a sustainability initiative where a portion of revenue goes to conservation charities. ForFishSake offers a 14-day free trial followed by a $4.99/month subscription.
