About
iSolunar™ Hunting & Fishing Times is a leading solunar forecast application built for outdoor enthusiasts who want to maximize their time in the field or on the water. Using proven solunar theory — which correlates moon phases, moonrise, and moonset times with animal activity levels — iSolunar generates detailed daily and monthly activity forecasts for any location on the globe. For hunters, the app predicts when deer and other game are most likely to be active, highlighting peak windows around new moons and full moons. For anglers, the integrated fishing calendar identifies the best days and times to fish throughout the month, with heightened accuracy around lunar transitions. The app is available in two versions on the Apple App Store: a one-time paid purchase with optional in-app upgrades for premium weather data, tide information, and a mapping feature; and a free-trial subscription edition that unlocks all premium features for three days before prompting an auto-renewing subscription. Whether you're planning a weekend deer hunt or a deep-sea fishing trip, iSolunar gives you an actionable, science-backed edge by aligning your outings with nature's rhythms.
