About this app

Every fishing app shows you data. Sounder tells you what to do. Drop a pin on any water in the US — a tidal creek, the surf, a reservoir, a kelp bed — and Sounder reads it: what kind of water it is, which fish are likely there right now, the one bait to tie on, and exactly how to work it. TODAY, AT A GLANCE The day's tide curve with your bite windows drawn on it, live water temp, wind, sky and rain odds — and a two-day trip planner that says when to go, honestly. If the day is slow, Sounder says so and points at the next good hour instead of inventing one. A GUIDE IN YOUR POCKET 96 species across every US region — from pond bass to canyon tuna — each with real seasonal knowledge: rigs, techniques, tackle, best tides and light. Backed by live NOAA tides, marine forecasts, barometric trend, water clarity, and solunar feeding windows — and an AI briefing that talks you through the spot like a guide on the bow (5 fresh AI reads a month; re-reading one you've already pulled is free, and every other feature is unlimited). IT LEARNS YOUR WATER Every catch you log is silently stamped with the exact conditions. The Log turns your history into a species leaderboard with personal bests, shows which lures actually produce, and mines your patterns — "7 of 9 redfish came on falling tides" — then stars the upcoming windows that match how YOU actually catch. Private, on your phone, impossible to fake with crowd data. YOURS, ACTUALLY No account required. No social feed. No ads. No selling your spots. Your log exports whenever you want it. Optional email sync if you fish from two phones. Also in the box: search any lake, river, or ramp by name; the next good window at each of your saved spots; nautical charts (NOAA), live rain radar, satellite sea-surface temperature, wave forecasts, and a depth layer; per-state regulations links, keeper-slot flags, catch photos, personal bests, and a shareable "read" card that never reveals your coordinates. Sounder covers US waters — Atlantic, Gulf, Pacific, Great Lakes, and every pond, river, and reservoir in between. SOUNDER PRO — Everything above stays free, forever. Pro adds the Daily Fishing Report — weather, tides, sun & moon, your top five best bets with their baits, and the day's best windows, composed for YOUR spots every morning — plus unlimited AI reads, a 7-day planner with AI trip plans for every saved spot, bite alerts matched to your own patterns, per-species playbooks, and your best bait by conditions, mined from your log. Monthly $3.99 · Yearly $24.99 · Lifetime $49.99 (one-time). Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
