Free shows you today. Premium scores every UK mark for the seven days ahead, names the best window on each, plans every trip with a backup, and keeps your catches yours.
The same mark, two ways
Free
7 Sep – 13 SepToday's score, and a locked week. You find out how good Thursday was on Thursday.
Premium
7 Sep – 13 SepThursday 06:40 – 08:40 · flooding tide, light offshore wind, first light
Illustrative scores. The real ones come from the live forecast for each mark.
1,647 marks across 6 regions, scored for the week ahead twice a day, with guides for 94 species.
What Premium adds
The calendar on every mark, the map and your saved spots all open up to the whole week.
A score for every day of the week ahead, with the tide, wind, swell and light factors behind it, so you know which day to book off before it arrives.
Free shows today only.
Not just a good day: the two hours to be standing on the mark, worked from the tide state and the conditions around it.
Free gives broad, day-level timing.
Colour the whole coast by any day this week and pick the mark as well as the day. When your usual spot looks poor, the better one is a glance away.
Free colours the map for today.
Bass, cod, the rays, smoothhound, tope, huss, conger, mullet, bream, sea trout, turbot and more: score every mark and the whole map for the fish you actually want.
Free tunes to the popular, easier species.
Turn a mark and a date into a session: the window, the tactics and what to do if it turns.
Plan every session, not just one: the mark, the window, the recommended method and the species most likely to show for the day.
Free includes one planned trip a calendar month.
If the wind swings or the swell builds, the next best window at that mark is already worked out and waiting on the plan.
Free plans have no backup.
Where on the mark to fish, which tide stages matter, the tactics for each species and a fallback when the conditions are wrong, on marks with an insight guide.
Free gets the standard mark guide.
Logging catches and writing up sessions is free and unlimited. Premium is about keeping them yours and reading more into them.
Photograph the catch and let the app name the species from the picture. Ten times the free allowance, and you can always pick the species yourself.
Free includes 5 a month.
Keep the whole record to yourself, or share a single catch or report by private link. Nothing you make private is ever published again, even if you cancel.
Free catches and reports are public.
Show the town, just the county, or nothing at all. A secret spot stays secret while the catch still counts on your profile.
Free shows the mark.
Every high and low water time and height on other anglers' session reports, so you can see exactly where on the tide the fish came.
Free shows springs or neaps only.

Before you decide
From the billing portal on your account page, in a couple of taps. There is no minimum term and nothing to email. You keep Premium until the end of the period you have paid for.
No. It is £4.99 a month, billed monthly, and you can stop whenever you like. Nothing is charged until you confirm on Stripe's checkout page.
The free plan is the try-out: today's forecast on every mark, one planned trip a month, saved spots with daily alerts, and unlimited catch logging and session write-ups. Premium opens the rest of the week and removes the monthly limit on plans.
The same forecast engine scores every mark for the whole week, but the free plan only shows today. Premium shows all seven days, marks the best one, and names the best two-hour window on each, so you can choose which day to go rather than checking on the morning.
Signing in never starts a payment. When you continue you go to Stripe's secure checkout to enter your card details, then come straight back here with Premium switched on. We never see or store your card.
No. Logging catches and writing up sessions is unlimited on the free plan. Premium adds 50 AI fish identifications a month instead of 5, private and link-only sharing, hidden locations and the tide curve on every report.
They stay private. Anything you made private or hid the location of stays exactly as you left it; nothing is ever published on your behalf when a subscription ends. You just cannot make new things private until you subscribe again.
