Waterlands now learns your signature: the conditions that actually lift your catch rate, a today verdict (EPIC → POOR), and a 7-day outlook built from your own logged trips. - Reads — plan the trip before you go. Pick a spot and date and get a predicted read grounded in your most-similar past days on that water — expected catch rate, the best window, and the patterns that have produced for you. - Ask a Guide.

Open to a U.S. map, tap any state, and download it for offline use. - Getting Started hub to help new anglers find their footing. Improvements - Gauge data now loads on-device from every supported source — faster, and USACE dam gauges (like Bull Shoals) now show flow on your dashboard. - The Save (favorite) button is clearer everywhere you tap it. - The Read picker only offers rivers with real gauges, so no dead ends. Fixes - Creating a Read no longer lands on a blank screen. - Sessions open reliably (no more "Session Not Found"), show temperatures correctly in °F, and lead barometric pressure with its trend. - Removed placeholder catches and a duplicate "Ask a Guide" button from the old session screen.

1.2.0 brings push notifications, smarter alerts, and a big Explore map upgrade. New • Push notifications: real-time alerts delivered straight to your device. • Compound Alerts: build alerts from multiple conditions at once (e.g. flow above X AND rain in the forecast). • Explore map redesign: – Station and Weather modes (your saved spots stay visible in both) – Windy-style wind direction field – Rain radar overlay – Tap or long-press anywhere to see current weather and a forecast timeline for that exact location – Markers scale with zoom for a cleaner view Improvements • You now stay logged in — sessions refresh automatically instead of timing out. • Gauge data now pulls fairly from all supported sources, not just USGS. • Faster overall thanks to smarter caching. Fixes • Deleting a session now works reliably. • Fixed the Alerts screen crash and an alert card crash. • Fixed the New Activity screen footer overlapping content.

What's new in 1.1.0 Garmin watch sync Record fishing and hunting sessions on your paired Garmin watch and ship them to the phone over Bluetooth. No Garmin Connect cloud, no extra accounts. Linked-session mode lets you start on the phone and log catches from the watch in real time; offline catches stitch into the session on next sync. Group sessions Fish or hunt with friends. Convert any session into a group, share the join code or QR, and see everyone's catches plot live on the same map. Members who lose signal mid-trip have their late uploads stitched into the group's stats automatically when they reconnect. Whitewater activity New Strava-style float type focused on distance and water flow rather than catches. Quick-log flow markers in CFS as you run a stretch. Sessions heat map See where you've spent the most time across the season at a glance. Auto-detect on launch Start a float trip and the river segment plus stream gauge infer themselves from your launch GPS. No more hunting through pickers. Weather timeline Active session screen shows a scrubbable timeline of conditions across the day: air, wind, pressure. Reservoirs Reservoirs are first-class locations now: map markers, detail screens, log sessions against them. Password recovery and account deletion Forgot Password and Reset Password flows landed; account deletion is self-serve from the Profile screen. Quieter and tougher * Stays signed in across token expiry. No more random bounces to login mid-trip. * Offline resilience: network failures no longer block the app from being usable; pending writes queue and sync when you reconnect. * More accurate float distance. Outlier GPS pings filtered out, scored against a cached river GeoJSON so distance follows the actual waterway. * Sessions list shows your full history. Older sessions are no longer hidden behind a silent 10-row cap. * USGS, Colorado DWR, Montana DNRC, NOAA NWPS, and USACE Little Rock all render consistently as flow sources. * Station pressure shows the actual reading, not the sea-level adjusted value. Plus a long list of fixes: NOAA -999 sentinel readings no longer render as numbers, QR codes stay stable across renders, "Open on watch" appears when a Garmin is paired, the Sessions list refreshes on app foreground, and dozens more. Tap Settings, then Garmin Sync if you have a watch to pair. Get out on the water.
