We respect what Fishidy does well. Here is exactly where we're different and where we're not.
If you fish US bass tournaments, their lake community is genuinely useful. If you fish anywhere else — saltwater, AU, NZ, EU — or want a forecast that tells you when to fish before you go, the comparison favours us.
The forecast side is free forever — live map, bite score, 7-day forecast and spot pages, no account needed to browse. The ocean-intelligence layers (SST with isotherms and break detection, HSI habitat heatmap, chlorophyll, subsurface temperatures, altimetry) are the single paid tier: US$5.99/mo or US$49.99/yr across every covered region, with a free look over a window of your own local water.

A multi-input neural network scored per species, per hour — not a Solunar lookup. Inputs include wind, swell, tide stage, barometric pressure and trend, where the warm-cold water edges are, what the current is doing, moon phase, and a couple of dozen other features per hour. It is decision support built from live conditions, not a guarantee — we publish no accuracy figure, and some days the score is high and the water is dead.
Yes — the native iOS app is on the App Store (search is still indexing; the direct link is apps.apple.com/app/fishare/id6783726939), and it is free for everyone: there is no paid-tier gate on the app itself. A native Android app is on its way to Google Play. Until it lands, Fishare runs on Android as a Progressive Web App: open fishare.app in Chrome, then 'Add to Home Screen' — offline support and push notifications included.
Fishare tracks your home spots and pings you when the next 3-hour peak window opens. Log catches and blanks to teach the model your local patterns. The forecast, saved spots and catch log stay free, forever.
