ReelIQ Is Live on the App Store

It's happening. ReelIQ is live on the App Store today.

After a long stretch of building, testing, and one last on-water trip with wet hands and wind we'd rather forget — ReelIQ is officially in your hands. Download it, log a catch, and tell us what you think.

What you're getting

ReelIQ is the AI fishing app for iPhone, built around three ideas:

• On-device AI species identification. Snap a photo, ReelIQ tells you what you caught. 775 species, fully offline. Works at the dock, on the boat, miles from cell service.
• A bite forecast trained on your catches. Most apps give you a generic forecast. ReelIQ scores every day 0–100 based on your history — your best temperatures, moon phases, barometric windows, water bodies. The more you log, the sharper it gets.
• Private by design. No account. No email. No data on our servers. Your catches, GPS spots, and patterns stay on your iPhone, full stop. That part wasn't a marketing line — it was a non-negotiable from day one.

Plus the rest: 7-day forecast, Solunar feeding windows, AR fish measurement, branded share cards, Home Screen widgets, the works. The features page has the full list.

Pricing

We tried to keep this fair:

• Free for the first 10 catches, forever. Take it for a real spin before you pay anything.
• ReelIQ Pro: $4.99/month or $29.99/year (about $2.50/month).
• 7-day free trial on the yearly plan for new subscribers.

The free tier gets you the full catch flow with AI species ID, GPS, weather auto-fill, and AR measurement. Pro unlocks unlimited catches, the bite forecast, Insights, the heatmap, widgets, and share cards.

What's next

A few honest words about the road ahead.

This is version 1.0 — solid, tested, ready for real anglers — but the roadmap is wide open. We're an indie team in North Dakota, and we build based on what you actually tell us. If something feels off, if there's a species we should support better, if there's a feature you'd love, send us a note. We read every message.

Next on our list:

• Sponsoring and fishing the Dakota Walleye Classic July 24–25 on Lake Sakakawea
• More species accuracy on the trickier IDs (we already log the corrections you make and improve from them)
• iCloud backup so your catches survive a phone upgrade
• A few things we're not announcing yet

Thank you

Every beta tester, every early reader of this blog, every angler who emailed feedback during the build — thank you. ReelIQ exists because you cared enough to push us toward something good.

If you've been waiting for the link: here it is. Tight lines.
