GoFree Hooked fishing app for free
Record your catch data, share hot spots and create fishing competitions on your phoneIn a further development in the flourishing field of handheld fishing and boating electronics, Navico's recently released its new fishing app GoFree Hooked.
Free for download, the stand-alone GoFree Hooked app is a mobile tracking solution for anglers, with the capability to record and share every fishing trip, whether from a boat or the shore, and create instant fishing competitions.
The app automatically saves the time, location and navigation track of each outing. The app also features a fast and simple 'Catch' function to quickly log fish-catch details such as photos, size, weight, species and other information.
After anglers log a catch, they can quickly inform friends or family by sharing these details via text or social media (quelle horreur; who would have thought of sharing your hot spot?).
Navico says the app merges GPS navigational data with catch details for a complete picture of every catch, providing a clear picture of catch patterns from your fishing trips.
All data is stored on secure GoFree cloud servers for easy access anywhere. This allows users the option to overlay personal catch details as waypoints on their own private layer of the Insight Genesis Social Map, where personal catch details are apparently kept confidential from other GoFree users (phew).
CREATE FISHING COMPETITIONS
Breaking new ground, the GoFree Hooked app also delivers a powerful 'Compete' feature, so anglers can create their own personal tournaments among friends.
Competition guidelines are said to be easy to set up, and are customisable by key tactics, like weight or length and quantity.
A record of the competition is saved based on the date, location, tournament name and participants – allowing anglers to prove their skills within a defined group or fishing fraternity.

"From the easy to use interface, to the fun competition feature, the GoFree Hooked app gives anglers the ability to challenge their friends or even challenge others around the world," said Leif Ottosson, CEO, Navico.
"You can decide whether to share your success or keep it private. However you use the app, it is a useful tool to help keep a record of your catches, and analyse the results to improve your fishing.”
The GoFree Hooked app is available now at no charge for iOS mobile devices from the Apple App Store and for Android devices at Google Play. More at www.gofreemarine.com/apps/
