Why Isn't My Compass Working On My iPhone?
Do I Have To Calibrate My Cell Phone's Compass Each Time I Use It?
It’s definitely a good idea, and it takes less than a minute. If you don’t you may find the readings inaccurate and jittery. And it’s not the app, it’s the phone’s sensors, so no matter what app you use, from Fishing Fanatic to Google maps, you should definitely calibrate. Just hold your phone out in front of you at arm’s length and make several figure eights.
Why does the GPS Notice Keep Popping Up?
Usually there are two reasons that cause this. You either do not have Precise Location Enabled or you do not have Location Always Enabled.
This makes it difficult for Fishing Fanatic to do its job. Please go into the App Settings for Fishing Fanatic and enable these. The easiest way is to hold down the Fishing Fanatic Icon on your home screen and then tap the icon. This will take you directly to App Settings.
What If I Can't Figure Something Out?
Although Fishing Fanatic is the easiest app in the world, there will be times when you might get confused about what a feature does or how it works. In that case, there’s a convenient user guide right on the app and another one on this website. If the user guide isn’t enough, just go to the Contact Us page and send us a message. A support person will answer your question, usually within a day or less.
Do The Weather And Moon Really Affect Fish Movement?
Fishing Fanatic’s Lunar calendar plays a crucial role by recognizing the significance of the moon’s influence on fish behavior. Fish respond to the powerful tidal movements governed by the moon. During new and full moons, when tidal fluctuations are at their peak, fish feeding levels intensify.
Additionally, in the seasons of spring and fall, fish strategically choose periods of heightened tidal flow to spawn, aiming to disperse their eggs extensively. Fishing Fanatic’s Lunar features help you leverage these lunar patterns for successful fishing adventures.
Do I Need An Internet Connection To Use Fishing Fanatic?
To access the weather on any app known to man, you will need an internet connection, either wifi or through your cell phone data. It doesn’t take much data to update, but you do need internet. GPS, on the other hand, requires no internet connection at all. It’s done completely through the Global Positioning Satellites above you. It does use battery power, so make sure you charge up completely before heading out.
What About GPS Accuracy?
The accuracy of the GPS depends on the model of your phone. Some phones are just more accurate. As for the Fishing Fanatic app itself, you can adjust the accuracy in the settings. The number indicates the accuracy within so many meters, the lower numbers being more accurate. It’s a give and take. The more accurate you want the readings, the longer it takes to get the readings. At extreme accuracy we could be talking minutes, so set it to the highest number that will accomplish your task. The GPS is set to 20 meters (a little over 60 feet) upon installation, and that’s a good starting point. Also, you will get better GPS readings in some areas than in others. If you find the GPS taking too long, move it up from 20 meters to 30 or 40 and try again.
Why Wont My Fishing Log Photos Show Up After Updating The App?
There have been a lot of changes to the Fishing Fanatic App, some major and some minor. When we added the ability to edit and share your Fishing Log photos, we had to make some one-time adjustments.
To get your photos back, simply tap on the Fishing Log entry and choose Edit the log entry. Once inside the Log Entry Editor, tap the Choose A Photo button and add you photo once again. We are sorry for any inconvenience this brings, but we’re sure you’ll love the new features!
