Your catches, photos, and GPS coordinates live on your phone — not on someone else's server.
Elevated Fishing is a private fishing log that requires no account and does no tracking. Everything you log — catches, photos, GPS, and settings — is stored in a local database on your device. There are zero analytics SDKs, no cloud sync, and no ads, and shared Brag Cards strip the GPS so your spots stay secret.
Privacy isn't a setting here — it's the architecture.
No account. No sign-up, no email, no login. Install and start logging. There's nothing to breach or sell.
No cloud sync. Your data lives in a local SQLite database on your phone, not on someone else's server.
No analytics SDKs. No Firebase, Mixpanel, Sentry, Crashlytics, or Google Analytics. We can't see what you do in the app.
No shared location. GPS stays on-device, and Brag Cards never carry coordinates. A card shows the lake's name if you logged one, never the spot.
No ads. No data brokers. No social feed. Just you and your data.
A truly private app still needs a few outside facts — the weather when you caught a fish, the name of the lake you're on, the map tiles under your pins. Elevated Fishing keeps every one of those calls anonymous and free of your personal data:
None of these requests carry an identity, an account, or your catch history — there's no account to attach them to. For the full legal detail, read the Privacy Policy.
No. There is no sign-up, no email collection, and no login. You install the app and start logging catches immediately. Because there is no account, there is nothing to breach, sell, or lock you out of.
No. Your GPS coordinates are stored on your device to power your private Catch Map; they are never uploaded to any Elevated Fishing server, because there isn't one. To fill in the weather and the water body name, the app does send a catch's coordinates (nothing else: no identity, account, or catch history) to the National Weather Service and OpenStreetMap; those lookups are the only time a location leaves your phone. When you share a Brag Card, the GPS coordinates are never included, so your honey holes stay yours even when you post a photo. A card shows the lake's name if you logged one, never the spot.
On your device, in a local SQLite database inside the app's private storage. Photos sit alongside it. Nothing is sent to any Elevated Fishing server, because there isn't one. To move to a new phone, use Backup and Restore, which exports everything as a single ZIP file you control.
No. There are zero analytics SDKs in the app: no Firebase, no Mixpanel, no Sentry, no Crashlytics, and no Google Analytics. No ads and no data brokers. We literally cannot see what you do in the app.
