AI App That Picks the Right Fishing Lure From a Photo of the Spot
Snap a photo of your fishing spot and get AI lure and colour suggestions, plus a catch log.
In plain English
FishingAI is an iPhone app for people who fish. You take a photo of the water where you are fishing. The app looks at the photo, the weather and the time of day and suggests which lures and colours to try. It also keeps a log of your catches, and you pay a subscription to use it.
