Fishing
· v0.4.5
About
Fishing activity app with fish and beer counting capabilities. For a one day fishing trip, beer counter will help you keep track of consumed beverages.
Start or pause the activity as usual by pressing start button.
The fish counter screen is pretty straight forward with fish count, activity timer and HR to monitor your excitement level.
Fish count is also recorded in FIT activity file and will be displayed on Garmin Connect activity summary on web and mobile.
Beer count is NOT recorded in FIT file as its purpose is informative only. Let me know, if beer count publishing to activity summary should be included in app settings as an option.
Blood alcohol levels are displayed in permilles ; calculated using weight and gender data from user profile and beverage volume of 500ml and 5% alcohol content. Future versions will include settings to adjust default beverage and adding of a coefficient for precision purposes as every individual is unique. Also, timer is set to decrease 0.16 permilles per hour.
The beer counter screen is based on strictly theoretical and globalized calculations and must never be treated as a reliable source of information.
Touch controls:
- Start/pause activity as usual with button. Pause shows resume/save/discard menu. Save/discard options exits the app. Future versions will check if beer counter timer is still active and stop the activity without exiting app.
- Swipe up/down to adjust counters (fish counter can be adjusted only after activity has been started)
- Swipe left to switch between screens. Beer counter is available while the activity hasn't been started.
- Swipe right to display a resume/quit menu (only available while the activity hasn't been started).
Non-touch controls:
- Start/pause activity as usual with the start button.
- Up/down adjusts counters.
- Back/lap button switches between counters, only when the activity has been started. Otherwise, it will display the resume/quit menu. Might change in future versions by using button hold. Let me know what you think.
Versions in near future will include:
- Configurable stopwatch for staying in one place for too long
- Bar with GPS strength when the app has been started
- Summary page with complete fishing stats (total fish count, total time, average time per weak/month/year)
- Background capabilities (???)
- Support for more devices
- Waypoints - save catch locations and navigate to nearby spots.
Feedback is always welcome. Please don't leave a rating, if the app isn't working for you. It has been tested on emulators, not on physical devices, so the result may be different on each device. All listed devices have been tested on emulators, except for fenix 5 and vivo 3, so any of you have the chance to download it. If it's not working, write an email, and I'll either remove the device from supported list until I can test it physically or ther's an obvious bug in the code. Thank you!
