Hog Log is a journaling app designed for fly fishermen to record their catches on a day out on the water. Fly fishermen are able to log a variety of common fish (trout, bass, etc.), as well as their respective size, location, date caught, fly used and water temperature. Users are then able to search across these facets to help inform which how the types of flies, water temperature and date impacted their ability to land a hog.
The page below details how to use and enter data into Hog Log. All data and hogs are stored on your device or iCloud.
Click on "Settings" in the bottom section to configure your profile. The Settings page allows users to enter in their name and add a respective photo. Hog Log does not have any servers or account creation, so all data is stored locally on your Apple device/iCloud.
Hog Log also supports the ability to export all of your catches via the "Data Export" capability. Clicking on this button will open the messaging window, allowing users to send a CSV file of their catches via iMessage, email and other means.
Clicking "Add New Hog" opens the "Edit Hog" screen. Here, users can add:
Photo of their catch
Type of fish caught (currently supports a handful of common fish)

Only the type and size are required to be able to save a hog.
Once hogs are entered, they are viewable in a list form via the "Hog Log" tab. Here, users can search across all of the different facets available on the Edit Hog screen (e.g., type, length, location, etc.).
Users can quickly edit and remove entries by clicking the "Edit" button, or by swiping are you right on an individual entry. Once a hog is deleted, there is no way to undo the action.
Users can also click on the "Map" selection to view a map with pins of each of their different hogs.
