- Prices are in NZD & are GST exclusive.
What device do I need?
The eCatch Logbook will run on your existing smartphone or tablet, Android or iOS. We recommend an IP69 rated device, possibly with a stylus/pen – these can be fiddly to use but work better when the screen gets wet.
How does the eCatch Logbook work?
The eCatch app submits data to FishServe over cellular or wifi connections via eCatch Servers.
You don’t have to be in cellular coverage while fishing. Catch data will be saved and synced when you get back in mobile signal, WiFi, or when you turn on your satellite wifi on your vessel.
How do I get eCatch?
