Frequently asked questions

The dashboard, every river, live flows and forecasts, the Fishability Score and the cited fly-shop reports are free — no account, no card.

Pro adds Cody, the AI guide who answers your questions from today's live data. That is what Pro includes today: $14.99 a month or $129 a year, plus tax where it applies. See pricing.

Not in the app stores, and there doesn't need to be. You can add Hatchwise to your home screen today and it opens like an app, including with no signal:

• iPhone (Safari): tap Share → Add to Home Screen.
• Android (Chrome): tap the ⋮ menu → Install app (or Add to Home screen).

Offline, pages you've opened before still load, clearly marked as saved copies — live flows and weather need a connection.

Yes. Mark spot is live for signed-in accounts: one tap saves your GPS location and the time on your phone, even in airplane mode, and syncs it to your account the next time you have signal. You need to have signed in once while online.

Mark spot is the first piece of the catch log. Adding species, flies, rigs, photos and a conditions snapshot to each mark is in development, as is the AI trip planner. Neither is available yet, and neither is included in Pro today.

A score needs an ideal-flow range written for that specific river — 300 cfs is perfect on one and unfishable on another. Rivers without one yet show live gauge data only. We'd rather leave the score blank than invent one.

No. The Fishability Score is a relative opinion — it ranks rivers against each other on today's conditions to help you choose where to spend an evening. It is a planning aid, not a guarantee of fish.

You are. Check current Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations, licensing, closures and access rules before you fish. Hatchwise doesn't tell you where you're allowed to be — for access and parking, use a tool like TroutRoutes.

If Hatchwise doesn't make your next trip better, email support@hatchwise.pro within 30 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full. The guarantee applies once per person, to a first subscription. Full details are in the Terms.

You can cancel any time from your account; Pro stays on until the end of the period you've paid for.
