CatchHour scores every hour at your water — from your location or a pin anywhere in the world. It reads pressure, its trend, wind, temperature, cloud, rain, the sun and the moon, and tells you plainly when it is worth going.
Built on the forecast engine already used daily by anglers in Georgia.
Sample score. The app computes it for your water, hour by hour.
A single model can be wrong about wind or a passing front — and a forecast built on it is wrong with it. CatchHour takes the median of five national models, so one outlier cannot move your score.
ECMWF, ICON, GFS, UKMO and ARPEGE. The median is what you see — the outlier is outvoted.
Every model is shown hour by hour. When they diverge, that uncertainty is yours to judge — not hidden.
Three-hour pressure tendency to the WMO standard, solunar periods, moon phase. Every factor and its weight is written down.
Nine factors, weighted — not one number dressed up as a prediction. Each is shown separately, so you can see why an hour scored the way it did.
Sixteen languages, and a starter list of well-known waters in seventeen countries — from Loch Lomond and Lake Garda to Lake Sevan, Mingachevir, Lake Baikal and the Tbilisi Sea. Add your own spots anywhere in the world; they stay on your phone.
