Stoty Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I posted one of the projects I'd been working on a few weeks ago (an online fishing log) and I've had some amazing feedback from fellow members. I've even had multiple requests about making my log into an "app". I have looked into this, and it's just not worth it with all the setup and launching fees. The other option I have come up with is making my log available to anyone/everyone that would be interested by creating a "membership" based website. For a (very small) monthly fee, you can have your own personal online log setup that you would be able to access from anywhere you get a cell signal (internet access). My question to everyone is would this be something that you would potentially use for a few bucks a month? For more details about my log check out my original post ----> Found Here
Big Cliff Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I personally wouldn't but then I won't use Facebook or a lot of other sites or apps that I feel my information could be accessed easily by someone else. As for a fishing log; I keep most of mine in my head so it is always accessable, cell phone or not.
Stoty Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 Data would be secured and backed up on a regular basis. No worries about losing the data.
lew Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I kept a very basic log for muskies for a lot of years but it was more just to keep track of the numbers of fish I caught from one season to another. Date, time of day and whatever body of water I was on.
BITEME Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I wouldn't personally ....good idea though I like to keep it KISS (Keep it simple stupid)
Fisherman Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 No, my info is mine whether secure or not.
BillM Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Nope, the only way I'd use this if it was a downloadable app or similar.
EC1 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I'd probably use it if it were a one time fee, and to be used offline. Anyways, you've got yourself a great idea, it might not be for everyone, but you should have some sort of following!
BillM Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 The guys over on NPS would love this I'm sure, lol.
bassassin Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 monthly fees are a turn off for everyone!
Stoty Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 LOL Bill. I'll just keep it as a personal project then, doesn't seem to be much interest.
BillM Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 A phone app would be killer.. I'd buy that in a second.
bigugli Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I keep 2 diaries for the conservation authorities every year, as well as my own personal log. I just could not see a reason to have a digital log as well.
alphaalpha Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Id buy an app as well. A one time $5 purchase or something reasonable would do well. Monthly fees are the worst. -AA
misfish Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Im lucky enough I know how to click on the internet on my PC.LOL I have an old book that I use to keep all my days of fishing. Weather,water conditions,how many stacks were blowing.(oh i,ll bet thats got some wondering) Started it 1980.. Now I just go off my memory. It,s seems to be still working. My brain that is.LOL
manitoubass2 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Id buy an app for that. Is it really expensive to design/license an app???(serious question)
Stoty Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Yes, there's yearly fees of $100 plus registration fees as well. Plus the cost to have it developed as iOS programming is not in my list of known programming languages. Edited February 22, 2014 by Stoty
Stoty Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 Multiple platforms add to the cost. Apple would be first if I was to do it.
