Bitevane: Fishing Forecast

About this app

Bitevane is a fishing forecast built around two things anglers watch: the solunar periods and the barometer. Open a spot and you see today's major and minor bite times, how air pressure has moved and where it is heading, wind, cloud, sunrise, sunset and the moon, all on one screen.

Then it learns from you. Tap Bite when a fish takes, and Bitevane saves the conditions of that moment. After a few entries it shows what your own bites have in common and marks the coming hours that look the same.

How it works
1. Save your spots: a lake, a pier, a bend in the river. Use your location or drop a pin on the map.
2. Read the day: a timeline with major and minor solunar periods, a pressure curve labeled rising, steady or falling, and hourly wind.
3. Log your bites with one tap, then check My pattern before the next trip.

Solunar bite times
- Major periods around moon overhead and moon underfoot, minor periods around moonrise and moonset
- A day rating from the moon phase and from how solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk
- Moon phase, illumination, moonrise and moonset, sunrise, sunset and twilight
- Calculated on your phone, so the solunar calendar works with no signal

Barometer and weather
- Sea-level pressure over recent hours and the days ahead, in inHg, hPa, mb or kPa
- A plain label for the 3-hour change: rising fast, rising, steady, falling, falling fast
- On phones with a pressure sensor, the live sensor reading next to the forecast
- Wind speed, gusts and direction, cloud cover, rain and air temperature by the hour

My pattern
Every logged bite keeps the time, the spot, the pressure and its trend, the wind, the moon phase, the light and the solunar period you were in. Add a species and a short note if you like. Once you have five bites, My pattern shows simple counts, for example: 7 of 9 bites came on falling or steady pressure with wind under 10 mph. Upcoming hours that fit your pattern get a mark on the timeline. It is counting, not magic: with only a few entries the pattern is a rough hint, and it gets clearer the more you log.

Spots, calendar and widget
- Saved spots with today's rating for each one at a glance
- A 7-day forecast, plus a 14-day solunar outlook you can open by watching a short ad
- A map to add spots and compare conditions nearby
- A home screen widget with the next bite time and the pressure trend
- Units of your choice: mph or km/h, inHg, hPa, mb or kPa, 12 or 24 hours

Data and limits
Weather data comes from open weather services under the CC BY 4.0 license, and each source is named in the app. Solunar theory is a traditional method, not a guarantee. Fish also respond to water temperature, light, food and current in ways no forecast fully captures. Use Bitevane to plan, follow local fishing regulations, check conditions on the water, and do not rely on it for navigation or safety decisions.

Privacy and ads
Your spots and bite log are stored on your phone. Location is used only when you ask for conditions where you are. The app is supported by ads, and the ad provider may collect data as described in the privacy policy and the Data safety section of this listing.
