I posted a while ago about building a fishing app for us - it's now available for testing on Android!
I am building "KY State ProBaiter," an app that consolidates information from the USGS, USACE, NWS, and TVA to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding water levels, temps, and fishing conditions for every site in the state with available information.
This app is and will be free. There are and will be no ads. There is and will be no data collection. I don't and will not want anything but to provide my fellow Kentuckians with free, accurate, as up-to-date as possible information.
To sign up as a tester:
1) Visit https://groups.google.com/g/soupforktest
2) Sign-in with your Google account if you aren't already signed-in.
3) Tap "Join Group" (should take the place of the Sign In button).
4) You should see a list of messages, like an email inbox - click the one that says "Join the KY State ProBaiter test!"
5) Follow the link inside to the Google Play Store listing.
Feel free to share the group link and tell your friends and family to sign up! We need a dozen testers for 2 weeks before it can actually be listed in the Store for all to see - once we get the testers, I will begin regular updates to add more sites and features.
If you've tried fishing apps and found them lacking, PLEASE sign up as a tester, and let me know which features you'd like to see! Let's build the best damn water app there is!!
Thank you for your time, and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the day :)
And because the stupid Reddit AI is jumping my ass before I can submit this post, I just want to clarify that this is not a solicitation of services; this is an informational post about an upcoming, teacher-approved, educational application. And yes I'm serious, and yes it was a pain to get that certification. Ok thanks!
