• Answer:

  I don't know how well it works for fresh water but I have used a solunar calendar (which is built into the app you asked about) for saltwater fishing, and it can sometimes help find better days and times to be surf-fishing, fishing in bays and harbors, but it is less helpful when fishing offshore. If you think about it, tides and currents depend in large part on the sun and the moon, so a calendar that pinpoints when water movement will be greatest and the water movement coincides with sunrise/sunset, etc, can help predict times when fish will be more active and feeding. Tidal currents can be quite strong along beaches and in bays and harbors, at jetty points, etc. However, it is just one factor out of many: wind, waves, swell, water mixing due to currents, sun vs cloud cover, rain, air pressure, sea surface temp, water temp at depth, time of year, fish migration/breeding patterns, algae growth, available forage, etc. For the kind of ocean fishing I do, it is information of interest, so I like knowing what it says, but it is never enough by itself to determine a "good day to go fishing".
