PrimetimeHunt & Fish
Better days outdoors
Primetime shows you which days and hours are worth getting out. It keeps your spots, trails and logs on your phone, then gets out of the way.
Time off is short and the best mornings go fast. Primetime puts the moon, the sun and the forecast in one place, so you know when to go before you leave the house.
See the whole month at a glance, with each day shaded from poor to best. Tap a day to see its major and minor periods, sunrise and sunset, moon phase, moonrise and moonset.
A great moon doesn't help much in a 100 km/h gale. The Primetime score starts with the solunar rating and adjusts it for the actual forecast, so you can tell a good day from a good-on-paper day.
How Saturday, October 24 scored
| Moon phase | Strongest around the new and full moon |
|---|---|
| Sunrise and sunset | Extra weight when a period lines up with first or last light |
| Wind | Calm days score up. Strong wind and gusts score down |
| Rain and snow | Storms, heavy rain, sleet and freezing rain lower it |
| Temperature | Extreme cold or heat lowers it |
| Pressure | A steady barometer adds a little |
We're building a version of the score that uses machine learning to weigh more factors, such as wind direction, how fast the pressure is changing, the time of season, species movements, trail camera records and biological data sources.
It's a planning aid. It can't promise a bull or a bite.
Download your area before you go. When the bars drop to zero, your map, pins, GPS, routes and notes keep working.
Download the satellite map before you leave. Without signal, your map, pins, range finder, compass and GPS keep working. With signal, add contours to read the ridges.
A 10-day forecast from Apple Weather with wind, gusts, rain and dew point. Forecasts are saved for when you lose signal.
See which way the barometer is heading. Tap the radar to play the last 30 minutes and the next six hours across Canada and the U.S.
Switch to Fish and lakes show depth contours in feet or metres. Depths load online, so scout the drop-offs and humps before you lose signal.
Tap Start hunt and Primetime records your route and waypoints. Lock your phone and put it away. It keeps tracking until you finish.
Mark stands, blinds, cameras, trails and bedding. Save each property as its own map. Track a blood trail and pick it up later.
Notes, photos and the spot, with that day's rating, sun, moon and weather saved automatically. Learn what works on your ground.
See the area and size before you download, and choose how much detail to keep. Saved maps stay on your phone until you delete them.
You don't share your best spot with strangers, and your app shouldn't either. Primetime has no account, no ad trackers and no company database of your hunts.
Never your pins, routes or logs. We don't sell data or use advertising trackers. This website doesn't use cookies, analytics or third-party fonts either.
You shouldn't have to buy a new solunar calendar every season or pay rent on an app to see your own spots. Primetime doesn't lock your records behind a renewal, and there's no account to cancel.
| Compared | Typical subscription apps | Primetime |
|---|---|---|
| Yearly subscription | Yes, renewed every year | No |
| Account to sign up for | Required | None |
| Where your pins and routes live | Synced to their servers | Only on your phone |
Solunar periods are based on where the moon is: overhead, underfoot, rising and setting. Many hunters and anglers see more activity around them, especially when they overlap sunrise or sunset. Primetime calculates them for your exact location.
The solunar rating is based on the moon and sun. The Primetime score starts there and adjusts for the forecast: wind, rain or snow, extreme temperatures and pressure. Because it needs a forecast, it covers the next 10 days.
Yes. Solunar times, pins, logs and journeys are all stored on your phone, and GPS works without signal. Download map areas before you go. Contour and depth layers, new forecasts, radar and map searches need a connection.
No. There's nothing to sign up for. Because your records only live on your phone, keep your phone backed up. We can't recover records we never had.
