This is the ultimate all-in-one hunting app - it manages all your hunting memories plus it allows you to research and plan your hunts. You can record your hunts, trophies, observations, and hunting stand locations. Adding the latest shot or observation is done within seconds. Whether your focus is on planning your next hunt based on weather and solunar periods, keeping a trophy gallery and hunting journal, or statistics and research of your past hunts, this is the application you need.

Along with the basic facts like game type, time, amount, weight, and trophy score you can add additional information.
- Position - Your current GPS position can be added. You can view and edit this location on a live map.
- Picture - You can attach a picture of your trophy so it keeps your memories fresh.
- Weather - General condition, temperature, wind direction, and moon phase.
- Story - This offers the possibility to add a story about the hunt.
- Location - Record your hunting area, detailed location, and hunting stand.

+ Customization. Whether big game, small game, or waterfowl - you can customize the attributes to your needs via configuration.

+ Observations. Observations support the attributes game type, amount, age, description, and hunting area including picture. For every event, you can add event data such as time, location, GPS position, and weather - saving you from repeating common information. Using observations and assigning pictures is ideal for trail cam owners wanting to track down behavior and visits of individual game.

+ Trophy Management. When you want to get a printout of your trophies, the application will assist you to store it, manage it, and email it! You can easily export all harvest information in the highly compatible CSV (comma separated values) file format and perform your custom statistics on your data.

+ Research and Planning. Did you dream of documenting and planning your hunting stands in your hunting area? Do you want to record where you placed a trail camera or a tree stand? This application allows you to visually lay out your hunting area with symbols of your stands that you can place on the map and give a name. If you want to share your hunting stand locations with a friend, export and e-mail him the locations.

+ GPS. If you get lost while afield, you can use the application to show your exact position in relation to your hunting stands, allowing you to navigate to your spot.

+ Weather and Solunar Periods. Check the weather forecasts, wind and temperature, moon phase, sunrise and sunset. With this research, you can map it to your locations and stands, which are suitable for this hunting day.

+ Simplify Your Hunting. iHunt Journal simplifies your hunting experience. It gives you all information about weather, sun, moon, solunar periods, including a 4 day forecast in one view. And, it suggests the best hunting locations based on the wind direction.

+ Advantages. iHunt Journals’ many advantages include:
Experience – Created by hunters for hunters.
Efficiency - Whether game type, hunting device, or location, after the first entries the application learns them and offers them for future selection. 
Openness - CSV export of harvests allows you maximum flexibility and creativity doing your own statistics and research.
Extensibility - In-App purchase modules: Scouting, Food Plot Management, Finances, Harvest Planning, Moon Brightness, Spreadsheet Export, Venison management, and Export/Import/Dropbox Exchange.

I appreciate feedback via the app store here. For improvement wishes please send me an e-mail so that I can develop the application according your needs.

Pros and cons of iHunt Journal app for iPhone and iPad

iHunt Journal app good for

I have to admit that the interface takes some getting used to but it is worth the investment in time. Very handy application and the ability to import the borders of your hunting property from google earth is a very, very nice touch. I will be using this app a lot this season.
This is the finest hunting app available today. It is for hunters by hunters. Keeps your journal and a record of your harvests. Helps you record observations afield and plan future hunts. I highly recommend this app. It is the last app you will ever need to buy.
This is a very useful app, if u like to keep a record of what you see and what u take while hunting. Very intuitive and well thought out.
This application has been very helpful to my family as we own a 1200 acre piece of property where we do the majority of our hunting. With 30 plus stands and shooting houses it helps us keep up with the locations and navigate to them! Often when the season is over it can be hard to remember where the lock-on stands and ladder stands are that need to be taken down. I dont want to lose another expensive piece of equipment. EVERY YEAR stand locations change, but with this application we NO LONGER have to plot out stand locations on a new ariel map. What a time saver!!! The response time of the developer is great and he has many things in store for improving the application. Four things weve discussed and on my wish list are: defining property lines, sharing property maps with non-app users, and emailing driving directions to guests since our land is located in a remote area, and intelligent stand selection programming based on weather conditions such as moon phases and wind. Awesome!!!
This app just keeps getting better!!! Well worth the money!! Has everything that I wanted in a hunting app!!!
Nice app with good feature and easy to use. The mapping feature is excellent and the ability to bring in overlays from Google maps allow me to mark up my hunting area and plan my hunt.

Some bad moments

Loved the app. Had entire hunting season journaled and all my stands marked. But then I updated my ipad and the app was gone. When I reinstalled from backup. The data was all gone. Lost the whole year and no way I am going to put in the effort to do that again when an update will risk wiping it out again. Needs a cloud backup, I mean seriously, my wifes recipe has that.... One star until effective back up is offered
Save your money. I just wanted an app to record my deer observations and kills. This one disappoints. Its way too complicated to use and is really no better than the stock Notes app. Beware.
I was looking for an app that would cover the gamut on logging, tracking, and remembering my hunts and I was delighted to find that this app could do it. The problem is that $8.99 is the starting price to get the all the functions available you will need to spend another ~ $20 + of in app purchases. Thats unacceptable.
