You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13, we will delete it.
Riffle provides tools to log fishing catches, record GPS trip routes, store photos, and review your fishing history. We provide the app on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We don't guarantee:
We strongly recommend exporting your data periodically using the CSV export in Settings as a personal backup.
Trip recording uses background location to keep logging your route when your phone is locked or you are using another app. Background location uses battery and cellular data; we recommend ending a trip from the Record tab when you finish fishing.
The photo import feature scans your photo library on your device using Apple's Vision framework to find photos that look like fish. The scan happens locally on your phone. Photos are only uploaded when you choose to save them to a catch.
Maps in Riffle are powered by Mapbox, with map data from OpenStreetMap and other open data providers. Full attribution is available in the app under Account → Map Attribution.
Some Riffle features rely on third-party services, including Firebase (Google), Mapbox, Apple WeatherKit, and Resend. Their availability and performance are outside our control. See our Privacy Policy for the full list and what data each one handles.

We do not claim ownership of your data and we do not use it for any other purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Riffle Labs LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of Riffle, including but not limited to loss of data, lost catches you forgot to log, or any reliance on GPS data for navigation in the field.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from use of Riffle will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.
Riffle is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't warrant that the app will be error-free or that GPS data will be accurate.
