The app

Everything in The Spread, in one place.

These are features in the app today — not a roadmap, and not marketing numbers.

A smart hunt log

Log a hunt and weather fills itself in: wind, temperature and pressure. You can edit any value. Moon phase is set from the hunt's date and time.

Hunt list in The Spread, with example hunts

Every kind of hunt

Stats and patterns

Patterns, Best Spot and Outlook all come from your own hunt log — the conditions you hunted in, and how those hunts went.

50 state Duck Tales rooms

Every state has its own Duck Tales room. There is also a Testers room, open to every signed-in hunter, for bugs, ideas, and feedback.

Friends, DMs, and Share with friend

Add friends, send DMs, and share a hunt with one tap — Share with friend. Exact GPS goes along only if you choose to include it.

Photos in hunt notes and chat

Add photos to a hunt's field notes and to chat. Every photo is re-encoded so GPS and other location data are stripped.

About me profile builder

Build a hunter profile you control, and share as much or as little as you want.

Works offline, on your Home Screen

The app works offline in the field. Add The Spread to your Home Screen and it opens like any other app.

Push alerts

Get a push alert when a friend messages you or sends a friend request. On iPhone, alerts work in the installed Home Screen app.

Private by default

Your log lives on your phone. Nothing is uploaded until you tap Share. No ads, no trackers.
