Golden Fish functions as a dedicated fishing log with organized data entry. When you land a fish through the ice, photograph it using the app interface, then record exact measurements through the integrated weight input that accepts kilograms to one decimal place and length recording in centimeters. The photo section displays a fish icon until you tap to launch your camera or choose from existing images.
The species classification framework provides three primary groups for visual sorting: Blue category fish including Arctic Salmon and Deep Water Pike, Red varieties like Red Fire Carp, and Gold types such as Blue River Trout. Each selection button shows a matching fish outline in its group color, enabling rapid identification even during freezing conditions when efficiency matters most.
Spot documentation extends past basic GPS data. You manually record the fishing location name such as Arctic Lake, Northern River, Mountain Lake, or Deep Lake, then include multiline descriptive entries covering weather patterns, water temperature readings, ice depth, fishing time, bait selection, and personal observations. This creates a searchable historical record where you can subsequently filter by conditions to determine the most successful fishing scenarios for upcoming expeditions.
The New Catch interface displays a detailed form beginning with a large tap-to-capture area featuring a placeholder fish graphic. Underneath, you complete the fish name field with species details, choose type through three color-marked buttons displaying Blue, Red, or Gold fish graphics, then input weight in kilograms with decimal accuracy and length in centimeters. A location field records the fishing spot name, followed by a multiline notes section for comprehensive condition and observation details.
Each recorded catch gets a quality score from 1 to 6 stars by selecting the correct star count beneath the notes field. The app monitors your total coin balance shown in the top navigation within a metallic blue hexagonal container with a gold coin graphic displaying 380 coins in the reference design. Superior star ratings on larger fish grant more coins, generating progression incentive as you challenge your own achievements.
The My Catches interface presents all recorded fish entries in bright cyan-blue cards with metallic silver outlines. Each card displays the fish name in golden yellow script typeface, location in white italic text, capture date formatted as 18 Feb 2026, star rating display with filled gold and empty gray stars, and a circular red-orange deletion button with white X graphic positioned at the far right for entry elimination when desired.
The Levels interface presents your sorted catches beneath the golden cursive title Top Catches by Weight. Four horizontal cards display rank position in yellow text, fish graphic in species color, fish name and location in white text, and six-star rating on the right. The ranking automatically organizes entries by logged weight in descending sequence, allowing you to immediately identify which catches earned your personal record status.
My Profile interface centers your avatar within concentric golden, blue, and orange circles above your editable username shown in white cursive script. An Edit Name button in bright cyan with metallic outline appears below. The statistics bar displays a yellow star graphic with Catches count on the left and your coin total of 380 with Coins label on the right. Underneath, Best Catches section presents your top three fish with rank numbers, graphics, names, and star ratings in the familiar blue card format.
Each interface maintains the unified arctic aesthetic: dark navy blue night sky backdrop with scattered white star points, white icy cliff structures running along both screen sides with crystalline texture, and a luminous ice hole at the bottom center revealing dark blue water with a bright green-cyan radial glow and concentric ripple patterns. This immersive visual treatment generates the sensation of standing at an authentic frozen lake fishing location throughout your app usage.
