Fish Pass
Project summary
Simplifying exploration and purchase of fishing beats
The Fish Pass app is offered by Westcountry Rivers Trust and is based upon the successful Westcountry Angling Passport (WAP) scheme. It's used to browse the beats and purchase tokens in advance for fishing in surroundings across Devon and Cornwall.
Fishing enthusiasts can scan a code at the river to convert their tokens into a day ticket. They can also scan valid paper tokens and add them to their account.
The MVP version of the app needed a revamp. We worked with the team to improve the UI/UX of the app, develop new features and make the code and overall app experience intuitive.
Fish pass The app is managed by Westcountry Rivers Trust that aims to preserve, protect and improve Westcountry rivers, streams, brooks, estuaries and wetlands.
