Location: Chicago | Looking for some feedback on which weather/radar app most like and use. In addition which app is best for solunar times. Search didn't yield much only that the app or website did not closely resemble John Alden Knight tables |

Location: Maine Township, MN | Haven't tried it yet, but the ads in MH mag make the Musky Hunter app look pretty sweet. Anyone tried it yet? |

| The musky hunter app looks pretty sweet but the reviews on the app store are pretty bad. It seems like it needs some tweaking and then it will be a great app. |

| I have the musky hunter app right now, and it is not the greatest so far. I think a new 'updated' version that fixed some bugs came out, so I will have to update it. The moon/sunrise graphs they have are nice, although it would be nice if you just had a summarized list also of times and dates. It has been difficult to change lakes (bug in typing in your lake) and the fish view piece of the app appears to be pretty worthless (although it is a cool idea in thought).
I think those guys will get he app up to par, but it still needs a few changes. Currently I just use my AccuWeather app. |

Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | Hands down best current radar. "RadarNow"
The weather one I use and like a lot is "My-Cast Weather"
Also get the "Time2Fish" app. Shows your solunar periods as well as over head and under foot. Great app, really helps in choosing fishing times and locations based on conditions and moon phase.
I have heard bad things about the Muskyhunter app. go the other way. get the free ones. they work. At least the ones I have do |

Location: oswego, il | I have time to fish light and solunarcast. solunarcast picks majors based on overhead and underfoot while time to fish might pick those and rise, set as their major. ttfish picks a major and a minor during the day, solunarcast can pick two of each per day. they often dont agree in what is the best time. I have the apps next to each other on my phone, no fights but the smell of booze is pretty strong in the morning.

Time2Fish should have both solar and lunar phases. It does sun rise and set along with moon rise and set. then the app does the math for you and gives you the over head and under foot. Is it always correct? I'm sure not, but it's darn close 90% of the time. I had solunarcast for a long time, but I always seemed to be just a few steps behind the fish. I seem to be more on top now with Time2Fish

Location: Plymouth, MN | I also have the musky hunter app. The bugs were terrible when it first came out. They have updated it a few times now and it is better but still pretty slow to load and crashes at times. Moon info is great but only shows today's events. Would be great if it showed a monthly chart or something. The one thing I really like is it has a musky activity timeline which combines moon events, local weather, and sunrise/sunset to predicts activity spikes. I think some other apps have that same concept. It's nice to have all the info in one app rather than combing through multiple apps. |

Location: Cedar Falls, IA. | Anybody know how to turn the notifications feature off on the MH app? Drives me nuts it'll be 10 at night and my phone starts going off for peak activity. I haven't even used it really, a lot of bugs trying to get it to work on my S4. |

Location: Plymouth, MN | get to the "manage apps" page on your phone (I do this from the homepage by hitting the menu button on the bottom left but your phone may be different) and find the musky hunter app. Click on it and there should be an option to turn notifications off. |

| Hands down the best weather app is WeatherBug. They will send you notifications when severe weather alerts are issued for your current location. Their best feature is called 'Spark' which tells you instantly how close in miles the nearest lightning strike is from your current location. |
