The Icy Red Fish operates on a comprehensive 20-item equipment tracking system with real-time readiness calculation. The app maintains a persistent checklist where each item contributes to your overall preparation percentage, displayed as a circular progress indicator that updates from 0% to 100% as you verify each piece of gear. The search functionality filters through Essential category items and beyond, letting you quickly locate specific equipment like fishing rods, tackle boxes, or safety gear without scrolling through the entire inventory.
Safety architecture centers on seven fundamental ice fishing rules delivered through a dedicated screen with individual cards for each guideline. The system enforces critical protocols: life jacket requirements, weather condition verification before departure, location communication mandates, first aid kit presence, appropriate clothing standards, hydration planning, and slippery surface awareness. Each rule card presents information in digestible chunks with high-contrast lavender backgrounds ensuring readability in bright outdoor conditions when reviewing before heading out.
Navigation structure uses a persistent bottom tab bar with four main sections identified by distinct icons: Equipment with checkmark circle, Safety with warning triangle, Tips with information symbol, and Weather with star indicator. The active section highlights in darker gray while maintaining visual consistency across all screens. The 2.50 MB package size is achieved through efficient data storage and minimal library dependencies, making downloads fast even on slower connections and leaving ample device storage for photos from your catches.
