No on both counts. ReelCaster does not have an app in the App Store or Google Play, and we never ask you to download anything. ReelCaster runs in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer at www.reelcaster.com. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app. ReelCaster is not related to Reelcast or any other app with a similar name. If something calls itself a ReelCaster app or asks for a download, it is not us.

Weather and marine inputs come from Open-Meteo and the Canadian Hydrographic Service, the same sources marine professionals use.
