Salmon Tracker

Track official Alaska salmon counts and receive local update alerts

Jeremey Tripp Sports & Health

Description

Salmon Tracker is an independent, unofficial Android client for selected public
Alaska Department of Fish and Game fish-count projects.

Follow Kenai, Kasilof, and Russian River salmon counts, compare the current run
with previous years, and receive a local notification when the official source
publishes or revises a count.

Features:

* Downloads counts directly from the public ADF&G website
* Stores counts and preferences locally on your device
* Checks for updates in the background with user-controlled timing
* Supports quiet hours, project muting, and notification thresholds
* Shows seven-day, 14-day, and season views
* Compares the current run with up to five prior years
* Contains no advertising, analytics, accounts, or tracking SDKs

The ADF&G source is public but is not a documented application API, so a
future source-format change may require an app update. Fish-passage counts are
historical context and do not guarantee fishing conditions or success.

What’s new (1.0.3)

Repairs background notifications after app upgrades by recreating stale
scheduled work and running a catch-up check. Settings now warns when Android
has not run background synchronization within the expected window.
