App Questions

Common questions about our digital game book app.

Ambulo is for iOS users only. We are currently developing our Android platform.

Yes. Your records are yours alone. Nothing is shared, broadcast, or made public unless you choose otherwise. We may look to develop a social element to follow friends and other fieldsports enthusiasts at a later date.

Ambulo is free for now, we are looking at adding subscription tiers. Make the most of it while it's free!

Hunts, driven shoots, deer stalking, walked-up days, and fishing trips, both game and coarse. Each entry captures the date, location, conditions, bag or catch, and your own reflections. You can also log firearms, ammunition, tackle, and gear in your kit bag.

Hunters, shots, and anglers who value the discipline of keeping a proper record. For those who stalk deer, stand at a driven shoot, work a beat on the river, or wait for the dawn flight. If you believe some things are worth writing down, Ambulo was built for you.

No. Ambulo is a personal journal for now. There are no followers, no feeds, and no profiles to browse. Your ledger is yours. If a social feed becomes a feature request form users, we can look to build this.

A digital game book and fieldsports journal. Ambulo lets you document your outings, log your firearms and tackle, and build a personal record of your pursuits, whether you hunt, shoot, or fish.

Ambulo is invite-only. To get access you need to get referred by a current user of Ambulo or join our waitlist.

Some features were omitted with intention.

  • No GPS tracking. Your position is not our concern.
  • No real-time sharing. Your adventures are not a broadcast
  • No device pairings. Your phone is sufficient.

We removed everything that did not serve the core purpose: a beautifully simple way to document your fieldsports.

Permit Questions

Common questions about our temporary firearms permits.

Some hunting and sporting competition shoots ask outfitters and hosts to organise their guests temporary firearms permits. Your outfitter will be able to do this on your behalf through the Ambulo platform or you can do it yourself.

For outfitters and hosts organising permits for their guests, please contact tristan@ambulo.co to streamline this process.

To amend your application and your permit, before you travel, you need to contact us at least 14 days before your departure date. If you need to make amends to your permit, please email tristan@ambulo.co

Generally, you do not need to buy an additional permit for your stopover. However, some countries may require you to buy an additional permit. This is generally on a country by country basis. For example, if you are travelling to Poland, but flying to Germany and driving across, you may have to buy a permit for Germany, depending on the location.

Permit costs vary depending on the country you are travelling to. Once our permits go live you will be able to see a full pricing break down. We have priced this to be roughly the same price as hiring a rifle or shotgun at your final destination. Nothing beats taking your own equipment across!

At the moment, extending the length of your permit duration is not possible. We advise that you ask your host to either add a buffer time frame to the end of your trip in case you would like to stay longer. You can of course come back earlier if needs be but the duration and date of validity for your permit is linked to your arrival and departure dates you set out in your application.

For business and partnerships, please contact tristan@ambulo.co

At the moment, Ambulo only provides permits for the destination you are hunting within. If you are driving to your destination and crossing countries, you will have to follow each countries firearm rules and restrictions. This generally means you will need a permit for each country, if you are driving through Europe, for example.

We do not offer refunds at the moment, but is something we are working on. The reason we do not offer refunds is based on the agreements set by consulates, embassies and police forces of the destination countries.

You can either scan your Firearms License, Passport and letter of invitation through a traditional printer scanner, or use an application like Turbo Scan.

If you are using an app that converts photos into a scanned file, ensure all areas of the pages you scan are clear and legible and are saved as a PDF. For people with a UK firearms license, where your certificate contains multiple pages, ensure all pages are photographed and collated into one PDF.
