Horrible support, very buggy
I’ve been playing this game for probably a month. I’ve spent probably over $100 in it, and several times I get billed twice for one (1) in-app purchase. Their technical support is garbage. I wouldn’t doubt that they aren’t native English speakers, because their responses to my inquiry are vague and broken. I’ve asked for full refund of any of my purchases, and I received an auto response saying that I have to take it up to Apple support for a refund. They also asked for screenshots, but how difficult is it to find a glitch where I press a button, nothing happens, and my money is taken anyway? I have latest iPhone 11 with all software/apps updated. Sometimes the game even loads an older version of the game upon startup. I have to close the app and reopen it just to get it to work, very often. I wouldn’t trust this developer or this app. Also, if you look closely at all the other 5star reviews, they are single words or less than a sentence. I wouldn’t put it past this developer to have bots making fake positive reviews. Shame on you.

Great idea, poorly executed
UPDATE - Duel matchups are ridiculous and not being addressed by developers. Rampant sandbagging by getting 2 heavier fish and then giving up. Just got matched up with a player who had over 9800 duel wins to my measly 167. He quits (sandbags) and I get only 1 hook. Something is very wrong with this game.
As another reviewer stated, it’s a 5 star game in a 2 star wrapper. You will quickly see what I mean when you start playing. First, there is no real skill involved. The only skill is catching the fish and it will take you all of a couple times to master it. Then it’s boring. This is a strategy game. Don’t get me wrong, a strategy games can be fun too, but here is where the problem lies. The only way to compete is to spend real money. And a LOT of it. In game purchases are unreasonable. I do believe that if you like and play a game a lot, you should compensate the developers. They put a lot of time and money into the app and they should see some return on that investment. Problem is, it costs way too much and the game is rigged that way. Either you pay for legendary lures or you lose duels during events. Each legendary lure will cost you $20 in a pack. I’ve unlocked just 8 fishery’s so far and at a minimum to compete, I would’ve had to spend $160 and I’m only half way there. NOT worth it. Moving on to another game.

Cash grab
Game play is fun but this game is an absolute cash grab. Costs a lot of money to be competitive, special offers are embarrassing, timing of events and challenges put those in later time zones at a disadvantage. Love the concept but the greedy approach is shameful. Check developer response to all bad reviews, it’s basically the same. “I’m sorry, can you please give us more info.” How can it be more clear than the complaint. This is their standard response and never any resolution. Just endless back and forth. My advice, don’t get the game. But, like anything else, you have to try it for yourself to understand. Also, the game is glitchy as hell and crashes quite a bit.
On the 3rd day of a 4 day event where the event focuses on 3 fisheries, my fisheries were changed. I had spent cash and pearls on lures and equipment and they change my fisheries? The last day was for legendary fish. I don’t have lures for 2 of the 3 fish and one of the fish was for a fishery I had just opened the night before. How is this right? I have contacted the developers but they are so slow to respond I am confident this is not going to be resolved.

Game used to be great!
When I first downloaded the game it was great! Couple of updates were even better! Then the game took the dreaded turn for the people who pay as much as they can and the creators favor them for it! They got rid of quests at the locations so when you unlock a new location it’s pointless and then you have to hope you get lures in the free packs or you guessed it, you can purchase them. Along with getting rid of the quests to unlock new lures they brought in “wheel of their fortune” it’s just a waste of pearls cause all you’re going to get is some radars or lucks. I’d rather buy them with pearls I’ve got.
I really don’t see this game getting better but only geared towards people who will dump money into for little reward. Only reason for 2 stars was it does have decent graphics but it can be a little laggy. Hope the FC crew actually takes these reviews seriously and bring back the game we used to enjoy so much!

Ten Square Games Support, or lack of support
I needed to upgrade my phone, So the Apple tech backed everything up on my phone, and then replaced my phone. I have 17 game apps and only one didn’t transfer to my new phone with my game profile and data. It was Fishing Clash by Ten Square Games!!! I sent a case to Ten Square Games support. And the support experience was laughable really. After going around and around exchanging emails for weeks, they kept saying sorry we can’t help without your ID number and I can’t recover the ID number because I changed to a nickname. I sent them photos of these items, my account and name, my clan and clan name, both of which are active and I can still see from another new account it forced me up set up. Then I sent copies of various Apple receipts for purchases I made in the App. Then this support person Monika says I’m sorry, we can’t get your ID number from your profile nickname, or from these receipts, and we can’t get it from your active account that sitting out there!!! My advice to everyone is to not invest your time and money in a company or it’s games. The whole support experience simply a joke

Individual Money Grab Fishing
Fishing clash is a game that has a 5 star idea with a 2 star execution. The concept of the game is great. Based on a favorite past time of millions. It is set up in a clan style format where u can enjoy with friends. Just like real life fishing! This is where the money comes in. They sell in game up grades like everyone else. The problem is they are at unreasonable prices. For instance, $ 400 for one rod! Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice rod. Maybe not G Loomis quality. Then again it’s probably not fair to compare fake rods with real rods. Except in this case the real money price is comparable. Then the clan format. If u r a high level clan without real money upgrades u will find it almost impossible to contribute points to your clan. No points = No rewards. It does not matter if u had points during the event, only at the end. U can spend real time and not receive part of the prize. So why not call it what is “ Individual Money Grab Fishing”

Boring.
Unless you open your wallet wide, you are better off watching someone tie their shoelaces.

What it really needs
Basic Instructions, descriptions and tutorials...written for the Beginner. That’s what this game needs.
I’ve been playing this game for quite some time and there are Still things I don’t understand or things that just aren’t clear. It’s like the designers Assume too much. The different reels? Which one am I using and how to level them up? I just keep pressing buttons and hope for the best.
Even the notes in the inbox can be confusing. Developers: before pressing Send, find a non-player or someone new to the game and ask them to read it to see if it makes sense to them. I’m 50 years old and I admit, sometimes your messages leave me scratching my head, wondering, “What?”
A game suggestion: for the player vs player duel, is there a way to show me what special lures I have in addition to the little fish symbol when I’m selecting a lure? If I have 3.0% increased weight for one fish but only 1.5% for another, I want to go with the first one. But you can’t expect us to remember All of our special lures and their numbers...so could that be shown?
(I hope that makes sense...not sure if I’m using the correct terms)
I’d love to see if you could show a fish jump out of water while on my line!
I still give this game High Praise and will continue to play

Fun but EXPENSIVE
This game is really fun to play but has many flaws in it. They have screwed me over on buying pearls, told me to supply transaction statements, I did and they told me I received the goods when I didn’t. When you first start playing the game it’s great, but give it some time and you’ll see that the more money you spend, the worse you do. But it’s still the only way to move forward. If you want to succeed you’re going to need a mortgage payment every month to do so. But for the guy who doesn’t, you’ll have to put in HOURS of playing time every day to get anywhere. BEWARE, this game will make you broke if you let it! Here’s where they put the response at the bottom of this saying it’s free to play. Mark my words, you won’t get anywhere after the first few levels if you don’t start spending! I was a clan leader that made it to platinum level, trust me I know the ins and outs of this game. Don’t get me wrong, the graphics are great and it is fun to play, but just be cautious of what I’m telling you, PLEASE!!

False advertising in deals
So an event has come up where yet again you have to buy more lures to catch a special type of fish. So I purchased the lure that is said to be needed to catch this for the event to find you also need another part to make it possible to catch. You actually have to buy a rod as well. They didn’t state you actually need 2 parts to catch the new fish so the deal they offered me wasn’t so great. It was actually useless unless you buy something else. They don’t warn you about this and support doesn’t seem to help neither. They say it doesn’t cause inconvenience so case gets closed. Surely they can’t trick you into buying something that has no use to make you spend more? It’s like going to buy a new car to then find when you have purchased it it has no engine. Be very careful if you spend on this ap they seem to like tricking you out of your money!
