  • Stop

    Love this game love the concept and the mechanics but good god PLEASE stop with the Ads I understand you just not have ads and I’m completely fine with that and would rather endure them than pay and I like how you can watch an ad for deeper depth or a bigger net OR even to double or triple your earning but when they come up EVERYTIME your done fishing an ad comes up is too much now I’ve just recently run into the problem that if it’s a certain add (the rise balloon game) I can’t even exit out of it using the x button at the top it will just continuously take me to a website where I can learn more about the game and it’s super annoying when I get that ad to triple my earnings but I have to exit and I don’t even know if I STILL getting the triple earnings. It completely ruins my fun over all becuase I am a very short tempered person if you are not you may enjoy this more than me and I recommend it but I know for a fact everyone doesn’t want to see an ad RIGHT after you go fishing

  • Too Many Ads

    It’s a great game, it really is. It’s good for filling time when I have nothing else to do, and it’s fun to upgrade and see what sea creature I’m going to catch.

    The only problem I have are the ads. One every once in a while would be fine, but every time I real in my catch, an ad pops up that I can’t close out of. Most apps at least give you an option to spend up the add after about 5 seconds, but not this one. If I wanted to watch an ad every time I teamed in a fish, I would tap the option to watch an add for double money.

    My only other problem is how easy it is to finish the game within a week of occasional playing. I personally wish you could go deeper than the exceeded limit, and have more than just 50 finish in your net. It would make the game last significantly longer before people finish it and delete it. Maybe there could be some extinct sea creatures to add to the deeper parts, or maybe some of myth?

  • Ads

    I entirely understand that free apps need ads in order to make money, but the amount of ads popping up is taking away from the game. After I’m done fishing I’m always asked if I want to double my catch by watching an ad. 90% of the time it will still play an ad when I click no but there will not be reward which becomes frustrating. The game is very fun and addicting, but stopping every time I make a catch to watch an ad makes me want to stop playing.
    I would recommend the creators to find more unique ways to include optional ad watching for boosts, and reduce the pop ups the best you can while still making money. Given a choice people will make the one you want more often, I’m more likely to watch an ad for a boost if I haven’t been previously made to watch multiple without reward.
    With less interruptions in between gameplay, more people are likely to enjoy this app and recommend it to others. The current amount of ads won’t be needed to make a living off the game.
    Overall the game has a beautiful design and is very addicting to play. Hopefully there can be adjustments in the future that continue to better it.
    Thank you

  • More Fish!

    I honestly kept seeing ads for this game and didn’t think I’d enjoy it, but then I decided to try it because I was bored one day and found it to be really fun. It didn’t take me too long to get every single fish (regular and special) and now I don’t know what I should do since there aren’t any more fish to collect for the trophy room. Could you please add more fish so that there’s more to be discovered?

    Another thing I’d like to add it that the ads pop up way too often. I like that we can watch adds to get more fish or go deeper or increase offline earnings, but almost every time I finished a round an ad would pop up. It gets very annoying when I’m trying to collect the money I earned and can’t because an ad pops up. Please adjust this and then add more fish into the game.

  • stop with the ads!!!!

    before i say what i entitled this to be about, i do want to say this is a very fun game, good mechanics, very addicting and good to play when youre bored and sitting around the house. ok, so lets address the elephant in the room- the ads. there are so many ads i just get sick of them. a lot of games can offer to double rewards and stuff like that and sometimes ill do it if i want more coins, points, etc, but if i say i dont want to watch an ad, I DONT WANT TO WATCH AN AD. seriously, it happens every time! EVERY TIME!! i know a lot of other popular reviews cover this same topic, and i could deal with it up till this point, and i had to write this. in my opinion, $3.99 is WAY too much to get rid of these things. no one wants them there unless they say they want to watch one for extra rewards!! again, i do love this game and i wish i could give it 5 stars but i cant because of the ads! youre probably sick of hearing this but you need to just make them a lot less frequent, at the least. i would still recommend the game though

  • Wait? Where’s my money?

    Now, the reason I put 4 starts is because of this response—-

    This game is awesome with tones of people joining everyday! But it’s just another hook on. At first when you enter the game, you are greeted to fish after some big money rewards, ads start rolling in. At first they are only at the bottom. But then it gets worse. When ever you catch a batch of fish and you collect you money an ad pops up and you haft to watch the video just to earn money that you fished for. This happens every time no matter what. So I turned off my WiFi. And I could fish peacefully without ads bothering me. But after a while you realize, that your not earning any money from each batch you grab. The game works off of ads, the only way you are making money off of fish is watching ads. You haft to watch an ad to actually get currency. If the game was not like this it would be a lot more fun. I recommend only patient people would hav fun. Or if you like ads. They only make money by ads. The game is fun when you have currency. Don’t download this game. Go play “Gangstar Vegas” by Gameloft! This game could be improved by not a lot of ads.

  • Relaxing yet addicting game!

    To make a long story short, I was introduced to this game after seeing my best friend and her cousin completely addicted to it. I was a little skeptical, but I tried it out on their phone after a brief demo of how it was played. Game play is simple- simply tap the screen and the hook will descend, leaving you nothing to do but swipe your finger across the screen to catch the fish. I have been playing this for a while now, and still find myself playing it a couple times a day. Yes, like other reviews you do see a lot of ads, mostly if you want to double your money to be able to dive deeper and earn more money while offline. While they don’t bother me too much, it’s a small price to pay rather than shelling out real money to upgrade. However, I do have a few suggestions I’d like to make to make the game a bit interesting. I’d like to go deeper, perhaps even encounter a Kraken or other big sea creatures. Maybe being able to unlock other fishing poles could help attract fish that are worth more or extremely rare. Also, maybe random things like treasure chests or a mermaid spotting would entice other player

  • Fantastic game corrupted by ads

    Tl;dr: The game is great, but too many ads and too expensive to remove them

    Every freemium game is going to have ads and microtransactions, it’s just a part of the business; many people choose not to spend money and advertisements are the only way to stay afloat, it’s understandable. However, Go Fish! takes it a little too far. In a game where play consists of short 5-6 second rounds, ads should be used sparingly due to the frequency of rounds in and average session. Every 2-3 rounds, the player is bombarded by 30-second ads. Considering the average round time and frequency between ads, the time spend playing is about equal to time spent watching ads. After my first few minutes of playing, I wanted to remove ads, so I thought I could pay an easy $.99 and resume unlimited play. However, because the advertiser blood money wasn’t enough for these devs, I would be forced to pay a comparatively ridiculous $3.99 just to play the game without being bothered by ads every 2 games. The game devs must either lessen ad frequency or lower the cost of removal, then I could wholeheartedly recommend this game.

  • Basic design is good but disappointing overall

    Core gameplay is cute and fun. Game has no depth (pun intended). The different fish have no description other than name, there is no customization, and no real strategy of any kind. This would be forgiveable since mobile games don’t usually offer depth but the gameplay is destroyed by ads. Even paying out of normal ads, you can still choose to watch an ad to double or triple the value of your catch and sometimes earn a free upgrade. The latter is extremely problematic. In order to get you to watch the ads, the time it takes to watch an ad is more efficient than playing the game. This results in a “game” that makes normal gameplay and progression impossible by using ads as an easy out until that’s the only way you can make any meaningful progress. This game will never be good without an overhaul, but it’s already made its money so I guess we’ll all move on.

  • HONEST

    Honestly, i love the game. It’s fun, entertaining, and honestly quite addicting. When i first downloaded the game, i thought i’d be uninstalling in within hours, but i kept it, and continued playing and next thing you know, i was thoroughly enjoying the game. My only complaint is the ads.. They are almost a dealbreaker for the game. I understand the purpose of ads, but I’ve played other games in the app store that do not have nearly as many pop up ads. The ads also aren’t simple pop up and close ads, they’re interactive ads that last 30+ seconds, and really takes you out of the entire gaming experience. There is an offer to pay $2.99 to have the ad free experience, but in my honest opinion; the game isn’t worth $2.99. I really hope they ease the ads just a bit! If not, I’ll unfortunately be uninstalling!
