Waste of time

Downloaded app and from the start the app does not work in dark mode. Tried registering for account and none of the text i typed was viewable.

Managed to get signed up and now cant get logged in as i have not verified my email address and not reveived an email to verify.

Tried logging in with facebook which seemed to work however the email address used for facebook is the same as the account email i tried registering with.

Does not give me much hope when the basics dont work.

Thank you for your feedback. We have checked our email verification system around the time you signed up and cannot find any users that were not verified. If you have now signed up and want to provide us with more feedback please email help@fishbuddy.uk

Great idea

Hopefully this grows in the future

Thank you for your positive feedback. We have lots of plans to develop the App during 2021.

Useless

Common sea species aren’t listed and no way to add them. Doesn’t even have Chesil beach (or parts of) or harbours as location, again, no way to add them.

Tried posting a catch of a Ballan Wrasse from Stone Pier, Weymouth. Species didn’t exist, location didn’t exist, so presumably that’s why “Post” didn’t post it.

An app like this (that actually worked) would be great for LRF species hunting if you could add or create new species.

Thank you for your feedback. Because we have to provide a large amount of information and pics about each Fish Breed we have to add them. But what we ask is for our users to tell us what they think needs adding and them we will do it. There is a way for you to tell us via the App which Fishing Venue you would like adding. We will then get images and full info before adding it to the Directory and the App. Alternatively when you Log a Catch it will record your actual position. If you would like to email us help@fishbuddy.uk we can go through the Venues you would like adding.

The app needs a lot of work.

I love the concept of the app but at least in my experience I had some major difficulty using it. I download the app and then when I was setting up my profile. None of the info was showing. It was like it had a white background and white lettering. I could tell there where spaces to type but I couldn’t see if I had typed something or what info that line needed.

Fantastic app!!

Brilliant app, all of the closest fisheries at my fingertips! Easy to navigate and find everything I need....I will be recommending this to my fellow fishermen/women
