App Hangs

Every trip I try to record will not save. The app hangs every time. I have to force close the app and when it restarts, it ask if I want to save the trip. I save the trip and the fish count is not saved. Neither is the species. I use this app with the Bubba Pro scale. It could be so much better if they would fix these bugs.

Lots and lots of bugs

The scale is great and the app has a ton of potential. But it really needs some help fixing all the bugs, crashes and wrong info. It crashes constantly, tells you the wrong info, doesn’t count the total fish you caught properly. Needs a lot of fixing, especially when you have to pay for a subscription. If I’m paying for an app, then it should work like it should.

Response from developer

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. The issue was related to server-side complications and has since been resolved by our technical team. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we worked to rectify the situation. Should you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Has potential but misses the mark

The app could be great once bugs are worked out. Nearly every feature fails in some fashion. The private tournament mode failed to show other anglers in my app but mine name shows up on friends scales. Total fish catches always reads zero. Map layers don’t change, regardless of settings. It also freezes up and won’t allow me to review catches used the map feature. My posts disappear minutes after posting them.
It would also be nice if they included another option when sharing catches. Right now it allows public or private. There should be an option to share with friends only. Hopefully they continue to improve the app over time.
I also can’t log into the website with the app credentials. Trying the reset password feature accomplishes nothing.

Very disapointed

I thought I had read that I could assign a catch to people with me on my boat. You cant. You can add fish to generic catch but you cant record that catch to your wife, son, friend for example so that you would know in September who caught what while fishing with you . I guess the marketing ploy is that she needs her own scale at $300 and her own account at $70 a year to register her own catch while fishing with me on my boat. I may decide to return it and use my old rapalla. How hard would it be to have a few users on the same scale?

Best scale ever

100 percent accurate. Lithium battery is amazing.

** UPDATED REVIEW**

With the latest update to iPhone and the app itself, the app won’t stop crashing. Can’t scroll at all or it crashes. Useless app at this point.

I love my new smart scale

Awesome technology used for us the angler’s. Works perfectly!!!!

Bubba Scale

Great scale and great company. Phenomenal customer service. Customer for life!!!

BEST SCALE

I would recommend this scale hands down to EVERYONE

Buggy

I did have issue in tournament mode when I had the limit set to 5. Slot 1 because non functional. Buggy. The app is riddled with bugs. 1. The auto logging is worthless. I started a trip today, after software/firmware update and right before hitting 30 fish, it stopped working. Battery still full. I opened the app and was not able to “resume” the trip. All my catch count and trip data was gone. Set back to zero. My route started over too. 2. The catch count in trips is not in sync with the catches tab. It is unusable as is. How many fish caught on my trip? I don’t know. The developers are probably not anglers. These should be easy fixes. The app is basically useless as is.
