Can’t unsubscribe

Difficult to unsubscribe. I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription for almost an hour, and getting agitated. I’m not receiving any email link to cancel, I know I subscribed on the website because I installed the app afterwards. I tried to cancel earlier in the week but got nowhere in that.

My suggestion for the app is to make it possible to cancel subscription over the app itself and not by email. That would be great. I tried to cancel before the 7 free days and I couldn’t, so now I have an unwanted charge on my card.

Hi Jamie, we apologize for any frustration caused. We noticed your email request and have located the subscription linked to a different email, which we've now canceled. Please rest assured, we've carefully checked the charge you mentioned, and it appears it did not go through. Kindly check our reply in your inbox, and if you don’t see it, please also check your spam folder. We appreciate your feedback and are actively developing an in-app option for easier subscription management. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Not too bad

It does OK telling me you know what the chances of the fish biting you know whether it’s above average average or poor. I believe it would be a lot better if they could figure out a way that it could tell you what the best bait is for whatever species you’re fishing for. also, customer service is A+ plus every time that I’ve had an issue with something or a question. I have a guy named Mike. Write me back really quickly. It was very much help. It was appreciated.

Solid fishing app

Solid fishing app, I’ve been subscribed for about 7 months. The bite rate tracker is nice, but my favorite feature is seeing what species of fish are in the area and what baits/lures are a good match. I wish they had details on some of the smaller bodies of water in my area, but it’s understandable considering how hard that information probably is to get. It’s worth it if you are an semi-regular fisherman, but I wouldn’t recommend if you only go once or twice a year. Still, a really cool tool for the tool chest.

Fishing forecast

I decided to give Fishbox a try and analyze their predictions. I went fishing every weekend this summer, a total of 9 trips. The forecast is pretty accurate. Catching fish often depends on your skills and the lures you use, but when you know how to fish (and I do know), weather factors really make a difference.
Out of my 9 trips, 7 forecasts were spot on. However, one trip on August 11 didn't match up. The app showed "poor" conditions, but I had great success with light rain and good pecking that day. The forecast had changed an hour before my trip, I dont know maybe it was just a glitch.

Overall, I’m satisfied with the app and plan to use it to track my catches. I reached out to support, and Mike explained that saving catches will also save the weather info and give me a log of the best nibbles. I really hope these glitches won’t happen again, as I plan my trips carefully, and it’s important that the forecast stays reliable.

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience! We’re glad to hear that the forecast has been mostly accurate for your trips and that you're finding value in using the app. Kindly note that while our forecasts aim to be as precise as possible, factors like sudden weather changes can occasionally impact accuracy. We're continuously improving our algorithms to minimize such instances. As for the specific August 11 event, it’s possible that unexpected changes in weather conditions led to the forecast update just before your trip. We’ll certainly review this to ensure the app remains as reliable as possible. It’s great to hear that Mike was able to assist you with saving your catches. This feature can help you keep track of your fishing history, including weather and solunar conditions, to optimize your future trips. If you ever encounter any more issues or glitches, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us again. We value your feedback and are always here to help you get the most out of Fishbox!

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to write us your feedback. We are so happy to hear that you enjoy using our app. Please don’t hesitate reaching out to us at support@fishboxapp.com if you have any questions or concerns. Kind regards, Fishbox team.

It's a good app. Could make it a little better.

So, I’ve been using Fishbox for about a year now, and while it’s been useful, there are a few areas where it could definitely improve. The weather forecasting is fairly accurate, and I like how you can save different fishing spots, but I’ve noticed that the app could be a bit more user-friendly, especially when it comes to managing your saved spots. For example, adding filters or a way to categorize them would be a huge help.

I also think the community aspect could be enhanced—maybe a feature where you can share spots with friends or see where others have had success. The bug fixes in the latest update have made the app run smoother, which I appreciate, but I’m really hoping the developers focus on adding more customization options and perhaps some advanced features like fish activity predictions based on more localized data.

Overall, it’s a good app, and I’ve been happy to use it, but I’m holding out for some of these improvements before I fully commit to a long-term subscription. Thanks to the team for their hard work—I’m sure with a few more tweaks, this app could be a real powerhouse for anglers everywhere.
