### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-01-09*

Everything you need for your Alaska fishing trip.

### 1/5 — N0 2025 counts

*2025-07-09, version 9.0.52*

no longer works

### 1/5 — What’s the point

*2025-06-03*

There’s really nothing special about this app, not sure how people pay $10 a year for information that you can find within 10 seconds on google. It’s basically just a reg book with tides and fish counts. Cool idea, but should include a lot more information if you’re going to charge for it.

### 5/5 — Fish counts

*2024-08-09*

I used the app in the past before they made the upgrades and raised the price for the app. Even though it is more expensive that it use to be, I like being able to favorite the rivers I fish often and have fish counts in a timely manner. I will continue to pay and use this app.

### 1/5 — Great app but evidently it’s no longer supported by the creator

*2023-05-09*

I enjoyed using the app last year but unfortunately it appears that it’s no longer being updated . The regulations are from 2022 and the weather page has not changed since January 9 of 2023. Last year I would’ve given it five stars. I understand it takes a lot of work to keep this app up to date. I’m sorry to see it is no longer maintained.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2021-06-05*

I bought this app because it looked like it has a ton of useful information. Once I registered an account and tried to use it though- no dice. The app just cycles but won’t open. I sent a message for help but got no answer. I’d be happy to change my review if someone would give me some help!

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2021-06-04*

I just get the splash screen going back and forth between optimizing your experience and checking previous subscriptions.  I paid $1.99 for this to not work.  iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 14.6

### 5/5 — Must have for the experienced or novice angler

*2020-07-12*

Alaska Fishtopia is a must have app for the experienced angler, the novice and everyone in between. I’ve always loved the app but recent updates have made it faster and even more informative than before. Fishtopia has gathered all the information you need, regardless of your experience level, to enjoy a successful fishing trip for any fishable species in Alaska: up to date tide charts and fish counts, fishing techniques, necessary equipment, regulations, daily advisories and more. Especially helpful for the novice is the Fish Info section which takes the guesswork out of equipment purchases and offers tips and tricks for best fishing practices. For the experienced, you can efficiently target your favorite fishing spots and easily access all the data you need to plan your outing. Even if you’ve tried the app before, try it again, updates have vastly improved the speed and the developers are highly responsive and receptive should you need help or have a suggestion for improvement.

### 3/5 — Needs more fish counts

*2020-07-08, version 7.1.0*

Needs all of he Bristol bay region rivers for fish counts for guides

### 5/5 — Quickest and cleanest source for AK fishing

*2020-07-07, version 7.1.0*

All you need to plan your fishing destination and time in one place

### 9.2.18 — 2026-07-10

Thanks for being part of Alaska FishTopia!

What's new in this update:
