Also very frequent add pop ups wanting you to sign up for membership. ### 4/5 — Beware, 7 days free *2025-11-29, version 10.14.0* App is good, does everything advertised.. However, don’t expect to keep it 6 days and cancel it like a trial, they’ll charge you anyway.. 5 star app, 1 star description. ### 3/5 — Average fishing app *2025-10-17, version 10.13.0* Just another average fishing app that requires premium to use any of the good features, I’d rather stare at ads on the website than be limited by in app purchases, plus the water color is never right: it just says light stained 1-2’. ### 2/5 — Keeps shutting down!!!! *2024-12-26, version 8.8.1* App shuts down whenever I try to change or add location. Please fix…!!! ### 2/5 — It’s a bit off *2024-12-01, version 8.8.1* It says the water temperature is 84 when it’s 10 degrees outside and in winter. It also says it late summer. ### 2/5 — Good at First *2024-10-31* Well this started out being pretty good. However I started to notice that the daily tips were repeating. Paying for the additional bait choices and tips were one of the reasons I signed up for the full service. At first it was months apart that some piece of advice was repeated. Now it is showing up more often and closer together. I wish it would also stick to fishing technique and lure selection. Boat and trailer advice might be helpful to some. Start an app called boat force and double up on the revenue. Keep bass force about fishing and let’s get some fresh information on here. Otherwise I don’t see why this should cost more than $5 a year for what you get. ### 4/5 — Good *2024-08-14, version 8.6.0* Great tips for baits and conditions and it’s always good to get advice from the best ### 3/5 — Bass force please fix this team up with other apps *2024-07-28, version 8.6.0* I love it I just can’t find the lures I need without signing up and also I can’t mark my own ponds like the one down the street from me ### 3/5 — Did it worked???? *2024-07-20, version 8.6.0* Not accurate in my area non of recommended lures would work, putting a little bit of time I’ve found better lures according to every situation. ### 5/5 — I like it *2024-07-05, version 8.5.1* Great app I like it ### 5/5 — Bass force *2024-06-28, version 8.5.1* This app is so good every time I look at it the day I go fishing I go use the bait it says and I catch at least 4 to 6 bass. ### 5/5 — Bass Force *2024-06-19, version 8.5.1* I find this app imformative. Different types of structure, weather and time of year can be typed in and pros give their opinions on what baits to use. Very helpful! ### 5/5 — Kinda fun *2024-05-31, version 8.5.1* Interesting to see what these guys would use on my lake ### 5/5 — Wow *2024-05-20, version 8.5.1* Was hesitant, put in all the conditions gave it a couple casts and gave up… a few hours later tried it again and covered some water and really worked the bait and BAM 2 bass back to back decently sized! Impressed and sold after my 7 day free trial definitely just have faith in the process, cover some water, give it some time and trust the pro picks!! cheers ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — They make it unusable without paying *2025-10-19, version 10.13.0* The app lets use barely anything with out paying. It also has 5 pop up’s to pay for something within 5 minutes of downloading the app ### 1/5 — Scan *2025-08-13, version 10.9.0* Not free as advertised. You can google this information and find it all for free. ### 1/5 — Free *2025-03-18, version 10.0.3* Smh ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-11-12, version 8.8.0* At this point and time this app doesn’t work at all anytime you try to update any part of the app it crashes, if you try to import the weather the app crashes! I would like my money back this is ridiculous! Horrible app at a premium price ### 1/5 — Not worth the cost to purchase *2024-10-26, version 8.8.0* The app is not that great there’s really no guide on how to utilize the app. You have to input the data for the lake the day that you’re there, meaning temperature, water, temperature, watercolor, light conditions etc. Then basically it’s a guesstimated algorithm on what the professionals might use on this lake.. your odds of catching fish or just as good as using your own trade and true methods if you’re an experienced angular. ### 1/5 — Sad *2024-07-04, version 8.5.1* I was excited to give this app a try, but for some reason I can’t get past the first step of even selecting my location. Everytime I go to the map, set my pin and press save changed the app either closes out or just nothing happens. Hope to hear back from the developers on this. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Your nuts *2024-02-28, version 8.2.0* I’m not gonna pay that kind of money just for you to tell me what kind of lure you might use and might catch a fish on. I got all the lures in my box. I’ll just randomly throw lures out eventually I’ll catch fish might be a little bit more time-consuming, but that’s what fishing about enjoying time ### 1/5 — Bill *2024-01-31, version 8.2.0* I. Started to get this app cause Jason Christy said app was freee but when I started to read about it I found it was only free for first 7 days. I don’t need another app that I have to pay for. Might be great if weather was decent enough to get on lake to try app out but not going to bust ice on my lake in January! No thanks! ### 1/5 — App will not work *2023-08-15, version 8.1.1* This app worked fine until the last update. Now it will not go past the initial screen. Will not open up. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2023-05-14, version 8.0.2* Can’t even open the app after installing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bass Fishing App *2026-01-14, version 10.15.0* Best bass fishing app. ### 5/5 — Hipp Replacement for Frog *2025-11-10, version 10.14.0* Well done ### 5/5 — Great *2025-10-16, version 10.12.0* Great app take advice but do your own research And piggyback off the app ### 5/5 — This App is awesome *2025-10-07, version 10.11.0* It tells you everything you need to know and the best part is ITS FOR FREE it tells you how pros would fish a certain type of structure what they would throw what the water conditions are the bait fish which bank the wind is blowing on as a fisherman who has won over 4,000 in fishing this is a good app every fisherman should try ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-03-22, version 10.0.3* Tells me exactly what to use when I need to!!! perfect for not knowing what to use ### 5/5 — It’s awesome *2025-02-28, version 9.2.0* Extremely helpful, it has helped me catch a ton of fish . ### 5/5 — awesome app *2025-02-07, version 9.0.2* Having moved recently, I am stuck with knowing zilch about nearby fishing spots. This app answers all my questions! Don’t waste your time figuring out where to go, the conditions, and the lure selection. Plus, other customized pertinent details. It gives you the confidence that makes you feel you have fished there all your life. ### 5/5 — Not good for me *2024-12-02, version 8.8.1* I fish in the Salinas California area and the suggested baits don’t work for me ### 5/5 — Not Working Properly *2024-11-12, version 8.8.0* Work fine until now. Can’t change date or lake location and other things. ### 5/5 — Lure luck *2024-09-27, version 8.8.0* I love using the lures recommended by by the pros. Always on point and tagging bass on every lure thats been recommended this app is awesome --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
