### 5/5 — The best

*2026-08-01, version 5.1*

Best scale ever made. Makes culling fish absolutely simple

### 1/5 — Bubba lite

*2026-07-30, version 5.0*

Had the scale for two months and every time I turn it on it will shut itself back off before i can weigh my fish… my ten dollar scale works better.  80 dollars for a scale that never works do better bubba last product I will buy from you..

### 5/5 — Must have

*2026-06-28, version 4.5*

If you tournament fish or simply love competition on your boat. This scale handles it all.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-06-02, version 4.3*

Stays on 3oz cannot clear the screen. Went through two sets of batteries, seems like you have to turn it off every time you use it. Going back to my bass pro shop scale.

### 3/5 — Promotion

*2026-05-26, version 4.3*

There was a giveaway, I click on it to enter then it all of a sudden ended. lol

### 3/5 — Buggy app

*2026-05-25, version 4.3*

Trying to add a catch from two days ago, it lets me select the correct day and time but when it saves it, changes it to current date and time. Doesn’t save the location either. I select the spot on the map but when I save it uses my current location. Lastly, I could not find a way to get help in the app but they present you a million ways to upgrade to pro. I like the scale but the app needs work.

### 3/5 — Still needs work

*2026-05-20, version 4.3*

I love the scale the app still needs work when you pay the money to be a member not all features work that is frustrating. It is not real user friendly it takes a lot to figure out some of the functions. They could make it better for sure in the app.

### 4/5 — Love the scale, like the app

*2026-05-18, version 4.3*

Sometimes the app doesn’t register a fish added to my bag when it shows to be connected. Otherwise, this is a great system for tracking your fish.

### 5/5 — Tn Bass

*2026-05-08, version 4.3*

Love the scale it makes culling so easy during a tournament.

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2026-04-29, version 4.3*

The app is trash go to purchase pro for my BUBBA SFS light in paid the subscription, but it don’t give me the pro mode will never buy another one of these scales. Waste of 75$ I did everything under the sun restarted everything but nothing updated it to 1.1.1 in still nothing trash.
