### 1/5 — Items get removed when game gets deleted

*2026-08-14, version 3.1.2*

Very disappointed that they don’t tell you that your items will get removed once the game is uninstalled. Spent a lot just to loose it all

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2026-04-17, version 3.1.2*

It’s a good game but needs a big update with some new stuff

### 1/5 — Male male

*2026-03-07, version 3.1.2*

È più di un anno ormai che non riesco più ad accedere all’app. Avevo sbloccato dei contenuti a pagamento, pertanto mi sento oltremodo preso in giro. Spero che gli sviluppatori possano leggere questa mia recensione ed intervenire.

### 2/5 — NEEDS UPDATE

*2025-11-22, version 3.1.2*

Great game,but needs update!

### 1/5 — No further updates

*2025-10-26, version 3.1.2*

It was a great game a couple of years ago. I paid a good amount of money and there are no further updates. Disappointing

### 5/5 — ScorpioCFS

*2025-10-13, version 3.1.2*

Dear developers,

I would like to thank you for creating this amazing game. I truly love it and have been playing it for many years — practically since the very beginning and those first memorable moments.

However, the game has started to become a bit frustrating at times. It occasionally crashes, especially in multiplayer mode — whenever I get a bite, the game tends to crash every time.

Some players have also reported that they don’t receive coins or XP after catching fish. Another issue that could use attention is the strike waiting time. For some users, it takes more than an hour to get a strike, which makes the gameplay feel too slow.

I understand that the game aims to be a realistic fishing simulator, which is what makes it so special — but a few small tweaks and stability updates would make it absolutely perfect.

Thank you very much for all your hard work and dedication. I wish the whole team the best of luck and continued success with this great game.

🎣 With respect and appreciation,
Igi

### 5/5 — Really good game but one thing.

*2025-08-10, version 3.1.2*

It’s such a good game but I’ve been playing it for so long and it’s not been any update and it will be way better if you guys put more updates !!

### 5/5 — Pêche réaliste

*2025-08-08, version 3.1.2*

Un jeu top et vraiment réel bien développé manque juste des concours de péche en multijoueur
