I also haven't seen any nee posts since six days ago. Please fix your app. ### 4/5 — Good app! But… *2026-06-12, version 1.8.2* I love this app. It’s very fun! But the feature where you can pick a photo you’ve previously taken from your camera roll doesn’t really work. It just loads the “finalising identification” screen and doesn’t go any further. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. But otherwise it works really well! ### 4/5 — Great App but needs more features *2026-06-11, version 1.8.2* The app has been great so far, one thing I want to ask is how do I invite someone to my crew, I don’t see anywhere where I can get a code, referral or, QR code? Another thing is I can’t do anything with the crew right now, can’t see the name, can’t see how many people… Please add more features for the Crew. ### 1/5 — It’s not working *2026-06-08, version 1.8.2* I’ve paid money to use this but it says sign in to Catchr, and it wants me to use my apple account to sign in but when I click on it it says I can’t use an apple account to sign in to another domain. I think It scammed me ### 1/5 — misleading *2026-06-04, version 1.8.2* Free to download, but waits until you're done setting up a profile to tell you that a paid subscription is required. ### 1/5 — Not even a free “preview” *2026-05-29* How could I know if your app works in France?? ### 1/5 — Pay wall *2026-05-26, version 1.8.2* I don’t even know if there is a free version. Every time I try to make an account it pay walls me and the “x” to close out just pulls up a “discount.” I just want to use the free version. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t Even Use The App!!! *2026-05-26, version 1.8.2* I tried to set up my account, but before it allowed me to finish, it forces me to buy a subscription. It won’t let me click off of it. Total waste of my time. ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-05-18, version 1.8.2* We can’t even TRY the app for free 👎👎 We have to purchase a subscription just to open the app... It sucks because we can’t even see if the app is good or worth buying BEFORE paying for it 🤦‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Thought it would be a free app to record fish. It is not. *2026-05-13, version 1.8.2* This app is not useable without subscriptions. Doesn’t at all say a subscription is needed but I cannot get beyond the set up of the app without making a subscription. No features are available to me whatsoever. ### 2/5 — Very buggy *2026-05-08, version 1.8.2* Such a great base with great potential, buggy app with no clear way to follow/add friends or even add them to your crew. Needs more spots in the UK but this app can develop into something great. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dommage *2026-07-28* Franchement sans payer impossible à utiliser et s’amuser, utilité discutable car il y’a peut d’utilisateurs ### 1/5 — No support app is failing *2026-07-12, version 1.8.2* Got this app and found out that it’s developers no longer respond to support request and their buttons to access their support portal no longer work. Their discord admins advise the devs quit responding sometime ago. A lot of the features in the app no longer work. The app asks for your cash but doesn’t deliver what you paid for. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-07-12, version 1.8.2* You have to pay and can’t delete this app ### 1/5 — Payant sérieux ?? *2026-07-12* Si le contenus serait gratuit mais avec quelque pub l'app pourrait être excellente. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-06-20, version 1.8.2* I love the way the app is structured around being able to log your catches like it’s Pokémon go, I genuinely believe it’s super creative plus the identification is accurate. The problem is that everything this app offers is behind a paywall and you need a subscription for literally everything. ### 1/5 — I want to like it *2026-06-19, version 1.8.2* I would like this app but nobody within 100 miles of me uses it. So I spend 12 bucks for a year of this app for no reason. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2026-06-18, version 1.8.2* App doesn’t even work, you try to scan fish to upload the photos and it doesn’t work. Absolute trash app and waste of money. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — App hasn’t worked in a week *2026-06-17, version 1.8.2* Can’t upload pictures and no one local has uploaded in about a week, probably because they are also facing this issue. ### 1/5 — Fishing *2026-06-17, version 1.8.2* Seems like a good app however can’t won’t load any catches I have and just stuck on finalizing and never identified or posted ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-06-16, version 1.8.2* Paid for the subscription..the fish identifier doesnt even work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It works *2026-08-19, version 1.8.2* It works good ### 5/5 — W app *2026-08-04, version 1.8.2* Amazing absolutely goated I can now collect fish like Pokémon😂 and it gave me amazing fishing spots ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-31, version 1.8.2* Goated app ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-26, version 1.8.2* Good ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-07-23, version 1.8.2* This is pretty cool as someone who struggles with finding good spots this app seems to be a blessing to catch some fish ### 5/5 — Recommend use *2026-07-21, version 1.8.2* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Aus *2026-06-30, version 1.8.2* Make more Aus fish options in what fish you are targeting ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-31, version 1.8.2* Good ### 5/5 — fish ain’t identifying *2026-05-04, version 1.8.2* I like this app, but recently, I haven’t been able to get the app to identify fish and add them into my cooler, do you know why this could happen? ### 5/5 — Best *2026-05-02, version 1.8.2* Amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
