### 1/5 — Really bad

*2023-10-30*

This is the worst app I’ve used.   Ads pop up constantly and the fish identifier is right out of the state handout.   

Wish you could get your money back

### 1/5 — Save your money!

*2022-02-19, version 3.2.4*

Weak app.  Refers you to google maps.

### 5/5 — Great Fishing App!

*2014-07-11, version 3.0.0*

If you fish on The Gulf, you need this app! If you're sport fishing or recreational fishing, this will work for both! And if you like picking up shark teeth from the beach I highly suggest Shark Tooth Guide. (It is also an app)

### 5/5 — Great Application

*2011-06-29, version 2.0*

This is one of the best fishing Apps.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2010-11-09, version 0*

This is a great fishing app

### 5/5 — Thumbs up!!!

*2010-08-28, version 0*

Very helpful and informative!!!

### 5/5 — Great app 5 stars

*2010-07-22, version 0*

Would be better if freshwater fish were added, including record sizes, and FWC regulations for them. Also a category should be added for the different crabs of Florida.

### 3/5 — Food values?

*2010-07-21, version 0*

I don't see food values anywhere.

### 3/5 — Needs to be updated more frequently

*2010-06-22, version 0*

This would be a great app if the developer updated the changing fishing regulations, i.e. the early opening of scallop season, the closing of snook season, etc.  Although there is a disclaimer to check the FWC for the "most up-to-date" regulations, why pay $4.99 when you can go to the FWC website for free?  Also, please update the boat ramps section and the Bait shops.

Pros: knot section is excellent along with the fish Identification and measurement information.  Keep updating, especially with the oil spill and I will give it more stars.

### 5/5 — Read the Directions

*2010-06-06, version 0*

The newest version of this app is GREAT! It loaded with ease. I READ THE DIRECTIONS!!!! I hate it when people leave bad reviews because they are too lazy to read the directions or follow the instructions. I e-mailed BrokenLure to thank them for the clear directions, because I was concerned after I read those other reviews that I wouldn't be able to get the app. Not so, after reading the directions is was so simple to load and it works perfectly.
