The goal of the game is to catch all the different types of fishes in Farovia, Icelantica, and other lands. Players start in Waterport, an island in Farovia, with a basic pole - either the Oak Branch pole or the Broken Standard pole - and can catch the various fish found around the island. Eventually, players may travel to different islands by boat in order to catch different fish and complete quests. A player may cast once every 15 minutes, with the chance of catching a fish. Each fish caught will gain the player points and gold (or other types of currency depending on the region), which can be used to purchase other items such as different poles, skills, resources, and boats. Stronger poles cost more gold to purchase, and have increased strength and lure rating, allowing the player to catch rarer and more valuable fish. Skills must be purchased in the early stages of the game in order to progress and will increase your skill points. Resources can be found throughout the Fish Wrangler world both in stores and while fishing, and have a variety of effects: some resources attract or repel specific species of fish, others reduce the waiting time in between casts, and still others are required to progress in the game. Boats are needed to travel to different islands, and can advance in level to travel faster between islands. Although a player can only cast every 15 minutes (excluding the use of resources), additional casts may occur when a member of the player's crew (a Facebook friend that has been invited to join the player in the game) can take the player fishing with them. In addition to crew trips, players who invite others to use the application will become a captain for the invited player, and both the captain and the apprentice will receive one captain trip (a trip in which the apprentice receives some of the reward for the captain's catch) a day, provided the captain has been seen recently. Players who fish at least once on any given day will also receive automated "deckhand checks" for the remainder of that day. Players may also complete quests, which involve catching a certain quota of fish with a specified pole. Quests offer rewards in the form of augments, which allow the player to level their pole thirty levels past the usual maximum. Advanced quests may also reward players with "liquid gold", a resource used to attract particularly rare fish. ## Key features - Catch diverse fish species - Upgrade fishing poles and skills - Travel to different islands - Complete quests for rewards - Utilize resources to attract fish - Invite friends for bonus casts ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | $5 of Red Love Chum | $4.99 | one-time | | $10 of Red Love Chum | $9.99 | one-time | | $1 of Red Love Chum | $0.99 | one-time | | $50 of Red Love Chum | $49.99 | one-time | | $20 of Red Love Chum | $19.99 | one-time | | $100 of Red Love Chum | $99.99 | one-time | | $30 of Red Love Chum | $29.99 | one-time | | $15 of Red Love Chum | $14.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 11) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fish-wrangler-the-original/id6502470347/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Might as well use the website *2025-03-23* App logs you out constantly. Notifications won’t close after clicked. Navigation confusing. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-02-13* I have been playing this game FOR EVER! Been waiting and waiting for it to become an app and here it is. So awesome to have it finally be an app. Great job and fish on!!!! ### 5/5 — Best Game *2024-07-14* I started playing fish wrangler when it first came out but it got to hard to see it on my phone until I was told it was in the app store and I am so happy I missed playing this game ### 5/5 — Fun Game (15 years) *2024-06-12* I’ve been playing this game for 15 years on Facebook and Fishwrangler.com so when the app launched I couldn’t wait to try it. The app is a game changer in that it’s fast response in game play makes me want to play all day haha! It really is a surprisingly fun game loaded with variety and interaction with other players if you enjoy that type of play. One of my favourite features is Night Fishing. I’m a captain with 8 crew and when I’m asleep I’m still playing!! Some of my crew have been with me for 14 years! They love it as much as I do. The game may not look that interesting at first but give it a try because there are layers and layers of game features that make it a top ten in my book. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2024-05-27* Been playing 12 years now. It’s truly the simple things in life. To me this is one of them. ### 5/5 — Incredibly fun game with an active developer! *2024-05-26* Love to fish? Me, too- and I absolutely love this game!! This young developer has come up with an excellent fishing game setup and mechanics- you can play it passively, or if you’re so inclined, try it competitively. You too can fish with enthusiastic worldwide players- and make international friends for life! Join the thousands of fun-loving Fish Wranglers- for the fun, the friends, the fabulous original artwork and hilarious storylines! Woohooo! Fish NOW! *wide grin* ### 5/5 — A Long History of Fun *2024-05-25* Been playing since 2008. It was the first Facebook game that I ever played. The game is low impact in terms of time commitment. Do what you want, when you want. Still, there’s a great community of players with which to interact if that’s your thing. Both the artwork and the creativity of the game’s creators make it worth a look. ### 5/5 — Love this game!!! *2024-05-24* Incredibly addictive yet not overly time consuming - been playing for YEARS. Great artwork and hilarious descriptions of the quite inventive fish. No need to worry about just starting out and being ‘behind’ … you’ll catch up in no time! ### 5/5 — A classic game *2024-05-23* An original free to play game! Love the push notifications for when it’s time to fish or when I’ve gone inactive. Plus getting free love chum from watching ads isn’t bad either. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-05-23* Been playing since the beginning. ## Frequently asked questions about Fish Wrangler ### What is the main goal in Fish Wrangler?
