## What is FishAngler?

Target the Fish. Master the Waters.

FishAngler is your AI-powered fishing guide — the fishing app that gets smarter with every catch you log. Personalized game plans. Verified spots. Real-time weather forecast. Built for anglers who want to master the waters.

Meet FINN™ — your personal fishing guide. Every catch you log feeds FINN™ with data about your spots, species, and local conditions. FINN™ analyzes that history alongside real-time fishing weather to generate personalized game plans for every trip. Not generic advice. Your data. Your patterns. Your edge.

### 1/5 — I thought fishbrain was bad…

*2026-08-20, version 5.2.1*

At least be upfront about pricing in the app store’s preview. Why do you have to collect my data before I see pricing. My data is worth way more than the features that are “free”.

### 5/5 — Best free app

*2026-08-19, version 5.2.1*

I love this app so much I hate spending money to find spots and seeing if you can fish there or not but it works so well and helped me catch a nice bass

### 1/5 — One more greedy app

*2026-07-26, version 5.2.1*

Pay first

### 1/5 — Not free !!!

*2026-07-26, version 5.2.1*

App requires subscription after 7 days

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-07-23, version 5.2.1*

This app was great until they started charging for every little feature. It was a great space to check out lakes and ponds to see what species were in each and it was a great way to meet other anglers that weren’t snobby. They might as well as charge you for breathing while you open the app. I would give it no stars if I could. What a bummer.

### 5/5 — Availability

*2026-07-22*

Hey I love this app it’s great functional but I live in Australia and as this app is a bit les know there are little to no fishing spots available i was wondering if you guys could work with the fisheries here in Australia and have some pre set spots I reckon this would help more people get in to the app. Thanks and love what your doing!

**Developer response:** Hi Very sad12345, thank you for this, and for the kind words. We're glad the app has been useful even with limited coverage in Australia so far. Spot data quality really depends on how much community activity we have logged in a given region, so expanding into markets like Australia is very much something we're actively looking at. We'll make sure your feedback gets in front of the team working on international expansion, input like this genuinely helps us prioritize where to grow next. Appreciate you sticking with us and being part of building that out.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-07-22, version 5.2.1*

At first I thought that it was going to be bad like other I used but It’s it help me a lot we get see other ppl catches and more and yes I’m 13 years old and this app helped me catch my new PB 15 pounds

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-07-13, version 5.2.0*

This app is just amazing I love how it’s useful and fun at the same time and the ability to post what you caught is amazing and the community is amazing and it tells you the proper lures to use

### 5/5 — It’s awesome fishing App

*2026-07-10*

It’s great App you can see structure and all reports about the structure and all kind of fish you can catch on that spot

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words. Glad you're finding value in the spot data and species breakdowns. Tight lines out there.

### 1/5 — Terrible support

*2026-07-08, version 5.1.1*

Talk about trash. These people claim to support veterans but when a vet accidentally was charged for a full year 59.99 for their app they wouldn’t even offer a refund after it was immediately deleted and u used. No customer service. They just blamed Apple.  Apple isn’t the owner of the company. They are. They are a joke. Shame on you
