The “kayak access” pin and filter does not work at all. All the public boat ramps do not show up either. ### 1/5 — Fees, fees, fees *2026-06-07, version 5.1.1* They ruined a good thing by charging for the fish forecast. Greedy. ### 1/5 — App was ok now it sucks *2026-05-28, version 5.1.1* Incredibly bad graphics and now you want to make money on fish forecasts I’m dropping the app ### 5/5 — Made me a pro *2026-05-27, version 5.1.1* Best app ever it’s fish AI. It’s the best. Let’s go fish. ### 1/5 — Latest free version removed lunar *2026-05-27, version 5.1.1* This app was great until they stripped lunar from the free version, now it’s worthless to me. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-05-26, version 5.1.1* I have found this app to be very accurate. Especially with the weather and the prime fishing times of the day. ### 5/5 — Fishy *2026-05-22, version 5.1.1* 👍 ### 1/5 — I am too dumb to use this app *2026-05-22, version 5.1.1* I was completely lost using this app maybe I am too dumb but there was no fish id that I could find every screen was over loaded with stuff I was not interested in and I had to pay for Like I said I am just too dumb for this app 🤣 Good luck to all you smart fishermen out there ### 1/5 — Was good now poor *2026-05-15, version 5.1.1* Have to pay for feeding times ### 5/5 — W app *2026-05-13, version 5.1.0* Amazing app lets you talk to other anglers and helps me track my catches plus my fishing spots 100/10! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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”. ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — App useless now *2026-07-06, version 5.1.1* App was down all day yesterday and now that it’s back up, every single body of water and the catches listed there, gone. The hundreds of water bodies with catches in the GTA (including my own catches) including Lake Ontario are now either gone or behind the paywall. Completely useless app now. ### 1/5 — Day 6 of trying to get past the sign in page *2026-07-06, version 5.1.1* Cant sign in. Infinite loading screen. Fix it. Is this app abandoned or something? ### 1/5 — Paywalls have ruined FishAngler *2026-07-02, version 5.1.1* After years of contributing and using FishAngler as a community tool for anglers all over the world, the March 2026 update that paywalls seeing other peoples catches has killed the app for me. FishAngler still allows you to log your catches but now they own that data and sell it to other users as a ‘premium’ feature. I’m very sad to be deleting all my data and the app, this is just wrong. ### 1/5 — Do not use this app *2026-07-02, version 5.1.1* This app plays dumb commercials out loud while you scroll through the feed. This app is garbage just trying to force people to pay. Good luck ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-06-26, version 5.1.1* This apple run you $80 per year not worth it not even close. You still have people that report their catches at their houses so you don’t really know where they got caught. Not worth it delete it from your phone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 star review *2026-08-30, version 5.2.2* This app is amazing. Whether you want to just scroll on the feed or find fishing spots this app has it all. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Better then Fishbrain *2026-08-26, version 5.2.1* FishAngler is what fishbrain was. If you used fishbrain before they monetized every useful tool on their app, then you know what I’m talking about. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Availability *2026-07-22, version 4.6.6* 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! ### 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, version 5.1.1* 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 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-23, version 5.1.1* This is a great app for fishing though I wish it would help me with knots. Maybe you can add ### 5/5 — Hella fish *2026-06-04, version 5.1.1* 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 ### 5/5 — Fishing *2026-06-04, version 5.1.1* Fish😁👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
