Just the weather part doesn’t work all the time ### 2/5 — Nice but with some glitches *2026-08-15, version 6.32.0* Fails to load weather/fish forecast. Have done all the suggested fixes still takes very long (many minutes or never) to load. Some screens extend beyond the edge of my display (iPhone 15 Pro) and cannot read important information like location name. Multiple subscription levels ($$$) feels bad. ### 5/5 — Best fishing app I ever had better then all apps that cost money and it’s free 💀 *2026-08-15, version 6.32.0* This app impressed me even using it for free. It has a built in ai assistant that’s insane to me and the AI help so much. Everything about this app is amazing and if you pay for it, that’s probably the best app you’ll ever need. totally recommend if you wanna use it for free or pay ### 4/5 — Rust cabin *2026-08-13, version 6.32.0* 4 star ### 5/5 — Research *2026-08-11, version 6.32.0* The app is great ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-11, version 6.32.0* Don’t have to pay to see the stuff you need ### 5/5 — Ninja 🥷🏿1. *2026-08-09, version 6.32.0* Ranger. ### 5/5 — I’m not sure yet *2026-08-09, version 6.32.0* I’ll get back to you later ### 4/5 — Bill G *2026-08-08, version 6.32.0* Bill G ### 4/5 — Poor quality *2026-08-08, version 6.32.0* Regret on paying for this poor quality never helps out always trying to make you pay more and always showing the same information ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-08, version 6.31.1* Really good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good anymore *2026-08-22, version 6.33.0* This app used to be good. Giving reports on all water. Now it’s limited to only lakes and ponds. They should bring back streams and rivers. Kind of pointless to have now 🙁 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-20, version 6.33.0* Do not download ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-19, version 6.32.0* It’s a money grab you gotta pay weekly or monthly. They even do have a lifetime. Absolute waste of time it makes you answer some questions. Then once you’re done it ask for money with no information given to you ### 1/5 — Keeps charging after canceling subscription *2026-08-17, version 6.32.0* Will continue to charge 27.99 after unsubscribing ### 1/5 — Worst ever *2026-08-13, version 6.32.0* You have to sign in with your email so they can track you stupid ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-08-11, version 6.32.0* You think when you’re paying $35 for an app to use for fishing that you’d be able to do navigation at least as well nope that’s another $35 so for what I paid for in the first subscription it makes this app completely useless ### 1/5 — Doesn’t show which fish can you get at the location *2026-08-09, version 6.32.0* There is others apps that shows where can you fish and the type of fish that you can catch, however, this one just shows the weather and the probability of fish will bite. ### 1/5 — Awful with species *2026-08-08, version 6.32.0* There is only one river in the entirety of Idaho that white sturgeon are found and yet for some reason half of the fish in the snake river aren’t there including sturgeon as well as showing wrong species of fish at some spots I downloaded it to see if the free version would be better than fish brains and it is far worse objectively not much information you can find the navionic depth map seems like it would be cool but I didn’t buy it and try because other features made me dislike the app within 10 minutes ### 1/5 — Review *2026-08-05, version 6.31.1* Wish it was totally free otherwise great. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2026-07-31, version 6.31.0* The app is slow, the maps dont show local bodies of water, and it doesn’t state whether the lakes are public or private. That is kind of important. The subscription is definitely over priced for what you get. Better off using Google. I will not be renewing my subscription. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Crew *2026-08-30, version 6.34.0* I love it ### 5/5 — What is so good about the app *2026-08-25, version 6.33.0* So if you don’t pay for the premium, it’s still a very, very! Good app ### 5/5 — App review *2026-08-25, version 6.33.0* What a neat app as a beginner it’s good to see how strong knots are tied, baits preferred by the fish, specific info about lakes fished. Would definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-25, version 6.33.0* As a new person in the fishing club this is extremely helpful!! ### 5/5 — Great experience *2026-08-24, version 6.33.0* W app actually helpful just doesn’t tell you what neighborhoods is private ### 5/5 — Support team *2026-08-21, version 6.33.0* Very helpful in resolving and refunding a subscription issue Without any fuss. ### 5/5 — Uwu *2026-08-21, version 6.33.0* Uwuuwuwuwuwu ### 5/5 — Help *2026-08-17, version 6.32.0* Need help finding fishing spots near me.
