NOTHING ELSE. I’m not paying 100 BUCKS for a whole year to see other fish. It says it’s free but it’s just a pay to use. Absolutely HORRENDOUS. Maybe I would use it if it wasn’t a pay to win. Ridiculous. ### 4/5 — 4/5 *2026-08-24, version 9.60.0* This app would’ve been given a 5/5 if it weren’t for the fact that out of curiosity I looked up to see if there were any freshwater bull shark catches in the area by Neuse river and instead I was brought to a post with someone’s picture that was clearly from the early 2000s was taken from inside of their home. I know this bc the app is so accurate it I clicked view map and it showed the person’s home. That to me is a safety concern. I think the posts should actually be reviewed or as far as where the picture was taken. Idk anyone in NC that has freshwater in their back yard with bull sharks in it and I don’t think anyone else from NC knows anyone that does either. Other than that I say this app is amazing. Be mindful of where you are taking your pictures. Remember this app was made for REAL TIME or RECENT catches within the area not for taking pictures in your home. Nobody is gonna go fishing in your house 😭! ### 3/5 — It is mid *2026-08-24, version 9.60.0* It is a good app it is just not the best if you don’t have premium. ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-08-23, version 9.60.0* Hi ### 5/5 — Pier fishing spot *2026-08-23, version 9.60.0* 3 ### 5/5 — Fish *2026-08-22, version 9.60.0* It’s great man use it and use it wisely ### 1/5 — $$$$ *2026-08-22, version 9.60.0* Basically nothing useful unless your willing to cough up some shekels for information ## Frequently asked questions about Fishbrain ### What does the Fishbrain app do?
