The app requires you to manually move the arrow to the coordinate with no ability to just type in the long/lat!?!? What’s better is even after I go through this absurd process, the app usually gets stuck with a spinning wheel and won’t save the spot. In addition, I was excited to see the “insights” what a joke, it just gives me general information about most species. The weather and wind is not only inaccurate, but usually doesn’t load and just displays 0’s. Finally, the sea temperature does not display on the map even when the layer is toggled on. If I could give 0 stars I would, wish I could get my $9.98 back!! ### 3/5 — Map won’t load *2023-06-12, version 6.2.4* Even with everything turned off the map will not load. No way to contact app support. ### 3/5 — Novice *2023-01-29, version 6.2.3* Hard to navigate ### 1/5 — Premium content not working *2023-01-22, version 6.2.3* I have used this app previously and loved it, but when I went to purchase a year-long premium subscription last week, none of the premium content works—it simply advertises that premium layers are available and when I select it, it takes me to the purchase screen again and again and tells me I’m already subscribed—never allowing me to access the premium content like depth and contour lines. I’m running latest iOS on iPhone 11, restarted and redownloaded app many times, reached out to the app company and only received a stock response on how to navigate contour lines. I e now requested a refund. ### 4/5 — Offline map *2022-09-04, version 6.2.3* Everything seems to work ok and the map detail is decent. The pins are clear and easy enough to use but my only issue really is that i cannot complete a download for the offline maps. Restarting devices didnt help, reinstalling didnt work, and it always freezes at 40% ### 1/5 — Good luck canceling your account just about have to threaten to sue them *2022-07-21, version 6.2.3* Frustrating ### 1/5 — Waste of money!!! *2022-07-02, version 6.2.3* Paid for premium and can’t see anything better than the same Florida artificial reefs I already knew about!! Plus I have to zoom in so far to see the spots I can’t tell where I am on the map! ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2022-06-20, version 6.2.3* When gas costs $5 per gallon, an additional $54 for an app I seldom use is not worth the cost! Drop the price to $10 and I’m in. Otherwise, cancel my subscription and return the money. We are in a recession and expenses like this are the first things to go. Let’s go, Brandon!!! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-06-07, version 6.2.3* Most recent review in App is from 2021. No current data in app. I was looking at the Eagle River Chain in WI hoping that with an App it would have information on current conditions, which fish species are biting and what type of bait is working. Not a single useful piece of information for the area I’m looking for ### 4/5 — Bragging on my fishies *2022-05-24, version 6.2.3* I like using the app to show off my fishes that I catch with my Husband out on our fishing adventures. ### 1/5 — Needs updated *2022-03-20, version 6.2.3* Could be a good app but why pay for premium when catches and info is from 2014 I don’t care what happened then I want current information ### 1/5 — Beware! You cannot cancel this subscription! *2022-02-22, version 6.2.3* I have been trying to cancel this subscription for months! There is literally no way to do it, no phone number to call and they do not respond to emails. My advise…. Don’t sign up! Choose a different app! Sorry for the disappointment 🥺 ### 1/5 — Very limited maps *2022-02-12, version 6.2.3* I live in Texas and west Tx at that, the closest lake are 2 hours away. They do not have them. Wasted my money. ### 1/5 — I can’t unsubscribe! *2022-02-08, version 6.2.3* I won an annual membership to the premium version for submitting a photo, and one year later, my credit card gets hit for a $50 renewal fee that I did not sign up for! I am disputing. I tried to cancel through the app and it does not recognize that I have a membership. BEWARE! ### 2/5 — Contours won’t load with countless other things *2022-01-27, version 6.2.3* Down loaded the app with my brand new iPhone 13 full service and on WiFi and the app doesn’t load anything but vegetation. Feel scammed and used for someone to make a buck of a avid outdoorsman paying to gain more knowledge of the lakes he fishes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely worthless *2026-07-29, version 6.2.12* This app is completely useless. It literally does NOTHING you need to do to use it for marine navigation. It won’t measure distances and won’t even show GPS coordinates. I just wasted $10 buying the “premium” service hoping that would unlock features but no, it’s just a pointless picture where you can drop pins on. RIDICULOUSLY BAD ### 1/5 — App does not function well *2026-07-29, version 6.2.12* The app used to work well but now it has errors and will not function correctly ### 1/5 — Premium does not work *2026-04-20, version 6.2.11* Paid the money to get premium and it does not work. When I click on insights it tells me to buy premium. Then when I click on purchase tells me I already have bought it for one year, which I did. Circle repeats. I have been trying for 1 hour to contact Fishidy and a number is not listed and it won’t let me email them. Please…save your money and don’t use this app. ### 1/5 — Dosent have all rivers *2025-12-30, version 6.2.11* Paid for the subscription jut to find out the don’t have the info on the river I fish ### 1/5 — Scam? *2025-02-14, version 6.2.10* I renewed my premium on 1/14/25 and it doesn’t give me premium features. I have emailed them twice w no response. ### 1/5 — No hot spots data *2025-02-02, version 6.2.10* Hot spots icon does not give the info and data it used to on the app. Tried multiple times to reach the developer with no luck. ### 1/5 — Getting worse *2025-01-25, version 6.2.10* The app is now worse than ever. Used to be much easier to navigate. ### 1/5 — Can’t Even Register *2024-05-29, version 6.2.8* Tried to create a new account, both in the app and through a browser, keeps telling me that I need to enter a valid zip code, even though I already have. Not much use if you can’t register to use it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-01-24, version 6.2.8* Need help ### 1/5 — Montana Fishermen *2023-07-31, version 6.2.5* I’m sure this is a great app, but for Montana it has very few of our lakes. And if you are a fisherman it has none of our lakes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This used to be the best fishing app. *2024-08-07, version 6.2.8* I first downloaded this app in 2012 when it was “Fishing Scout”. It was the most popular fishing app… my accounts from then when I was 12 are still up and it’s an awesome time capsule to look back on. At some point the app changed to “Fishing Crew” I believe… then I’m not sure when it changed to Fishidy. Anybody remember when it was fishing scout? ### 5/5 — very helpful app *2023-07-06, version 6.2.5* This help me so much for fishing ### 5/5 — Terrible *2022-03-13, version 6.2.3* Can’t figure out how to research a new lake , trying to post a pic , on bragging board , can’t , the entire thing is above my head ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-06-23, version 6.2.3* Excellent app and way to share ideas and passion of our sport with others new to the sport and seasoned ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-08-21, version 6.0.5* Been using the app for a couple years now. I like the maps and the social media part as well! Best fishing app for none! ### 5/5 — Bad at first *2019-08-20, version 6.0.5* At first I felt the app was unusable but after some great customer service it works great for my type of fishing anyway. ### 5/5 — Practical fishing app *2019-08-03* I got this app for a large lake near my house because I had no idea how or where to fish it. Turns out to be way more useful than I thought and soon got the premium version. **Developer response:** Sporty1377, that's awesome, thanks for sharing your feedback! ### 5/5 — Great App! Love the features! *2019-08-01, version 6.0.4* I have nothing but great things to say about Fishidy. I’d recommend it to EVERYONE who is serious about fishing. I received great help from customer support whenever I had questions. Grand Slam! ### 5/5 — Valuable fishing app. *2019-06-12* I have enjoyed my Fishidy Premium app. Tons of valuable information and waterway mapping. The anglers that make up the Fishidy community are from all over the world and are very helpful with tips , techniques and local information. You can correspond with anyone from the weekend angler to professional Captains and guides. Blue Marlin to Bluegill. Fishidy has it all. **Developer response:** Z7 Capt, thanks for the feedback and kind words - happy to hear you're enjoying Fishidy! ### 5/5 — Finding people *2019-02-20, version 5.7.8* It could be easier to find the people you want to follow --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
