Not worth the $50-$70/year. ### 1/5 — They charged me for a free trial? *2024-08-07* Immediately charged me 11.97 for my “free trail no charge cancel anytime” ### 1/5 — No good, not helpful *2023-11-23* Not worth the money, no useful info ocean fishing, and no chance to stop the trial or get a refund. ### 1/5 — no star *2023-10-01, version 1.2.16* Expensive application with Not enough information ### 1/5 — Worst app ever it’s a fraud *2023-09-26, version 1.2.16* The fish it says are in the waters are lies plus you can’t post catches so you can’t even tell if they’re Liebig to you plus if you pay for the premium it doesn’t make any difference ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-09-02* Rip off of Fishangler, Fishbrain, and fishing spots ### 1/5 — Very very expensive and inaccurate *2023-07-16, version 1.2.6* Very very very expensive and inaccurate. One fishing spot is in a home. ### 1/5 — 80$ per year? Really? *2023-06-20, version 1.2.1* That’s insanely expensive. Terrible pricing. ### 1/5 — Fishbrain knock-off. Confusing & inaccurate *2023-06-13* This is a copycat of the more popular Fishbrain app. Even looks they tried (and failed) to steal data from Fishbrain. If you want a good fishing app, go straight to the source and get Fishbrain. **Developer response:** Dear romann1, We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and understand your concern regarding data accuracy.
