## What is Fishing Trips?

Fishing Trips app allows you to meet new people who are interested in fishing so you can go for a trip together! It’s a great way to make friends and get extra trips.
If you want to go fishing but don’t have anyone to go with, try this social networking app to make fishing connections. Our fishing friend finder is here to connect you with likeminded people near you! Just provide your fishing trip details and see people who match with your request. Fishing Trips will allow you to message matched users to sort the final details of the trip, prior to departure. Once the trip is complete, users can rate each other on the experience.
This meet up app is not only for individuals. Commercial operators can also use the platform to advertise their fishing trips. Fishing Trips allows users to search for fishing guides, private fishing trips or both. If there are no private trips in your area, we’ll suggest a fishing guide so you can go fishing at their favorite fishing spots. 
If you’re someone who says, “I want to make friends near me” and you enjoy fishing, this app is perfect for you.  It really is a friend making app that can help you meet new friends. Why play fishing games when you can live the real fishing life!

This app is made for both individuals and commercial fishing businesses.

### 1/5 — Great idea but never anyone on this app

*2022-12-27, version 1.31*

The idea is great but I have been paying for this app for almost a year and I have not seen any trips available and I have not receive any responses to my my trips. The idea is great but needs significant improvement or advertising backing.

### 1/5 — Love the idea but won’t operate on iOS xs

*2022-01-24, version 1.13*

When registering, it continually told me “email was already registered”. Created new email and same result. Won’t allow me to update or proceed further.

### 1/5 — Currently useless

*2022-01-20, version 1.13*

The reason it is useless is it’s format for fishing trips. 
You have to say…….  I want to fish in Thursday June 23rd at 820 Heron road at 1PM
And then somehow miraculously another fisherman is going to come along and say “hey I’d like to fish on Thursday June 23rd at 820 Heron road at 1PM too! “
It’s like trying to hit an arrow with another arrow. 
It should say “I want to fish southern Florida next August.”
Currently though………
Total waste of time.

### 1/5 — Gotta be a scam

*2021-12-25, version 1.13*

This is the stupidest and most pointless app ive ever used. Its so stupid that it has to be a scam. Ive deducted points off my own man card for downloading to check it out.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-12-19, version 1.13*

Cool idea, horrible implementation. You literally cannot do anything on this app unless you know very specific details. It’s not like a message board where you can post up there you’re going fishing at a certain time and location and have people hit you up if interested. I deleted it in less than a day. They need to figure this out and relaunch it. Right now it’s pointless garbage.

### 3/5 — Great concept, apprehensive about subscription service with a newer app

*2021-11-12, version 1.11*

I agree with others that this is a great concept, always looking to connect with other fishing enthusiasts for a trip. However, my impression is this is a newer app and I would recommend allowing the user base to grow before requiring a subscription fee to simply search for a trip. Yes there is a 90 day free trial but I think people will be apprehensive to subscribe to yet another service without getting an understanding of the app’s effectiveness.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2021-09-02, version 1.6.1*

I have yet to find or have someone find a single fishing trip on the app. There really needs to be a way to scan an area for available trips instead of knowing exactly what addresses people are using as the meetup location. The concept is awesome as I often am looking to bring people fishing with me and would enjoy the opportunity to do a little fishing from a boat too. But the execution of finding trips or having people find yours is far too difficult unless they already know where you intend to meet down to the street number; fine if you called your buddies to meet you somewhere, doesn’t work when you’re trying to meet fishing friends you’ve never met before and don’t have a way to contact them

### 3/5 — Great Idea

*2021-08-26, version 1.5*

I feel so bad wrecking there 5 star streak. But I am honest. This is a great app and I’m going to leave some feedback. It does not allow me to change my photo, or add a photo for the trip. I would be nice to add a photo of something to identify yourself when meeting. Additionally it would be nice to be able to search within a x mile radius for potential fishing trips or requests for trips. Maybe not a dating app style where you swipe right. But more of like a list from closest to farthest that you can scroll through. Then filter by fish type, time of day etc… I purchase the monthly subscription in hopes to help with development costs… love the idea. But I don’t think the app is finished yet.
