Just about perfect

Best fishing app I’ve used to date. Just wish there was the option to add multiple fish for one GPS location for when your anchored up and reeling them in. Maybe in the next update?

Very Good App and support!

It would be helpful to have ability to add multiple fish caught at approx. same time with same conditions, lures, or a way to duplicate the next fish with similar conditions. It would also de very helpful to log trolling line out and leader length in feet.

Pretty Good

App is great for keeping track. I think my biggest suggestion would be to have an option to track quantity of fish caught. If you catch 30 fish on one lure it would be nice to be able to track that instead of entering 30 entries.

Perfect way to track fishing history

I’ve been using the app for our annual Canada fishing trip since 2015 and will continue indefinitely. The ability to document any detail of our catches has been invaluable in how we adapt and ensure continued success.

Fish tale

Customer response was good when I was having problems. It had one little quirk but they worked me around it.
