Super fun!

Love being able to take measurements quickly with this ball. I can keep the fish in the water and take pics - puts my mind at ease. Wish I could add rods, lines, reels and lure/bait info in my profile so I can quickly record my setup for each caught fish. Otherwise this is great!

My proof ball

Love the data it gives but frequently it says rainbow trout are other than rainbow trout

No

First of all there were issues with the app instantly upon installing and wanting to use it. There's not a tutorial anywhere. Second, it claimed that my phone/device storage was almost full so I could not take or use any photos. Completely untrue. I have huge amounts of storage on my phone, as a photographer already. So that wasn't right. Next, what is this orange ball that everyone has? Well, I found out you have to buy that thing. I didn't know I was supposed to purchase anything to use the app. Anyway, I clicked on the little link to buy that little orange ball, and it went straight to Amazon and it said it could not connect the page because they could not find that product. So I'm not going to recommend this, and I am uninstalling this app and not using it at all.

Buggy, no consistency

Seems like every time I open the app the UI changes. I don’t understand the thinking here; with the new UI brings more bugs. Make up your mind and refine the existing UI

Everything broke

Photo measurement and map now simply display null errors. Can’t measure my fish 👎

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback. We appreciate you calling this out. The scrolling issue you mentioned has been fixed in the latest update and the feed now scrolls smoothly again. The problem that limited loading beyond recent catches has also been resolved. Please update to the latest version and let us know if you notice anything else we’re continuously improving the experience.

Fun new tool

Have had this now for a little bit. Lot of fun to use. Accurate. Simple. Love the data collection & map.

Worst fish measuring app yet

Each update keeps getting worse and worse. Less features and less precise measurements? Not looking forward to “version 4”. Do not buy the ball. Just keep a damn scale and measure tape with you.

Best app ever!!!

Been on the app since it was first launched. It has continue to improve as time goes on as AI does.

That dang noise is so silly

The newest update improved some issues that I complained about previously, thank you! My only gripe now is that when my phone is on “silent”, I don’t want to hear the AI measuring sound effect!

Looks better, performs worse

The new update is more visually appealing, but the functionality of the social aspect of the app went to trash. The scrolling action locks onto a catch, instead of allowing for a continual smooth scroll. This is fine if you’re an iPad baby that watches reels 16 hours a day, but it makes no sense for this application. It’s also more recently limited me from scrolling past the most recent 5 catches. It simply won’t load any further.

Completely non intuitive

Upgraded to v3 - just cannot figure out how to measure my fish. No visible option to upload existing photo. Shot a video of new catch from within the app - it disappeared. Guys, please make it simple and straightforward, all these social media bells and whistles are worthless if I cannot simply measure my catch.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback, we’re sorry for the confusion and frustration this caused. We’ve submitted a new build that clearly adds a “Measure” label under the camera button in the bottom navigation to make the measurement flow easier to find. To measure a fish, simply take a photo or video in the app, it’s automatically submitted for analysis. You can check the status and results in your Gallery, where you can then post to feed, save to your profile, or download to your phone. We appreciate you calling this out and are continuing to simplify the experience.

Christmas gift

I think I’d love it but I can’t sign in with my google account as there’s a bug

Response from developer

Thanks for your review, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience especially since this was a Christmas gift. 🙏 If you’re still facing the Google sign-in issue, please reach out to us at support@fishtechy.com. Normally, issues can be reported directly from the app and are resolved within a day or two, but since you’re unable to log in, email is the best way for us to help you right away.

Don’t register then get a new phone

Had the ball registered. Worked fine. Got a new phone and the app won’t work. Says ball not registered. Did the addition portion and says the ball is already registered. I’m logged in as the same person. Won’t allow to add. Tech support delay is so long that by the time they respond it’s another day or more. And the solution can be had.

Convenient!

Such a great idea and easy way to safely and quickly measure fish!

Response from developer

Thank you for the 5-star review! 🙌 We’re really glad you find Fishtechy convenient and helpful for safely measuring fish. Your support means a lot to us tight lines and happy fishing! 🎣

Dude you were right!

“Dude, I had no idea that cutthroat was 22 inches!”
The fishtechy app sets the record straight! I love competitive fishing with my friends, and this app takes all the stress, exaggerated stories, and photography tricks out of the mix!

Response from developer

Love this review 😄🎣 Thanks for the 5 stars! We’re glad Fishtechy helps keep things fair, fun, and stress-free no more guesswork, tall tales, or photo tricks. Competing with friends should be about the fish, not the debate. Tight lines!

Perfect? No…but

Perfect? No…but it’s fun. I just wish you could filter the feed to friends only.

Over reach

This app wants access to all photos to measure the length of a couple fish that I have in only a couple photos. Giving access to thousands of photos to an ai app which should only need access to selected photos is dangerous and suggest this company is merely using this app as a data mine to extract personal information.

Response from developer

We understand your concern. Fishtechy does not use your personal photos or data for anything other than measuring your catches. You can grant access to only selected photos when prompted. We’re committed to user privacy and never data mine or store unrelated photos.

Terrible

Not buying your 2nd version proof ball when I already own the first and hadn’t registered yet. Honestly get bent, screw you scammer company.

Response from developer

We’re sorry you feel this way. Proof Ball v2 is an upgrade with added features, but v1 is still fully supported and can be registered anytime. We are committed to ensuring both versions work seamlessly.

Awesome tech

Really cool new tech. The measurements I get are generally very accurate. It can be off by a bit here and there, but that’s usually when I don’t have the ball close enough to the fish. When used right, it seems really accurate

Response from developer

Thank you for the 5⭐! We’re glad you’re enjoying the tech. You’re right—the closer the Proof Ball is to the fish, the more accurate the results. Appreciate your support!

Measurements are accurate, cool catch log feature

I’ve measured probably 30 fish with this app and compared to my net ruler; the app has been remarkably accurate. I 100% trust it, and it’s a fun app. Love love love the SMART log and the measurement pics I get. Super easy to get a catch measurement in seconds with way less fish handling. They update the app a lot … constantly adding features, fixing bugs, etc. So if something is wonky, it gets fixed fast. Support is responsive. American made. Haven’t used the new Challenges feature yet (just released) but my buddies are stoked to use it on our annual trip next month. Watch this app … they’re just getting started, moving fast, and innovating.
