### 3/5 — Average

*2026-02-15, version 3.0.1*

Good app. Only issue is when you are out on the water with no signal and try open the app you automatically get logged out. When you try log in again you obviously can’t within signal therefore it is good for prep but bad on the water

### 2/5 — 2 star

*2023-09-16, version 2.1.1*

Expensive app. Never up to date on time

### 4/5 — San Pedro

*2023-06-26, version 2.1.1*

Today water temp confirmed at 59 degrees.  App stated three degrees warmer.  Accurate information critical.

### 1/5 — Basically Useless

*2023-06-08, version 2.1.1*

I’m a spearo and have tried using this app for a number of years for the chlorophyll charts. If you are lucky to get updated charts on the same day, there’s a good chance the image will contain missing or false data. This app is a joke. How hard can it be to ensure on a clear day that the images are uploaded in a timely and accurate fashion. Best go with ripcharts if you are chasing reliable chlorophyll charts.

### 1/5 — Premium

*2023-05-28, version 2.1.1*

I pay for premium but can’t see the 5 day forecast

### 3/5 — Review

*2023-02-10, version 2.1.1*

Would rate higher if the cloud free was updated daily instead of always 2 days behind as a premium member.

### 1/5 — Bolo

*2023-01-16, version 2.1.1*

Signs me out all the time friggn annoyn

### 3/5 — Hit and miss

*2022-08-16, version 2.1.0*

Unreliable, everyday you log in is a lucky dip to whether you can access the data or not. When it works it is great, however it’s common to log in and not be able to view the contents of the app due to bugs.

### 1/5 — Billing dispute

*2022-06-21, version 2.0.14*

Fish Track billed me for service but my account is not accessible as their change password function is not working. Hence could not cancel service. Tried their support function; got a 404 error. Was seeking some evidence that I have a contractual obligation. However they seem to have found a way to hold off Capital One my credit card issuer  FT said check the IPhone for subscriptions  Don’t see any at all. Zero. Nada 

Surfline is an associated company and has also billed me for a surfing service. I do not surf, have never surfed and have never subscribed to their service. 

All of this smells badly rather like rotten fish  Suggest you AVOID

### 4/5 — Improvements

*2022-05-24, version 2.0.14*

First by fixing the review can’t see what your typing

### 3/5 — Missing the web version of Fishtrack, mobile version not user friendly

*2022-04-25, version 2.0.14*

The mobile version is not user friendly.

### 1/5 — Subscriptions

*2022-04-23, version 2.0.14*

This company tries to push more apps for you to pay another $100 rather than fix issues they have with the app you purchase.

### 1/5 — Premium subscription

*2022-04-12*

I am paying for premium subscription and currently 7-day forecast is not available to me. So far didn’t get a response on my question. Alex

**Developer response:** Hey Alex, I see my colleague got back to you the next day and the issue you were experiencing has since been resolved. If you enjoy FishTrack Premium, we'd really appreciate an updated review! You know where to find us if you require assistance of any kind. - James.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever purchased

*2022-03-13, version 2.0.14*

Don’t waste your money the level of professionalism in the background compare to competitors is not even compatible.

### 4/5 — Great- when it works.

*2021-10-27, version 2.0.13*

I love the features but am equally frustrated at how often the satellite imagery feature fails- often for weeks at a time.

### 1/5 — Awful Customer Support

*2021-10-12, version 2.0.13*

The title says it all!

It won’t even let me send this review. Asks for a nickname … every one i pick wont send. even 123456789

Unbelievable!

### 1/5 — Useless

### 1/5 — App is faulty

*2024-12-16, version 3.0.1*

### 5/5 — It's ok

*2024-07-04, version 3.0.0*
