## What is Flick Fishing?

It's a beautiful day, and the fish are definitely biting. Travel to a variety of beautiful locations, kick back, and do a little bit of angling. Pop open your tackle box and switch your bait to attract different fish. Collect new tackle and customize your rod just the way you like it. Complete missions, participate in tournaments, or simply enjoy fishing without any particular goal. 

Even if you've never handled a fishing rod before, you'll feel like a pro here. Cast your line with a simple tap or flick, then reel it in once you have a bite. Be careful though, as some fish are real fighters. Reel them in gently or they'll break your line and get away. There are a lot of different types of fish to catch, and as you catch them they will be added to your virtual aquarium. Haul in the biggest ones you can and show off your catch to your friends. Collect all of the secret treasures that litter the various fishing spots and try to bring in the legendary targets. Fish however you like. After all, it's your time.

- Easy Controls: Simply flick or tap to cast your line. Once you've got a bite, reel it in. It's as simple as that!

- Visit Gorgeous Spots: Can't get away from the office? Tired of your classroom? No lake near your house? Take a break and slip away to one of 11 beautifully-rendered 3D locations!

- Plenty of Fish: There are 34 different types of fish to catch, covering a wide variety of species and sizes. Once you catch them, they'll be added to your virtual aquarium!

- Collect New Equipment: Discover new rods, reels, charms, and gizmos that will help you improve your results! 

- Take on Tournaments: Play in two different types of tournaments against CPU opponents or other players via local network play!

### 1/5 — Greed ruined a classic

*2025-06-17, version 2.0.30*

I remember spending an entire summer in middle school playing Flick Fishing. I came to buy it again and I see you have to pay a SUBSCRIPTION to play it. Won’t be getting any money from me.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2025-06-02, version 2.0.30*

Game forces you to buy a membership

### 1/5 — I’m disappointed

*2025-05-16*

This game was great as a kid, 5/5 stars. In the game they state they will honor previous purchases of the game and won’t require the subscription. I’ve sent two emails, and haven’t received a response. I purchased this game around 2013 and am upset to find that the developers haven’t even acknowledged the proof of purchase I’ve sent through their own portal.

### 1/5 — Monthly Subscription is crazy

*2025-05-04, version 2.0.30*

i download for nostalgia purposes only to be harassed by yet another monthly subscription, make this game free to play!

### 2/5 — Not like the old one

*2025-04-10, version 2.0.30*

Used to be my favorite game as a kid…this feels like a rip-off version, the quality is garbage, theres a few bugs, its just not like how it was…I wish the og was still around

### 1/5 — :(

*2025-03-16, version 2.0.30*

Used to love this game, but the fact that they mislead you and ask you to pay a monthly subscription is very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-01-28, version 2.0.30*

Bought this game in the past and they removed it from the AppStore now I have to pay a subscription to play it again???

### 1/5 — Cheated Out of My Money

*2024-12-08, version 2.0.30*

I previously purchased Flick Fishing including the expansions but that means nothing because the game was bought by a new company and you need a subscription to play.

I submitted proof of purchase to the new
Company that owns Flick Fishing and never heard back, nor am I able to access the game.

### 1/5 — How are you not fixing this??

*2024-10-19*

Downloaded the game for nostalgia purposes as I played the original on my og ipod touch, deleted immediately after seeing the subscription process… came to write a review about how disappointing that is, but saw people have been giving 1 star reviews for the identical reason for the past 4 years… How have you not listened to the customer and just put a price on downloading the app instead of a subscription?

### 1/5 — Stupid to have a monthly subscription with no free option

*2024-09-02, version 2.0.30*

I’d rather have ads to deal with then spend 6 bucks on a phone game…
