When I downloaded the app I put my fishing preference to sea fishing, expecting that would put sea/shore fishing as the main content on the app but it doesn’t. With this it does make the app quite useless to me and possibly others and would wonder if this would get looked at as this could become a great app for the Sea fisher aswell as the Frish water angler. ### 2/5 — Lack of fisheries in the north! *2024-09-02, version 2.0.0* Only recently downloaded the app, as just trying to get time to get back into fishing again love the layout of the app and like the features. But the distinct lack of fisheries in the north east of England is very disappointing as I know there are a lot in East Yorkshire alone which would be good to see on the app as at the moment the biggest amount of fisheries seems to be south of the Humber. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-12-25, version 1.21.0* Still the worst app I use, puts me off fishing the venues, forever having to un install and reinstall to get the app to work properly ### 1/5 — Payment model is at best annoying *2023-10-28, version 1.19.0* If fisheries want to sell their tickets via your platform and pay a fee for doing so thats up to them, you shouldnt charge a fee to the customer as well. To make it worse I’m buying 2 tickets and being charged two fees! Absolute scam and if I had any other way of purchasing tickets for this fishery I would absolutely not use the app. Fundamentally your business model is broken. What value are you giving me as a customer for the money I’m paying? You’re providing nothing that I can’t get elsewhere for free. I can research lakes on the internet, I can contact them to check availability, I can book on without paying a fee. I’d be interested to know what you feel you’re offering me in addition for giving you my money? ### 1/5 — Very poor *2023-09-11, version 1.17.0* Charging fisheries to be on your site, ok, that’s fair enough, it’s a business and they are using your platform to sell tickets. Charging anglers a subscription is just plane wrong. I could just about accept a ‘booking fee’ every time you book, but not a monthly subscription. The whole buisness plan is wrong, if it was free to the end user then you would have a good idea. With the current set up, it’s destined to fail. Make it free to the end user or this will fail. The site is hard to navigate and not very user friendly. ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-09-06, version 1.17.0* Worked once out of 5 times trying!! ### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work *2023-08-21, version 1.16.2* The concept of the Catch App is great but people will lose faith in it if it doesn’t improve soon. I’ve booked a few sessions through it this year and it’s not as easy as it should be. It’s slow and signs you out at every opportunity. Hard to see availability of lakes. Plus it’s actually hard to find lakes in a particular area. The map view is useless and other than that it just returns a list of fisheries in alphabetical order, with no indication of where they’re located. Concept of the app is great but they need lots of work on the UX/UI. ### 2/5 — Unreliable - constant issues *2023-07-07, version 1.15.1* Freezing, crashing, not processing payments….. the idea is great, but these app needs serious developer investment! Hopefully fisheries will continue to offer alternative methods of booking that being so reliant on something that is very hit and Miss. ### 2/5 — Bookings *2023-06-11, version 1.15.0* You’d think that someone would at least give you dates of lake availability instead of “no results were found for the specified conditions” what’s that supposed to mean, surely it can’t be hard to let us no when availability would be possible it’s only a calendar needed putting absolute joke ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not the best app *2026-06-18, version 2.6.8* Not the best app. If you want to make a booking you have to do It one by one and every time is charging you £2.50. ### 1/5 — Dog *2026-03-17, version 2.6.1* Absolute dog app disappoints all that use it joke ### 1/5 — What went wrong *2026-03-08, version 2.6.1* The app was great last year, now it struggles to let me reset my password and login. Will delete app and try another ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-22, version 2.5.1* Avoid - It clearly states you get a 14 day free trial but when you sign up it charges you straight away! ### 1/5 — Log on *2025-04-24, version 2.3.3* Logging on to this app is impossible. Verification codes don’t work, just hangs there. Not fit to use. ### 1/5 — No fishing in the north *2025-01-18, version 2.3.1* It appears that fishing doesn’t exist in the north east or above. Poor really ### 1/5 — Unable to book *2024-05-26, version 1.29.0* The app has rendered a venue I want to fish inaccessible, each time I attempt to book I get a blank screen in the app. The fishery will no longer accept bookings by phone or in person. Useless. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-04-04, version 1.26.0* Select venue etc, try to book and I just get the loading icon spinning and won’t work … bring back pay the bailiff on the bank method that has worked for years, trying to re-invent the wheel here. ### 1/5 — Rip off designed to milk you for more money *2024-03-17, version 1.25.0* Booking fees / needing to subscribe to avoid them is a rip off. You reply to justify it with technology in the background etc etc but this is all smoke and mirrors. Fisheries managed without your technology for hundreds of years, this app is to make the developers money and nothing else, all you do is act as a middle man in a transaction that's always worked without you. Avoid and pay the fishery directly!! ### 1/5 — Dismal app don’t waste your time *2024-03-03, version 1.23.0* Can’t log in, continually asking for validation code, when the code is send and the copied into the box field app says code isn’t valid ffs absolutely garbage ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Customer service *2026-07-09, version 2.6.9* Absolute amazing service always spot on whenever i need help and always get it sorted asap ### 5/5 — Top Customer Service *2024-04-22, version 1.26.1* Had to re-schedule a session short notice and done with app. A team member responded quickly and changed my dates so i didn't loose my money. Super! Very easy to use app. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-02-09* Huge improvements on this app in recent times! Makes it so easy for me to book without constantly ringing up or emailing all the time! ### 5/5 — Information provided *2023-08-02, version 1.16.1* Did the app quite helpful, information provide on each lake is precise. I have found lakes I wouldn’t have known about. I’d recommend. ### 5/5 — Great new update *2023-06-14, version 1.15.0* This latest app update fixes a lot of the teething issues and it great! Ignore the negative comments from earlier versions, this is excellent. Best app for finding fishing by miles! Thanks guys. You will soon be the only place to go for booking swims ### 4/5 — Fishery Management *2024-04-03, version 1.26.0* Our club was working with an online day ticket seller- they were great but went bust trying to service the anglers for a few % on booking fees. Found Catch and moved our business to this platform. Only live since March 2024 but so far it’s proven as effective from a fisheries point of view. I know there are issues getting anglers on board / signing up and navigating the site, it can only improve with time. Our club is run by volunteers, fellow anglers trying to keep the fishery in the best condition possible for all anglers. Time and effort many don’t see and even less appreciate on the ground. Theres a lot of bad reviews here, most relate to being charged a fee, for something they see the fisheries should cover ….. that just gets passed back to members and guests. This product does give the angler options and opportunities to keep their costs down. As a client, I’m happy, sure it could be better and having talked to the support staff, it will continue to improve. As a volunteer running a fishery , it’s a massive improvement on trying to find outlets to sell tickets, which get lost, funds misplaced and outlets not open at 5am when someone wakes up and wants to fish. Long review- in short - if you ain’t happy with the service, drop them a line. Then think about how the fisheries recover the costs of the alternative options. Get a grip - it’s fishing for fun stop moaning ### 3/5 — Catch *2024-04-03, version 1.26.0* Personally think the whole catch idea is a great principal and an effective way to sort out where and when you’re fishing. The only thing I would change is how the booking system works, personally I think the app could be better if you just booked to be on the venue for a certain amount of time instead of booking a peg turning up and realising that everything is against you. Giving you that feeling of defeat before you’ve wet a line ### 3/5 — Useful *2023-11-03, version 1.19.0* Pretty useful app, if you’re going to use it often it’s cheaper to subscribe instead of paying a booking fee every time. The only thing I don’t like it that it doesn't show your upcoming and past booking in the profile section. ### 2/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-06, version 2.7.0* What happened to the days of just turning up to lakes and paying for your tickets. I pick a lake I want to fish it then shows me all of Europe not the lake and if I want to take my son (15) I have to pay an adults price where the sense in that. You’ve sucked the enjoyment out of fishing and now made a pain in the rear just to go and do a sport we all enjoyed ### 2/5 — Can’t sign up *2026-06-13, version 2.6.6* Can’t sign up translation strings missing etc etc! My god just start a Claude prompt and enter audit this app to fix all the issues with AI in about an hour!!!
