### 2/5 — Disappointed but hopeful.

*2015-09-22*

Biggest issue! This is a paid app. Not an upgrade or lite version. Why do I get an ad?
Other issues include:
Less than realistic depth and casting perception. 
Difficult directional control casting. 
Background assistant should be optional. I don't need someone incorrectly telling me my fish is to small when it's actually the wrong species. 
Never in any tournament does timeout occur with a fish on line. Nough said there. 

On the favorable side. 
Graphic backgrounds are nice. 
Most of the time landing the fish is ok. Just ok. Some timing issues and line break conditions need help. 
I will continue to use the app in hopes that future revisions will make this more enjoyable.

### 2/5 — Shuts off in the middle

*2015-07-01*

It's good ! BUT it shuts down in the middle of anything !!  Very frustrating!  Paid $2.99 and can't even play it !  And no "contact" option to contact technical support !  Need update or something to fix !  Will change review if this gets fixed

### 2/5 — FIX THIS GAME!!

*2014-08-20*

FIX THIS GAME!! Love the past games. Allow people to drive boat use fish finder. Only get to use a lure 1 tournment and it's gone witch is bogus! Crashes constantly. Fix this game and it's another 5 star game

### 2/5 — Pretty but basically a broken game

*2014-03-31*

The game looks pretty, however the game is basically broken... If you catch a fish that puts you near the top of the tourney, simply close the app and come back in ten min and presto, you have won.  The timer does not stop when you close the app.

The other thing is that for any fish, hook it, let it take line past 55 and then reel in.  Basically works every time regardless of fish species

Hopefully it will improve in future updates, but for now I am regretting not purchasing ifishing 1 instead....

### 2/5 — ...

*2014-01-18, version 1.2*

It was OK until the "Kids Mode" update was released. Please fix crash when I go to change lures.

### 1/5 — Insulting to be honest

*2019-03-04*

Bought it for use on Apple TV. Could barely use it and before even catching a fish had to give up.  The graphics, if you could even call them that, are a hideous blend with real video that just doesn’t work. Going to try and get a refund for sure.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2017-07-07, version 1.5*

I tried to play on an IPhone 7 and it keep crashing in career mode.

### 1/5 — NEEDS TO BE FIXED

*2015-09-02*

I loved this game to death 
All up until I had the game shut off and bring me back to the home screen
3 times I was about to win something
And it exited out and I lost all of the progress I worked to get

FIX THIS GAME
UPDATE IT SO IT DOESNT GLITCH OUT

I love this game
But I can't play it until it gets fixed

FIX THIS GAME NOW!!!!!

### 1/5 — Could be good, but unplayable

*2015-07-03*

This app is literally almost unplayable. I have yet to get through a ten minute tournament without the app closing and bumping me back to my iPhone's main screen. Considering tournament mode is the only mode in the game that lets you unlock items through cash earnings, the game can therefore be deemed "unbeatable". Also, even if the game didn't crash, the developer has removed the beloved boat mode that was in the first I Fishing which gave about twice as much depth and strategy to the game. Why he would remove such a nice aspect of gameplay is beyond me. I can only assume he has done so to make a quick three dollars. I have an updated iPhone 6 that I take care of, so if I have problems running the game so will you. It's a shame, the game had real potential.

### 1/5 — Oh my god

*2015-04-08*

If you would fix the crashes this would be an awesome game!! It's hard to finish tournaments!!!

### 1/5 — Complete Garbage - NEVER FINISH A TOURNY

*2014-12-22*

This app closes constantly.  I have not been able to finish a single tournament.  No contact information for support at all - just another thief putting out an unchecked app that doesn’t work.

Robbing you blind, 2.99 at a time.  Stay away.  ZERO STARS

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-10-01, version 1.2*

Once you start everything is fine then once you reach the $1000 prize tournaments it crashes every time I want $ back

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2014-07-20*

I wish I would have never paid for this app. Looked cool but very disappointed in it especially sense the other ones by the same guy were great. This one just makes you mad, you get half way through a tournament and it crashes. So sad!!!!

### 1/5 — They Ruined It

*2014-04-11*

Don't waste your money on this "improved" version. It crashes consistently during play. Tournaments are 10 minutes long and unlike previous versions of this game you may no longer chose where you wish to fish, which challenge to fish, nor can you fish another spot during tournament play. You must win tournament prize money to buy more lures, poles, and fishing line. However these upgrades are $1000's if not $10,000's of dollars and the max you win at a tournament is $300. The only positive thing about this "new" version of the app is kids mode. But seriously it is so not worth wasting real money on. Buy the other two apps not this one. They ruined it.

### 1/5 — Ifishing3

*2013-11-01*

Fix the reeling handle. It only spins after several try's & by then the fish is gone.

### 5/5 — 5 stars to be seen

*2017-08-23*

It will work for a Minute then it stops working please fix cause it seems like an awesome game

### 5/5 — Please fix Apple TV 3 glitch!!!!!

*2015-01-01*

I have Apple TV 3 and the rod doesn't work on my iPhone 5.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2014-06-02, version 1.2*

I have always thought that the ifishing series was the best and the most fun to play. 
This last instalment of the series is mind blowing, talk about taking apps to the next level. :-)
There are a few little issues that I am sure the developers will address, their support has been excellent in the past. :-)
Thanks to everyone for all your hard work, it really shows that you care. :-)

### 5/5 — The best!

*2014-01-03*

It's winter in PA... windchill of 20 below zero... And I'm FISHING! Lol. 

This game is absolutely fantastic. Graphics and sounds are great. HD movie backgrounds are super realistic, and catching fish is fun!

There are a lot of baits and lures, lines, and poles to choose from. You win money playing tournaments to buy better gear. 

Some fish put up an incredible fight. I caught a 44" northern pike that took me 4 minutes to reel in. Everything is really realistic (other than how quickly you catch fish). But the tournaments are 10 minutes long, so you have to catch quickly. It's more fun that way. 

I'm playing on iOS7 on my iPhone 4S with no glitches or app crashes after days of fun. 

I'm soooo glad I bought this game over the other older ones out there that haven't been kept up. 

The iFishing series seems to be updated often, which is a huge plus! And I would bet this is the best one in the series. 

I'm happy to be the first to review this!

### 5/5 — Excellent app! Needs 1 fix!

*2013-10-21*

This is one of the best fishing simulators out there! I played the first i fishing and the saltwater edition. This game is so realistic and fun to play to pass time. One thing they should fix is the occasional crashes. Other than that its a must buy app!

### 4/5 — It shuts of all the time

*2015-06-05*

Whenever I have a darn fish on The game shut off during tournaments.

### 4/5 — Crashes

*2015-04-11*

This game is so much fun and I definitely recommend getting it. I hope that this review is actually read by the game developers because this game would be so much better if It didn't crash

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2014-03-26*

Love the app! I bought a new lure yesterday and for some reason it's gone today, I can't use it. Why did that happen? Can you only buy the lures for one time use?

### 3/5 — Crash app

*2014-05-06*

Crashes all the time. Plz fix this issue or I want my money back. This game would be great if it worked.

### 3/5 — Great

*2013-10-17, version 1.0*

Can not change lures. Tackle box icon is covered by casting icon. Please fix. Using iPhone 4S, iOS 7. Awesome app besides that
