So I go to the fishing license button and up popped a price tag that said $2.99 and that did not seem fair that you had to buy something on a kid app. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2018-07-14, version 2.0* Awesome game ### 5/5 — I fishing 4 app🌳👍. *2018-05-02, version 2.0* The app is cool🌳😎👍. ### 4/5 — A lot of fun !!! Just a couple of problems so far *2017-12-17, version 1.5* Over all, the game is fun. The only real problems that I've found is "casting accurately". We need a way to place a guide dot on the water to tell us where we want our bate to land. Also, it seems that I purchased a few lures and now it shows them as not purchased. I would rate it a 5/5 if the problems were fixed. ### 2/5 — Fun but keeps closing while I play *2017-12-04, version 1.5* This game is great but every time I am playing a tournament the game shuts down and I lose my progress in the tournament ### 3/5 — Potential if patched *2017-09-07, version 1.5* Pretty fun game in free fish mode. Can not complete a tournament without crashing. Would like to suggest adding a drag system for reels and maybe adding different line availability as well as rod and reel combos. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — :( *2024-06-15, version 3.0* I launched my phone across the car and cracked the window. ### 1/5 — Trash game *2022-06-22, version 3.0* It is hard to play and when I do tilt my phone back to set the hook, he yells set the hook even though I’m tilting it backwards! Don’t download unless you want to get annoyed! ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2021-07-01, version 2.0* I can’t even real the fish in all they do is get away and when it says set the hook it doesn’t let me set the hook ### 1/5 — iFishing Has Not Changed Over The Years *2020-08-16, version 2.0* This game has always had great potential, but never delivered. I have been playing this game since the iPhone3 days. It still freezes up in the middle of gameplay in 2020. You can’t get consistent gameplay, yet the developer want you to make I game purchases. I’ll pass. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2020-06-06, version 2.0* Keeps freezing was my favorite game with I was young ### 1/5 — Stupid *2020-05-31, version 2.0* You have to pay to get a license so that you play the game ### 1/5 — Garbage *2017-01-29, version 1.3* This game crashes often and is unrealistic. U can catch 25 pound bass. Dumb. And u need money just to buy a new lure?! Worst game ever ### 1/5 — Ok *2016-09-20, version 1.1* It would be higher rating but you have to use cash to buy the fishing license. That's just bull. You should be able to use the coins you earn. ### 2/5 — Bad line *2022-07-29, version 3.0* Whenever letting the fish take line it’s like it’s 20 ft of line ### 2/5 — Bummer!!!! *2020-05-21, version 2.0* This was my all time favorite game and was so glad to see the original was back but unfortunately both new and old programs freeze continually on my updated iPhone 10. So disappointing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 3 *2025-12-01, version 3.0* i love this gam ### 5/5 — Best game!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-08-16, version 3.0* I would recommend playing it dude it’s really fun ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2025-05-22, version 3.0* Hardly ever works right if at all I put this at five so devs would see it and do something ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-06-23, version 3.0* Fun game no wifi always good to play ### 5/5 — Fishing *2024-01-25, version 3.0* I really enjoy this game ### 5/5 — The best game ever made in history of games *2023-08-10, version 3.0* Amazing game this is for the haters if you don’t like the game your messed up ### 5/5 — Unlock thingy *2023-04-30, version 3.0* I just started this game. I found it very good. The only complaint I have is quite often when I go to reel my unlock screen thing pops up and messes things up.
