### 5/5 — Good game

*2022-03-03*

Love the game it’s so goooooodddd!!

### 5/5 — My sister is dying

*2018-07-09, version 2.0*

Hey this is a great game

### 1/5 — Ifishing hd lite

*2016-02-24, version 1.8*

Said it would work for iPad with iOS 5.1.1 but it's a lie because every time I open it, it minimizes shortly after opening it.

### 1/5 — A Big Joke

*2014-08-26, version 1.7*

My dad wrote two reviews on the game and neither one was posted, that alone tells you it's a big joke. There is no tournament, you play a preset computer game. Watch how it cheats you, lol, and the guy that narrates the game, "there's a fish" lol, like your going to catch a bird. This game is all wrong.

### 4/5 — Add more fish please!

*2014-03-25, version 1.7*

Can you guys add trout and more lures for me, I would give you 5 stars for a new update that has trout.

### 3/5 — Ok app, but...

*2013-09-01*

In game states that I have unlocked a new lake, but it never lets me select it.  Still stuck on the first lake, and it gets boring real fast.  Please fix lake selection for iPad.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-07-24, version 1.7*

Best game ever!!!!!!
