## What is iFiske?

Are you an angler? Want to fish in Sweden? Don't know where to buy the fishing license?

Then use the app from iFiske! With the app you can search for and read about hundreds of fishing areas in Sweden. You can buy the permit online and get your personal fishing license digitally directly delivered to the app.

In Sweden it is mandatory by law to have a valid fishing license in most waters. Recreational fishing in Sweden is subject the laws of the Swedish fisheries legislation and its associated regulations, and violation may lead to public prosecution.

With iFiskes app, you can find fishing areas by searching by name or looking at our map . The app helps you to buy your own fishing permit using your phone. For all the areas listed in the iFiske app, you can look at pictures from the area, read descriptions of the lake / river, review the fishing rules, see the presence of fish species, and much more! In other workds, this is the perfect tool to plan your fishing trip to Sweden.

In addition to buying permits and searching for fishing areas, you can also manage your purchased fishing licenses and review the rules that apply. The app content is available offline, eg when you have no mobile coverage, which comes handy if you are fishing in a remote area.

The app also contains detailed descriptions of the most common freshwater fishes in Sweden, and articles about common sport fishing methods. 

For iFiske affiliated organizations there are in-app features for inspections of fishing permits and lists of all fishing licenses sold. Checks of permits can easily be done by scanning a QR code, or by entering the unique fishing card number. These features are only available to logged-in users that are connected to an organization that sells fishing licenses via iFiske.

NOTE: If you are missing YOUR favorite fishing area in the app, please do not give the app a bad rating just because of that. We CAN only sell fishing licenses for those organisations that joined the iFiske service.

### 1/5 — Schlechte App

*2026-07-10, version 5.4*

Suchfunktion: bei Eingabe eines Sees , gelangt man nicht auf den See und der dazugehörigen angelkarte sondern zu zig ähnlich klingenden Angel Vereinen und Seen 
Aber nicht zu Informationen zu diesem See 
Karte:
Auf der Karte kann man seine Position zwar sehen und Seen der Nähe auswählen, aber dann sind die Informationen lückenhaft!
Blaue Gewässer
Gelbe Gewässer 
Familiengewässer
Wie und wo erkennt man sie? 
Dies wird nicht angezeigt 
Welche Karte ist wo erforderlich? Auch nicht erkenntlich! 
Sprachauswahl:
Ist man etwas tiefer in Ordner eingestiegen und wählt eine Sprache aus gelangt man auf eine andere Seite 

Über Safari auf der fiskekort gibt es mehr Informationen 

Alles in allem 
Schlechte App!!

### 2/5 — Anmeldung NICHT möglich

*2024-06-14, version 5.3*

E-Mail bereits Regestriert, Anmeldung nicht möglich…zum Glück gehtves auch ohne Anmeldung

### 5/5 — Sollte es sich in Deutschland geben

*2022-08-10, version 4.18*

Einfach zu bedienen. Leichtes auffinden des passenden Gewässers und alles digital bezahlt und bei sich, was man braucht. So sollte es sein!

### 4/5 — Bin Begeistert,… alter Schwede

*2022-07-19, version 4.18*

Habe die app in Südschweden genutzt. Die Buchung der Karten (Boot und Angelkarte) hat prima geklappt. Man kann also erst an das Gewässer fahren, gucken ob es einem gefällt und dann die Karte online Kaufen, dauert ca 2 min. Das Formular für die Angelkarte ist sehr einfach gehalten und gezahlt wird über Paypal oder Kreditkarte. Es sind alle verfügbaren Gewässer auf einer Landkarte abgebildet.

Auch die verantwortlichen Telefonkontakte der jeweiligen Gewässer waren zu jeder zeit Freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Einen Fünften Stern würde ich geben wenn die Positionsbestimmung funktionieren würde. Man kann zwar sehen wo die entsprechenden Gewässer sind, man sieht aber nicht wie weit man selbst davon entfernt ist. Dafür habe ich dann Google Maps genutzt.

Aber alles in allem, GROSSER Daumen nach oben

### 5/5 — Klasse App

*2020-06-16, version 4.14.6*

Super App, solltet Ihr auf jeden Fall haben, wenn Ihr einen Angelurlaub plant.

### 3/5 — Geht so

*2019-08-10, version 4.12*

Leider ist das wesentliche auf englisch oder schwedisch was die Handhabung erschwert.

### 1/5 — Schade

*2015-09-17, version 3.1.0*

Schade, das diese App nur auf Schwedisch funktioniert und nicht auf Deutsch oder Englisch funktioniert. Wäre für eine geplanten Schwedenurlaub super...
