I’m only at level 8 & the cost of attributes is now ridiculously high & it takes, for the most part, a day or so to complete & not much to show for the upgrade👎🏻…GEMS that are rare to obtain ((unless u play with a Credit Card!)) will speed it up.. Great game, but I can’t afford the prerequisites! Buy now..Pay later is a chocker😱! ### 3/5 — Pretty good, only a few problems *2026-01-01, version 0.71.1* Well, the game is good, you can catch bass as big as 25+ lbs. the only 2 problems I saw with it were the fact you have a number of casts you can use unless you pay for more. The casts regenerate over time so you can play without paying for anything. The second problem is that upgrading stuff costs rare gems, so after like level 3 you won’t be able to upgrade anything unless you pay. Good game, but the downsides aren’t worth it. ### 5/5 — MAJ *2025-11-23, version 0.71.1* Great game I’m addicted so many things to do. I love the competition. I can’t stop fishing. I wanna be number one my favorite app. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-10-29, version 0.71.1* Game is fun ### 4/5 — Master bass angler *2025-10-25, version 0.71.1* This is a really good game I love it it is so fun.

Played last night (6/8/25) all ok. Will not open now. Start app, goes to opening screen and then closes. ### 5/5 — Best bass *2025-06-05, version 0.70.0* I catch 10 pound bass every single time in Lake Erie! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — More game less jibber jabber *2025-12-14, version 0.71.1* Takes WAY TOO LONG to get started playing!!! ### 1/5 — Decent *2025-08-12, version 0.71.1* Game was good enjoyable for the most part. haven’t played in a few weeks and when i tried to open it it kept sending me to my home screen. I deleted it and redownloaded and all of my progress was gone ### 1/5 — Why I don’t like this game *2025-07-24, version 0.71.1* I used to like this game until today when every time I got a huge bass on he game wouldn’t let me real ### 1/5 — Update *2025-06-08, version 0.71.1* Crashes when you open! great ### 1/5 — Nul *2024-07-21* Trop compliqué ### 1/5 — Adds *2024-02-24, version 0.68.1* There are just to many adds you have to watch a 5 hour add for another cast the game is good just to many ADDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Money grabber *2023-07-21, version 0.65.0* Just wanted to play a fishing game. But it’s a typical, “win gems “ to buy more lives. Or for $4 you can have unlimited and by the way we’ll sell you gems since we hardly give you any during game play. ### 1/5 — End the intentional loss of fish!! *2021-03-02, version 0.63.0* The farther you get in the new lakes, the more the game makes you lose fish. Even if your thumb is on the reel, the slider bar still drops. The game will intentionally make you lose bigger fish as a competitive balance. I’ve casted 4 times this morning and lost 3 fish while I had the reel pressed but the slider bar still dropped as if I wasn’t pressing it. This happens way to often and discourages me from opening the app and playing this game. THIS GAME DOES INTENTIONALLY MAKE YOU LOSE FISH! DO NOT PLAY ### 1/5 — Please stop *2020-02-03* I like this game but I get asked every time I open it to give it a review, I have given several 4 star reviews but getting asked and having to deal with it is getting old, I understand that asking so often for a good review from regular players makes the game look great, however it’s kinda a dishonest way of boosting the games over all review not to mention as I stated it’s getting old so until I stop getting asked every time I open the game I’m gonna give a poor review based on the hassle Please note I have given several great reviews but this is the last time until I stop getting asked SO often **Developer response:** Howdy, angler!
