### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP

*2018-07-25, version 1.2.2*

This app is amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-07-07, version 1.2.2*

Don’t ever get on Facebook when bored anymore

### 5/5 — Great Fishing App

*2018-06-25, version 1.2.1*

Great Application, love being able to see suggested bait usage for individual waterways. Just wish that you could add the types of bait that work the best for you in that particular waterway!

### 5/5 — Best app for an angler out there!

*2018-06-01, version 1.2.1*

I’ve looked at and tried almost every fishing app out there, I stopped once I found NetFish. It is similar in a lot of way to Fishbrain but is absolutely free and better (in my opinion). The free info is this apps best downloadable point. It gives you everything you need, the picture of the catch, the lake, the day, what it was caught on, and so on. You would have to pay to get all that info on Fishbrain. This app, along with its partnership with iBobber, is hands down my go to app for fishing post and info. Oh! I almost forgot, NetFish also has articles and videos to boot, something you don’t see with those other guys, and let’s not forget about the reelwards program. A free app, that gives and gives, is a okay in my book. Great job NetFish!

### 5/5 — NetFish is the best!!

*2018-05-29, version 1.2.1*

I love this freaking app! I’ve found so many ponds around my house that I didn’t know about. And I’ve caught some biggin’s out on the lake because it says the best spots to fish. I love NetFish.

### 1/5 — Horrible app... crashes

*2021-04-09, version 1.4.2*

Can’t even input personal profile!

### 1/5 — Never even consider downloading this

*2020-06-30, version 1.4.1*

Every time you try to search a waterway it comes up with no results I would give it no stars if I could

### 1/5 — Great app but...

*2017-12-01, version 1.1.2*

I really enjoy many of the features of this app. The ability to connect with other fishermen and share photos, tips and stories is great. I have had nothing but trouble with the rewards. The response time and the loopholes as well as changing the amount of points rewarded and needed to redeem is kind of ridiculous. I redeemed points that they claim were obtained “illegitimately” and was not given my reward. I continued to obtain points “legitimately” and tried to redeem them and was not given my reward or the points back. The rewards system on this app is a joke. Don’t bother spending the time and effort on the rewards. You will be disappointed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. To date we have processed thousands of dollars in rewards to users that complete legitimate tasks on Netfish. We can't process rewards for users that have obtained points illegitimately. First and foremost Netfish is a FREE fishing app that helps anglers be more successful fishing. Our rewards program is an added bonus to earn free gear in the process. 

If you have questions or concerns like this and need us to research this in more detail we'll be happy to address them. Please reach out to us at netfish@reelsonar.com.

### 2/5 — Issue with updating profile

*2021-04-18, version 1.4.2*

When I try to update profile the app turns off.  Unable to edit profile.

### 2/5 — Cool idea.  Runs a bit slow on my iPhone 6 and doesn’t seem to honor privacy settings.

*2019-08-08, version 1.4.1*

I tested uploading a few catch photos and set the privacy to friends only but I started receiving likes from strangers so who knows how much personal info this app is sharing?  I don’t trust that what I have marked private is being treated that way.

### 2/5 — Multiple Issues

*2017-09-21, version 1.0.9*

So let me start by saying that I understand this is a free app. Unfortunately you get what you pay for (or didn't pay for). The app requires you to give details about your catch, which would be fine if they had everything you needed. Multiple major brands are missing (Bass Pro included), so when I went to post about my catch I had to pick a bunch of gear I didn't use. This renders an app like this nearly useless. If the point is to share information then there needs to be custom fields or a way to omit details that don't list your gear. I also found the map feature restrictive and difficult to use. I searched for a well known lake in my area and it was the very last choice in the list of about 15 other lakes with the same name (no location info included) so I had to search 15 times to find the right one. Again I know this is a free app and it will get better, but for now this app did nothing but make me run back to my other fishing apps.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. These all seem relevant and make sense. Apologies for your first experience with the app. We will make those changes immediately. Regarding your search for the waterways. Lake names are definitely reused in each state and why we put the state of the lake next to each search result. When you typed in your lake did you see the state next to it?  I would like to get more information on your experience searching for the waterway in question. If you could email us at netfish@reelsonar.com we'd love to learn more about how you'd like to see the map.

### 3/5 — Best app for any fisherman of any skill level

*2019-07-21, version 1.4.1*

There are a lot of pluses to this app but they need to put in some work into the catch register. If you want an easy way to upload a catch but without rewards I would suggest Fishbrain

### 4/5 — Good but not great

*2022-07-23, version 1.4.4*

I really like this app it’s like a social media platform for people who enjoy fishing. The only thing I didn't like about this app is that when you try and post a location of the fish you caught I couldn’t find any of the ponds i fish at so I have to estimate where it is in a map. But other than that I love this app.

### 4/5 — Good app, not great

*2017-12-27, version 1.1.5*

I (hawkman1783) have recently gotten this app, and I think that it is pretty good. I just think that the points you receive are very small to how much it takes to get anything. I also think that some of the formatting could be improved. Very good app over all.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. If you could share what you meant by formatting we would love to address that in a future build but not sure what you're referring to. Thanks in advance.

### 4/5 — Good app.... but

*2017-11-05, version 1.1.1*

Nice and free, just not a lot of lakes near my area.

### 5/5 — NetFish

*2019-01-28, version 1.2.9*

You gotta love a fishing community app! Everyone on this site truly loves fishing! So glad my son showed me this. Get the app &enjoy!

### 5/5 — Great App, use it daily

*2019-01-04, version 1.2.8*

This is a great, FREE app. I use it daily. I post the fish I catch, and can see ones that others catch. I don’t use many of the other features right now. I collect points and have redeemed them for multiple rewards (ibobber, 3 mystery bags) shipping on those is $6 which isn’t bad. I have competed in there competitions and won a free reel. Even without the ‘reelwards’ I would still use the app, but they do help me coming back to earn points.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2018-10-31, version 1.2.4*

Points and rewards. Fishing is fun. Winning stuff for it is even better!

### 5/5 — Awesome app but

*2018-10-16, version 1.2.4*

I wish there was a way to add fish to a lake. Cause I’ve spent my time fishing a lot and caught all kinds of fish but on the app it only shows three or four species in the lake I’ve caught

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-09-16, version 1.2.4*

Amazing app if you like to fish u need to get this app

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2018-09-01, version 1.2.3*

Amazing app tells ware to fish and what to use and what kind of fish

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-08-24, version 1.2.3*

Love using this app with my iBobber. Works great

### 5/5 — Fun to share your catch and get rewards for doing so!

*2018-08-11, version 1.2.3*

I like taking pictures of my catch but sometimes I just don’t take pictures or I don’t share them this app gives an incentive to do so it is just very hard to save up to things like the i bobber

### 5/5 — This is a fun app great community

*2018-08-06, version 1.2.3*

Netfish has been a ton of fun. Just found it a couple of months ago and interacting with the community and getting gear for posting your catches is a bonus. I’ve been able to cash in reelwards twice now. Just have to catch, post and interact.

### 5/5 — Problem

*2018-08-05, version 1.2.3*

When I catch a fish using live bait, it prompts me to enter a lure when no lure is used and it is required.  Also the lure, rod, and reel selection is not working on mobile data for me.  It does not let me select anything.  Other than that great app
