Please fix this! ### 2/5 — In-game purchase bugs *2026-05-06* I played this game as a kid. I wanted to play it now because of the nostalgia I want to see all the new fishes and maps.. The game changed a lot, I like the graphics, the classic game style, and the option to do multiplayer.. HOWEVER, one major issue I am a little impatient…. so I bought some perks. I bought the $4.99 sword, $1.99 of the 100,000 coins, the diamond driller for $2.99, and another thing I got but it was in the extras section. Anyways, it shows that I own it but when my game crashed and go back to check. My coins are gone and I don’t own anything anymore. I have also read the other comments and other people are having the same trouble as me. I followed the exact steps the developer’s instructions were for this issue.. but I don’t have faith of it. I feel much safer sending a request to Apple for refund instead of this. Rather be safe than sorry. ### 3/5 — Bug Loja *2026-01-22* I love this game, very nostalgic. But there is a bug on the shop, when i try to buy the 400m line the game just crash and closes, i cant advance. Fix this pleaseeeeeeeeee ### 2/5 — Game crash *2025-12-20, version 2.10.3* The game keeps on crashing on me, every time I’m in the shop it keeps kicking me out of the game witch is kind of obnoxious since I have spent actual money on the game and more than half the time I can’t use the coins that I purchased because it keeps crashing out and the game just kicks me out all together. If you guys could please look into this I would greatly appreciate it. I would give this game a 5 star because I really do love it but I can’t since it crashes so much ### 3/5 — Crash *2025-04-18, version 2.10.3* I always loved this game. But not if crashes out when I try and purchase the second weight level. I re-downloaded and same thing. Disappointed! ### 5/5 — Jogo muito legal *2025-04-17* Jogava na minha infância, fico feliz q ainda existe🥺🥺 ### 4/5 — Great Game, but I just wasted a lot of time *2025-02-21, version 2.10.3* I have played this game for a long time and I really enjoy it. However, recently I purchased both the crypt voyager and the Vampire Hunting Ship and I was still unable to travel to either Vampire Island or Dungeon Island despite the Vampire Hunting Ship specifically saying that it is for sailing to vampire island. I spent a lot of time getting enough money to buy them and I’m pretty annoyed about that, hence why this review is 4 stars instead of 5. ### 2/5 — Missing fish *2025-02-10, version 2.10.2* Please fix Poseidon shrine. ### 3/5 — Pay to win *2025-01-26, version 2.10.2* I was about to hop in 2 new islands but i cant access both because both require ikazuchi-no-katto so game should make it require coins instead of paying for real money but coins can be painful to grind such like kusanagi-no-dynamito require 250k coins instead of $7 real money ### 3/5 — Kicks you out *2025-01-25, version 2.10.2* Love the game but keeps kicking me out randomly. ### 5/5 — Crash *2025-01-22, version 2.10.2* Great app but it’s crashing everytime I try to buy weight upgrade 4 on shipwreck cove… please fix this! ### 2/5 — Should have an option to turn off tilt *2025-01-16, version 2.10.2* Tilt mode really sucks, you should be able to tap and drag to control your fishing hook. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes, trashes pay to win *2026-07-21, version 2.21.1* This is a dead corpse being drained of its blood. ### 1/5 — Classic game but deprecated and not actually maintained *2026-05-19, version 2.21.1* I hate to say that but it crashes all the time and some ads LITERALLY never finish and cant be skipped. Softlocked* by ads… yeah no thanks ### 1/5 — Katana goes back and forth between being purchased and not. *2026-05-17, version 2.21.1* Annoyed. I've been playing this since i was a kid i just want the stupid sword ### 1/5 — Constant Crashing *2026-05-16, version 2.21.1* Constant Crashing and manipulation tactics. Can't even pay for the ad bonuses. Constant crashing on world map. ### 1/5 — It crashes every time I try to use the fishing shop unplayable *2025-12-14, version 2.10.3* The title says it all ### 1/5 — 20y later and worse than ever before *2025-08-27* I loves this game as a kid and was excited to redownload to see how it improved only to discover that there was no improvement other than slight animation and content updates. In fact my progress is frozen 10 min in and keeps throwing the error "A new savegame has been detected from the Cloud. Restarting the game to reflect the new savegame..." Deleting/redownloading the app does nothing. Signing out/in of gamecenter does nothing. There are no account options ingame. Buying from the shop does nothing save when you close and reopen the app. I am permanently stuck at 7 fish discovered 10 min in for the entire gamecenter profile. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Rigged *2025-08-21, version 2.10.3* If you catch the last fish on the edge of the screen you are guaranteed to hit a mine and lose everything ### 1/5 — Lost 3 dollars *2025-04-27, version 2.10.3* I bought the “Big-O-Lantern” for 3 dollars. I got it at first but went to use it on the same account on my iPad. I didn’t get it and I sent the request to buy it on my iPad. And lost it on my phone. So basically this game scammed me out of 3 dollars. Reported this to Apple via the wallet app. Hoping to get it refunded or the in game item soon. ### 1/5 — Crashes after I press play *2024-09-18, version 2.9.1* I love this game but I can’t play it anymore because it crashes immediately. I have spent a good bit of money on this game so I really don’t want to have to reinstall it ### 1/5 — Something’s wrong with this game *2024-07-16, version 2.9.1* Everytime I’m about to play this game literally malfunctions can somebody at least fix this game app for good cause I’m not kidding ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of my very first games *2026-04-03, version 2.20.0* One of the first apps I got on my first iPhone and it still bangs over a decade later. I love the ad option for extra gold. ### 5/5 — Sword Issue *2026-01-28, version 2.10.3* I love this game but I bought the upgrade sword (ikazuchi?) and started exploding when I cut through dynamite. It is supposed to cut through everything… I got it cos the last sword did cut through dynamite but took ages to cut through fish at Poseidon. So I wanted to get through it all easier. ### 5/5 — Excelente, *2026-01-02* Melhor jogo da minha infância, impossível enjoar. ### 5/5 — There’s a bug *2025-10-19, version 2.10.3* Amazing game, played for many years now, but like many others my game keeps crashing in the shop when trying to upgrade my gear. I only started playing again recently so i’m not sure if this is a new issue or not. ### 5/5 — Should be a top 10 game *2025-10-06, version 2.10.3* I played this game growing up and i thought it was great and ahead of it time. Still in 2025 it’s developers update it and it deserves to be a top 10 game. This game is top tier, fun and complex. Perfect game. Keep it up developers 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Reset progress *2025-08-30, version 2.10.3* I wish there was an option to reset your progress ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-07-26, version 2.10.3* Played when I was a kid, revisited now and it’s still fun! ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2025-06-01, version 2.10.3* Goated game ### 5/5 — Keep up the good work *2025-04-30, version 2.10.3* This the only game that don’t shove adds in your face ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2025-04-18, version 2.10.3* This game will forever be legendary for me. I was young, now Im not so young and I still enjoy it like it was yesterday. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
