You can still play it’s just annoying at times because you can’t see your money, or the buy button, and it’s hard to see the map, the game just needs an update. ### 1/5 — Abandoned and broken *2026-01-29, version 1.50* The game is currently unplayable as the devs have decided to stop supporting it in order to push the Apple Arcade version. Robbing the players who bought and supported the game with their purchase. How disappointing. ### 1/5 — Framing is ruined *2026-01-06, version 1.50* The framing and picture is ruined and the devs don’t seem to care. I’m not paying a subscription to play the one they actually update. ### 1/5 — Absolutely unplayable in 2025 *2026-01-04, version 1.50* The game is fun but the menus and aspect ratio seems completely outdated. Cant hardly navigate the store in-game. Got recommended this game after looking for something like A Game About Digging a Hole, and this one came up. Really wish it could be updated but I doubt it, since the EX version came out on Apple Arcade and I bet they’re not worried about this one anymore. I’m glad it’s still available in this form rather than delisted, but it’s no less forgotten. ### 1/5 — used to be 5 stars *2025-12-23, version 1.50* no longer works on any of my apple devices ### 1/5 — Broken, abandoned by devs *2025-11-29, version 1.50* Don’t buy anything from these devs they don’t fix their apps when they break. ### 1/5 — It’s okay *2025-11-03, version 1.50* Fix the cropping plz! ### 1/5 — please fix *2025-10-16, version 1.50* please fix ### 1/5 — broken *2025-10-14, version 1.50* broken and near unplayable on new devices. ### 1/5 — Please update this for current IOS Screen sizes *2025-10-04, version 1.50* Outdated screen scaling ### 1/5 — Oh no! *2025-09-21, version 1.50* They have abandoned this version! I paid for this a while ago. It was a great game. Such a shame. I feel robbed ### 1/5 — Great game, no support *2025-09-19, version 1.50* This app has been abandoned, and renders incorrectly on modern iPhones. They have fixed these issues for the Apple Arcade version, but haven’t ported back these fixes for people who paid to support the original game. ### 1/5 — Update *2025-09-08, version 1.50* Update the game already you greedy individual! ### 4/5 — Fix for recent phones *2025-09-05, version 1.50* i love this game so much have loved it since i was very young please make it compatible for modern phones!!!! i want to get back into my childhood game but it doesnt work on my phone ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-08-25, version 1.50* I used to absolutely love this game but the UI doesn’t work for new devices:’( ### 3/5 — Good game but it’s got new problems *2025-08-04, version 1.50* When I originally played it game was great and fit on screen perfectly, don’t know why but the menu in the game is super broken now and it’s all overlapping and broken. Game can still be played but needs an update so fit new phone screens. ### 1/5 — dont work *2025-07-23, version 1.50* games doesnt work ### 1/5 — Used to be great, now broken *2025-07-13, version 1.50* Just paid $3 for this and tried playing it on my iPhone 13 mini and all the fish are extremely small, the waves on the top of the water don't reach across the screen, and the pause menu is like split. I used to love this game on my old phone! Frustrating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Charged me and wrong game!!! *2026-07-16, version 1.50* This one is weird.. it isn’t the same one and charged me $3!!! ### 1/5 — Broken game *2026-05-19, version 1.50* The buttons do not work! This game is broken on the current iOS. ### 1/5 — Why not update it for modern screen sizes? *2026-05-07, version 1.50* I played this game years ago and still remember it, pleased to find it again. It is a 5 star game easy but I rate 1 star because the UI is really hard to read with modern phones resolutions and some parts of the game like the store (not in app purchases but in game items which are necessary) are on the verge of breaking as there is no buy button at all you just have to tap the lower half of the screen over and over until you hit where I’m guessing the buy button is supposed to render but it doesn’t. If this game gets patched for modern phones I’ll give it 5 stars. As it is it seems it might break tomorrow and be unusable. It also doesn’t fit in modern phone screen ratios but has black bars at the top and bottom. If that doesn’t get patched but the UI does, I’ll still rate 5 stars though. ### 1/5 — Aspect Ratio Bug on launch *2026-04-21, version 1.50* Don’t Buy!!! (4/21/26) Game is extra zoomed out and no plan to be fixed. Stopped updating 8yrs ago. Ui doesn’t work as intended bc of the aspect ratio. ### 1/5 — Falla el reescalado de las cosas *2026-04-10, version 1.50* esta completamente desigual y lo hace un poco injugable ### 1/5 — Vlambeer come on *2026-03-19, version 1.50* Fix this ### 1/5 — Please Fix The Graphics, Too Zoomed In *2026-03-01, version 1.50* I used to love this game as a lid but now when playing it on iPhone 15 the screen os too Zoomed out some graphics in the shop aren’t visible. I’d really love to play this again. Pls fix I would pay if I could 😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Game looks wrong *2026-02-21, version 1.50* Sadly game scales wrong on iphone 14 pro max, making it nearly unplayable ### 1/5 — Theft *2026-02-12, version 1.50* This game doesn’t work on modern phones. The interface overlaps and makes the game nonfunctional. It’s left here on the App Store to bait people into paying for a software that doesn’t work. There’s a remaster but it makes you pay a subscription fee to access it. They are stealing from you. Don’t buy this. I am also robbed of the product I paid for initially. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t fit properly on my screen *2026-01-31, version 1.50* I have the 13 pro and it is buggy and is formatted like an iPad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pixel framing got wonky *2025-11-15, version 1.50* I adore this game, it’s one of the few that I keep on my phone. I hadn’t played in years and just opened it recently to replay to find that somewhere along the way the scale and framing of everything got messed up. Such a shame to see such an amazing game get neglected :( I hope it’s updated one day so I can relive the magic and new players can experience it! ### 5/5 — Devs, please hear my cries *2025-07-24, version 1.50* So, let me start off by saying I absolutely love you guys and what you’ve been working on, the new game is great, but I really REALLY want the framing and cropping issues fixed on modern iPhones, please..it’s literally just my nostalgia monkey brain speaking but I really want to capture the same feeling again, at it would just make the game better probably, so please, hear my cries ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-11, version 1.50* This game is great, no predatory practices that other apps have ### 5/5 — BEST GAME IV’E EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!!! *2024-10-13, version 1.50* I love love love this game. I dare say it is better than the ex version. 100% best purchase ever made! ### 5/5 — One of my favourite iPhone games of all time! *2024-09-23, version 1.50* Such a fun game with a unique style and funny gameplay, would love a sequel or even an dosed version of this 🙌🏾 ### 5/5 — We need more!! *2024-03-07, version 1.50* This has always been my favorite casual fishing game, but it either needs an update or a sequel! Give us more! Love the game! ### 5/5 — More needed 2020 and still waiting. 2023. Please!! More. 2024! I believe. *2024-02-10, version 1.50* A truly great game. One word: More. 7 years and counting. Still waiting. You gots this. Give it to us! Update: still no more. Need more. Look at "plague inc." you could be millionaires with a cult following for years. We will pay for more!! Update May 2018: I still look all the time for more. Or a sequel. I am begging you. All of us are begging you. Where can I send the cash? Seriously. Update Oct 2018: Please? I am tossing money to worthless games. I want to give it to you. Update Dec 2019, with sugar on top? Just tell me where to donate. I’m begging you. Where can I send money? Still the best. 2020 Update July 2020. Virtual fishing. Perfect for a pandemic. Pleeease! More. I will keep begging. Update May 2023. My life cannot be complete without more. You complete me one might say. If one wanted a copyright infringement lawsuit. Please. More? Update February 2024: I believe. I still believe. ### 5/5 — A Cry for Support *2024-02-04, version 1.50* Ok, the title for this review may be a bit over exaggerated but I seriously do like the game. I just need help with what the game and its display. The buttons work great but on my screen (IPhone 12), they display only in the top right corner. Correct my if I’m wrong but I believe the game may be thinking I’m on an Apple Watch or it’s just a genuine bug. If anyone, but especially Vlambeer sees this review, please help, the game looks amazing and I’d like to enjoy it myself ### 5/5 — Catch fish and shoot them *2023-08-12, version 1.50* See how far you can get your like to go below the depths, get a bite and reel in as many fish as possible. Then throw them in the sky and shoot as many as possible to get money. Use the money to upgrade and do it again. ### 5/5 — Needs update for big screens *2023-07-15, version 1.50* Amazing game but hasn’t been updated in years. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
