Good fishing app

Cool app. Hope they continue working to make it better.

Not great

The “smart spots” never change and the phone overheats after 5 minutes if the app is open

Review

Latest update doesn’t work on my iPhone…app never gets past logo page…

Email Address issues

I really wanted to try this app by it would not accept two different email addresses I have. The APP kept telling me they’re not valid. I’ve used one of them for 20+ years.

Tried to sigh up, couldn’t

It kept asking for a payment but there was no place to enter a payment.

Great app

I use it everyday. Tides wind and areas to fish it is awesome

Pay

Why do you have to pay for fishing conditions this is stupid

Best fishing app. Tried them all.

We moved to FL from NJ and spent 2 years trying to understand inshore. This app and platform blows everything else out of the water (pun intended).

App only good for Florida

All the info is 5 years old . Nothing new in years. Middle of July 2026 no new reports. Doesn’t show anything. I waisted my money on a one year.

Game changer

I had been on charters and stuff in the past but mostly fished freshwater. This app changed my life fishing in saltwater. The smart fishing spots, depth gauge on maps, oyster bed and seagrass locations. The videos they have as a member and the public ones on YouTube helped me so much. The biggest thing that changed the way I fish was the lures they offer on fishstrong.com, the prawn jr and the 2.0 are the only lures you will ever need”and occasionally a top water). Best investment I have made, I would highly recommend anyone that is new to saltwater fishing, just moved to a new area, or anyone that just wants to catch more fish.

So much help to someone learning

The app is great but I need them to bring back the active wind directions layer so I can overlay it on spots and get a read on the wind before I travel

Can’t sign up

In a constant loading loop when trying to sign up on app, multiple tries

Doesn’t work :/

Was ready to pay for a subscription after hearing good thing online but the app doesn’t even get you past the sing in page (from multiple devices)
Guess I’m stuck with Fishbrain

Can’t sign up

I’ve been trying and trying to sign up. For a couple of weeks now. It just stays thinking and never allows me to sign up.

Don’t bother. Not free or worth the money.

$100 a year or $12.99 a month. Doesn’t do anything for you. Downloaded the Simrad or Garmin if you want good stuff. Simrad is $39.99 a year and it gives you everything. This app signs me out each time and makes me reset password every time I try to sign back in. Garbage.

Satellite images don’t load

This app was great, but now there are weekly updates to improve tracking or other issues, but they refuse to fix the biggest issue which is the google earth layer not loading. I’ve quit using the app for most searches and now just go straight to Google Earth. It’s faster and cheaper

Don’t update

Unfortunately the new update has slowed the loading of the google earth layer to the point that the app is unusable

I want to like this app

This app is pretty much unusable. I have an iPhone 17 and high speed internet but these maps will not populate at a reasonable rate. Even when I adjust settings to reduce information. It also superheats your phone and drains battery at a ridiculous rate. I’m talking like 1% every minute on the app.

Will not let me create account

Says bad email address when that is not true. The little circle thing just spins and spins

Tutorial

Every time I open the app, I have to do the tutorial, even though I complete it over and over again.
