### 3/5 — How to create an account

*2024-06-17, version 1.3*

Guys the only way to create an account is by your internet provider if iPhone by safari if android by google and there go to starfish.con and there you will be able to create the account , now I don’t know how accurate the app is about finding fish

### 5/5 — Great fishing tool

*2023-07-08*

Love the app. Easiest data to use after trying many. Only add on would be if it showed the actual depths of the water.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2023-06-23*

Works as advertised. Learn what you’re looking at and reap the rewards.

### 5/5 — Killer app

*2023-05-03*

This app has made my fishing days amazing and lines tight. You have to know how to use the app that’s the only down side not easy. There should be a tutorial how to use it with in-depth examples. I had a captain that uses the app for charters show me. Great app with updated color changes and wind.

### 5/5 — Great App for predicting fishing spots

*2022-03-29*

I found the app to be a very good tool for finding areas that fish should be offshore. I have used this app 6 times in a month and the sst and chlorophyll charts were right on within 1/4 mile. And the fish were right there where they should have been! This app is defiantly a keeper compared to the others I’ve tried. Many more layers to play with and way cheaper than the others. Best bang for the buck.

### 5/5 — Make account online!

*2021-06-15*

The people who rated this 1 star have no common sense and should NOT be on a boat let alone be offshore. 

You need to make an account on SatFish’s website, once you do that you can use the app trouble free. 

People amaze me. 

Ps- thanks for the 650lb blue.

### 5/5 — Use your heads people

*2021-06-10*

For all of the people saying they “cant even create an account,” you go to the satfish website, sign up, pay for it, and then you will have an account. The app is just a tool from the website! Ive heard good things about satfish so dont leave a bad review because of user error, bad reviews hurt businesses a lot!

### 2/5 — New to offshore fishing- no help

*2020-12-21, version 1.0.3*

Not really finding how to use the app? No help using the app???

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2020-07-20*

Went to where the fish were supposed to be with no bites so went to where the warm water was on sat fish and caught an ahi!

### 1/5 — Unable to create an account.

*2020-05-19, version 1.0*

I downloaded the app and cannot create a new account. Is there a link I’m missing?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — New format

*2026-07-26*

New format unreliable and harder to download without WiFi and to navigate. Found to be wrong more than right in realtime conditions

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2026-05-02, version 2.0.0*

Menu is ineffective and navigation confusing and selective often not working. Help desk no help.

### 1/5 — new presentation

*2026-04-27, version 2.0.0*

it sucks big time 
the old one was much better

### 1/5 — No coverage outside US

*2023-06-20*

Why offer the app to Aussie consumers when you don’t provide coverage in our Region. 
A complete waste of my time!

### 1/5 — I don’t trust it.

*2022-03-08*

You can go to the website to sign up for a free trial how ever you have to put in your credit card information into what I would consider a shady looking form with no other options for payment other than a credit card. For me that just seems kind of spamy so I opted out.

### 1/5 — Can’t creat an account

*2022-02-12*

Downloaded app and has no option to creat account not a very good app if you can’t use it I’ll stick with the FishWeather app instead

### 1/5 — Satfish

*2021-08-05, version 1.1.1*

Won’t let me set up account either

### 1/5 — No way to create an account

*2021-03-07, version 1.1.1*

Downloaded on both my IPhone and iPad and there’s no way to sign up and create an account. On IPad there’s not even a login screen.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t alloy create account?

*2021-02-27*

I am experiencing same issue as others. Downloaded the app and when you open it doesn’t allow to create account? What is the solution?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-09-10, version 1.0.2*

First page requires an account login but there is no button or link to create an account.  Simply broke.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Extremely useful tool for fishing!

*2026-05-14*

This has been the best SST service we have come across.  The companion app works great as well.   Great tool to find where the Gulf Stream is and we also have had great success using the chlorophyll maps to find clear water to dive in Florida Keys.  There are a lot more features in the app that we have not even gotten into yet but excited to play with!

### 5/5 — The best mapping tool!

*2026-05-04*

We use Satfish before any offshore runs. We can’t afford to waste fuel these days and Satfish consistently puts us in the zone. Find the edges, work them and catch more fish!

### 5/5 — Best Satellite Fishing App!

*2026-04-29*

Unbelievable clear mapping, accurate, wind, super high def images. It doesn’t get better. This app hands down is the reason for MANY successful fishing trips!

**Developer response:** Love to hear it, thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — Great Tool!

*2026-04-20*

Exactly what’s needed to dial in that next offshore trip! Quick, clear, and useful!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, great to hear you're enjoying the update!

### 5/5 — Ideal for boats heading off shore.

*2025-04-28*

This app is ideal for vessels heading offshore especially in the Spring & Winter when the water temperature has a significant difference in temperature from morning to mid day.

### 5/5 — Great info and affordable

*2025-01-30*

Can finally plan a successful trip without burning $$ worth of gas chasing a 3 day old report. Or trying to decipher  secret radio chatter on multiple channels. Good accurate info  that is easy to use. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — MUST HAVE If you’re serious about catching gamefish

*2025-01-30*

After many hours spent on other SST services with outdated data and poor features, I finally found SatFish and I couldn’t have been more happy. BY FAR, the clearest and most user friendly tool for finding offshore features to target gamefish. The app is very detailed with all the tools you need to put together a successful game plan offshore. You won’t have to spend hours looking at water or asking friends where the fish are. Now the power is in your hands.

### 5/5 — Incredible Fishing Resource

*2025-01-27*

I’ve been looking for something to help me just figure out a game plan before heading offshore. Reading reports gives you an idea, but after using SatFish this season and following their tutorial videos online, this app helped me identify temp breaks and offshore conditions that has been a game-changer to my fishing style. What’s great is that I feel like more of a fisherman now who can find their own school instead of relying on radio chatter or reports from friends. 

Worth every penny in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Saves time And fuel

*2025-01-27, version 1.52*

I have been using SatFish for over a year now around Southern Cal and Baja. The maps and tools are great. They consistently put me in the zones that hold the most life and fish.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2025-01-13*

Major game changer. Since comparing where the temp breaks and water clarity breaks line up, I’ve found areas holding fish. The app makes it easy for me to do my homework. Highly recommended!
