## What is Simplistic Fishing?

Know the lake before you launch.
 
Simplistic Fishing puts real fishing structure on your phone — brush piles, ledges, rock, roadbeds, channel swings, and the offshore spots most anglers idle right past. Search your lake, open the map, and go fish.
 
ALL-NEW APP. EVERY U.S. LAKE.
This version is a complete redesign — cleaner, faster, and easier on the water. And it brings our biggest upgrade yet: you can now open ANY lake in the United States. Every U.S. lake comes with satellite imagery and Garmin® HD Contours, so there's always a real map under you.
 
COMPLETED LAKES: THE FULL BREAKDOWN
Lakes marked "Complete" have been fully broken down by our team. Open one and every waypoint from the breakdown is already on the map — rock, brush, humps, ledges, points, roadbeds, bridges, laydowns, hazards, and more — each labeled so you know exactly what you're fishing.

ANY OTHER LAKE: BUILD YOUR OWN
If we haven't broken your lake down yet, you're not locked out. Open it in the map view, study the contours and satellite imagery, and drop your own custom waypoints. And tap Request Lake to tell us where to go next — angler requests drive our breakdown list.
 
WHAT'S IN YOUR POCKET
• Expert waypoints on every completed lake, labeled by structure type
• Filter waypoints to match your pattern — brush, channels, drops, humps, ledges, rock, and more
• Favorite the spots that produce, and clear or manage them anytime
• Custom waypoints on any U.S. lake — name them, color them, keep them
• Export favorites and custom spots as .GPX for Garmin®, Lowrance®, and Humminbird® units
• Fishing-first weather: wind, pressure, cloud cover, and a daily fishing outlook
• 7 map styles, including satellite, satellite/streets, contours, and dark mode
 
PLANS
• Single Lake — $9.99 one-time: 30 days of access to one completed lake. No auto-renew — we send a reminder 5 days before it expires.
• All-Lakes Monthly — $19.99/month
• All-Lakes Annual — $144.99/year (save $94.89 a year vs. monthly)
 
All-lakes subscriptions unlock every completed lake, expert waypoints and filters, Garmin® HD Contours on all U.S. lakes, and waypoint export. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
 
Your lake. Decoded. Download Simplistic Fishing and know where to cast before you ever leave the ramp.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time or money..

*2026-08-07*

I’ve never taken time to write a review but this App is a joke. Truly pathetic how little of effort these guys put into each lake. I mean genuinely piss poor… Truly watch a youtube video on how to find offshore structure or how to read contour on a map and save your money.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-06-07*

Tricks you into setup then wants money. 🙄

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-04-03*

I bought the map for Bridgeport lake and I never got it it’s been almost a month

**Developer response:** Not sure what you mean by bought the lake and never got it.  Did you purchase the lake using the app or did you purchase digital files?  If you purchased digital files, check you spam folder they likely went there.  Also send me your order number and I will send you the files again.

### 1/5 — A complete rip-off

*2026-02-28*

The app does nothing more than show you structure put out by your State Department of Natural Resources, along with a wind/weather services that are not accurate. The developer posted this in the local Facebook pages surrounding Santee Cooper, with the hopes of ripping people off. Do not fall for this overpriced, falsely advertised, trash app. You get way more info in the Humminbird, Active Captain, and/or C-Map mapping apps.

**Developer response:** Sorry you were so disappointed.  This inlcudes much more than the state fish attractors, we spent several hours breaking down each lake.

### 5/5 — Nice App

*2025-06-24*

Easy to use and 
great for finding those secret spots.

### 2/5 — App no longer opens

*2025-06-17*

App says over space quota 512MB, I’ve cleared cache and deleted other apps. It worked over weekend but something must have happened.

**Developer response:** Paul - So sorry for the troubles.  We ran into an issue with the database over the weekend.  This has been corrected and you should be able to access the app now.  If you would like, we would be more than happy to ship you a free SD card for your graph.  Just email me the lake you want to tyler@simplisticfishing.com.  Thank you for supporting us!

### 5/5 — Great waypoints

*2025-01-13*

I like being able to actively track my position in relation to the waypoints.  Hope to try more of it out this week on the lake. So far so good!

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2025-01-12*

Best lake breakdowns out there very helpful

### 5/5 — A MUST!!

*2025-01-12*

By far the best fishing app. So easy to see all my saved lakes and easy to use
