### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-08-26, version 1.2.9*

Over time this app has improved immensely.  It’s so easy to use and navigating the different fisheries is great.  A few of the lakes I fish use this app so it makes booking so easy, pick your venue, pick your swim and you’re away. 
Even having gate codes at your finger tips rather then scrolling through emails and texts. Highly recommended

### 1/5 — Rigid system

*2025-04-22, version 1.2.6*

My 3rd time booking via Swimbooker. It take away control from the Angler and gives control to the fishery. I had a shoulder injury and couldn’t fish. Swimbooker said, I needed to give 2 weeks notice to cancel or request a new date. Fishery cancelled with no refund. In a time of pain both Swimbooker and Trent View let me down with no offer of a refund even with the offer of evidence. App deleted and will never use again. I would sooner sell my tackle than use Trent View or Swimbooker again.

### 5/5 — Leader of the angling apps

*2025-03-23, version 1.2.6*

Better Tech.
Better Staff.
Better Experience.

Swimbooker have taken this app to another level, great work!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2025-01-02, version 1.2.3*

Absolutely awful app. Website is just as useless. Waited 3.5 hours in a queue for the payment page to crash twice. Now it’s showing a ‘there was an issue’ message over and over again. Now having to restart the wait all over and I assume I won’t get anything now on my lake of choice. Thanks a bunch swim booker. If you can’t take the pressure- get out of the game!

### 5/5 — Best App in the game

*2024-10-22, version 1.2.3*

So easy to use and with so many added benefits, there is not a better session booking app out there!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App! Really user friendly.

*2024-07-23, version 1.2.2*

I've been using this app for over a year and can honestly say this is the future of fishing. With fisheries being so busy nowadays, this certainly organise/combat that issue. It's super user-friendly, has nice features, and is the future of fishing.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-03-24, version 1.2.1*

Good app and easy to track your catches and look for lakes outside your normal area, should have a ability to add or recommend lakes even if there not bookable online. Great way to find those hidden way lakes that not many know about like my two locals. Could become the main app for all anglers if it tried to add more of a social side for example comments, messages, likes etc

### 5/5 — Finally

*2023-11-17, version 1.1.8*

Finally a app that makes fishing easy 👌🏻

### 3/5 — Booking is not what it seems

*2023-09-24, version 1.1.6*

Amazing app I’ve book now two months running but showing lakes that are members only is a little cheeky…. I want to travel all over to all different lakes me and two other people that’s 2+1= quick maths!!! But honestly if the water is members only you should separate them both!!!! Day/night tickets to members only lakes!! Time and time I click on a water look at it think it looks amazing then to find out it’s membership only it ruins my mood!!! Then I have to start all over again!! Make two options for members only lakes and day/night tickets lakes!! I want to travel to as many places I can and explore/experience there’s nothing like a new adventure/lake to explore and get the kid feels from it in my opinion I wish every fishery’s lakes was open to everyone you only need to check at the gate that everyone has the correct gear and rigs to fish! Just my opinion I book a new adventure every month but I feel I’m going to run out of lakes to fish very soon!!!

### 3/5 — Good could be much better

*2023-04-29, version 1.1.3*

This is a great idea. However, it doesn’t have many fisheries on the app so you still find yourself searching google.  It’s not very up to date either so I can’t imagine many anglers know about it or use it.  Shame.
