Review: Entomology Course

This review is regarding one of the paid resources that you can buy in the app, specifically the $200 Entomology Course.

I wouldn't recommend paying $200 for this course. It is true that buying access to this course includes (3) 50% coupons for anything site-wide (buying bulk flies) and the opportunity to request a free bug seine for catching and analyzing insects on the river. But it seems like you're paying for those perks.

The thing that struck me about the content of this course is how it looks like an early draft. There are spelling errors, awkward wording, and random duplication of information at points. It's frustrating to be reviewing the content and be distracted, wondering if anyone even ran spell-check before publishing this and listing it for sale for $200.

The information is helpful but none of it is ground breaking and is all readily available for free online. I've seen this course on sale for $50. If it's not at that price point, don't spend your money on this. And that's only because of the coupons and free seine you get with it.

Terrible follow up

I ordered 6 dozen flies from their new app. Waited 30 days and emailed to inquire about the order. They replied that based on the tracking number it was delivered.
Never received it. Emailed customer service and still waiting to hear back.
Waste of money, I have a feeling my money is lost forever. Stupidity is expensive and I was stupid for ordering.

The catch and the hatch

Not what I am looking for. I know it is a mayfly - I want to know green drake or quill Gordon, March brown, etc. too basic

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. We chose to simplify the insect identification as 90% of the time you don't need to drill down to a species level of insect, but instead focus on the orders of insects. If you are interested in learning more about fly fishing insects by species please check out our online entomology course where we can discuss all of that in detail! Thanks!

Fantastic way to ID flies and nymphs in the water

Tap through to narrow the features of what you see and figure out what you find in a stream. Once you know what you are seeing, there’s a list of flies to use fishing that will imitate the real thing.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! that's exactly how to use it! Enjoy!

Super helpful

Awesome to have a little help on the river deciding what to tie on. Plus makes it easy to learn my bugs!

Response from developer

Happy to help! enjoy the app and have a great time on the river!
