Useless

Looking for map of non fishing areas, not there.
Is not a download, need to have connectivity at all times
Useless

No happy with the app

Always can not open the app and need to re-install to open it again. No matter it’s under WiFi available area or full service coverage mob data.

No good

Gets jammed all the time.

Not very useful

This app has to re-download every time I open it, so it’s useless if I’m fishing anywhere without phone service.

Furthermore, several of the inland species listed have no information. Not even a picture for identification!

Lastly, the about section of the app states that the State of Victoria and its employees β€œdisclaims all liability for any error, loss, or other consequences which may arise from you relying on any information in this publication.”
So, it’s up to the recreational fisher to figure out where the mistakes have been made in this app before heading out for a flick. The authorities are off the hook.
