Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fishing Points at 4.4 against Accuphy Sonar's 3.9. Fishing Points also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Accuphy Sonar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (67% vs 48%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fishing Points holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fishing Points has 2.2K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Fishing Points's written reviews are positive against 67% of Accuphy Sonar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
