ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fishing Status PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shipwreck Map has 63 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Fishing Status PRO's written reviews are positive against 43% of Shipwreck Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fishing Status PRO ships an update every 2 months, Shipwreck Map every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
