1. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Does not support all locations. Tried the app but there was no information in the lake a was on. Explained this to Apple but refused to refund. Uninstalled the app immediately. I did not receive a trial period however the did not charge me for a week, but there was no way to end and cancel without being charged.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Still charging my card after canceling subscription. Very shady and do not pay for the subscription they will keep charging you

3. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

   Slow. Slow

4. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Beware. I bought the service and then 2 later found that they don’t provide meaningful info for rivers, which I primarily fish. I sent an email cancelling well within 7 day free trial. Guess what they continue to charge $27.99. I’ve sent a copy of my dated email cancelling to the owner and he still owning that his company isn’t honoring their trial offer. So now Amex is involved. Beware! Don’t believe you can cancel the service, your card will continue to get charged.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Too Expensive. Expensive

6. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Terrible UI. I tried this app but couldn’t even login and I am in the trial period, i followed all the instructions but to no avail was I successful. I sent an email to cancel my trial, not sure if that will work. According to their documentation you can only cancel from within the app. Well i cant even get in and based on all the other reviews I dont want to be bombarded with ads. I just want to see fishing spots and learn. I had high hopes but I can just read magazines and use trial and error.

7. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Do not buy!!. App was no help and charged me $28 after 2 days of the "7 day $0.99 trial" would never recommend.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Wrong info. I have never got a correct information from this app. They’ve been wrong about Tides. They have been wrong about whether they have been wrong about the fish bite. I’m no longer going to have this subscription as soon as I figure out how to do that.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not worth it at all.. Made me get a subscription before I could see anything. Turns out there’s zero reviews in my area. Lots of spots aren’t good for fishing or are illegal, private lands etc. all it showed was bodies of water. I can look that up on a map, not useful or worth the money at all.

10. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Apps a scam. This app is a scam, I got the trial version and tried to cancel it after I did not like the app and the instructions they give you from the site on how to cancel it are not helpful, the options it tells you to click on are not there on the app and then they offer basically garbage after they charge you and will not refund your money, don’t waste your time with this one

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It’s okay. Not as accurate. Like title says. A lot of this is not updated stuff. Like taking you to a place that’s been dried up, or no activity. There’s better apps

12. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Promotional scam. Although it offers a 7-day trial for $1, you then have six pages of attempted upsell. If you mis-click, you are charged a non-refundable $27 even if you contact them immediately.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Useless. Honestly you can get the same information from google or chat gpt without having to pay a subscription. It’s just a money grab tbh

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Second chance. I just wanted to begin by saying that I believe in second chances. So this is the second time I have tried this app to no avail. At least in my case it has not worked at all. The day I went out no one was catching anything. So I know this is not a good tool to plan a fishing trip. With the price of fuel bait and everything else I would not recommend this app.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Useless. I wanted to use this app for Ontario (GTA -Waterloo). It shows fishing spots but absolutely no data in there. It doesn't say what fish to catch, no ratings, no review, adm the forecast is for most of the fishing spots the same. Useless AI forecast.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t work. Won’t let me even sign in

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Waste of money. There is no information in this app other than the weather

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Subscription. Would actually like to give you half of one star, I downloaded this app a week ago to see what is was, just today I seen a charge for this applications subscription to the app. I’ve never signed up or agreed to subscribe but was told by there AI team that I have a subscription on the web an I never opened an acoount on the web strictly on the app so I’m confused to how that even happened if I were you I’d be careful. I know have to go through the process of getting my money bk that should’ve never been taken in the first place. Can’t wait to see what the si team has to say

19. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Just a sales pitch. We’ve all seen this before. You download an app just to see what information it has and it makes you fill out your life story over 20 screens. Then it does this whole calculating what’s best for you “dog and pony show” only to pop up with a screen for $9.99 a week, $29.99 a year or $79.99 lifetime. You’ve just wasted five minutes of your life just to be able to X out of the app and go delete it. When you X out of the sales pitch, it takes you to a generic version of the app that has no useable information at all. While trying to navigate this generic version, it will offer you a free trial don’t fall for it because you’ll forget to cancel and they’ll nail you with that price you just declined. Save yourself the time and don’t download it in the first place.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Love ads? This is the app for you!. Download the app, opened it up, zoomed in on one place bombarded with one ad had to press X in the corner twice after a certain amount of time, and then it says you wanna move ads with a? Before I could press it another ad came up where I have to play a simulated game in order to bypass the screen deleted. Can’t tell you nothing about it, but it’s bombarded with ads so unless you plan on paying just to check it out skip this app developer shame on you. You should know better.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Made a mistake but purchasing 3 months without trying first :(. Thought this was supposed to give spots etc. however when typing in major areas for fishing, like Mosquito Lagoon, or places like Titusville, nothing comes up. Can’t search by fish type, despite me indicating I do notnfreshwster fish - all it shows it freshwater which I can’t seem to turn off. Waste of money, I’d like a refund.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Canceled. Canceled my subscription but they keep charging me

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Over priced app. Just another over priced fishing app

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crapp. This fish app is trash from A -Z

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Looks great but…. I tried to do the simplest thing and sign up for a trial. I tried to log in after paying for my free trial and I didn’t have the premium options I should have, and no one knew, or they guessed as to why that was. They said I had another account but when I tried to sign in it said there was no account. Finally gave up.

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Review. I see that the app no longer show species and common bait even with a subscription. I do a lot of multi species Fishing so that feature was very helpful. I also noticed the search will not list bodies of water near me. No lures baits or knots are shown as advertised.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Trial is useless. Super unhappy about this app, but ZERO stars is not available. The trial version is pretty much useless. Honestly, not one piece of useful info. They need to offer fully functional trials so people can see if they actually have any useful info for their area. I knew after 30 min that this was going to be useless for me, but it was not at all clear how to prevent the $27.99 charge from hitting. Well it hit today and I finally figured out how to cancel. So I literally gifted them $28 dollars for an app that does absolutely nothing.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not user friendly. All of the spots around western NC have 0 stars and 0 reviews. The app is not intuitive and hard to understand

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Waste of time. Free app that makes u pay for a sub after a long signup process. And information grab unless ur willing to spend 28$ a month move on complete catfishing scam to get u to sub. U can’t use the app at all or even see how it works prior. Scam find another fishing app to help u with trips

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not worth it. Not worth the money. Doesn’t tell you what they advertise such as what baits are working at what lakes etc.
