1. [R1] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Not what I was looking for: Don’t be like me and pay for a year to find out it’s not worth the money and doesn’t give proper depths and charts
2. [R4] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Pay to use: Not worth your time or money. Everything is locked behind a paywall.
3. [R7] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Not free: Yet another app that seems free on the surface, but ends up being a monthly subscription. Deceptive practices.
4. [R10] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Garbage app: Has no depth chart. Useless garbage app. Waste of time
5. [R6] Fishing Points 3/5 · US Can’t get the depths to work!: I purchased the premium and when I click on the nautical map to show depths in my lake it doesn’t work. Is this normal? Can you please help me with this! I like the app but the depths is crucial to me! Thanks.
6. [R24] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Lake did not even show up: Tried to use for ice fishing in New York and was standing in middle of the lake and didn’t even recognize I was on water. Looked into more lakes I fish and they are not on here. Apple DENIED refund even though was so misleading. You should clearly state somewhere that all states aren’t included. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND USE NAVIONICS.
7. [R13] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Need refund!: Total scam. This app wasn’t even in my subscription list. Took my hard earned money. $49.99. This app is useless. I will just stick to my other fishing app that actually shows other anglers catches and hotspots. And then they make it hard to actually leave a review! It says choose a nickname but every nickname I choose is taken? Yeah ok!
8. [R26] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Money first: I don’t like forcing me to give credit card information or pay first for one year before using the 7 days free trial. What if I forget to cancel!!
9. [R40] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Bait and switch: I signed up for what was advertised as a 7-day free trial, but I was charged immediately for a full subscription. I realized within 10 minutes that the app wasn’t what I wanted and deleted it right away. When I tried to request a refund, Apple denied it without explanation, and the company refused to help, saying they don’t deal with purchases made through Apple. This is a bait-a
10. [R42] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Proceed with caution if buying a year plan: I wanted a free 3 day trial but everytime I clicked on it, it took me to the “30% off” page. Trying to get around it, it ended up subscribing me for $38. And it doesn’t even have the depths of the lakes and rivers inland. Only coasts and ocean. Wasted money. Immediately took my auto renewal off. Maybe if they add the bathymetric of the inlands of the US,
11. [R16] Fishing Points 2/5 · US Yup: Mucho anuncios
12. [R20] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Used to be good, NOW WATCH COMMERCIALs: I have no idea what’s happened to this app. I know that I pay for it and now all of a sudden I’ve got to watch advertisements!?!?!?
13. [R22] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Ads and gatekeeping features: Every time u open the app there is an ads, this would be fine if it was free app, I am just sick of features being behind a pay wall. If I wanna look at tomorrow’s tides I have to go to google, totally defeats the whole point to the app.
14. [R32] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Misleading Star Rating: This app is garbage. It has no interaction with other users. It only shows what you input on the map based on your understanding. It doesn’t contain any information data on water bodies. It must be entered manually
15. [R9] Fishing Points 3/5 · US Not the best at tides. Usually 6 hours off. Used to work better on the tides.: Fix the tides
16. [R15] Fishing Points 3/5 · GB There is no information about the condition of the waves: I just renewed my subscription and I see the old problem aganin ,application does not show information about the waves
17. [R55] Windy.app 5/5 · US RELIABLE: Most reliable wind app of 9 that I have on my phone and I pad👍
18. [R58] Windy.app 5/5 · US The local weather forecast: I always like to check and find out what Windy is forecasting. It’s always worth checking. Almost time to put the boat back in the water and I will be checking to find out the local weather conditions first, always accurate and dependable, Thanks
19. [R59] Windy.app 3/5 · US Very niche yet lacking basic info: The weather forecasts are impressively detailed, although I didn’t get a chance to evaluate their accuracy. I deleted the app within minutes after discovering that basic information like sunrise and sunset times is only available through a desktop-only plugin. That’s a surprising limitation for a paid app. Quite disappointing.
20. [R82] Windfinder 5/5 · US Boss: Would not want to be on the water without it. Great for picking the best days to be out. No surprises.
21. [R66] Fishbrain 5/5 · US Insane app: I shocked how good this app is it basically is a cheat code and has really helped me level up my game. Their BiteTime is actually very accurate and I’ve caught many more fish in days when the bitetime is high. Plus I love the fact you can check what people have logged in certain spots. This definitely deserves 5 stars.
22. [R67] Fishbrain 3/5 · US Good but pay to get most things: It is good but if you are going to travel you would need the pro witch is 170$ per year and it only tells you stuff on bluegill so you can’t look at bass or catfish without pro
23. [R70] Fishbrain 3/5 · US Pay to use: The best parts of this app are locked behind a 155$ paywall and I don’t spend money like that. Sad because this could have been amazingly helpful. Will still be using this app to find places as that is one feature bass forecast lacks. Bass forecast is another app that seems to be cheaper and have more free features and I hope fish-brain takes notes on their competitors because I am thi
24. [R76] Fishbrain 3/5 · US Paywall: The app is great for a bit but then it makes you buy premium to see bite guide and what people catch in certain spots all you can really see is the feed and the species of fish in the pond you fish at
25. [R80] Windfinder 5/5 · US Great app: This is my most reliable wind app,
26. [R84] Windfinder 5/5 · US Exceptional APP: I love this app. The real time forecasts are awesome.
27. [R86] Windfinder 5/5 · US Go to for conditions: This app is a MUST when going out
28. [R97] Fishbox 4/5 · US Love it: It is a bit complicated, but it is good
29. [R98] Fishbox 3/5 · US Great info needs refining: Great info and good enough to keep my premium subscription (for now) but need refining to UX
30. [R103] Fishbox 5/5 · US Great app for beginners: I love this app! It’s taught me so much and keeps me aware of the best times to fish.
31. [R109] Fish AI 3/5 · US It's ok but...: It made me put in like 10 questions and it said I had to pay "zero" extra money when you have to get the premium just to see fishing spots this is a scam
32. [R113] Fish AI 1/5 · US Paywall: It take you trough a quiz to see you preferences and than boom 30$ mouth yea no thank you
33. [R114] Fish AI 5/5 · US Big fish: I’m gonna catch some biiiiiiiig fish
34. [R115] Fish AI 3/5 · US Nice: Very easy to set up accessible, and
35. [R30] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Not for fresh water: This doesn’t have the topo maps for freshwater lakes it is really bad if you are fishing fresh. Don’t spend the money
36. [R34] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Missing 99% of inland lakes and rivers in Wisconsin: Literally none of the lakes or rivers I fish are visible in this app. Big lakes like winnebago and Michigan are on here but not very detailed, smaller lakes are missing entirely unless you use the satellite view which isn't any different than using the free maps app on your phone. What a joke. The depth maps for the few lakes that do exist are o
