What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R1] Fishbowl 1/5 · US Went downhill: This used to be where you can ask questions about life (dating, parenting, etc.) and you get answers from an educated pool of your consulting peers. Now that they have opened the app to all kinds of professions, the answers that you get are very different from before. This is no different from Reddit at this point and a waste of time.
2. [R4] Fishbowl 2/5 · US No longer showing fresh content, no longer checking daily: For the past 1-2 months, I’ve gone from using fishbowl daily to only checking it once or twice a month. Why, you ask? Because for some unknown reason, the developers decided to change the “My Feed” sorting algorithm to only show the most popular posts from my bowls within around a month, meaning that every time I open the app I see the sam
3. [R61] onWater 2/5 · US Useless: This app is useless as a free version. Just about every click it wants me to upgrade. Deleted it after two days.
4. [R63] onWater 3/5 · US Pretty disappointed in measurement feature: You pay alot for this app and the one thing I need it for, measurement feature, is super buggy and rarely works. I’d change to a 5 star if this was fixed.
5. [R21] Fishbowl 3/5 · US Simple but can be better: The UI is clean and easy to use. But feed loading is slow.
6. [R18] Fishbowl 3/5 · US Digest: The app is ok but the one thing that absolutely annoys me is that I will see an interesting conversation in the digest email, I’ll click it, the app will open, and then that’s it. It never takes you to the conversation. It works on a pc browser, but on iOS it just loads the front page of the app. So I get annoyed and just close it and forget about it until the next time a digest email pop
7. [R66] onWater 3/5 · US Great idea, poor execution: App crashes constantly while exploring the map and checking locations offered.
8. [R112] onWater 1/5 · US Crashing: App crashes and closes every time I click a flow station on the map
9. [R7] Fishbowl 1/5 · US Broken App: This app constantly has server issues so you can’t update your industry. Can’t update your email or can’t update your description either you can try to update it 4, 5+ or more times it just won’t stick the app and their servers don’t work.
10. [R40] Fishbowl 1/5 · US The app is broken: Something is wrong with the app. I am now unable to make new posts or respond to new posts. But far more troubling is that there is no one working for the app who will respond anymore to any messages. This is my last attempt to see if they will respond before I delete the app.
11. [R73] onWater 1/5 · US Can’t login or signup?: I was advertised this add on Facebook, I do a lot of fishing and thought I’d give it a chance. App downloaded fine, but if I try to login or register it just goes right back to the login page and the login buttons won’t work to Sign in with Apple or Google. The app is broken or something. It’s not my internet connection, or my phone, or anything like that, the app just simp
12. [R2] Fishbowl 5/5 · US I love it: I love it
13. [R11] Fishbowl 5/5 · US Better than LinkedIn: This is a better way to connect with professionals and network within your field or outside your industry if you’re looking to change careers. The live stream events are better than most paid webinars.
14. [R67] onWater 1/5 · US Too many adds: Adds pop up constantly trying to get you to pay for upgrades. Deleted
15. [R52] Fishbowl 1/5 · US Zero Support / Response: Can’t get support to verify title and restore access to private bowl. Have sent multiple Emails.
16. [R56] Fishbowl 1/5 · US No service or support provided for the app: The app is helpful for me to get information about goings on in at my employer as corporate is very tight lipped and non communicative. The app itself leaves a lot to be desired. For a week now I’ve been asked to update or confirm personal information that could be used to identify me with no means of using the app until I provide the information deman
17. [R95] onWater 5/5 · US Great Service From Will: I emailed the team about a problem with the purchase function of the app. I had built a customized Abel reel through the onWater Blue Line design offering. Once I got to the purchase function it kept dumping me onto the Mayfly main page. Will answered quickly, investigated the issue, and performed an update to the app. He told me how to receive the update and it worke
18. [R92] onWater 1/5 · US Thief’s: Click on free trial and they still charged me for the year right away. What part of free trial is so hard. App sucks and was garbage. Worthless app and garbage people for the tricks to get you to try it and charge for it
