## Review summary

Users praise Fish Planet for its extensive, detailed fish information and usefulness to anglers, especially after upgrades. However, recurring issues include intrusive ads and paywalls, limited free content, missing regional species, non-working add-ons, and inconvenient license transfers when changing devices. A metric/imperial unit option is also requested.

### Pros

- Extremely rich, detailed information about a huge catalog of fish (e.g., 1,345 species).
- Very useful for anglers to find and learn about different fish.
- High-quality content that remains expansive after upgrades.
- Positive overall reception and strong knowledge base.

### Cons

- Ads are intrusive and there are paywalls demanding more subscriptions or add-ons.
- Free content is very limited; many fish are locked behind payments.
- Add-ons/unlocks often don’t work as advertised.
- Missing common regional species (e.g., Pacific Northwest species) and other key fish.
- You may need to repurchase the app on a new device; licenses don’t transfer.
