## Review summary

User reviews largely revolve around a March 2026 update that many feel ruined the app. The dominant complaints are that key features, including fish forecasts and tide data, are now locked behind a paid subscription, reducing value for free users. The new UI is hard to read and navigate, with data presented in a cluttered, small-print format. These changes also make tide and activity forecasts less accessible and harder to interpret. A minority still praises the forecast quality and the app’s breadth, but overall many users have uninstalled or intend to cancel.

### Pros

- Previously offered comprehensive fishing data in one app (catch locations, forecasts, tide, and solunar information).
- Forecast information was useful and, in some cases, spot-on.
- Longstanding app with years of use and broad features.

### Cons

- Key features, including fish forecasts and tide data, are locked behind a paid subscription.
- The update introduced a new UI/format that is hard to read and navigate.
- Tide and activity data readability degraded and less accessible for free users.
- Free users lost significant value as many features were paywalled.
- Overall clutter and fine print reduce usability and readability.
