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.

2026-06-15	Jo*****	I used to love this app, and had no issues with the subscription requirement. Actually, this is one of the few apps that I was willing to pay a subscription for. After the massive changes, I changed my review from 5 stars to 1. UI, UX and navigation is simply too complicated, nearly requiring an engineering degree to learn. It's never been perfect, but this is just stupid. How can you expect us to pay for an app designed by Mr Bean after being slipped a Mickey? DON'T PAY FOR GARBAGE!

2026-06-07	De*****	I paid for the VIP membership, but now my app doesn't work at all. I'm getting an error: "Authentication Failed. An unknown error occurred" whenever I try to log in.
