Review summary

Users appreciate FishLine® for connecting communities with fresh, local seafood through an easy-to-use app featuring fisherman stories and seafood locations. However, common complaints include limited geographic coverage, app crashes on certain devices, unreliable location features, privacy concerns over access permissions, and low adoption by fishermen affecting listing availability. Overall, while praised for concept and usability, the app needs broader adoption and technical fixes to improve its reliability and usefulness across regions.

Pros

Helps connect users with fresh, local seafood and artisanal fishermen.
Easy to use interface, allowing users to find seafood locations and reserve crab.
Provides interesting stories by fishermen, adding a community feel.
Useful for locating fresh seafood in certain areas.
Visually appealing and has a good design.

Cons

Limited geographic coverage; many areas have few or no listings, making it less useful outside specific regions like Half Moon Bay, CA.
App crashes or does not work properly on some devices, including issues with Android 9.
Location feature is unreliable or incorrect, showing wrong results or no results.
Mandatory access to photos, media, and files raises privacy concerns among users.
Low adoption rate by fishermen in many regions leading to sparse listings and limited usefulness.

2024-06-27	Fe*****	Concept is great, but listings seem limited for fresh seem to be limited to the area around Half Moon Bay, CA. There are three weekly dock sales I know of near me, and none of them are listed. It shows no events, and there is a big Salmon Festival in Stevenson coming this weekend. For this to be useful, the app needs to be more widely adopted by artisanal fishermen.

Very helpful.
2020-12-27	Ka*****	Useless in Rhode Island because, except for a few lobster boats, fishermen are not using the app. Nearly all the seafood in RI is still imported and rarely fresh, even with the ocean a stone's throw away. RI consumers potentially have access to truly superior seafood, but I see them in local fish markets buying nothing but farmed salmon, so they are clearly part of the problem.

2020-08-07	Ro*****	I rarely rate apps, and when i do it is usually to complain. This time it is to shout out how AMAZING this app is. Not only is it useful in finding the freshest fish one can buy, the stories by fisherman are great reads. I only wish there were more areas covered or more boats knew to post their catch on this. Thanks for making this great app!
