Review summary

Ninja Fishing is loved for its nostalgic charm, optional ads for extra gold, and ongoing updates with new locations. However, users report widespread crashes, cloud save issues, and performance problems, along with monetization frustration (paywalls for new islands) and no easy restart option. Overall, it remains a cherished classic, but stability and monetization concerns need attention.

Pros

Ads are optional and not intrusive, offering extra gold.
Nostalgia and long-term appeal as a classic game with continued updates.
Regular new locations and content that keep the game feel fresh.
Casual, pick-up-and-play gameplay that fans enjoy.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes across various situations (in shops, during play, when loading, etc.).
Pay-to-play monetization gating (new islands/content requiring real money) and cross-device purchase issues.
Cloud save/account syncing problems (saves detected from the cloud, sign-in/out not fixing, no in-game account options).
Performance issues and problematic tilt/controls (lag, tilt not working).
Missing restart/reset option to start over after progress.

2026-05-06	Ex*****	I played this game as a kid. I wanted to play it now because of the nostalgia I want to see all the new fishes and maps.. The game changed a lot, I like the graphics, the classic game style, and the option to do multiplayer.. HOWEVER, one major issue I am a little impatient…. so I bought some perks. I bought the $4.99 sword, $1.99 of the 100,000 coins, the diamond driller for $2.99, and another thing I got but it was in the extras section. Anyways, it shows that I own it but when my game crashed and go back to check. My coins are gone and I don’t own anything anymore. I have also read the other comments and other people are having the same trouble as me. I followed the exact steps the developer’s instructions were for this issue.. but I don’t have faith of it. I feel much safer sending a request to Apple for refund instead of this. Rather be safe than sorry.

2026-04-03	Ha*****	One of the first apps I got on my first iPhone and it still bangs over a decade later. I love the ad option for extra gold.

2025-12-20	st*****	The game keeps on crashing on me, every time I’m in the shop it keeps kicking me out of the game witch is kind of obnoxious since I have spent actual money on the game and more than half the time I can’t use the coins that I purchased because it keeps crashing out and the game just kicks me out all together. If you guys could please look into this I would greatly appreciate it. I would give this game a 5 star because I really do love it but I can’t since it crashes so much

2025-08-27	Cu*****	I loves this game as a kid and was excited to redownload to see how it improved only to discover that there was no improvement other than slight animation and content updates. In fact my progress is frozen 10 min in and keeps throwing the error "A new savegame has been detected from the Cloud. Restarting the game to reflect the new savegame..." Deleting/redownloading the app does nothing. Signing out/in of gamecenter does nothing. There are no account options ingame. Buying from the shop does nothing save when you close and reopen the app. I am permanently stuck at 7 fish discovered 10 min in for the entire gamecenter profile. Disappointed.
