Catchr: Fish Identifier

doubtful rating

People genuinely love the idea: logging catches like Pokemon Go, accurate ID, slick design. But the product is half-broken: photo uploads mass-hang on the identification screen, the 'crew' feature doesn't work, and you can't invite friends. On top of that every single feature is locked behind a subscription that isn't flagged at install, and in smaller areas there's often nobody around and the feed is dead.

About the rating

The gap is enormous, textAvg 2.25 against a 4.66 store, and the substantive reviews are almost all about broken photo upload stuck on 'finalizing identification' and everything behind a subscription. Five-stars are often empty like 'Perfect even', which betrays inflated top ratings.
