Fishbrain - Fishing App
doubtful ratingPeople really do find spots and log their catches, one user caught their first fish in El Paso thanks to Fishbrain. But what used to be free is now locked behind a roughly 155 dollar a year subscription: you cannot even see other anglers' catches and photos in the feed. That turned a useful tool into a wall of locks.

About the rating
Store average is 4.65 but the text average is 2.81, and even the five-star reviews complain about the locks: 70 percent of the app is behind a paywall, it is free but you need a subscription to do anything. That gap plus praise without detail against genuinely angry reviews looks suspicious.
