An editorial reading of the saved reviews

People 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.

What people use it for

Beginners who need to find nearby spots and keep a catch log, and who will pay a subscription to see others' catches and lure tips

What reviews praise

Finding fishing spots, catch logging, connecting with other anglers, planning trips to unfamiliar waters

What reviews complain about

Almost everything locked behind a pricey subscription, cannot view other people's catches and photos, the map confuses zoom with dropping a pin, laggy after updates

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

The app was originally amazing used to be able to see what catches other people caught at a spot. Now I have to pay the premium in order to see any catches that anyone is caught.
