FishHunter - Fish Finder/Sonar

authentic rating

When it works, the compact sonar finds fish and depth well from a kayak or on ice, and people love casting it out and mapping the bottom. But more often it does not work: the unit will not connect or drops out, connecting takes half an hour, dark mode makes text unreadable, sign-in throws an Error. The app also has not been updated in ages and support ignores emails.

About the rating

Reviews are highly concrete and technical: the unit will not connect or drops out, connecting takes 30 minutes, battery lasts 75 minutes, dark mode makes text unreadable, maps cut off at Map too big, sign-in throws an Error. Five-star notes are specific too about kayak and steelhead. The storeAvg 3.89 vs textAvg 2.43 gap is honest, no faking, if anything the low average matches the pain.
