   Day 6 of trying to get past the sign in page. Cant sign in. Infinite loading screen. Fix it. Is this app abandoned or something?

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Paywalls have ruined FishAngler. After years of contributing and using FishAngler as a community tool for anglers all over the world, the March 2026 update that paywalls seeing other peoples catches has killed the app for me. FishAngler still allows you to log your catches but now they own that data and sell it to other users as a ‘premium’ feature. I’m very sad to be deleting all my data and the app, this is just wrong.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Do not use this app. This app plays dumb commercials out loud while you scroll through the feed. This app is garbage just trying to force people to pay. Good luck

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Expensive. This apple run you $80 per year not worth it not even close. You still have people that report their catches at their houses so you don’t really know where they got caught. Not worth it delete it from your phone.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Fees, fees, fees. They ruined a good thing by charging for the fish forecast. Greedy.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App was ok now it sucks. Incredibly bad graphics and now you want to make money on fish forecasts I’m dropping the app

7. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

   Latest free version removed lunar. This app was great until they stripped lunar from the free version, now it’s worthless to me.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   I am too dumb to use this app. I was completely lost using this app maybe I am too dumb but there was no fish id that I could find every screen was over loaded with stuff I was not interested in and I had to pay for Like I said I am just too dumb for this app 🤣 Good luck to all you smart fishermen out there

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Used to use religiously. They want to charge for the core function of this app now?!? I get having advanced features to offer at a premium, but to take the basic function of this app and lock behind a paywall is ridiculous. Such a shame.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Disappointed. Do not like this new version. The tide charts allowed me to plan ahead all in one place, now a tide book is my best friend.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible. This is not a good app. Don’t waste your time. And if you miss the free trial deadline you’re absolutely screwed. They will hit you HARD for $$$.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Was good. Now will delete. Will not pay 60 dollars a year for their supposed best bite windows. It used to free.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid app.. It’s a free app but you get deep into registration and you have to pay a subscription. Kindof shady and deceptive.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Was good before the update. Could see peak times before update. Wasn’t exactly accurate but used it as a guide. I absolutely will not pay for this. Isn’t accurate enough to make me pay for it. Absolutely stupid. I’ve used this app for 2+ years now and again. Good but not good enough to pay for any information from this.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Update bad. Finding another app, due to this app is nothing like before

16. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Terrible. This app is awful. It’s not easy to use and very redundant compared to other similar apps. Also be careful when signing up, they will not refund your money even if you cancel the trial subscription.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Greed. Locking the prime feature behind a pay wall. Terrible. Uninstalled.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Really?!. Another example of putting dollars before sense. Instead of understanding your users and discovering creative methods of monetization, you remove your most popular features, add a redesign no one asked for, then paywall a previously free feature while trying to pretend you “improved” the app. I hope the short burst of money is worth it! I had some great ideas on how to use your data in ways that would have severely BOOSTED your user usage and subscription rates, but won’t be sharing now.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why?. They changed and they ruined it.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Terrible Update. Took 10 steps backwards. Removed any forecast data unless you pay for it, used to see forecast data for several days in advance or in the past. New data layout is not east to read, prior layout was nice. Uninstalling and finding another app to use after several years of use. Too bad, took this app wrong direction

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    New format stinks!. I’ve had the app for several years. The new format is terrible. The information and layout is bad. No barometric pressure, no easy ridge reading. Dropping subscription and looking for a new app.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Deleting App. Been using app for a few years now it has changed and is useless. On top of that you have to pay to use it. You are not the only place to get information. Hopefully everyone leaves and it’s just another useless app.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Updated app is horrible. This app used to be great. You could load the fish forecast and it would give you all the major and minors and the probability of catching a fish. The update got rid of that feature which was the best part of the app.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Old app?. This WAS a good app! Why did you change it?

25. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    They ruined their own app. For some reason my original review disappeared. As well as the developer response of “we actually didn’t take anything away” which I’ve seen to other reviews as well. You did take away features FishAngler… I understand you reconstructed your forecast features, however every single other Apple user already has a weather app. We don’t need to download an app for fishing, to tell us what 5 other apps tell us. I do understand that as a business you need revenue, it sucks yeah but you could just increase the ads frequency like AccuWeather did. People will pay you to take make the ads go away, but to take away your best feature and blatantly tell your user base that you haven’t taken anything, and actually improved a bunch of other random features? How many users have you lost over the past week? It’s early spring, anglers are preparing, planning, and getting out there. We all just spent all our money on tackle and gear… While I can only speak for myself, based on all reviews made since this update, most us us will be downloading FishingPoints for our free bite times and fish activity. I will keep this app downloaded for now in case your user base matters to you again. I hope to see peak bite times return, even if I have to close 5 ads just to get to the screen. “Ad annoyance” will get me to pay you for it, gaslighting us that nothing has been removed..? To that I will just let the rest of the population speak from here.

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Just awful. I think it’s shocking that charge for this. I’m going to start my own page offering anglers the chance to help each other. This pastime we choose is done by many retirees and Veterans. Shame on you

27. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    New Update ruined the app. Time to delete unfortunately

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why did you do this. Take everything away why. All you want is money. It was not a bad app. And no one writes back to you

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Running dry?. Very nice job developers.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I was good. I got this app cuz I could see when the bite time is high for free, it was so simple and I loved it, now they updated it so that u need pro tho see the bite time and they made it way less simple…delete
