1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not what I was looking for. Don’t be like me and pay for a year to find out it’s not worth the money and doesn’t give proper depths and charts

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Pay to use. Not worth your time or money. Everything is locked behind a paywall.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not free. Yet another app that seems free on the surface, but ends up being a monthly subscription. Deceptive practices.

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

   Garbage app. Has no depth chart. Useless garbage app. Waste of time

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Need refund!. Total scam. This app wasn’t even in my subscription list. Took my hard earned money. $49.99. This app is useless. I will just stick to my other fishing app that actually shows other anglers catches and hotspots. And then they make it hard to actually leave a review! It says choose a nickname but every nickname I choose is taken? Yeah ok!

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

   Price. It’s not free

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Used to be good, NOW WATCH COMMERCIALs. I have no idea what’s happened to this app. I know that I pay for it and now all of a sudden I’ve got to watch advertisements!?!?!?

8. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Ads and gatekeeping features. Every time u open the app there is an ads, this would be fine if it was free app, I am just sick of features being behind a pay wall. If I wanna look at tomorrow’s tides I have to go to google, totally defeats the whole point to the app.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Lake did not even show up. Tried to use for ice fishing in New York and was standing in middle of the lake and didn’t even recognize I was on water. Looked into more lakes I fish and they are not on here. Apple DENIED refund even though was so misleading. You should clearly state somewhere that all states aren’t included. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND USE NAVIONICS.

10. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Money first. I don’t like forcing me to give credit card information or pay first for one year before using the 7 days free trial. What if I forget to cancel!!

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Lame. Crazy how they want to charge to see the next day forecast. Nope. Bad app

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

    Not for fresh water. This doesn’t have the topo maps for freshwater lakes it is really bad if you are fishing fresh. Don’t spend the money

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

    Misleading Star Rating. This app is garbage. It has no interaction with other users. It only shows what you input on the map based on your understanding. It doesn’t contain any information data on water bodies. It must be entered manually

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

    Missing 99% of inland lakes and rivers in Wisconsin. Literally none of the lakes or rivers I fish are visible in this app. Big lakes like winnebago and Michigan are on here but not very detailed, smaller lakes are missing entirely unless you use the satellite view which isn't any different than using the free maps app on your phone. What a joke. The depth maps for the few lakes that do exist are only about 25% as detailed as what you can get on a garmin gps or even the dnr website. Hazards, shallows, weed beds, structure, etc are all missing as well. I tried this app first because the garmin app has such terrible reviews but I'm extremely disappointed with the lack of water bodies. If the app had even 2 or 3 of the lakes I fish I might consider subscribing but as it's built today, this app is entirely useless to me. Despite the low reviews, at least the garmin app actually has usable waterway maps. Not sure who this app was built for but it isn't for fishermen and definitely not worth $50 a year.

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

    Have to pay to use. Money hungry and deserves a 1 star

16. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Bait and switch. I signed up for what was advertised as a 7-day free trial, but I was charged immediately for a full subscription. I realized within 10 minutes that the app wasn’t what I wanted and deleted it right away. When I tried to request a refund, Apple denied it without explanation, and the company refused to help, saying they don’t deal with purchases made through Apple. This is a bait-and-switch tactic – promoting a free trial but charging upfront and offering no path to a refund, even if you act immediately. Extremely frustrating and dishonest. I’d warn anyone to avoid this app.

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

    Proceed with caution if buying a year plan. I wanted a free 3 day trial but everytime I clicked on it, it took me to the “30% off” page. Trying to get around it, it ended up subscribing me for $38. And it doesn’t even have the depths of the lakes and rivers inland. Only coasts and ocean. Wasted money. Immediately took my auto renewal off. Maybe if they add the bathymetric of the inlands of the US, I will turn my renewal back on

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Worthless “free” app that puts everything useful behind a pay wall.. App is trash, can’t even see the tides for tomorrow without paying even though that info is free anywhere and everywhere else online. Deleted after using a few days and found several much better alternatives that were actually free and not trying to charge money for info they scrapped off the web.

19. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Do not use “free” trial period. They will charge you immediately and keep the money, there is no way to cancel, no way to contact. Apple refuses to support dispute.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Subscription Only. Not free. Need to pay.

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

    Contours. Bought this for depths and contours and doesn’t work at all.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Useless. This is just google maps that happens to have weather data. You can save “fishing locations” and thats where the fishing part ends, you can also save locations on google maps for free. I thought this app would at least show bodies of water and show which ones are accessible for legal/public fishing but no the app is completely useless unless you like paying for a google maps replica.

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

    Useless. The gps points on the map are literally off by a mile. I was on a local (northern WI) lake this morning and tried it for the first time. Not only did it show the lake I was on well south on my location, but the 1600 acre lake name wasn’t shown, nor was any bathymetry given.

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

    Poor info provides. If you want a weather fishing app this is best suited for that but for where the hot bites or catches are they offer nothing on that and pretty expensive just for a weather app.

25. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

    Useless. Deleted immediately. This is one of those annoying apps that instead of admitting it costs to use it, pretends to be free in order to get your personal info. Then gives you nothing in return other than an offer to subscribe for something stupid like $50/mo after you forget to cancel after the free trial period. All the features are locked behind a pay wall other than the most basic things like tide that you can just Google for less hassle and without having your personal data distributed to spammers. Complete waste of time.

26. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Not worth it. Doesn't provide any data that you can't get for free. Some of the data is inaccurate. Not impressed

27. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Fraud!!! Do not buy!!!. This app is fraudulent. I downloaded based on a promise of a free trial. I was immediately charged for a full year subscription. This is fraudulent. Do not buy it. Horrible app. They refused to refund. I intend to pursue legal action

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

    😑😑😑😑. Dont tell u where to catch fish

29. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    If you buy it, you better be sure. If I could give it a zero I would, not because of the app or its features, but because I changed my mind on the purchase and cancelled it later the same day I purchased it. It was advertised as a 7 day free trial and my refund was denied.

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    False advertisement. There are not contour maps or depth charts on the bodies of water anywhere near me or any at all, period. Can’t refund because it’s false. Scam of an app and I’ll be charging back the cost with my bank.
