   Paywall. I love the way the app is structured around being able to log your catches like it’s Pokémon go, I genuinely believe it’s super creative plus the identification is accurate. The problem is that everything this app offers is behind a paywall and you need a subscription for literally everything.

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

   I want to like it. I would like this app but nobody within 100 miles of me uses it. So I spend 12 bucks for a year of this app for no reason.

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

   Doesn’t even work. App doesn’t even work, you try to scan fish to upload the photos and it doesn’t work. Absolute trash app and waste of money. Would not recommend.

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

   App hasn’t worked in a week. Can’t upload pictures and no one local has uploaded in about a week, probably because they are also facing this issue.

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

   Fishing. Seems like a good app however can’t won’t load any catches I have and just stuck on finalizing and never identified or posted

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   It’s not working. I’ve paid money to use this but it says sign in to Catchr, and it wants me to use my apple account to sign in but when I click on it it says I can’t use an apple account to sign in to another domain. I think It scammed me

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   misleading. Free to download, but waits until you're done setting up a profile to tell you that a paid subscription is required.

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

   Pay wall. I don’t even know if there is a free version. Every time I try to make an account it pay walls me and the “x” to close out just pulls up a “discount.” I just want to use the free version.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Couldn’t Even Use The App!!!. I tried to set up my account, but before it allowed me to finish, it forces me to buy a subscription. It won’t let me click off of it. Total waste of my time.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Thought it would be a free app to record fish. It is not.. This app is not useable without subscriptions. Doesn’t at all say a subscription is needed but I cannot get beyond the set up of the app without making a subscription. No features are available to me whatsoever.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Doesn’t work. I purchased the subscription and the photo upload has been bugged for over a week. I’ve contacted support twice and haven’t heard a thing.

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    So far a dud. Well, I want to like this app, however, after paying for the subscription, (which I wouldn’t mind if the app was working properly) I cannot upload any catches. I’m not fishing right now, so I tried to upload some recent catches from my photo library. It tries to analyze my catch, but gets to “finalizing identification” and gets stuck. Hopefully this gets fixed quickly. 2 recommendations. 1. Have a function where you can manually upload and label the catch. 2. Have an offline mode where internet is not necessary to upload catches, some of the places I fish have little to no cell signal, so being able to upload without internet would be helpful. Look forward to trying this again when it’s working properly. Thanks

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Don’t like the subscription. The whole app in itself doesn’t look bad and I want to use it but I just can’t subscribe to a subscription there is parental controls on my phone. PLZ FIX 🙏

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

    Buns. Expensive asf nothing free here

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paywalls are dumb. Been seeing this app everywhere on the socials and was excited to use it. It’s kinda criminal that an app is free to download but you gotta pay a monthly subscription to use. It makes sense with the whole Ai identification deal. But for those who understand what different species of fish look like we don’t need that Ai identifier option. Please make a free version for peeps who just wanna log fish, have fun and are able to go back and look at what they caught in years past.

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

    Money. Have to pay

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

    Make it 12+. Please make the age use 12+ because this app looks amazing and I what to play it so bad but I’m not old enough

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Disappointing. I’m sure the app is great but I just don’t feel like paying and you cannot get past the paywall💀. I click the X to decline and it then forces you to accept the discount or get stuck in another paywall loop.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Stopped working day after purchase (3/27/26). App stopped working a day after we paid $19.99 annual subscription fee. There was no trial period offered. I want my money back.

20. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Not working. App closes instantly after opening. I haven’t been able to use it but so far all it has done is take up space.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Can’t open. Won’t open the app and paid for the year. Don’t recommend

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Crash central. Can’t even use the app because once I open it, it immediately crashes

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Constant crash. I love the concept, but after I purchased the year subscription I get constant crashes and can’t launch the app.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    BS. Would not let me use the app without a subscription

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Pay for… a mystery?. I was very excited to use this, but you cannot even check out what the app is like before having to pay. So I’m just going to subscribe with no idea as to why I get? Absolutely not.

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Just Get iNaturalist. Doesn’t say anything about a subscription fee until you download the app and spend time setting it up 🤪

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Do not get this. It had me put in all my goals and things for fishing and said i would get great results for fishing then put everything behind a paywall

28. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Lost two accounts now. You pay money for the app but if you get a new phone or get logged out there’s no way to sign back in and you lose all your data. Not worth the risk and time in my opinion.

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

    Trash. This thing wants you to pay and it’s not free it’s trash

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Ridiculous. App is completely locked behind a paywall of at least $20 or their 7 day free trial. It’s a complete money grab and a scam. A fish identifier app should not require you to pay this much money just to even access the app for the first time(without their free trial)
