This is not an overly impressive bit of software. It's more of a bragging board for good old boys and the like. It is constantly trying to sell very expensive fishing tackle. The "UPDATES" nag balloon keeps popping up all the time and forces you back to the top of the screen. None of the information about local successes or catches is actually shown on the map section. Over all, a very expensive disappointment. Also, I tried to cancel it twice now and I just got charged again even though I've removed this thing from my phone. In short, an OK app but, not stunning and at $20/quarter, not a wise investment.

Too many bugs. Consistently fails to deliver what I paid for. Exact catch locations are useful when the app works. Whole thing randomly won't load, or the catch locations can't be retrieved, or clicking a notification may cause the app to crash. Practically worthless. Obviously, I can't fish every day, so it would be nice if this app worked as promised when I do find the time to go out.

I've been using Fishbrain for years and there have been some growing pains along the way, but I've always enjoyed using the app and have considered it a good resource as well. It's fun to have a social media geared around fishing, plus it's useful to track catches/species/personal bests, weather conditions, way points, lures, and everything else. Being able to see your entire catch map and overall statistics are some of my favorite features.

A nice idea, but needs work. Two things that are lacking: (1) Ability to add fly pattern used (it currently only allows you to choose from a very limited list of patterns); (2) Ability to add the name of the water where they fish was caught (again, it currently only allows you to choose from a limited list, which is often not accurate for small streams & ponds).

Good if you're a newbie.... The maps of the waterways helped me out a bunch. Not that accurate in some spots but manageable. The preloaded depths is also useful while navigating waterways. I'm not sure how they determine their hot spots because it seems they never really change and are hit and miss......mostly miss. The app is also buggy when changing layers and scrolling in and out.

It's a nice app that gives plenty of information and social networking amongst other anglers in your area. The issue is, basically only the map and social networking aspects are free, while the most important/ useful information is all locked behind a (pretty pricey for what it is) payment wall. The gear section is also lack luster and missing products, major brands included, nor a section to add to it manually if your gear isnt listed.

The map can be kind of tricky because the names of fishing spots aren't always places you can just type in Gmaps and have pop up, also they don't tell you how to get to the water and that's even a big issue for certain spots. My biggest problem with this app is that it costs $75 dollars a year to use, and what's even worse is if you don't have the pro version the app advertises the pro version in such a way it reduces the functionality of the other still available features. Good app overall.

I got this app when my best friend came down to take me fishing. Literally all of the fishing locations nearby were either private property, or had signs saying "no fishing" displayed. Ironically, the spot that we found was not on the map, but showed lots of fish caught at that location. Good idea, but needs way more work, especially since there's a premium option in the app.

I have been using this app for a good 4 years now, and unfortunately, it has been going downhill for around a year. The basics all work great, like finding where a person said they caught something or trying to look for new lakes, but some of the more nuanced little things have been slipping. For example, when trying to look at comments, it just shows a blank tab or how the screen stutters when scrolling for a longer time. This app is cool, but seriously need a lot of bug fixes for simple tasks.

Issues with selecting gear, particularly Bait. Selection is slow and arduous. Bait brand is in alphabetical order but you cant jump to the letter. once in the brand of your choice, bait type is not in alphabetical order. once you click on your bait, it has to load the various types which the app fails to do 9/10 times. The search function is very limited, basically search is useless for bait selection. please fix these issues.

The features of the pro version of this app are nice and worth paying for, in my opinion. The catch location and lure data is helpful. However, the app is not the smoothest to navigate. It is a pain to be able to see local catches, and not just all catches globally. Also, when adding gear to your profile, there is a list of brands;however, when you click the brand name random gear of all brands comes up. It would be nice if you could see only gear by that brand, as intended.

Unsubscribing. The UI is pretty bad, windows are hard to swipe away or if you misclick you lose your place and have to spend a minute getting back to it. The map doesn't track to your location as you move with location on. If you like paying to look at frat boys and kids with fish, but getting zero accurate information about how and exactly where they caught them, this is the app for you. Pins usually inaccurate, few have details on what bait was used, let alone how. Good idea, but not worth $$.

Would be nice if it didn't chop the heads and tails off of all the fish in the pics. I don't like laying fish I'm going to release on the ground to get a shot from further away. Mostly fish by myself so I'm just holding them at arms length and the app chops off the ends of the fish. UPDATE! Newest update seems way better! Haven't put anything up to see if it chops pics but the constant crashing seems to have been fixed! Thank you. Now the app won't even load. Can't even long in.

Pretty solid app to get some info on waters you're fishing on and building a community. Three stars because they're super aggressive about you upgrading to the paid version. Also, it always flips my picture from portrait mode to landscape and there's no way to edit it in the app. I reached out to customer service a month ago and I haven't gotten a response yet.

I live 10 minutes away from 2 popular lakes and 30 minutes from the ocean. I had to pick something irrelevant during setup and find out how to unfollow it afterwards. The feed and groups display the same content multiple times over when scrolling. The "new messages" button never goes away, even if there are no new messages. Last straw was when I silenced notifications, and a pop-up forced me to re-enable them if I wanted to continue using the app. Good ideas, execution needs work.

A nice idea, but really poorly executed. Want to filter posts by month? There's a feature that let's you select months to filter by, but it shows posts from some unelected months and hides some posts from the selected months. Think that selecting water bodies to "follow" means these water bodies will be the only ones to show up in your feed? No, you'll continue to get posts from not-followed bodies of water in neighboring states. Could be a great tool for research and tracking for activity, but if instead an exercise in frustration.

Great idea, and they kinda pull it off. However I wanted to use this app to find more little otherwise hidden places to fish, BUT when you log in a catch, you can pinpoint, almost to the square foot, where you caught it. But when you submit the catch, the app rounds it to the nearest body of water that is on whatever list if lakes IT has, even if it's miles away. IT IS INCREDIBLY INFURIATING!!! Other users will log a catch and you want to know where they caught that and all you have is COMPLETELY false information. It's one of the few things in life that gets me angry.

Hands down, pro version has been the most effective tool in my box and has landed me more catches than any single piece of tackle in it. This app is well worth it! 5 star review, no doubt....but I am left wanting slightly. The iOS version is a little better than Android due to the ability to filter catches by date, add pictures in replies, and a handful of other things... @fishbrain, any chance of adding those features to Android version? Add ability to sort by the other statistics too!

There seems to be a bug going on in my app I have deleted and redownloaded the app several times to see if it will go away and resolve the problem but it just won't. It seems that the problem is that the menu and down at the bottom is bugged out and enlarged to where I can't view the catches and species at locations I view. It happened ever since I paid for this subscription.

This app is just okay now. It used to be very helpful. Now i can see minimal information. They removed the option to view best baits for each species. Smh. Reply to fishbrain. Idk why i dont have that option to review fishing water. All i get is multiple activity screens of fisherman near me. Maps for fishing locations, weather and bite times. Top baits used to be located next to bite times.
