Community Insight:
Every time we go over 66 lbs The game kicks us out we have to start over we can never finish a tournament because of this not worth the $.99 you pay for it.
Glitchy. We can have several fish and good weight in a tournament and the game just quits with about 3 minutes left. This has happened 4 times. When you reopen the app, it asks to continue, but all of what you have earned is gone. Its also not very realistic as to types of fish in certain locations. Waste of .99.
Used to love this game a long time ago. Now it keeps crashing.
IFishingSE, 3, and FFE all crash constantly. The only one that doesn't crash, is ifishing! It's not worth playing.
Since the last upgrade, the app crashes as soon as you move into first place. Now this is simply a worthless investment. We guess they want us to pay for a new version just have it crash again.
Boring simulation of "fly-fishing", and constant crashes after catching a fish leads us to conclude that this game is garbage. Requesting refund. Terrible, don't buy.
Fantastic fly fishing game with great controls and easy gameplay. We wish there were more locations…and more flies…and just more in general.
We love to fish and this is the best fishing game available.
This game is the best fishing game available for IOS!! The finger placement area for casting is a little low near the very bottom edge of the screen but it is doable.
The game looks fun but it won't cast and we know it's not us because we have 3 other ifishing games and they all cast just fine.
Since update, game doesn't open at all…please HELP.
Great game for we-Pod. Live in desert southwest and it is long way to real fishing. Needs updates and or more places to fish. Thanks for great games.
We enjoy the game, but perch in the Alaskan stream? A little hokey.
Great game, even if more limited in locations and target fish than the other two editions, the original and the SE. The update did nothing special. We'd love a newer version with more target fish and more locations.
The best of the ifishing series great game.
Worthless everytime someone texts or calls you it interferes and you lose all the fish you had in your creek, we left more talent in the outhouse than the designer of this game.
Useless since update..fly won't release and no new locations.
Love the game,only wished more locations were available.
We love trout fishing the best so we jumped all over this! We like being out of the boat, we have all the fishing games. We also wish they had more locations but we love them all and they are definitely worth the money!!'.
Not a lot of lakes or rivers to uncover and there's no boat…but it's pretty fun and it's worth the money you're paying.
We don't play many games but we like this one.
We are just learning to fly fish and can only hope we have as good of luck in real life! We love playing this on our breaks at work, very relaxing & entertaining.
This game is very fun but you need to be able to fish a photo!!! There also needs to be more types of fish. To illustrate, some warm water fish such as bream or bass. Along with these warm water fish there needs to be warm water places. Also one would need some warm water flies such as a popping bug or some kind of dry fly, like a spider. Lastly the depth perception on the lucky tree or what ever is way off and needs to be fixed. We would be very sad if an update doesn't come soon. Then we might give it five stars.
We admit to being an absolute fishing addict. That's why we originally bought iFishing. It was one of our first apps and we loved it. We were really excited when the Fly Fishing edition came out, since we fly fish for everything: trout, bass, etc. But after having played it for a while, we have to say we're unimpressed. Although they added things like moving backgrounds and drifting flies, they failed to let you move around. That was the main reason iFishing was so much better than Flick Fishing (in our opinion). We would gladly give this game 5 stars if they added the ability to move around to find the fish, but as of now it is Flick Fishing with less replayability, different (cooler :-)) casting, and nicer backgrounds. As of now, we'd recommend to stick to iFishing/World Championship as those are pretty much the same, except more polished. But if you absolutely love fly fishing like us, we'd still imagine you'd like this app.
Our phone is loaded with fishing games and this is one of our favorites. Great graphics and a good price. Only reason did not get 5 stars was the fact that it could have a few more lakes and wish it was a little tougher at times. All in all, great game.
Liked the other iFishing games, this one is the first we paid money for and it is the only one that DOES NOT support multiplayer. We guess we'll stick to the free ones from now on.
Loaded, but did not work. Crap.
Being avid trout fisherman we were waiting for this one for quite some time.
This is one of the best fishing apps ever.
Nice game, need more fishing locations.
This is not fly fishing at all. Not worth the $1.99. Needs more action, pretty boring.
Bought it. Downloaded it. Now we have a black and white square where we suppose a fully-functioning app should be. Waste of money.
App says it loaded on iPhone but did not. A waste of money and a piece of crap. Another Apple rip-off.
