Community Insight:
Could you add a feature where you can login with Game Center and stuff like that it would be great.
We have never played a game this good. The dynamics are brilliant and the first person pov is the best. In the game there are multiple maps and you start on a lake or pond called lone star where you catch enough fish until you can go to other maps you unlock while you are leveling up. Over good game on the App Store right here.
We need our account back our son got a hold of our phone and it got deleted please help.
We would like for you to add fly fishing to the games and all the the stuff that are in that category.
This is by far the best fishing game on mobile, very realistic and has amazing graphics love playing this game cant get enough of it Ive even recommended it to multiple friends and family bc we are all advocate fisherman and fisherwoman. We also have some ideas Id hope you will take in consideration of maybe adding the opportunity to go snagging for fish or use small fish u catch as bait Id love it even more than we already do and Im sure many others would also. We play this game everyday. Also we would love to see an option to watch some ads for some money credits bc since Ive reached level 39 it has got very hard to save up money credits to go to more expensive spots to level up. Thank for your time and we hope you will take in consideration of our suggestions thank u for all the work you guys put into this game and god bless you.
We have played this game for a little while now and it is a great game. Very good graphics.
We took the time to write this review for two reasons. #1: we love the games graphics and design – some of the very best we have ever seen. The fishing is very realistic, making it the best fishing game we have ever played. #2: One of the challenges that we face while playing the game is the requirement of a complete and steady internet connection. This can make it very hard to play on-the-go or when doing multiple things on your phone at once. At any point in gameplay that we have to leave the app, even for just a second, we find that when we return the game resets and renters the app, losing any fish that may have been on the line. The game also can appear very slow for beginners, along with being confusing for someone who has never fished before. We would suggest an ADVANCED tutorial for those levels which are under 5. Lastly, we have found the chat feature to be both pleasing and disagreeable. While we enjoy chatting, we do not enjoy the spam created by many inside. Very many times we have been disturbed by people inside the chat talking in gibberish that would be unclear for the average person. Here is an example from a conversation at Emerald Lake: Ya bagus klo baca nya dari kanan wkwkwk. Please have someone monitor the chats! Thanks so much for reading, it really is a good game all in all.
Make it so you can sign in with other options not just apple.
We were so excited to play then bam cant use apple ifs to create accounts Im giving you a 2 star till you help us to solve this problem.
We see all these helpful tips to help you play the game, but thats all we see we hate to be that person Tip:in order for people to play the game it has to actually load in a reasonable amount of time.
The game is made well but we don't like the fact we have to re sign in every-time we open the app and the fact you get no money at the start makes the gaming process slow.
To be honest for a mobile game, the controls are somewhat pretty easy to use, however good luck trying to connect to the servers without Wi-Fi. Most if not all games play perfectly fine with no Wi-Fi, Ive let the game sit 20 mins at the main menu in hopes of it loading.
Keeps crashing cant even pull out rod or move.
We wish thy can make it work on iPad Air we are so sad that it didnt work.
Best game ever we hate when you have to update it.
There are many times we find ourselves paying up to $3000 for a fishing trip, just for the game to glitch and we are sent back to the globe, missing $3k and forced to spend more or go fish at Lonestar. Another thing, we feel like the trip prices are so high compared to how much money you earn per trip without premium. We find ourselves grinding Lone Star for 3 days just to be able to buy a new rod and reel set with a full tackle set up. Besides these two things, our playing experience has been awesome, we love this game. It has to be the best fishing game out on mobile.
This game is amazing , we loved it on Xbox but this is phenomenal , our question is when will iPhones version be caught up with android? They are several updates ahead of us.
No Problems here angler! Just have fun! Cant wait for the higher level lakes like Maku Maku and blue crab to be available.
Its really good it looks like it has Rtx on and we always wanted to fish but we cant so Im so happy.
We have played the game on Xbox and loved it but sadly the only way to sign in on this version is through apple. For reason this game has a age restriction on it so we cant play.
We love this game on Xbox and play it quit frequently but we wish that you had more ways to sign in than just apple on Mobile. Like Microsoft or Google.
The game is great and we enjoy playing it. The only thing we dont like is how you cant link your account and get the packs or items you have paid for on your console or pc account.
Idk if it was on our side but it took awhile to download although great game and if you guys dont already you should make a tiktok account.
Fix the maps make less laggy and put in those missing maps and it will be perfect. Still overall nice game.
Our game just wont let us update.
The handle can't operate at all. It can only switch pages. Sometimes you can't exit by clicking on the map. You can only directly clear the background.
We were playing this game and it was fun at first, then we got off to check a different game and came back making us sign back into our account over and over which takes about ten minutes and its too much of a hassle just to play this game, switch and then come back having re-sign in. This is the only reason we dislike this game.
The game tells us to do a touch id whatever its call and for some reason we cant go in.
The app cannot connect to any servers. Keep saying that it cannot connect to the servers.
When we first got this game ,because we loveeee fishing we got it and and at the starting where it says sign in with google we hit that and it gives you tips and we like that and it just keeps loading so we would rate it a 1/5. And we think it is hacked.
We fished 24/7 and the only fish we caught was a 0.50 pound blue Gill.
Game does not load! Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the app many times. Game is stuck on initial load screen.
Downloaded the game and it wont even load. We play this game on Console and found it cool that they made a app for the game.
Ask the planner to update and fix the bug quickly.Network problems, as well as game stuttering problems, as well as chat interface does not show dialogue problems, fish often stutter or network circles. Device Apple 12.
This game is the best we love every thing abt it its the best fishing game that has came out yet highly recommended it.
Game is amazing now we can play everywhere we go but it would be amazing if we can link our accounts from our consoles.
LOVE this game ! Would highly recommend giving it a try.
Released a new update and realized there was a bug instantly and released a new update fixing it within two days later and the game itself amazing so much things to do and when we say thousands of hours of play time we mean it.
Would be great if it were controller supported to be honest also the whole switching rods out is hard but not our main concern just make it so it wont destroy our phones battery also.
We cant load into the game so please fix that or help us.
We've been playing fishing games since the 80s. This is the best we've played. Our only complaint is that it drains our battery so fast.
It says theres a new version available, when we try to update it says there is no update available.
So first of all, we love the game. The gameplay is brilliant, and it is very fun. But, we would love it if yous added settings to be able to change the buttons sizes and move where the button sizes are on the screen. And, maybe add a bell indicator for the simple bell. Like a phone vibration or symbol to show that its ringing if were playing without sound.
We downloaded this game because we had it on our ps4 and figured it was going to be the same as a person our age does we blew all our money and couldnt do anything besides spend money so we decided we were going to restart well when we hit the delete account button and we have to wait thirty days well it has been 31 days we have emailed and tried to get in contact and our account has not been deleted to where we can play this game overall the game is fun and has good graphics and overall quality but costumer service is terrible.
Every time we catch what looks like a decent fish the game freezes and we loose it.
We downloaded this game two days ago , game worked great. Then this morning we open the app and there it is , the update , we thought great what they adding in there now and of course it said bug fixes , we got to tell you the developers you have made this game irritating to try and play , the game freezes nearly everytime we try and fish now , its painfully irritating , plus now the global chat is no longer there so we guess yall removed that for some strange reason , the chat that is there for the lake your at doesnt work and it no longer shows peoples catches other than your own. We were trying to play awhile before we gave a review so we could give a fair assessment but as it is right now we were at a 4 and now Im at a 2 , our suggestion would be put it back like it was before ya messed it up with this latest update.
This game is terrible you cant even sign in and its always telling you to update the game when its already updated.
Wowza! Male here (44) This game is for us!! We love love love fishing, cant even get enough of fishing. The fish everywhere fear us. We are the death of all fish known. We are the reckoning of all fish. Our son (19) hates fishing. He should be euthanized but now that he is 19 we cant. Anyways, Todd over and out.
We downloaded this game a few days ago, and have been hooked on ever since. We have left all our friends just to grind fishing planet! We have been doing nothing else then playing fishing planet. This game is amazing. Wowza! Thank you developers of fishing planet. This game is so well thought out and great. One last time, thank you.
