Community Insight:
This game is very good and has many places to fish and just is supper fun.but we have one question how to fried someone,if you can cause we feel like it wasnt supper clear.
Try it, its the best. Please never close it down.
This game is better than the other ones we have! We like this game because our papa (grandpa,) has a pond we fish at. So this is the game for us! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS GAME.
The game is so fun you will never get bored.
This game is extremely fun and the level ups are overpowered. We say this game should have lures to catch bigger fish and how many feet each fish is.
We really like this game but there should be Lewers and live bait not just live bait and you shouldnt be catching minnows on a fishing pole and you should be able to go to different places on the lake.
This game is a very fun and exotic game we really recommend this game to anyone.
We love this game it has no adds but we would like the time on visas to be shorter and we would like to be able to sell bait and chum like we can with rods otherwise its fun.
This game is awesome all of the fish species is realistic the tutorials are also great you can fish so many places its awesome but we do have 1 problem when you unlock a new location you have to wait like 2days to play it and thats a long time for a game so we think the wait time should be at least a little bit shorter but besides that AMAZING GAME.
This game is pretty good but it madebme quit for one reason. If we bought something, half the time it would flippin scam us and not give it to us. This caused us to have to spend our hard earned money on this game just so we could buy the boat cuz we spent 1000 coins on it, and then it didn't give it to us. Otherwise the game is fine. It's pretty challenging and long.
We were playing and we bought a boat and it took the $1000 but it said we didnt buy it please give our money or boat and fix this bug.
We would really love to play this game, but it heats our phone up fast. We have the iPhone 12 Pro max. Ive played other fishing simulators that dont heat up our phone. This game seems amazing otherwise.
Happened to us several times frustrating that nowhere to complain . Enter Fish frenzy , catch some fish and its not counted.
Ok we purchased a limited time offer and didnt get the gold fix please also give us our money back of the gold… They fixed this problem for us besides that problem the game is one of the best on the AppStore especially if youre into fishing.
This is one of if not the best game we have ever played.
This game is most likely the best mobile fishing game we ever played! There are so many fish to catch and so many locations and spots to unlock. This game simply never gets boring. But we would recommend to the developers that they should add new locations to keep the game from getting stale for the players who have already unlocked and caught everything. This would add many different possibilities. Our recommendations include: – new location: Mediterranean Sea. This could create the possibilities of deep sea rods and new bait for big deep sea fish such as new species of shark and species of billfish. This could also add other smaller species, too. -Location: the Hawaiian islands. This could create the possibilities of new colorful species such as clownfish, tuna, and mahi-mahi -new object: bait bucket. This tool can be bought when you unlock the last location. This object can give you certain bait every time you catch a certain fish. If you catch a bluegill, you get a panfish. Catch a minnow? You gat a minnow for bait. This can include many other species. All in all, this game is already awesome, but that does not mean that there is no room for improvement.
You should add more fish on this game.
This game is awesome, but they should really add albinos we think that would make the gameplay 10x better.
The game is really good but the bad part is you need internet connection so if youre a person that likes to travel you might not like it. But overall the game is pretty awesome.
We loved this app a few years back, so we downloaded it again but when we clicked open it crashed and now we cant play it because it crashes every single time we open it. Please fix this.
We really need to know how to restore our purchases in the game because we made a purchase we are not very happy about. Thanks.
So there is a glitch that will take your money and your thing that you bought. We keep buying baits and stuff but then we forget about the glitch and we leave to soon and we lose our money and the bait. We just recently purchased a $1600 dollar rod in the game and once again it took all of our money and we lost the rod. This game may be fun but it is very annoying and pisses us off when things like that happens. And sometimes the game just kicks us out for no reason. This game is not that good with the design with buying things.
Update: Recently the game wont open, and says it cannot connect to the server. So sad, too bad. This game has some nice pros, and some very serious cons. On the happy side: beautifully rendered graphics, with night fishing in some locations, and a vast variety of fish species, bait, chum, equipment, etc. Daily and location challenges keep it interesting, and we imagine the team competition aspect could eventually be a blast. On the downside: plenty of times Ive bought items in the fishing store, they show purchased, but never appear in our game inventory. So, we pay hard-earned game currency for bait we never get in our backpack. To this end, the game (like most sports games) is obviously designed with hefty in-game purchasing in mind. It seems far too difficult to progress with any joy without dipping into our wallet, and we refuse to do this for a buggy game. Might keep it for occasional play, but will probably continue to search for a better choice.
The game is repeatedly crashing when we try to open it and we're not 100% sure why.
Its an ok game, not very realistic on where fish are, types of bait, etc, but it could be relaxing and a joy to play…however, the game is constantly resetting and closing. You lose fish and energy (we never found casting to be as exhausting as the game makes out to be) each time it resets. It became so frustrating that we just cant play anymore.
We havent played this game in about 2 years. We just found it again today! We have been playing it for hours straight. Absolutely a very good game. We love fishing in real life and this relates to that.
If you are thinking about purchasing the game, you should! The game doesn't get boring! You can compete, get gold, win trophies, do challenges, and much more! You can also buy yours own bait, chum, rods, and snacks. It's also super exiting when you unlock a new location and catch new fish! It's also fun to get new fish records. You can also make groups. The higher level you get the better bait, rod, and chum you can get! It's fun to compare fish sizes with people. You can chat and trade bait! You can get bait you have never used before! And catch new fish. When you catch a new fish, it's exiting to see what it looks like. There's also legendary fish you can catch. Now, those are the tough ones. You also have a fish book, which is to see what fish you have caught. It's fun to experiment with different bait and see what fish you can catch! So, if you like to do these things, this is the perfect game for you.
As an avid angler, this game does an excellent job in capturing the essence of fishing. Out of all the fishing games we've tried, none came close to the real thing as much as this game. However, the game does contain a lot of glitches, specifically connectivity issues. It keeps saying the game needs internet and is unable to connect to server. Another message we constantly receive is "Oops! Something went wrong! This can happen if the game is played on multiple devices" which makes no sense bc the only device we've ever downloaded this game on is our current phone. Other than the glitches, we feel the energy regeneration to be a little slow, but other than that, the game has amazing potential and contains great content.
We cant get into the game it just says loading.
Was fun but the app only opened one time. Every time we load it now it shows the loading screen for about 3 seconds then exits the app.
We love fishing and there's a game for it. This is one of the best and most relaxing game we've ever played.
This is the best "hand held" or mobile fishing game we've ever played. Ability to move and react are great and the graphics are better on your phone that desk top or lap top.
Easy to navigate and play. We play everyday and we are totally hooked (no pun intended). Download this game if you love to fish and you won't be disappointed.
We have been playing this game for close to a year since beta version. Totally relaxing and you can catch over 200+ fish. You won't want to put it down and this is definitely the only game you need on your phone if you enjoy fishing.
The game keeps force closing every time we try to buy a certain fishing pole or any equipment. Please fix it it's driving us crazy.
This game is THE! Best multi-species fishing game out there on the market. Thanks InertiaSoft for creating this game for us multi species angling fans.
