Community Insight:
It is really cool realistic and very fun.
This horrible, trashy, junky, barely complete, not updated piece of dog doodoo is our only reason to live.
First make it possible to go inside the bridge. Second. When youre in the bridge make it possible to please go in to free cam and see the boat entirely its possible you walk around the boat and islands and make we possible for the character to go on water it make the waves wash over the deck and then add a harpoon gun whale Sharks It would make this game 10 times better even though this game is already amazing.
The game is very fun but one thing we would like you to add is you can walk around the ports and islands.
We lost all our crab traps they just drifted away we were said stay in one spot but radar can we help with your near them and then you have to travel to the cornice of where they are never found them yet we cant buy new ones because we got it we got so many that we put one in a port before we get a new one Theyre all lost.
We had this game on our iPad when we were like 8, it was rather fun and we enjoyed the game a lot. It still stands the rest of time.
How do we? Please write a review to tell us how to earn gems ONLY, not from the chests.
We love this game but the prices should be lowered so we can do more stuff.
We have a question for you how do you find buoys please answer our question other then that we like the game.
So the game is good but we need a little update like having your ship sink walking on deck sharks krakens and heres a bug when ever Im up at the lookout and we go back down with the thing on it stays and we cant get rid of it if Im not back on the crows nest.
Very good game but no bug fixes or updates.
This game is so better then,other games the boat rocks like a real boat and storms are crazy and we love it It shood be a 1000000000 out of inf its the best game and ther is no ads.
Hey we been trying to find a game like this the we found this we were happy anyways heres the one thing its to add ability to walk around the ship we are not asking much just please do that please.
We think this game is awesome although it glitches a bit a couple updates would help we would love it if we could customize the interior of the ship and hire crew mates like real fishing this is a good game totally recommend it.
We should be able to go scuba diving in there should be able to be sharks.
This game is fun and realistic with good graphics, but please add even bigger waves, the ability to actually walk around on the deck, and be able to sink and capsize And multiplayer other than this, its a great fun game.
Great game but updates are needed like better graphics and you gan buy bigger boats and probably multiplayer other than that great app.
This is a good game but it is unclear where the new ports are. Some updates would be nice but the game is great. Downloading it is no mistake. Great job guys.
Graphics are really good, it transfers to day and night. Only complaints are there needs more info how to play like how do you find hot fishing spots, what's the cleaning icon for? Cleaning ship, fish, Other than that we like it.
Awesome game, worth the money. Visually awesome and the fishing is fun. You can drive your boat around anywhere, then stop and fish! You can clean up the boat and buy upgrades, go crabbing, catch shrimp, and sell your catch! Should be more games alike. 5 stars.
Ive been playing awhile and couldnt find any. If they do exist, we think adding a harpoon gun onto the bow of the boat to catch them would be a good addition to the game. Also, you could add a way to catch shellfish like clams and oysters and have lobsters in the crab pots too. You should also add large sharks to catch with the harpoon gun as well. And you should definitely add the ability to walk freely around the boat. Its a great game but It needs updates.
When we went to the store it wouldnt let us watch the free unlock option for all of the modifications for the boat.and the prices are insane the 200,000,000 dollar stuff is stupid no offense please fix the amount of money you have to pay for the equipment.but amazing game nonetheless.
Theres no bridge view where is it.
Steer glitch this game is amazing and we kind of like it not too much but it futures are great.
The upgrade for the shrimp nets are pretty pricey.
We like it just make it more clear on how to play the game maybe make it were you can upgrade to a different ship but quality is amazing and we love the different weather conditions.
Ive played this game of some years now and we think that it needs some work. There really needs to be an update for this game.
Whenever we fish, it always seems like Im getting smaller and smaller fish. Please fix this. We would also like to see a function where you can get new boats and color any of your boats. Great game otherwise.
But where do we find do ports and artifacts and where are the whales at also lower prices like fir the cabbing storage and buoys and radar also we wish that there where more boats to pick from and please putthe whales in the game and lower the prices thanks.
We really enjoy this game, but it seems to have gotten a little stale. New boats would be nice.
We really enjoy the game . We have a few suggestions we think that would help make more fun such as a log to keep track of honey holes , actual depths of water and lastly to not have our crab pots drift off to no where after we set them in a nice string . Took us a half hour to find them once we thought to look at the pot location on the boat they were 9NM away from where we set our string up.
Any updates coming out for this game.
We want to be able to go inside to sleep eat and drive we want that part but if you can do this we want to have guns so you can fight pirates.
Great game but it needs to be finished! Add ports, artifacts, better docking dynamics and storm dynamics … Really awesome start. Very unique and fun. Huge potential.
Would be 5 stars, couple of minor thing to work out. Overall a great experience.
Gorgeous graphic, great feel, everything we've always wanted in a fishing boat game! BUT, this game could be HUGELY successful if you finish it and clean it up.
Great game but it needs some updates.
Very fun game, but it is unclear exactly where to go to find new ports, fishing spots, and treasures and artifacts. Some items in the store need their prices adjusted as people who are going to start playing this game won't have enough money to purchase any interesting items. Other than that the gameplay and physics are amusing. Abby will be much better once updates are released in the future.
This game is good if you want to just waste some time. One thing is the devs need to add ship options. Allow the player to buy/ sell ships and possibly make a fleet of ships that ai will control for passive income.
This is a really cool game and would love to see the bugs fixed in it and for it to be updated. Really cool concept and also would be really cool for an actual console style game….but if the developers wont respond or do the work to fix it then it will not do anybody any good. We enjoy it and we hope they get to work fixing this game soon.
Been playing it for a couple days now. Hate how everything is so expensive and you dont really make much per catch. In the middle of finding new places right now.
Love the game. Wish the upgrades werent so expensive though. They go from 1000 right up to 10000000 too fast and when you earn so little its impossible to upgrade.
Every time we play and get somewhere the game fails and goes back to iPad home screen. When we start again it sends us atleast 320km away which we either have to spend the amount of gold coins as 3-4 trips out or spend half a day letting the app run and hope nothing gets in the way. Otherwise its ok. PLEASE FIX OR we WILL DELETE.
Finding every time we go back in game Im further away from where we left off at. Lots of glitches it was fun but now just frustrating, should have auto save at ports.
Needs a fish finder option to go in the actual cabin. Possible tuna fishing.
We love the game but every time we exit and return it takes us northwest by double the current coordinates. Currently at 1000N x 1000W with no choice but to run out of gas to return to known waters. Very frustrating.
The game is very pretty, but the frame rate is terrible. We have an iPhone 11 pro and this game is choppier than the actual ocean.
We really enjoy this game, but there have been absolutely zero updates and all emails to app support have gone unanswered. You may be wondering why this is a big deal – particularly enough to take three stars off the rating. There are items that after you purchase them end up on dry land, and cannot be accessed. There are traps that go invisible at times – sinking under the water line. The more you pay to upgrade radar, the more it becomes unusable – surely this is not the intent. Just one update per year would be welcome – heck, just one update PERIOD would be good enough for us to make this a five star rating.
We spent $4.99 on the 500 gems and bought all 3 rods and now that we have them we can no longer fish. As in the bait and cast buttons don't even show up! We would like a refund of our $4.99.
Why no option to reverse the look directions? Far too maddening and counterintuitive to play like it is. Why no gorgeous sailing ships? Why the ugliest ship ever? We'd pay $5.99 for it if you had a sailing ship and gave us an option on the look directions.
