Fishing Points: Map & Forecast for Negative User Reviews

✓ ???How do you add location then look at the details of those saved locations? How do you rename those saved locations or do each coordinate has and must be entered? You actually charge for this?.IcetstaVersion: 1.0.9

✓ Needs work, including making it easy to contact support.This app has lots of useful features, but there’s a lot that’s not very intuitive. Why can’t I search for a location on the map? Why can’t I find support to ask you that from within the app?.User4678Version: 2.0.1

✓ Why get something for free when you can pay $10??First impression was that it was a pretty smooth looking app. Easy to save a new spot, and quick to load. Want to see the forecast for tomorrow, though? Ooooooo... yea, that'll be $10. Come on, you can view this data for free online; why on earth would anyone pay that much for it? You can see the tides for a specific area for the year 3240 if you wanted RIGHT NOW, but the app won't show it for tomorrow?? SMH.InstagramMyNutsVersion: 1.0.5

✓ Terrible dataThe app itself is built out very well and has every category I am looking for but it’s useless if the data is wrong. The app says half foot swells and it’s 3/4 ft when I go out. Says 95 fish activity on days when Florida fish and game has it rated the worst for a two week period (and they have never steered me wrong). Have looked and it says virtually no chance of rain but every other source says the complete opposite. Definitely need to improve the data before I would think about paying.SWFL fishingVersion: 2.6.1

✓ This app averageDoesn’t show what I need.ToulaluabaVersion: 2.4.3

✓ Lack of wave height predictionsI am trying to use app to find wave heights and it displays No Internet Connection when The device is connected. Not happy..Grunta55Version: 2.4.2

✓ TerribleTides are so far out it’s not even funnny want a full refund.Crazii eyesVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Tide issuesI signed up for the $29 a year subscription so I could get the tides but unfortunately the tides were wrong which is downright dangerous as I live near Derby which has some of the highest tides in the world. I really like the app so far apart from this serious glitch.Hutchi44Version: 2.2.9

✓ Will this app’s maps work offline/ off grid in mid Canada?Need an app that can record our route on a lake in Canada and be able to retrace our route to get back to the lodge basecamp. Can this app do all that? Offline and using gps only? Thanks.Jel304Version: 2.4.9

✓ A lot of confusionI go out constantly during high fishing activity on Atleast a dozen occasions and never get a bite . Last night it said 98 percent fishing activity . But the area had 15 MPH winds with waves of 4.4 coming at you from the surf . No one could cast far enough or keep their rig from washing ashore . But then the other night I go out and it’s a average fishing activity , and not even the best time to go from what the app says , yet I caught fish all night. I will say that the app has other good features . I’m sure the developers put a lot of time into making this app. But the factors for fishing activity don’t work..AssholfeverVersion: 2.2.0

✓ Marginal appThis app produces the height and interval for waves, swell, and wind waves at a location you set. However, there are no tutorials as to how this app intends the user to “apply” this information. Should this data be averaged, combined? Also, the same tab “waves” on my app says winds S/SW for tomorrow 30 August but when I select the “weather” tab it says winds are N/NE (location and date the same). Overall the app does not appear to give the data in a useful manner to a user nor does it appear the source of their data is consistent. Unless the user was paying attention you can read the wrong info....JWB310Version: 1.6.1

✓ Not working in my regionShows super active fish, but it’s not a true.Aleksrum11Version: 2.5.5

✓ CliveI have found that you can do virtually nothing with the free version which means the app providers have set it so you have to pay or get nothing so they don’t get my vote..Pello555Version: 1.9.3

✓ There is no information about the condition of the wavesI just renewed my subscription and I see the old problem aganin ,application does not show information about the waves.Bleade 123Version: 2.5.2

✓ Ben AdamsSigned up for 1 year subscription. When I changed to a new phone it seems my account is now inactive and I need to pay again. Only ticked one star because you can’t tick zero stars. Not happy and won’t be paying for another subscription unless I get some help from someone at fishing points. But can’t find any way to contact you.😡.UudkydjgxkxyVersion: 1.9.3

✓ Was fantastic! Now not workingBeen using the App for two years now and has been the best but now it’s not working at all, won’t open. Paid for a subscription and no support. Disappointing, all this saved data and can’t access it. I know of people that have reinstalled it and lots everything so their back up system isn’t working. Maybe they have been hacked to get all the good fishing locations or they have just run off with it themselves.Jessbo4665Version: 2.4.6

✓ Not overly accurateWhen you have marked a location and you use the app to go back to that location it will gin you around turning you in circles.Fast 55 JohnsonVersion: 1.1.9

✓ MAJOR CHANGE!!!! Bad!!!!I have been using this app for years. I am a paying for the PREMIUM version. Best I’ve used…..BUT….a major change on the app has list me as a customer, and everyone else in my Fishing Club. The “Nautical Map” no longer shows your current boat location, so you have NO IDEA what the water depth is on the route you are on. This is HIGHLY dangerous here on the West Coast if Florida. Lots of shallow water and oyster bars, and if you don’t know exactly where you are “located” on the Nautical Map, you can easily run aground. This feature has worked for YEARS!!!! Now all of a sudden, it no longer works on the Nautical Map. It does work on the other three types of maps on the app, but NONE of those three show water depth….so what good are they???? DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!.Fishon8888Version: 2.4.3

✓ Your nautical charts are ridiculousYou spell out every last name of every buoy that shows up on the chart. It’s nothing but a garbled mess. It also has a hard time coming up on my screen because of TMI. I’m at home trying to use it on a Wi-Fi and it’s having a hard time down loading, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like on a cell signal on the ocean..Rag&BoneVersion: 2.3.0

✓ Good for people with 0 idea.This app kinda does everything but also doesn’t do it as good as others. I would have subscribed to premium if you offered me something that wasn’t readily available elsewhere for free. I.e your fish species list for my area (Queensland) is so incomplete it’s laughable. The concept is awesome though the facts, size limits, max age of fish all good, maybe age at legal length would be awesome! Make your list more expensive than the chart I have stuck to a wall on my boat and you’ll get more subscriptions..The fishing guruVersion: 2.2.7

✓ Reasonable app bad backupI purchased a 12 month subscription with a 24 hour cancellation period. The app didn’t have one of the options I was after and upon trying to cancel it within the 24 hour period the link didn’t work from the email. I had to spend 30 min on the phone messaging Apple to finally cancel it. Not impressed. Funny how the only link that dosnt work in the email from apple is the cancellation link..Bone 2021Version: 2.0.1

✓ DissatisfiedThe app doesn’t have satellite capabilities when choosing a new fishing location and furthermore nor does it have the ability to name a location instead it’s reliant on the name it chooses which makes it quite difficult to differentiate between different locations. Very disappointed I will not be renewing my subscription unless this changes..LmjiVersion: 1.9.0

✓ Tide timesSeems to have an issue with tide times for your location. In my instance it shows the next low tide at around 10:00 am when in fact it’s around 2:00pm..They call me GodfreyVersion: 2.6.4

✓ No nautical charts for AustraliaOnly nautical charts for the US. I’m not interested in the using the app until there are nautical charts available in this app for AUS..Rob_SydneyVersion: 1.6.4

✓ Too ExpensiveLove the app, it has a lot of useful features, runs well, etc. However, would be nice if it had a one time fee as in my opinion it's pretty pricey. But that's just my 2 cents..TechknowsVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Maps UnreliableAustralian nautical map only works sometimes wouldn’t be reliable source when remote..Tyrone101187Version: 1.8.0

✓ Don’t subscribe. it didn’t workEven thoug i had valid subscription and i was able to check it from Aplle menu, the app never allowed me to reactivate the subscription. I might be just in bad luck but that’s what happened to me.DeepGnocchiVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Good and BadThere are things I like about the app like being able to save fishing spots. But getting to a mark spot by being able to create a path- no much help. Support seems nonexistent. The videos are not narrated and mostly useless. I want to like this app but for the cost it’s not enough versatility..JJ MrLureVersion: 2.6.4

✓ 1-Star because I can’t figure out how to share between iPad & iPhoneI have a decent understanding of electronics but I cannot figure out how to share my information between devices. I upgraded to premium in order to load my entire list of the waypoints for the lake where I fish. I entered the waypoints on my iPad since it’s easier then downloaded the app to my iPhone. It now appears the apps on my iPhone and my iPad do not communicate with each other. Is there a way I can log in and register my information or am I required to buy the app again for my iPhone then again load my waypoints? The lake on which I fish is only 800 acres. There are about 20 locations I want to load into a fishing app with Google Maps. I want to be able to go directly to my locations using GPS on my iPhone and/or iPad. If I cannot use the app between both devices then I would like to receive a refund on my purchase. Thank you....Luke B..Luke BurwellVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Unable to delete subscription!This app makes it very difficult to unsubscribe. I hope l won’t get charged after 5 minutes of trial l deleted the app. Most difficult app to unsubscribe I’ve come across!.VDT KaiVersion: 2.6.3

✓ Not useful without premiumLots of cool features in this app, but forecasting is a premium feature so without it you can only see the conditions for today, which you can do by looking out the window. In Australia premium is $30/year.EissanteVersion: 1.8.6

✓ Am I the only one who is looking for a fishing spots by species?I installed the app. Within 10 minutes, I figured out that it will not work for me. I am looking for an info for a fishing spots for a specific species within specific inshore LI sound area. I.e where to go for a fluke or stripper fishing - this is not mapped in the app. And there is no easy way to unsubscribe from the app..Tank usVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Was greatWas loving it for about 2 years plus another 3 I had data added in then it wouldn’t allow me to sign in I regularly backed it up and all my data was lost now I have to start over with most of the info lost you can’t trust it for your main diary I’m going back to a hand written diary and using WillyWeather for free..NgjgbgfbgfVersion: 2.4.0

✓ Latest version not workingThe latest version opens on iPhone 6 but goes to background and doesn’t open correctly. Information says it is good for iOS 12 and above which I have but it doesn’t open correctly..Teakay2Version: 2.1.0

✓ RIP off, don’t botherYou have to pay to use the main feature of the app. It’s basically just a map which I already have on my phone with no markings of fishing spots. I’ve checked the rivers and lakes around me and nothing, I also checked rivers and lakes further away and in other countries to see if anyone had left a fishing spot markers on them but no, am I using it wrong or is it just a scam....Derner1Version: 1.9.0

✓ Inaccurate DataThis app provides incredibly inaccurate data. I’ve gone out on the water when it says the swell will be 2.4’ and it is double that. On the other hand I’ve gone out when it says the swell will be 5’+ and it was like glass out. On the plus side, the presentation of the data, inaccurate or not, is flawless. This is what I would want from an app especially when I pay for a subscription. Would just like the swell data to be more accurate..FishhhinVersion: 1.5.4

✓ No fish at high activityI was originally excited about this app. Living on salt water enables us to go fish (whether on the dock or out in the boat) at a moment’s notice. So we tested the ‘high fish alert’ on 3 separate occasions. Both on the dock and in the boat. Luckily the buoy this app pulls tides/info from is about a quarter mile away. All 3 times we were skunked...not a bite and no activity in the water. Spoke to some commercial watermen who verified it wasn’t the time to fish. We went out at a low activity time (based on this app) but when the local commercial fisherman told us to go. Slayed them. So, although we loved the bells and whistles of this app, some of them just dont work..ShowHorsesVersion: 1.6.0

✓ WhyWhy can’t it let you put in coordinates and it save the ones you put in.AcottyfishoVersion: 1.2.6

✓ No lake depthNot seeing any lake depth on the map. The only reason I subscribed.Kelv102Version: 2.0.0

✓ This is a jokeI bought this thinking it was legit. I did the free trial but I soon found out that this app was not convenient and to pay money was not worth it. That’s when I cancelled my subscription to find out that it charged me even though I canceled it. I’m very mad because it charged me $32. If I can get a refund please contact me it’s too much money that you have taken..YessshdhdVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Was good..then stopped workingThis is a good app; when it works. I paid for a premium subscription which I really enjoyed. One day i updated the app and since then it won’t acknowledge the premium upgrade. I paid again assuming my year had run out (possibly unnecessarily), but it still won’t restore the premium service. Very dissatisfied...BaggerfanVersion: 2.1.1

✓ Data doesn’t change scammmmApp is a scam can set location to Geraldton says very good time 96%Then can change location to Brisbane and says the exact same thing.Joshy yyVersion: 1.9.7

✓ Over charged!I paid for a one year sub and you charged me each month as well! Is this a scam?.RichbellNZVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Fish ActivityIn my last review I searched on days with high fish activity in the 90s and caught relatively nothing. I had 2 ither days scheduled in the 90s and blank them also. Yesterday fishing activity was rated a 7, very very low and I caught 4 yellowtail and two very large Bonita! As far as fish activity rating of this app goes, it is horrible. I do like the locations sides of it though. I can mark places I catch fish like Waypoints on a Fish Finder. This makes finding hotspots so easy since I fish different boats a lot in the Freedom Boat Club..Fwolfe49Version: 1.6.4

✓ Missing dataWhy can’t you enable in settings creak and other names?.Smoke N JoeVersion: 2.4.0
