Fishbox - Fishing Forecast App for Negative User Reviews
✓ Don’t buy this!Tried out the free trial and it seems their forecast is incorrect every day. Spend your hard earned cash equipment that will actually help you..Version: 5.6.0
✓ Can barely get any info from this appYou need to purchase the subscription to see pretty much anything including just to see weather forecast.Version: 5.5.3
✓ Nothing worth a subscription.Has nothing worth buying in this app. Barley shows any of the spots around other than major waterways and had nothing on species in bodies of water. Just a glorified weather app..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Buy knowing This app is only good for the knotsNot sure why the weather and waves are not accurate little disappointed the knots are cool but the forecast to areas and wave height is in complete left field today they have a small craft marine warning and the wave map say less than a foot and no marine warning on this app but every other weather app has it.Version: 2.22
✓ BADEven if you pay it is bad.Version: 5.1.1
✓ OverchargedSubbed for the 12 month option with an alleged 68% discount. Got charged full price..Version: 2.20
✓ Truth in advertising?The only way you will get a true FISHING forecast is to buy the full package on what seems to be a monthly basis. Otherwise you can keep track of what you caught and get a weather report. Not worth it, since it won't even give best fishing times unless you spend $$. Despite what some of the reviews say, there ARE several better apps out there!.Version: 2.8
✓ 90% chance of a bite….every day nite and dayThis is a waste of time.Version: 5.4.4
✓ Pas terribleHonnêtement une application qui te balance des genre de résultat selon la météo … ça pourrait être bien plus développé pour le prix que ça coûte honnêtement… du genre des endroit recommander l’es descente pour bateaux identifié sur la map ainsi que des endroits où pêcher à Gée bref … pour le prix pas t’en pratique.Version: 5.6.0
✓ Useless appNo fish info and useless.Version: 2.22
✓ LimitsThis is a great app but I live in a rural area and it has no options from fishing spots to even weather.Version: 5.6.0
✓ ChristianI’m trying to click the link to contact you guys and it won’t work. I just opened the app after paying for one year and all it lists are the major lakes in my area which are 15 miles plus away from me and all I want are local ponds and lakes. I signed up 15 minutes ago and would like to cancel my subscription and get a full refund. Thank you Christian.Version: 5.6.0
✓ Literally A Bait and SwitchThis app doesn't give secret fishing spots. Nor does it have videos for the knots. In the preview I saw, a video came up with how to tie the knot. I'm so disappointed. There are free apps out there that can give you the solunar information. I thought I was getting info inn where to fish locally. Totally not the case. You're better off saving your money and downloading Bass Forecast..Version: 2.21.1
✓ Scam. Took my money and then locked me out of the serviceSkipped the 7 day trial charged me the discounted 1 year rate then blocked me from the service after 7 days. The information on the app isn’t really worth it..Version: 5.7.0
✓ Good but not good enoughWhen you put location how to delete that later. Look at tide4fishing. Fish efficiency is for all day or for part of the day.Version: 2.6.1
✓ TerriblePretty much a weather app if you don’t pay kinda wack if you ask me.Version: 2.14
✓ BadThis is so bad u have to pay but on the ads you don’t have to you grubs.Version: 5.6.0
✓ I tried to use the contact us button and it does nothing!This app simply does not work. I tried to contact the company by hitting the contact button and even that doesn’t open. Every location I hit on the lake just says retry. I was going to discuss getting my yearly subscription money back but since the contact me button will not work please refund my money and cancel my subscription..Version: 5.1.0
✓ No videos of knotsBought the app so I can see videos of all different knots but all it does is have a written description of them which I can find on google for free no videos.Version: 2.20
✓ Not worth itDoesn’t let you see basic features unless you pay them don’t bother downloading.Version: 2.10
✓ Less valuable then marketedThe fishing spots do not show up on map after purchase. To contact company and tell them any problems the page will freeze and not allow communication after purchase the fishing spots go away. Also No Tide information so still need to use the internet, basically got tricked into the app for the fishing spots but the disappeared after I bought the 12 month deal. Not very good utilization of time checking app when internet has more information on individual free sites..Version: 2.14
✓ Don’t downloadJust wasted my money in the pic it shows what’s on best biting what a joke with a tide calendar and a diary u could do the same thing.Version: 2.17
✓ Be upfrontBe upfront by advertising the prices right at the very beginning instead of the end. You wasted my time putting in a whole lot of information, providing nothing for me without having to put up dollars. If you had mentioned the dollars at the very beginning you would not have wasted my time. Please go away. Could you even ban me from looking at any of your products in the future..Version: 2.22
✓ It says freeFrom what I have read people are not happy and this add shown free on face book but then they have a charge misleading any app that will do that mislead you keep away and run the other way never trust anyone that lies straight up.Version: 2.23
✓ Waste of moneyThis app is confusing. And pointless. It barely has any fishing spots and it doesn’t give you directions, fish type, etc. literally gives you the forecast at this point I could have just used the free weather app provided on my phone. No help to fishermen at all. And if it does have any of the features I mentioned above I cant find out how to get to them. I had the 7 day free trial and also it doesn’t tell you how to cancel cuz they wanna take your money..Version: 5.6.0
✓ App crashes when accessing the mapThis app looks like it would be quite good but it crashes when using on the iPad and iPhone ANY TIME the map is accessed and a site saved. It also crashes when trying to access the 7 day forecast. I sent the app producer multiple emails and requests for help and have never had a reply. DO NOT BUY THIS APP as there is ZERO support and no information on app crashes..Version: 5.0.1
✓ FishboxI subscribed for 1 month and immediately deleted and have just found my 1 month subs has been debited to my account each month for a year..... watch out.Version: 2.8.3
✓ DeceivingAd shows knot videos but only available with subscription. Save the trouble downloading and I am now deleting the app..Version: 2.21.1
✓ App is making money on one time subscription!It's not doing anything it says on the description. The only thing that works in this app is more own days added by me. Weather, tides and bite it all is incorrect. As I was reading the reviews, others have had same problems a year and 2 years ago too. And still the same. Just avoid purchasing it..Version: 5.6.0
✓ I would like to know how I could cancel my subscriptionThis app is a scam and I would like to know how I could cancel my subscription.Version: 2.16
✓ Not worth itI signed up last year and found it very helpful for new fishermen. Different species have different conditions for when they bite and this app use to help with that. But the option to change species has been disabled for months and no idea when it’s coming back. Without being able to switch species this app is no better then a free fishing app. Don’t waste your money on this app until they update their app to include the different species..Version: 5.5.3
✓ UpdateNot worked since being update. Opens and closes immediately ab865.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Mr MannI think this is the stupidest app I downloaded so far. Wast of time can’t do anything with it until you buy it..Version: 2.22
✓ KnotsI have payed for this app and not got anything more than if I got it for free I want to see the videos of the knots but nothing so a bit disappointed with it.Version: 2.20
✓ Don’t pay for the subscription!Doesn’t show any types of fish not worth paying for.Version: 2.20
✓ Very misleadingBought the membership and it’s pointless. Basically a weather app that shows random locations on waterways. It’s like it’s programmed to just drop an icon on anything blue in color on a map. They all say the same crap. 31% fish score and pretty much the same feeding times. No specific fish come up for the locations. No bait recommendations…nothing of value. Complete waste of money..Version: 2.22
✓ Don’t believe you can cancelIt says you can cancel any time by sending them an email. I sent the email and I was told that you have to do it through your subscription on your Settings. I looked there. They are not there and I was charged for the full year. At this point I am I am going to contact the Better Business Bureau..Version: 5.6.0
✓ Species of fish in each locationThis app is horrible! It doesn’t even say what fish are caught in each Location. I purchased this because on Facebook it said you could pick a fish and the locations would come up. I want a full refund please. This app needs to be free until you collect more data. Currently your misleading purchasers and your adds on Facebook don’t reflect anything close to what your selling. Essentially your selling a map what my phone already has and it’s free!.Version: 2.19
✓ Trial??Hard to tell what the app can do, I guess we all came here for the fishing forecast? You should offer a trial so people can see what they are investing in. Not gonna spend money on a blurred screen.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Unusable - App keeps crashingDon’t waste your money.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Most important feature missingThis app needs to have live tidal information for any location. Fishing rivers and strong tidal areas can be difficult without correct tide information. I can get live tide info anytime on my navionics boating app. I’ve purchased a subscription but it’s not good value with many other important features missing. If you would like to converse about how we can improve app for everyone please contact me anytime. I have 45yrs experience in both commercial and recreational fishing. You have a good base app but it could be the one all fisherman have to have. The world of fishing revolves around word of mouth. If the right fisherman endorse your app then all fishos will want it soon enough. For you it could be the difference between millions and billions. Kind regards Brad Samson Aquatic Services.Version: 3.1.1
✓ OveradvertizedYou can’t see specific fish biting times, the screen that shows you that you can is a fake news. I can get the rest of the info using my other free apps. No point to pay. I paid for the year and after using the app for 5 min I understand that I probably won’t use it anymore..Version: 4.0
✓ Free to download only.All content requires pricy subscription. Not even once off payment. Sick of these products. Waste of App Store space and our time. Pay us the courtesy of an honest representation of costs upfront..Version: 2.22
✓ Didn’t workApp glitches on the last stage of profile set up. Can’t tap the continue button.Version: 3.0
✓ Nice app, but lackingI like this app and I can see how it would be useful in more populated places. I live in a more rural area in the PNW and am aware that there are a ton of places to fish. However, I’m not an expert and could use a little assistance and guidance as far as lures/bait. I thought this app would be helpful, but I find that a lot of my fishing haunts are not listed on the app and they’re not even listed. The closest fishing location with any insight that’s listed on the app is 90 miles away from where I am (which is by a huge river and a bay). Great idea, but kinda a bummer for my general location..Version: 6.0.1
✓ KerrySome of stories don’t work..Version: 5.7.1
✓ Pay pay pay just payJust about fleecing for every cent.Version: 2.21.2
✓ MaddoWhat a useless app, it’s suppose to be a free app and it is to download, unfortunately it doesn't tell you that it’s a waste of time unless you pay for further downloads to make it work at all..Version: 2.13
✓ ErrorsI just started watching and already noticed several errors/inconsistencies btw the video and written directions- for example, on the cinch knot the video shows the correct way, but the written directions end w “put the end through the eye of the hook /lure”…no, you put the end through the gap between the twisted loop and the end of the hook…weird that these aren’t checked more carefully before posting on a site purporting to be expert on these techniques..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Can’t review basic features unless paidI am interested in this app but cannot review the basics that would be expected of an app like this. The features that I am after cannot be used unless paid for. It would be a more intelligent business decision to make this app time limited so that we can see whether this app actually works. I’m uninstalling it and looking for another app that I can actually preview to see if it actually does what it says it does..Version: 2.10
✓ GarbageDon’t waste your time. If u fish u already know how to tie a knot. This app is literally useless..Version: 2.21.2
✓ Costs a lotHave to pay for everything.Version: 5.0
✓ Falls short$36 per year is too much for what it is, when there’s free other apps doing the same.Version: 2.10
✓ Terrible App with no supportThis company advertised at a discounted rate then charged a full amount. Despite numerous emails and screenshots of their advertised price sent to them I got no response. Very disappointed. Full refund issued by iTunes. Do not buy this App..Version: 2.16
✓ Useless unless you payThe apps functionality is extremely limited unless you pay, however I’m not going to pay for something that has demonstrated 0 value beforehand..Version: 2.22
✓ Do not buy if in CanadaIt has some decent features IF YOU PAY but only for the US , if your from CAD , it is a WASTE of MONEY. Your better off using Fishbrain or fish angler.Version: 5.5.3
✓ Scam don’t buy !In Cape Breton Nova Scotia and it’s telling me my lake behind my parents property 1.2 miles up a mountain has excellent fishing when in fact hasn’t been fished in since 1980 and all the fisher man are long passed…..Version: 5.6.0
✓ False advertisingThe map and weather on this app is a nice feature, but I’m actually disappointed this app doesn’t have the feature about recommended bait and lures for different fish which was actually advertised? Pretty shady considering you’re paying good money for this app.. hopefully this feature will be added soon or I’ll be cancelling my subscription. For that I’ll give it two stars.Version: 5.5.1
✓ Waste of MoneyJust research about fishing for free online, the free version of this app gives you nothing. Don’t bother.Version: 2.22
✓ Require premium for all featuresMight as well make the app cost something..Version: 2.22
✓ PricingSo far this app has been amazing all except for one main factor. Prcicing the way the app displays its information makes me feels as though I have to to pay and if I weren’t it is too little of an outcome for me and might not be something I would want to further look into the pricing is high and unfair for people who might not have the money to spend on apps. Either than that main concern the app has been pretty good I feel it could be better I’m in the middle..Version: 5.6.1
✓ ArnaqueL'application est à moins de 50% en français.Version: 5.2.2
✓ HorribleI want to cancel but nothing works to contact.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Not calibrated - don’t waste your moneyI used to think this App was great back in 2017, but these days it is a waste of money. The basics are not even calibrated, like the tide times - currently it shows that 10 minutes ago I have just had a low tide, yet I’m 20 mins off a high tide..Version: 2.14
✓ UserBasically a weather app, ain’t paying for the app.Version: 5.6.0
✓ UselessIt would be really helpful if this app told you the regulations of the river and lakes.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Apo sucks want refundThis app is totally ridiculous doesn’t really tell you anything that I needed help as a beginner that I already know before hand of fishing for example knots, things like type of species and hotspots would of been a great add on feature only thing tells you different knots.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Don’t do itThis app is a rip off! I want my money back... CPW app has way more features for free! This app doesn’t have info on half the lakes in the state, it’s basically a weather app with info on tying knots, all info you could easily get elsewhere. Nothing about the fish in various lakes, nothing about strategy, just weather for SOME lakes and knots... that’s pretty much it..Version: 2.21
✓ 14$ a month ‼️‼️Are you kidding me?.Version: 4.1.0
✓ 7 day trial is a scamTook the 7 day trial, didn’t like the app and canceled, but they took my money anyway. Terrible.Version: 5.5.1
✓ Fishing SpotsLove the forecast feature of the app. Living in Southern California though, the app shows numerous water ways, creeks etc that have been dry for decades and there is no way to remove them or gray them out. When i first installed I thought, great lots of places to fish then once I started digging through maps etc you realize that a good amount of the waterways don’t have water….algorithm predicts “good bites”..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Wouldn’t recommendThis says it’s free then once you download it it’s useless if you don’t pay all you can do is look at maps and a catch and look at knots you can’t even look at the forecast.Version: 5.4.1
✓ Not waste your money here.This is a trap, it gives you a free trial, and don’t have options for you to cancel the subscription when you don’t like the service. When I contact them to cancel my subscription, they give me an offer with a lower rate. Of course I don’t need this app, it’s waste of money..Version: 5.4.0
✓ HorribleYou have to pay so you can see all the things it shows on the pictures and if you don’t then there is no point of having the app as you can’t even use it.Version: 3.1.0
✓ BasicWorked until it didn’t work so. Unsubscribing waste of money..Version: 5.5.0
✓ What’s the point?This app shows you the weather. Nothing more really..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Don’tDon’t just don’t, it’s a money pit… Half of the info you can google.Version: 3.0.5
✓ Only a week viewI would like to see monthly predictions. Good daily information.(on subscription version only) Subscription price is very expensive. No forecast information shown on free version..Version: 5.2.2
✓ ReviewAdvertised fishing spots, doesn’t give fishing spots.Version: 2.23
✓ Maybe in the future?It made me pay for it before I could see that nothing was even available in my state…. Maybe in the future have an option that says “not yet available in your area, but stay tuned” or something of the sort. Honestly, I live in the most ideal state for this app to have been designed & tested on. Update for the developer response: I wasn’t saying I wasn’t happy to pay for an app. That wasn’t the problem. The problem lies where I paid for it, AND THEN it told me it wasn’t available in my area. So I paid for nothing. It’s not that I couldn’t figure out the app, thank you for patronizing me though..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Nothing will loadNot worth the money.Version: 5.6.0
✓ SubscriptionIs this a free app no money at all for subscription.Version: 2.22
✓ InaccurateI watch the app 3 to 4 days ahead of time to pick the best time to fish. It will say fish are biting 88 percent. It will say this for two to three days before right up to the night before and in the morning when time to go it’s says average 43 percent or in 40 range. Haven’t been able to get a single day in fishing where the app says favorable in the green since I downloaded the app..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Keeps shutting downFrustrated.Version: 5.1.1
✓ RubbishTakes ages to load anything you do and hardly any lakes onit.Version: 5.4.1
✓ Too expensive and English only. Also can’t write my reviewCan’t see what I am writing.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Worst app don’t botherStraight away you must pay the subscription just to even use any of the features on it.. other than that all you can see is temperature 🤨can’t even see some thing as basic as tides which you can just do through your weather app, what a waste of time downloading !.Version: 2.10
✓ Why did I pay for premium if no premium layers workThis app is super glitchy. When I first downloaded it seemed promising but of course the second I started paying for the premium version, it stopped working as advertised. The hot spots layer does not work, AT ALL. Once you select this layer, it also makes the waterways layer not work. Only thing that works is the waterways layer. If I just needed to know where waterways were I would just look at google maps and use my eyeballs, not pay for an app to tell me something that’s clear as day..Version: 5.7.1
✓ Too expensive for things you can find on Google mapsGood concept but really expensive at $7/month jus to try it out…. Google Maps.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Fishbox PremiumDon’t subscribe. There is no facility for turning off periodic payments on IOS devices as they fraudulently claim in their terms and conditions.Version: 2.8.2
✓ Waste of money0 ‘secret fishing spots’ paid $40 for a year subscription and tells you no more than the weather app on your phone, don’t recommend,.Version: 2.22
✓ GarbageWasted my money..Version: 2.23
✓ Not greatTide times are completely wrong if you’re using the app in Australia.Version: 2.9
✓ Terrible appThey want payment for the free things you can find on Willy Weather App - just silly.Version: 2.8.3
✓ Terrible appPaid for a year subscription and the app has already locked me out of my own pinpointed fishing spots, customer service doesn’t respond Once again locked out of my own subscription this app is the worst….save your time and money and go with the other apps..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Review and cancellationThis app does not give me the level I need so I am canceling my subscription.Version: 4.0
✓ Pay to see how to tie a basic knot?Utter garbage..Version: 2.22
✓ AnnoyingThis may be a good app but I think it is annoying how they want be to upgrade BEFORE I’ve even used it and then want my review after about 20 seconds of me using it. That’s just dumb so I’m annoyed..Version: 3.0.3
✓ FishboxThe site is really not user friendly and when you Enquirie about the issues, no one ever gets back to you. The forecast seldom works and it takes forever to download..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Waste of moneyAll it’s good for is looking at the weather. The bite forecast is never correct, and more often it’ll say a bad bite and the bite is good. All the other benefits can be gotten from free apps!.Version: 5.5.3
✓ AverageIt’s an ok app, mainly used it for the weather forecast. Certainly won’t be paying for it now they’ve added a subscription fee.Version: 5.6.0
✓ Manque d’information avant l’achat de l’appliIl n’y a pas de bon site de pêche indiqué pour le Québec, seulement les cours d’eau sont indiqués. Moi qui pensais avoir trouvé une bonne appli pour la pêche au Québec, je me suis fait avoir..Version: 4.0
✓ Not worth itThere’s nothing that puts this app over the top. It takes maps on my phone and weather and shows me them in their app. Information I can get just by going to maps or weather reports. It does have the knots section which is really cool…. But once again I can get that on others apps… that are free. Great idea but has a lot of growth before it’s even close to a top dollar fishing app..Version: 2.21.2
✓ Why charge a subscription?All this info you can get for free off the net. A subscription fee has turned me away..Version: 2.9
✓ Has PotentialOk app, would be good to be able to see what types of fish people are catching and on what bait at the locations on the map..Version: 2.14
✓ I want to know we’re the fish are being caught and what breed.We’re all the fishing spots and the fish people have been catching. I got water way and what time is best for fishing and that’s it. I want to know the hot spots in the area and there’s nothing. It’s only self record of what I catch now one else..Version: 2.16
✓ LameLame.Version: 5.6.0
✓ MisleadingVery misleading Doesn’t give you any info without paying Scam.Version: 2.8.2
✓ Don’t use if you live one the west coast in CanadaTried to log a yellow eye rockfish and it doesn’t have any species of rockfish this app sucks.Version: 5.6.0
✓ Take your money, be carefulClicked on the page in App Store and signed me up and took money just because I opened the app..Version: 4.0
✓ ScamWhy is this a free app if all the the features of the app are only on premium?! This is a scam that makes you download the app but then it’s useless unless you buy premium. All free aspects could be known for free such as weather forecast!!.Version: 2.23
✓ UselessNot worth the money. Want my money back..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Nothing useful without shelling out cashThis app has zero useful information you couldn’t get from another app—unless you pay subscription fees. Considering the tracking they do and the date they collect, I expect way more free features. Deleting forever unless they unlock some of the app..Version: 2.22
✓ No good.No social media No profile No sharing catches Grammar is awful Knot explanations are just garbage Save your money and watch YouTube videos..Version: 2.20
✓ Misunderstanding or clever business to take my money?I paid for a premium subscription , supossed to expire December 23. I cancelled it to prevent autorenewal in case I did not use it. The payment went through, used the app for several months as expected. The app erased my features now with 4 months left until December 23 and is saying that they cannot honor the December 23 expiration date. They have an AI answering emails and no person to handle problems. I Just do not want to pay for the time I already paid..Version: 5.7.0
✓ Just garbage!!Yeah I use your other resources YouTube and for whatever not weather.com network whatever the hell this app is garbage and I wasted my money.Version: 2.21.1
✓ Useless appThe app just shows you the weather forecast and some knots in the free version. Can’t see any real use for it.Version: 2.22
✓ Not the bestSends out best fishing for the weekend but once used it disappears and cant see it again, not happy, this needs to be there if you need it.Version: 3.0.5
✓ Don’t waste your moneyThis app is literally google maps. There’s way better apps out there. This app is useless and go have to pay just as much as the other fishing apps with 90% less features. This is a rip off app. Just don’t waste your money and get something else..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Difficulty placing locationsJust payed the 12 months premium and now learnt that placing my fishing locations in southern Western Australia is not supported. I wish there was a trial before paying in order to see if this application will be effective in one’s local area.Version: 3.1.0
