Ratings and reviews

The idé behind it is good but it need some improvement. 1: it keeps changing the fish species to what it thinks is the right one when you are registering the fish, making the hole progress take ages. 2: it gives you a estimated weight, that you have to manually change to make it want to put that in when you registering a fish. 3: it doesn't save you previous picked option on privacy that you dont want to share where your fish was caught.

No free features. I'm wary of signing up for 3 day free trials then an automatic $50 charge if the app doesn't at least give me something that indicates it works. Social media feed is a few Swedish dudes. They have what looks like a photography mode to ID Fish, but it crashed my app.

This is the new edition of the former Fiskher app. But it is even better. I never go fishing without it. It is easy to use, and makes fishing so much more fun. It has been developed over many years, and is now of the highest quality. It has all features that a hobby fisherman wants. All my favorite fishing spots has come from this app, and I also like recording my catch in the app so that i will never forget. It estimates weight and length very correctly and the functions are easy to use.
