1. 5/5Love SC Fishing

   My husband and I fish in an ocean inlet while on vacation several times a year. We catch so many different species of fish that look similar or down right bizarre looking. I decided to purchase this app to properly identify our catch and the area’s regulations. I have been using this app for well over a year and absolutely love it! Before using this app, we were throwing fish back we thought we could not keep. We were wrong! I was initially on the fence about purchasing this app, but very happy that I did. As long as I’m fishing, I will have this app.

2. 1/5Horrible Support

   The reason I’m giving this application a one star is because of bad support. I have paid the premium service and waited a few days to see if it has changed, but unfortunately nothing has changed. I can take a picture to see what species I caught but nothing in the regulations which was the reason I paid the premium service. Very disappointing, I have sent various emails to the developers and haven’t heard back from them. After a few days I paid and verified PayPal with them sending a receipt still can’t get the species regulations. I have verified my location automatically and manually and still nothing. I still get this message “Species may be regulated your area. Please verify your location for correct regulations.” It has cool features but the developers need to fix those bugs and reply to paid customers.

3. 5/5Amazing and Accurate

   Ignore those negative reviews, they must be written by jealous competitors. As a Novice angler and new to the area my local tackle store suggested I download FishVerify since it was the only app that let me know what I caught and the rules on how big and how many fish we could legally keep. Every fish (16 different species) we scanned came back perfect. Kudos to the FishVerify team as they made the app so easy to use that anyone with basic fishing skills can look like a seasoned angler.

4. 4/5Great app but lacks locations

   I just used this app and paid for premium while fishing the coast of NC. It worked great and I felt super confident knowing the regulations. That was certainly a 5 star experience but going back home to PA I noticed my state is totally not covered. I had to drop my subscription since I’ll end up using a different tool while at home. To be clear this app is ridiculously fantastic and a must have fishing app if you are in a supported location. I hope the dev team continues to add more locations. If PA gets added I will happily subscribe again.

5. 2/5I was excited at first, but…

   I’m not an expert saltwater fisherman. I thought this was the perfect app to make sure I didn’t break the rules. First couple of times I used it, the weather was bad so I was fishing in the west Coast intercoastal waterway in Florida. Worked great. Then the weather calmed, and I took the boat out into the gulf. Well guess what? When you’re out of cellular range this app does nothing to help you real time. It says take a photo and when you get back to connecting to the Internet, it’ll tell you about the fish. Doesn’t really help me stay legal. Very disappointed and I won’t be renewing my $20 a year. Waste of money for my kind of fishing.
