Netfish - Social Fishing App Reviews

Awesome app. Works great and doesn't crash on me. Also I am so excited that it doesn't cost anything like the other apps. But the only 2 problems are that the points are so low compared to the rewards and there is not a whole lot of lakes that I can find exactly what lures to use there. Most of the lakes I look up whether it be Okeechobee or Lake Fork the lures to use is always the same and really doesn't help out a lot on that. The points to redeem a reward are outrageous. I figured that if u want the hobie kayak which is 900,000 points then u would have to post a catch every day for 82 years to get it. Whenever I am 90 something years old I am not going to want a kayak anymore. There are other ways to get more points but it would take you years to save up for something like the kayak, yeti cooler, or ibobber without going to the website and buying stuff to get 1,000 points. To fix this add more ways to earn points or lower the points required to get rewards. If this and the lure to use on whichever lake was fixed it would be a easy 5⭐️ app.

I have read a few other reviews and I agree with people about the points. Way too high for some things on here but that’s not something that greatly concerns me. What does get me is I like to use fishing near me and the one spot that I keep getting doesn’t even exist any more. They drained that pond years ago. Living in Kansas I do have great places to fish but I am always looking for more. I have no problem traveling to fish either. Maybe increase the search parameters for that to include 100 miles or more from current location. Also I would second the notion that there needs to be more detailed info on what to use in different waters. It says same thing for everything in Kansas. It doesn’t work that way here just saying. On a separate note I do have an ibobber and yes I love using it and it has helped me land or my daughter land the fish I have uploaded to Netfish . Thanks for taking time to read this.

So let me start by saying that I understand this is a free app. Unfortunately you get what you pay for (or didn't pay for). Netfish requires you to give details about your catch, which would be fine if they had everything you needed. Multiple major brands are missing (Bass Pro included), so when I went to post about my catch I had to pick a bunch of gear I didn't use. This renders an app like this nearly useless. If the point is to share information then there needs to be custom fields or a way to omit details that don't list your gear. I also found the map feature restrictive and difficult to use. I searched for a well known lake in my area and it was the very last choice in the list of about 15 other lakes with the same name (no location info included) so I had to search 15 times to find the right one. Again I know this is a free app and it will get better, but for now Netfish did nothing but make me run back to my other fishing apps.

This is a great, FREE app. I use it daily. I post the fish I catch, and can see ones that others catch. I don’t use many of the other features right now. I collect points and have redeemed them for multiple rewards (ibobber, 3 mystery bags) shipping on those is $6 which isn’t bad. I have competed in there competitions and won a free reel. Even without the ‘reelwards’ I would still use Netfish , but they do help me coming back to earn points.

This is one of the best fishing apps I️ have ever had. Much better than all the other ones and the best part about is is how you can earn points and get rewarded by catching fish. The only thing I️ would improve is getting more water ways recommend that are really good for fishing. I️ would also lower the amount of points you need to get things or make it easier to get points

I really enjoy many of the features of Netfish. The ability to connect with other fishermen and share photos, tips and stories is great. I have had nothing but trouble with the rewards. The response time and the loopholes as well as changing the amount of points rewarded and needed to redeem is kind of ridiculous. I redeemed points that they claim were obtained “illegitimately” and was not given my reward. I continued to obtain points “legitimately” and tried to redeem them and was not given my reward or the points back. The rewards system on Netfish is a joke. Don’t bother spending the time and effort on the rewards. You will be disappointed.

I like taking pictures of my catch but sometimes I just don’t take pictures or I don’t share them Netfish gives an incentive to do so it is just very hard to save up to things like the i bobber

this app has been a ton of fun. Just found it a couple of months ago and interacting with the community and getting gear for posting your catches is a bonus. I’ve been able to cash in reelwards twice now. Just have to catch, post and interact.

When I catch a fish using live bait, it prompts me to enter a lure when no lure is used and it is required. Also the lure, rod, and reel selection is not working on mobile data for me. It does not let me select anything. Other than that great app

What a great way to share your fishing experience while making new friends thru this networking app all the time earning points towards some great free gear!
FUN!! LEARN!! And EARN!!
Who can ask for more oh wait there is it’s FREE!!!!

I (hawkman1783) have recently gotten Netfish, and I think that it is pretty good. I just think that the points you receive are very small to how much it takes to get anything. I also think that some of the formatting could be improved. Very good app over all.

Love Netfish . I love fishing and seeing what everyone else catches.
Haven't been able to get any products but
I'll be looking forward to them and using them.

I tested uploading a few catch photos and set the privacy to friends only but I started receiving likes from strangers so who knows how much personal info Netfish is sharing? I don’t trust that what I have marked private is being treated that way.

Cool idea doesn't have enough data on there... I know MS is a rural state but the reservoir is right next to Jackson its close to the biggest body of water in the state def top 3... Most people who fish freshwater probably live in rural areas. Rating it good bc maybe they will add data and really cool idea

Great Application, love being able to see suggested bait usage for individual waterways. Just wish that you could add the types of bait that work the best for you in that particular waterway!

I love Netfish it is easy to share your catch or anything else that's cool with others have had no problems with it so far.

I wish there was a way to add fish to a lake. Cause I’ve spent my time fishing a lot and caught all kinds of fish but on Netfish it only shows three or four species in the lake I’ve caught

I love this freaking app! I’ve found so many ponds around my house that I didn’t know about. And I’ve caught some biggin’s out on the lake because it says the best spots to fish. I love this app.

Hate Netfish I almost got enough coins to get what I wanted and it kicked me out and made me sign back in so I lost all my coins

There are a lot of pluses to Netfish but they need to put in some work into the catch register. If you want an easy way to upload a catch but without rewards I would suggest Fishbrain

I really like Netfish it’s like a social media platform for people who enjoy fishing. The only thing I didn't like about Netfish is that when you try and post a location of the fish you caught I couldn’t find any of the ponds i fish at so I have to estimate where it is in a map. But other than that I love Netfish.
