Fishbox - Fishing Forecast App Reviews

by Jmac 3041990

Fishbox is a rip off! I want my money back... CPW app has way more features for free!

Fishbox 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.

I 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.

There’s nothing that puts Fishbox 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.

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!

Bought 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.

The 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 Fishbox 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.

Fishbox 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.

Not 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 Fishbox but every other weather app has it

You 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 Fishbox for 5 min I understand that I probably won’t use it anymore.

by KillThrillKult

Geeez everything your charging for is free elsewhere ..several apps have all of what your charging for, for free so maybe you didn’t think this one thru. Matter of fact I bet your stealing info from other apps and selling it on yours ..it’s the only way you would know where people are catching fish around me or anyone else. Hope you didn’t spend too much on this great idea. It’s not great I was being sarcastic.

by Fghjklasdfgh

I would like to be able to see different species of fish, not just one?

by Randirobbs

Was windier than projected. Not a bite. Started at 8:30 am. Nice still water. 1:45 windier than reported. 1:45 pm Still fishing live bait sardine . And rattler broken blue and gold fish lure

by Israelkloss

Caught the most fish I ever have with my son by timing our trip to align with the best fishing days from Fish brain— caught and released 10 big bass!

by USA139-company

Many functions are integrated in the application but it is very easy to use. Its user interface is optimized

by Tlusk10

I love Fishbox. It shows all you need before going out to fish. For beginners it shows how to tie knots and more. Keep up the great work. Be safe all.

by Djmoneybze

It basically says what it does but can be improved I took a survey hopefully they read it and make some adjustments. But it works great for me

I use Fishbox daily. My fiancé runs a bait and tackle shop in Titusville, FL and I use it to show tourists where to go. The map is amazing. I use it to learn locations that I’m not familiar with either.

by DirtyDan0002

I decided to try out the premium and get the forecast and I am impressed. The hour that was set for minor feeding brought a ton of bites. We caught lots of fish and my kids were super happy!

by Valda_kI673

This is one of my favorite apps I can log catch data and see other anglers' catch dataI do also there were more fishing locations on Fishbox , maybe perhaps use neighborhoods as a location you are fishing a pond in that area

Load all the reviews chronologically and scroll to where it says 1y or 2y before. Paid advertising at its best. Even non english speakers as myself will spot how badly translated the paid reviews are. JUNK. To bad devs have spend those money on reviews and not on adding features to Fishbox .

by Saintk16

Would leave 0 stars if I could. Unless you want to pay this is a map and weather. Can’t even get hourly weather without paying. Use Fishbrain. At least you can get some features without paying.

by Devildoc09

I was pretty impressed at first... until I panned out the map further and noticed that 70% of the “waterways” in town with major feeding times posted were literally in the center of town with absolutely no water. Like, in the desert. Waste of $36 since I got the year package.

by Fancy_t24

Overall the idea is there few cons though one , it’s not accurate , says it shows fishing spots yet several I fish normally don’t even show , two you charge for minimal features like seeing “god spots” and beat times to fish ... overall not great .

by Melanie-2089

The GPS is very accurate, I like it most when using this application, however All features are great.

by Zimpiter.tenjai

Many fishes have been seen by Fishbox, and I like it very much. A good feature is only available in Fishbox

by Designed=ios

Is a developer-optimized app. The special point I like is that it's gps, many applications do not have it

by [sun]zikahouse2002

I have a small boat sometimes i go fishing at the weekend with Fishbox it work fishing up easy

by Johnson PAIPAIU

by 111Adrienne C

I like to use it, it is easy to use application, it helps me go fishing better

by Mayhem538

Fishbox is great, I use it all the time for a reference. Surprising how accurate it is

by Zzipbroj2k

Very easy to use, just a few operations I will know the location of the fish
