Fishbox - Fishing Forecast App

Used the app for a long time free, mostly just checking weather and saving a few spots and catches. I go fishing 1-2 times a month, so that was enough. Would be nice if they added more stuff for custom spots, like different markers, adding photos, filters, etc. Weather could use some work too, I use multiple apps to compare data, which is a pain. Would be awesome if everything was in one place. Then they added an assistant feature, so I tried premium. Overall, liked it. It's cool that you can ask questions in the app and give feedback right away, not through email. Also nice that they help with bait choices, like a store consultant :) Started using the fishing forecast more, but noticed it doesn't work well everywhere. In one spot, it was great for a month, in another, not so much. But you can see they’re constantly tweaking the algorithm, probably why they haven’t had time to improve the custom spots feature. Anyway, I’m happy with the app, it helps and I like it. Willing to pay for premium, but looking forward to updates. It’s great to see a team that’s not just out to make money but is genuinely committed to creating a useful product!

As a complete beginner, I’d like to check out the app without having to commit to a long sign-up process, only to be asked for a payment once I’m done inputting all my “fishing goals”. I couldn’t do anything in the app without paying something, and I’m not going to sign up for a 7-day free trail when I go fishing 3-5 times a year.

For info and fishing up to date

Very hard and difficult to cancel the free trial.

Cost money but is worth!

Moving to the US from another country, I was completely unfamiliar with the local fishing spots, and even what kind of fish to expect. I took my daughter fishing multiple times, but we didn’t catch anything. After that, I decided to try this app. The app’s easy-to-use interface helped us to find good spot and right time for fishing. And the best part - my daughter caught her first fish ever using advice from Fishbox. Thank you!

Regrettably, if I were able to assign a zero-star rating, I would do so without hesitation. Although the application offers some valuable features, there is room for improvement. Nevertheless, the quality of customer service is severely lacking. I initially engaged with the app through a free trial subscription, which I later attempted to cancel a day or two before its expiration. Despite my cancellation, the company proceeded to charge my debit card on the final day of the trial, disregarding the active status of the trial and my cancellation. Their rationale for this action included claims of having two subscriptions – one through the app and another through the web. However, I did not authorize a web-based subscription. Although the company later confirmed this upon reviewing the email address used, they persisted in refusing to retract the charge, despite my cancellation prior to the trial's conclusion.

Yo, been using Fishbox for a while now and gotta say, it’s pretty solid! 🎣 The app's got a nice setup for checking the weather and finding some new fishing spots, but where’s the love for us coastal fishers? 🌊 We need those live tide updates ASAP! I’ve been burned a couple of times by inaccurate info, and man, it hurts when you miss that perfect tide. Also, could use more local lakes and rivers in the database—my spots are missing! 😅 I went ahead and upgraded to premium, mostly ‘cause I wanted to check out the fancy features, and it’s been alright. But seriously, Fishbox team, if you’re reading this, we need more updates on the real important stuff. Until then, I’m sticking with it, but you better believe I’m watching for those updates like a hawk.

I have no subscription active and yet they are trying to charge me for something I don’t have active. Do not buy.
