QLD Fishing 2.0 FAQ
Is QLD Fishing 2.0 free?
Yes, QLD Fishing 2.0 is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is QLD Fishing 2.0 legit?
⚠️ The QLD Fishing 2.0 app has poor ratings and negative feedback. Users seem unsatisfied with its performance or features.
Horrible correlation between their mapping vs satellite
Comparing the images on the maps on this app to satellite images is almost impossible. And in the sandy straits they expect you to carry your phone and utilise it with next to no coverage in a lot of the zones.
These zones are getting out of hand and the responsibility for the honest fishers is now to rely on phones where you can’t access the app unless your within coverage seems unfair.
One example I’ll make note of is In the 21st may changes, unless it’s hidden in the archive of the internet, where are the coordinates for the new zone at the front of kauri creek. The app does help with this matter either.
Can I fish here?
The layers selection pallet, on the Can I fish here page, does not turn off. It covers the entire screen and has no close button. The only way out of it is to close the app.
Generally the app is useful but it’s the same wording from the fisheries website. Which I find very confusing. I was hoping this would be easier to understand. It isn’t.
I am still in the dark as to where I can spearfish.
Pathetic app
Don’t bother with this rubbish app, it’s as useless and incompetent as the Queensland police force!!
3 times I added photos onto the app to see what the fish was and three times it didn’t find the fish in the photo, and when it did, it came up with a wrong name of fish…
The creator of this app should be fired!!!!
Make it work offline
What kind of idiotic decision was it to make a fishing app that doesn’t work offline. Out at a reef and need to check info, good luck, some idiot made this need constant data. Not really that useful where you really need it then is it…
Update
Since app has updated no photos come through
This app is useless
The first app you guy brought out was really good. So why have you changed it. Now ver 2 is useless. Where’s the photos gone to help id fish
No photos and hard to navigate
I have need trying to use this app it’s total rubbish. No photos of the fish and when you try to type in the name of a known fish it won’t come up you have to look through the entire list to find them. The app is hopeless. You can tell QLD fishies have never personally used it.
Overall a useful app
Overall a useful app especially the species info and the ‘Can I fish’ here page.
It seems to struggle to open when you’ve got low or no signal while it hunts to log in. I find it better to switch to airplane mode if the signal is low then it opens up faster.
The fish species photos are also a bit vague and could be improved - better ones on the internet usually. But it’s still a handy app.
Needs to work offline.
Using the App close onshore is fine as you generally have phone reception. Offshore where fringe or no reception occurs, App is useless. Consider adding offline option. For a minimum of fish ID lookup and bag limits etc.
Other than that as this app grows it will get better. Helpful tool for fishos.
Black screen of nothing
Did work for a bit first time I go to use it properly on Moreton Island, while still in reception, now it just opens to a black screen of nothing
