FishBrain App?

Post by PDXSerric » Fri Feb 24, 2017 9:25 am

Does anyone else use this app? It looks nice but I am not willing to spend $85.00 a year on an app without some feedback from real people!

I found it on the Apple iTunes store and have been impressed with the free version, but certain perks such as catch locations and bait/lures used is for premium only. I'll gladly pay for it if I am convinced it is actually useful.

I enjoy the app just to see photos of catches. I dont trust the exact locations, some say piers were they have been out on boats. It's just good to post photos and keep track as Gav said above.

Also as Crumpet said, yeah there are some dodgy sizes with fish. I wouldnt be paying for a full version because to be honest what percent of people pay for it? which means how much information in regards to lures etc would you find out? just easier asking them in the comments what they used to catch.

I have it n so do a few of my mates

There's some good regular catches on there but hardly moderated unlike here. Ppl always bickering about small fish being taken, bag limits etc.. but if ur like me u just constantly get asked whereabouts what bait/lure which gets old fast!

U can pay for premium which lets u see who caught what from exact locations which is a pai .. but upon loading ur catch you have the option to pin point ur exact location n that's what the paid users see.. so all my cod are caught somewhere between Adelaide n Antarctica lol
