Has promise but needs improvement
06/25/2020

I downloaded the basic app and then upgraded to premium on the monthly rate. It has great promise but needs more members who contribute information. Maybe just my area but very few catches reported. Suggest maybe they incentivize fishing guides to report their client’s catch by letting them advertise their services. Also I’m sure information will get better with time.I’m canceling my subscription for now and will check it out again in about six months. I hope they make it happen because the potential is so good.

After reading the list of premium features and checking out the prices, I opted for a 1-year subscription to save money. Big mistake! It turns out most lakes and some entire states have no premium data to speak of. Company very kindly helped me get a refund, because I live in Colorado, and the lakes I’m interested in have no premium content at all. It’s pretty hard to figure out how to request a refund for a subscription on the App store, unfortunately, but Fishidy app team went out of their way to guide me through the process. While attempting to download nonexistent premium data, I also encountered a really hard-to-use interface for outlining a region on a map to download the nonexistent data. Some ESRI feature or other. They really need to get rid of that—especially if there’s no data there to begin with. I hope they can improve these things, because I would love an app that does what this does in my area.

Enjoy but a bit clunky on the Activity
08/01/2021

I use Fishidy regularly but the Activity stream is hit or miss it seems. Although I have several waterways that I follow, the Activity doesn’t seem to be displayed on all the waterways using the app. I noticed this when I went on Fishidy on my PC: different activity for same waterway as on the app (that is, different on my phone and iPad vs my PC). Also, I notice a different set of comments on the app as on the PC for the same Activity. Last, I’ll receive Activity or Comment notifications on my phone, and it takes me to a login page which simply does not login to the site (I’m definitely using the correct login and password). Since I know part of Fishidy’s attraction is the community aspect, this is a problem. For me anyway. Thanks.

Improved with new updates but still room for more

FISHIDY isn’t a bad service. It definitely needed some polish and got some with the new updates. However, there are still some bugs to work out. Additionally, I’d like to see more improvements for uploading photos and adding more information. I’d love for Fishidy to have a fish log which tracks data that I enter. Based on my previous years worth of data, it could help me plan my tournaments.Also when logging fish, how about a total weight or multiple species entry? If I’m holding a smallmouth and largemouth in the same pic, I can’t enter as both or a collective weight.I still love FISHIDY and you should try it out. It’s like FB for fisherman.

TNBassMan10, thanks for the detailed feedback, we appreciate that! Great idea about adding multiple photos/details to a single "catch". We will pass this along to our development team.
