Fishbox - Smart Fishing App

For anyone who might be interested in downloading a “fish finder app” like I was when I googled those exact words, this is the app! Look, I don’t fish, but I have family who does. My son being one of those who really enjoy fishing. I don’t even have a license. I say all of this just to show I’m as “green” as you can be when it comes to fishing. But anyways, I invited some extending family out to a house my wife and I rented on lake Gaston NC. I also rented a boat for the weekend. So naturally we had a few people who brought all their fishing gear. The boat I rented didn’t have a sonar etc. I’m big on wanting everyone to enjoy themselves, so I thought what could I do to help? One morning before we all got on the boat I stumbled across this app. And let me tell you it was a hit. All anyone kept saying was, “hit refresh and see where they are now!” Even the wives who don’t fish wanted to know where the next spot was going to be. And the app is accurate. My son being caught a fish and some others caught fish. And we caught what the app said would be around us if we cruised out to the “spot”. All around very user friendly app. Only thing constructive feedback I would give is, they need to be more clear about going about canceling your subscription. But if you know your way around the web, and navigating websites you’ll fine and canceling it (which if you’re a fisherman you shouldn’t ) but if you’re like me and don’t fish, cancelling is just the click of a button once you get there. I highly recommend. Enjoy!

So, I’ve been using Fishbox for about a year now, and while it’s been useful, there are a few areas where it could definitely improve. The weather forecasting is fairly accurate, and I like how you can save different fishing spots, but I’ve noticed that the app could be a bit more user-friendly, especially when it comes to managing your saved spots. For example, adding filters or a way to categorize them would be a huge help. I also think the community aspect could be enhanced—maybe a feature where you can share spots with friends or see where others have had success. The bug fixes in the latest update have made the app run smoother, which I appreciate, but I’m really hoping the developers focus on adding more customization options and perhaps some advanced features like fish activity predictions based on more localized data. Overall, it’s a good app, and I’ve been happy to use it, but I’m holding out for some of these improvements before I fully commit to a long-term subscription. Thanks to the team for their hard work—I’m sure with a few more tweaks, this app could be a real powerhouse for anglers everywhere.

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!
