Fishing Planet

5 stars because the game deserves it. Physics feel fantastic, runs smoothly on iPhone, controls are laid out well, PLENTY of content, literally everything about the gameplay is perfect for a fishing game. My two sad notes are as follows: 1. You can’t link accounts and crossplay. It would’ve been nice to take my high level PC account on the go, but I have to start over. 2. There is not controller support, (as of September 20th, 2025) which would be huge. Literally everything else is perfect, and a new player will find TONS of fun playing - I highly recommend this to everyone looking for a fishing simulator, just know the previously mentioned details before you play so you aren’t (a little) bummed in the late game. As stated before, nothing about the gameplay is flawed. Just wish the money I spent on my other account would be useable here, and that I could use an Xbox controller to play. Have loved and will continue to love the game devs, you really do deserve 5 stars! :)

I took the time to write this review for two reasons. #1: I love the game’s graphics and design - some of the very best I have ever seen. The fishing is very realistic, making it the best fishing game I have ever played. #2: One of the challenges that I face while playing the game is the requirement of a complete and steady internet connection. This can make it very hard to play on-the-go or when doing multiple things on your phone at once. At any point in gameplay that I have to leave the app, even for just a second, I find that when I return the game resets and renters the app, losing any fish that may have been on the line. The game also can appear very slow for beginners, along with being confusing for someone who has never fished before. I would suggest an ADVANCED tutorial for those levels which are under 5. Lastly, I have found the chat feature to be both pleasing and disagreeable. While I enjoy chatting, I do not enjoy the spam created by many inside. Very many times I have been disturbed by people inside the chat talking in gibberish that would be unclear for the average person. Here is an example from a conversation at Emerald Lake: Ya bagus klo baca nya dari kanan wkwkwk. Please have someone monitor the chats! Thanks so much for reading, it really is a good game all in all!

This game is great! Been playing the PC and Xbox version for quite awhile now, and The Fisherman too. But this is really neat to have it on iOS. It’s just like the PC one except capped at level 50 with Weeping Willow as the last unlockable pond, although I’m sure that will change in the future. Most of the core gameplay is the same only “touch”. They have added an auto reel feature which could be cool for some but I like reeling it in myself so I have yet to use it. Now the original placement of some of the buttons was not ideal for my comfort, not to fear though as they have a button editor mode in settings that lets you place nearly every one of them wherever you like! The graphics are very nice and frame rates seem smooth on my iPhone XR and iPad 8th generation, and are probably even better on newer devices. So far I’m almost at level 13 and having tons of fun! I have only a couple issues at the moment. First for some reason on both of my devices I mentioned, the game seems to crash every hour and a half or so… Twice this has even happened in the middle of reeling in a good sized fish. Thankfully when you re-enter the app your back where you were only you have lost the fish. Secondly on iPad the game does not fill the entire screen, you can make it a bit bigger to where it’s like watching a widescreen movie with black on top and bottom. It’s not as sharp then though. I would love to have it use the entire screen, but maybe they designed it more for iPhone. So again loving the game but please devs fix the crashing, and if you want to make it full-size on iPad that would be very appreciated. Thanks for the fun game and I look forward to your future development on it!!! :D
