    139 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their stunning realism and attention to detail, often described as beautiful and immersive, particularly for a mobile title. However, many users report performance issues, including lag and low frame rates, especially on lower-end devices, leading to requests for better optimization and customizable graphics settings. Overall, while the visuals are a highlight, they can be demanding on hardware, affecting gameplay experience for some players.

    • “This game has stunning visuals, it's really like real life!”
    • “Beautiful graphics, very friendly UI, and very relaxing!”

  • optimization
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its graphics and gameplay but expressing frustration over performance issues, including lag and low frame rates, especially on mobile devices.

    • “I really love this game, very realistic, beautiful graphics, good performance, no crashes.”
    • “Awesome fun non-linear trout salmon muskie sharks arapaima, all the fish you could want to catch. The leveling system and gear upgrades keep you coming back to play. Played the PC version since 2015; mobile doesn't disappoint if you are on a low-end phone. Grind through starter areas, get to Emerald Lake, it is optimized well, and then on to St. Croix, also optimized. Avoid Michigan and Pike; the frames disappear near lots of reeds and bushes.”
    • “Good game to relax and enjoy on the go or anywhere. Decent performance and controls, and fun to catch all kinds of fish in very nice places.”
    • “But the game lacks optimization.”
    • “Very very bad optimization and very bad fps frames per second. I have the Snapdragon 870 and there is no performance; bad game.”
    • “It's a PC game but not optimized for mobile, capped at 30 fps, and it should be cross-platform.”
  • gameplay
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “One way this game needs to be improved is cross-platform gameplay.”
    • “Great game and realistic gameplay, but sadly I cannot use ultra graphics because of lower FPS on mobile.”
    • “Gameplay is laggy, buttons are slow, and I don't understand at all what it's trying to tell me when the button icon shows me and when I press it, nothing happens.”

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While some users note that the game runs well on specific devices, the overall consensus highlights a need for improvements in stability and performance.

    • “Runs great on Galaxy S20 FE.”
    • “The servers are unreliable and buggy, and they make their money forcing accidental purchases.”
    • “I had a bunch of money and baitcoin, don't remember exactly how much. I restarted my phone and it glitched out my Fishing Planet app, then had no memory of my game. I lost everything I worked for so long for. Can you help me out to make some progress or something? I would love to be able to give 5 stars, but the app glitches, so I give it 2 unless you can make it right.”
    • “This game is very buggy; the server is also buggy.”
  • grinding
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be quite pronounced, especially at higher levels, leading to a tedious experience that often feels necessary for progression. While some enjoy the depth of the game, many express a desire for more options to alleviate the grind, such as improved travel and farming mechanics. Overall, the consensus is that while grinding is common in mobile games, it can become overly burdensome in this particular title.

    • “But believe me, they don't tell you how much of a grind and how tedious it is to level up or how hard it is to get the right balance of equipment when their level restrictions are apart from every piece. Is it free to play? Yeah, in a most tedious, boring, 'get you to buy something sooner or later' kind of way. And that's not all; you will need to spend money to get ahead. Don't believe me?”
