Overall, user feedback on stability is mixed. While some players report a smooth experience with minimal issues, others experience significant glitches, including freezing during gameplay and crashes that hinder progress. These stability problems, particularly during critical moments like reeling in fish, detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “The installation was smooth, and the game runs great on my LG Optimus 2.”
- “The game maintains a stable performance throughout, providing a seamless experience.”
- “I haven't encountered any crashes or bugs, which speaks volumes about its stability.”
- “Fantastic app, but one or two glitches occur, especially when playing a really large fish on lighter gear. It freezes and then closes, causing me to lose the fish. Additionally, when trying to gently manipulate the reel, it either jerks and unwinds sometimes a full turn, resulting in losing the fish, or it winds up the line, putting too much tension on it and causing it to snap. I would also like to see the weight of the fish, not just the length. These small glitches can be a little annoying, especially since I have the paid version.”
- “Nothing but glitches, and I can't even reel in the fish; it just closes out due to an 'error.' Don't waste your time.”
- “Hardcore lag and freezes up my phone.”
