The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and the slow progression that encourages watching ads or making in-app purchases. Many users report that even after paying to remove ads, they still encounter them, and the high costs of in-app purchases are seen as unreasonable. While some players appreciate the game's graphics and gameplay, the pervasive ad presence significantly detracts from the overall experience.
- “Pretty good game, takes a while to build coins and experience without in-game purchases, but does pass time here and there.”
- “I've never seen such a good game with no ads, and it's very enjoyable. I just played for 7 hours! Do download and play; you will not regret it.”
- “Good game, time killer with no ads, and you can walk around. I like that.”
- “The main problem I have is the insanely slow progress, which makes watching ads on and on much more profitable than catching fish (~1 min for 1 fish that sells for 9-12 coins vs 30 secs for 30 coins).”
- “You have to pay or watch ads to gain coins before you can even try this game!”
- “£5.00 to remove ads - are you having a laugh? Shame, as I was enjoying the game up to that point; now it will be uninstalled.”

Overall, the gameplay is praised for its graphics and enjoyable mechanics, providing a relaxing experience with various fishing spots. However, players express frustration with the high costs of items and low rewards from fishing, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While some find the controls smooth and intuitive, others note issues with movement and a lack of realism in certain mechanics.
- “Easy gameplay, great graphics, relaxing experience.”
- “Very great graphics and very great gameplay, best fishing game so far.”
- “Well designed and beautifully crafted with thought to accuracy and quality of gameplay.”
- “Could add little elements into it like putting the bait on the hook or make it look a little bit more realistic; as for now, it just looks like any other fishing simulator, dull graphics, slow gameplay, and not much else to do but to change location and do the same thing over and over.”
- “Game mechanics are hard to control and figure out without a tutorial.”
- “I really like the mechanics, but it's really just 'pay to play'.”

The game's story is primarily driven by challenging quests that often frustrate players due to their difficulty and time constraints, leading to a reliance on in-game purchases for progress. Many users express dissatisfaction with the quest mechanics, particularly the need to catch specific fish within short time limits, which they find excessively difficult and sometimes impossible. While the game is generally enjoyable, the quest system is seen as a significant barrier to progression, with players requesting improvements and more accessible challenges.
- “I think the game is enjoyable, but your quests are so impossible to complete that it forces you to spend gold.”
- “It's a really nice game, but when you're looking for a certain fish species in the quest, you struggle to finish it. I have spent 13 days to finish, and I'm still not done.”
- “I quite enjoy playing this game; some quests are a little annoying to complete, but other than that, I have zero complaints.”
- “The quest to catch specific fish within a short time frame is the hardest quest I have ever played in any game, so it's a no for me.”
- “Having all movement prevented is a big issue during quests and tournaments.”
- “I spent a lot of time and coins on baits and hooks for the quest, but all gone.”

grinding
9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The reviews indicate that the game features a significant amount of grinding, particularly in the early stages, which can lead to frustration due to low rewards for efforts, such as minimal earnings per catch. While some players find the grinding aspect enjoyable and manageable for acquiring gear, others feel it detracts from the overall experience, suggesting that adjustments to reward systems could improve player satisfaction.
- “I want to like it more, but the horrible money you make per fish makes buying new stuff tedious and bad. The experience and locations quickly become boring. Raise the amount of money you get per fish... 6 kg fish for 15... that's horrible and you guys know it.”
- “Very, very grindy. If the grind wasn't so harsh, I'd rate it higher.”
- “Good game, but very grindy.”
