Too many ads. GET RID OF SO MANY ADS!!!!!!!!! Played this game for almost two years straight without missing a day to get the daily bonuses. This game was fun and I was determined to get to the last ocean. However I’m seriously considering deleting this game now. Every other minute is an ad. Get a box of cash? Ad. Figured I’d use the multiplier since I had to watch an ad anyway. Well I watched an ad to multiply my money and then watched an ad to collect. Then I beat a daily goal for the current event. Another add just to collect the rewards for that. I watched three ads in the first 3 minutes of playing. Also I’m curious how the game mechanics work. I came back after my boat was full and had $33undillion or however it’s spelled. But the game froze before I could watch and ad an multiply. So it force closes and I reopened it. It still said I was gone for the full time but now my amount was $20und, and it froze again. Repeat and came back to only $11und. What gives?

Loved it for years but…. Update 8/21: 2 weeks since review, developer response gives useless, cut and paste directions to a problem directly reported in review and has not been resolved. 2 stars I have played this game for several years now, loved it. The last system error has me disappointed. Ads are not working across the board (5+ days,) I am missing out on the triple it feature, spin the wheel, Mystery Mondays that require a spin (you know the one, the big kahoona that helps you out with gems) and today I have lost my 503 day streak. Nowhere I have found in the app have I been able to report a bug. At this level in the game swiping only does so much and cannot advance without ads or premium purchases. End all… I’ll give it a while but if the ads issue isn’t resolved I don’t see a reason to keep the app anymore. 3 stars for the past fun, but if I were to download this today as a new user the above issues would have had me uninstalling the same day.

Too many ads. Many apps have a ad cool down, where once I’ve watched an ad willingly to get a reward, the normal actions that trigger ads won’t trigger. Idle world, for example, has this feature. This game… does not. If I watch an ad to double my reward on a crate, when the ad ends and I can hit claim, another ad plays. These ads are the type where “30 seconds maximum” is very loose, where after the 30 seconds, another 15 second clip plays, then you have to find the tiny x button while the information for the ad keeps popping up. And then there’s another one. These triggered ads don’t have a small timer before you can x out alike most unwanted ads; you have to watch the entire 45+ seconds to claim your reward. The crates come pretty frequently, too, so this happens many, many times. Oh, and if you exit out of the app and come back in to trick the system into thinking you’ve already watched the ad, at any point? You get no reward and all the crates you’ve stacked up have $0 in them now. And airplane mode doesn’t work. It’s so simple to just disable the ad that pops up when I hut claim immediately after I’ve already watched an entire ad. The game layout is great. The simple art is lovely. The mechanics are simple and easy to understand. Even the pacing of the game makes sense. Truly, a 5 star game. But the ads annoy me so, so much that I’m on the verge of deleting the game altogether.

It’s amazing! By:kinzlie. I just downloaded this on 3/8/20 and then the next thing you know 200,000 million dollars! I couldn’t believe my eyes it’s amazing that there’s not a lot on ads and bugs on this game but it’s impossible to play when you have like 1,000 things showing on the side of your screen.i wish it could be were you could X them out so maybe add that to the game? Also anyone who plays this will think it’s kinda boring not to be rude but it just the ads are loonngg longer than a house please fix that or fix the ads and make them interesting at least make it we’re offline earnings have like just a 1 million+ if you have 3 million or if 7 million have 5 million+ so ya hope you provide for my review to be here and please fix so people can be happy and like this game a lot I’m not rude it’s just these things just make me wanna delete this game but the big fish also should be we’re it’s just a few hits like 20 hits and it’s dead this will keep kid happy and strong as if they could do anything because when the other update I hate when I was 4 it was amazing until my sis deleted it so each day I’ll revueiw and write about it hope y’all have a great day P.s the games still amazing tho ;-;

Good Time Spender. Basically the premises of this game is that you swipe the seas for fish, and each and every fish you catch will give you money instantly after catching. With that money, you buy upgrades that are usually based around more money per catch, more idle money, etc. You can also visit deeper waters, which have more valuable fish. When you get enough experience from the different fish you come across, you can ‘Collect’ the experience, which gives you more overall profit gain, along with the upgrades, but you’ll have to restart. The game is pretty rewarding, and good for those kind of people who like seeing numbers go up and up and up. I’d definitely suggest this to anybody who hasn’t tried it yet, and has some time on their hands. I may edit this with any additional bugs or information I come across, but until then, this game is pretty good in my books.

It’s okay. I read a review that said that swiping gets boring after a while and I found out that that’s very true. I’ve had this game for a few days and I’ve gotten really pretty far in the game but swiping and swiping and swiping gets boring after a while. Not to mention to gain fishing experience you have to go back to the very beginning of the map and restart all over again. It would probably be more fun if you were getting new fish and new upgrades and new items each time you went to a new location, and you didn’t have to go back to old locations. I’ve had to go back to the same old locations four times now and it’s so boring swiping and catching the same fish every single time until I get back to where I was in the map and I can afford to move to a new area on the map and ONLY THEN will I find new fish to catch and for that short while swiping is fun but then eventually I will have to go back to the beginning of the map once more and catch the same old boring fish.

Is developing into a great game. What I love about this game is how the gem currency isn’t such a blockade. It takes a lot of adds but at least it’s possible within the day to get multiple upgrades to items and crew members threw spinning the wheel. Some descriptions of items or crew and what they do have been unclear to me and still are. I wish there was a little “Fisherman’s Manual.” Eagerly waiting for them to name the fish in the later levels, design and add more fish and levels. Add a crew member that gives you more item slots. I feel there are too many really good items that you want to be using at the same tim but can’t. Epic cards are way too rare. I got 1 from the 1050 chest with a possible of 1-4. I strongly believe with that many gems, at least 3 should be guaranteed considering people may spend money to buy these chests instead of spinning the wheel. Taking that into consideration, their store is currently overpriced. I only buy during promotions.

Dear Creator, listen to your reviews. Early on in this game, you are given a prompt to rate the game, with an animated character who asks if you enjoy their game, I would assume this is the creator. So it’s pretty odd that you STILL haven’t listened to the fans of your game who are leaving reviews. It seems like the majority of the reviews are addressing this same issue. Of course I’m talking about the ads. I’m fine with ads for rewards and I watch them often for this game. But you NEED a cooldown before a forced ad can be shown, after I’ve chosen to watch one. The fact that there’s no ad cooldown, a very common mechanic in games that have ads, is downright preposterous. If I voluntarily watch a “30 second” ad, reset a 5 minute timer before you can force me to watch an ad for no reward. As people are saying, this garbage has made the game unplayable. Which is such a shame because the art is gorgeous and the mechanics are simple and fun. The only negative thing about this game is the forced ads with no ad cooldown. Seriously, what were you thinking? An ad cooldown is a standard feature that most games with ads have, as it keeps the game playable while still allowing you to make your money off of ads. Until you listen to the reviews that YOU asked for in-game, I’ll be playing on airplane mode and you won’t get a cent of ad revenue from me. This game is unplayable otherwise.

A few bugs. The game is fine, lags excessively when the screen is blackened with fish due to Greenville Lucker. Megg doesn't seem to be programmed correctly. Premium slot time seems to still be capped at 2 hours despite having +24hrs from Megg. Giantism is pretty useless compared to most income boosts, might want to tweak the numbers a little. Away income is essentially nil compared to playing, so I don't actually achieve anything from being away, even with another order of magnitude (10x) added. Again, a number that might want to be tweaked. An excess number of fishers I can't hide takes up over 1/4 of my screen. Please allow fishers to be hidden other than the ones with actives. Lastly, there's no way to see your stats, which is a huge bummer. Being able to see the total bonuses for fish value, fish crit chance and damage, epic crit chance and damage, etc would be tremendously useful. It's a really fun game. Just needs a few improvements and bug fixes.

Pay wall. So this game starts out very fun and exciting and progress is at a good pace. Not to fast to have finished the game in a day or so but not to slow to feel like you are grinding every time you open the app......until you reach the mission to hire ten crew members. The only way to get that many gems is to buy them. Making finishing the game next to impossible unless you pay a large sum of real money to get crew members. While I understand that money helps developers pay bills and live and keep making games but at one point crew member number six takes 445 gems meaning crew member 7 will take near 600 something gems so on and so on. To the point that you will need to pay over 100 real dollars or what ever currency you use. Which in my mind for a phone app game is just plain robbery. So if you want a fun little game that you never intend to finish unless you wanna swipe your credit card a few times by all means download this game, but if you are like me and have doubts about a phone app game costing more than say 3 bucks stay away from this one because it will leave you disappointed and frustrated.

Needs gem confirmation and curve adjustment. There REALLY needs to be a confirmation on anything that costs gems, because I keep accidentally hitting buttons I didne’t mean to and spending my gems! For example, I was saving up for a new crew member, but when I went to use a crew perk, I accidentally hit the “upgrade” button right next to it and spent 600 gems on that upgrade. That wasn’t even the first time I accidentally did that on that exact crew member. The money curve on the last 3 fishing spots and late-game boat upgrades seems INSANE compared to previous locations. The cost jumps, like, 4 or 5 figures, which is way more than the previous curve. Likewise, mission 48 randomlly requires an astronomical 3 million exp to complete, while the mission just before had WAY, WAY lower completion requirements. (for reference, I had less than 200,000 exp when I was given that mission) Also, I’ve been getting a glitch where I can’t X out of an ad after it finishes (It seems to happen most often on the ads which say “thank you for watching” at the end) and so I have to restart the app which deletes all the money I was trying to multiply.

Sneaky developers, find a new game. Flaws- 33% of ads watched get a spin at the wheel; 66.7% of ads watched are a benefit to the developer but not user. I’ve spent hundreds on gems and system eats it and makes you pay again. 1 star that it would be fun if there wasn’t a ridiculous amount of money needed to advance. I’ve done the reset to the beginning umteen amount of times and still don’t collect at a reasonable rate unless I use gems. When I pay 5 gems for 60 seconds, there are no fish!! What gives? I left it open overnight to collect idle and it was more money than turning the screen off, but why am I using funds for that boat advancement if it’s useless? Time to give my money to other places. Tried to give it another chance…hoping something will get fixed and they don’t listen. Had 16x money rate for 60 sec plus the 10x I had for 2 hrs (cut off at 15min) and it wasn’t adding up. I paid to get the holiday increase buoy that’s not supposed to leave for another couple days and it left early!!! I want my money back since I can’t use what I purchased!!

Fun game, items are cool, little buggy.. I actually was going to rate 5 stars but after clicking on the tournament button I lost two chests, one with a six hour timer and one with just an hour on it. Really bummed that happened as items are actually a neat feature of the game and allow you to change the way you play a bit. If you like catching the fish by hand you can equip items that increase your chances to find critically valued fish and then also increase the value of the critical! So a fish that once was valued at 1 mil was caught with 25% chance to be worth 22 mil. Otherwise if you want to let the game go in offline mode you can change the items to suit that as well. Gems are also fairly easy to get and I haven’t been forced to watch an ad I didn’t agree to watch which actually made me keep playing as many games force you to watch an ad either way.

Was good, but.... I have hit 2 massive walls in the game that prevent any progression whatsoever. After the 12th zone, everything gets idiotically expensive and after 2 weeks, I’m 1% of the way there, primarily because offline income is only based on upgrades and not crew and items as well. Also the 31st quest is to get 10 crew, however even getting 5 without paying the devs is a challenge. Since the gems you pay for the crew doubles every time you buy one, and it’s a premium currency only available from quests (and the lucky wheel) that quest is basically impossible Edit- pay wall moved back an area, now watching ads for bonuses doesn’t give you the reward. Add a way to get gems from normal gameplay (ad free) and also fix the arena (I’ve played this game for almost a year and people get a ridiculous amount more money in the 6-minute tournaments than I get in normal gameplay - their money is trillions upon trillions more - I get 10 billion in a tournament, 100 nonillion in normal gameplay, and they get 13 septendecillion - which has somewhere around 23 more zeroes after it than 100 nonillion) and this gets 5 stars. Edit - game freezes a lot now

Fantastic concept, but a little ham fisted. This is an absolutely awesome idea for an idle game and one that i think could be done even better! My main gripes are two fold 1. You can’t get more fishermen without using the premium currency. This isn’t awful, but the other fishermen are such an essential mechanic that it kinda hurts that there’s no other way to get them 2. The ads and facebook connectivity are shoved down your throat. Yes, almost all the ads are optional, however, almost every random bonus and mission has an option for an ad boost. Again, not a deal breaker, but i’m just not a fan of having ads be such an integral part, and i assume late game it’s the only way to make the random bonuses worth it, but i’ll have to get back to you on that. Considering using my throwaway facebook account just to get a little bonus here and there Otherwise, i adore the concept of a fishing idle game. Makes for a great aesthetic and makes for a calming little side project. I play a ton of idle games so i’m glad i came across this one, but i just wish i could like it more. Still, if you wanna pull a toy-blast-to-toon-blast and make something very similar but even more optimized for player enjoyment, i’d download that in a heartbeat! You have something great here and i wanna see more for sure <3

The downfall. I got this game before all the “ads” happened. I remember playing this game for hours because of the music and art style. This game was great at entertaining its audience. There weren’t any forced ads either. The only times I had to watch an ad was went I wanted a reward from it. The wheel for example made you watch an ad to receive a boost plus you could get bonus gems. This made players like myself want to watch the ads to get more from the game. This was a time of happiness. I never stopped playing the game but I did leave it alone for a week or two. When I got back however, things had changed. The minute I opened the app I was hit with an ad. This sort of surprised me since I never had an ad I didn’t click on open. Then it became way too frequent. Every time I opened a package, the side bar where you can buy things, and even the quests and news icons, I was hit with an ad. The worst part about this was I could never catch a break. Even when I watched an ad to get a reward, another ad would play right after. This really took the fun out of the game. The music and art style is still fantastic. I will always love how to play the game. But the ads have become too much and I’ve thought about deleting the game several times because of this. I hope those who read this find the game very fun to play. The ads are what is wrong with the game.

Don’t get hooked. This app was great for the first month. There are lots of opportunities for strategy for experience and earning cash to upgrade. I don’t mind spending a few bucks on in app purchases either but when the game starts to actively work against you, that is where I felt I had to write this review. Suddenly it starts to “glitch” on your biggest bonus multiplier opportunities. Everything from gem discounts disappearing, multiplier videos not loading at all on large earning opportunities, to ads locking you out of the game forcing you to reset and lose your progress, consistently happened over the last month. The customer support was responsive and did fix the first obvious glitch I took a screenshot of. More problems and then they would just reply and not actually fix anything. The game is definitely designed to either frustrate you to the point of deleting or make you spend enormous amounts of cash once you get into the higher levels. Don’t waste your time.

Fun addictive game, but.... I honestly have enjoyed this game for the past six weeks. It is one of those addictive screen scratcher games that makes you keep coming back. Unfortunately it has had its lifespan with me six weeks in now. I have almost 8.7 Quintillion dollars and it keeps getting more ridiculous. A fish that was once worth $50 is now worth 639 billion to 2 trillion dollars in value. Just a little unrealistic... and due to the extreme goals of going from four quadrillion dollars to 20 quintillion dollars, just to move to the next ocean to fish from, i’m suddenly bored and done with this game. A note to the creators/developers: chill out on the unrealistic values. Don’t make me lose all of my boat statuses just to claim fishing experience. Way too many ads that are the same over and over again. A note to future players to consider: keep your fingers clean and dust free. Make sure you have a screen protector because you rub and will scratch and edge lines in your screen or screensaver by playing this game.

This could have been a great game. I find this game really relaxing. I like playing it. Just swipe your screen, you catch some fish it’s got a snappy little tune, birds even chirp. It’s like being outdoors. what’s not to like? The ads! I could put up with the ads at first - sometimes I find games that I really want to play so I don’t mind ads. I want to see them! But then the game asked me a question “do you want to spend 1.99 to get rid of forced ads?” and I said no! I don’t mind the ads. I find games that I maybe want to play! But now! It’s overkill! do you want to collect something? You have to watch an ad BEFORE you can collect an item, then As soon as you have collected it, you have to watch another ad. I have twice the many ads as I did before. It’s disheartening, because now I don’t want to collect the items the coins, the gems, because I have to watch two ads instead of one. Even when I don’t collect, it forces me to watch an ad every once in a while. It’s not gonna be long before I’m gonna have to give this game up entirely. You’re lucky I gave you three stars. It would’ve been five stars, before you doubled up on my ads. It’s overkill. All because I wouldn’t spend $1.99

Really love this game (but). I really enjoy playing this game. My husband plays it too and we like how you don’t have to pay to win. With some determination all the gems you need can be gotten by watching ads. And if you don’t want to watch ads? You never will, because ads only play when you want them to play. The idle fishing feature works great and the game is just plain fun! BUT The past few days the game has been glitching and crashing pretty regularly. I also have recently come across a problem where I spend gems on an upgrade and when I come back to the game later, my gems are still gone but the game shows no upgrade. Idle fishing has gotten really slow as well. I am coming back to the game after it has supposedly been idle fishing for 5 hrs, but the income shown could be made in about 3 mins of me playing the game. My husband has had the same problems. We want to keep playing this game, but we don’t see the point if these issues continue.

AMAZING GAME. I love this game it’s so fun, so easy to learn, and so easy to catch your attention. And I like how you can have yourself as a crew member. That is social and that you can level up yourself with inviting your friends to come and play the game to get more bonuses. But I don’t like how it’s hard to get new items so I think you should to fix that so everyone can get new items and add more items. It’s also hard to get gems so do you think you guys can make it so there are more ways to get gems and make the cost of getting new crew members cheaper please and finally can you make getting fishing experience easier/quicker and then I think that will make this a game perfect for everyone/everybody to play so do you think you can do that for your next update for this game please🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Bad but got scammed for my money and time…. I absolutely love grinding this game, but I decided to buy an 11$ pack to get my game moving faster and everything was great I got the mechanic from my pack, Blackbeard, 1000 gyms, 6000xp points, and a free spin an amazing deal. After all of that I stupidly deleted the game on complete accident now I have no idea how I did this it was on complete accident, and after redownloading it I come to realize that I took multiple hours of progression and my pack that I bought within the same day. I send a report to Apple and sent a report to the developer myself and It seems that I haven’t gotten a response back yet… I just want my progress and my items I bought with actual money and I’ll keep playing this amazing game but I’m getting worried that I’ll never get that back. If you own a game you should be immediate to respond to your players that especially pay money and spend the time watching your ads all day that’s earning them money for ad revenue and they should take immediate actions. :(

It’s great but please stop the freezing problem. I think this game is a blast and I’ve really enjoyed playing it along with enjoying myself during the events. This game is really fleshed out with a lot to do and a fun progression system and a lot of unlockables. However, this game also needs some improvements. For anyone who is just starting out, be warned there are ads. They weren’t really apparent but one day I was playing and all of a sudden anytime I opened a package, or a gem chest, I was forced to watch an ad. It had never happened before but it became very frustrating very fast so I gave up and begrudgingly paid for no ads. The only current prominent problem I’ve been running into since is constant freezing when I start up the game, it hasn’t been much of an issue besides being a minor inconvenience to close out the app and then reopen it. However I’ve recently come to realize that it has been robbing me of certain achievement rewards for the event due to freezing right after I claimed them, which has left me quite disheartened as there’s no way to reclaim those lost rewards. I write this review because I wish for the team behind the game to please fix this issue, as I wish to continue playing this game yet these freezing issues are making me feel less and less motivated to play knowing that all my effort might again end in vain.

Very Satisfying and Simple. This game is great for people who like calming, simple games, that are straight to the point. The whole objective of the game is to catch fish, upgrade your boat, and get to new locations. The new locations don’t give you new challenges or anything, they just give you new fish to catch. I find this extremely convenient and fun because also when you get a school of fish it’s just so satisfying to see hundreds of fish go into your boat all at once. And when you get some of those tool upgrades, it’s so nice to see how much more efficient your boat gets. If this game were to be described in one word, it would be Satisfying. Not just in how you catch and upgrade everything, but the convenience and simplicity of the menus and everything. And almost never get any ads either. That is what always makes me delete games: the incredible amount of ads. But when you do watch ads, it’s worth it because of the amount of gems you can get, and the boosters from the wheel. Thanks to the devs for making this game just so perfect. This is a definite 10/10 for me.

Okay Game. I have been playing for a little over a week now and have noticed that most of the progress costs gems that you can buy with real money. I am only playing this game to pass time when I’m bored and don’t want to spend $100 to progress and buy more crew members. There is a way of getting gems for free and that is playing all the time to get 1-15 gems out of a chest you can pick up or spinning the wheel and trying to get the jackpot. I have tried over the past 3 days to get the jackpot that only keeps rising in amount of gems it’s worth, but never landing on it. I’ve noticed that the spinner has no randomness to it and is fixed to land in almost the exact same spot every time. This spot changes from day to day, but I can spin it 100 times in a day and it will land in the same 2 spots on opposite sides of the spinner, never hitting the jackpot. So basically I’ve wasted my time watching thousands of ads for pretty much no reward for what seems like it could take a week to get a jackpot, it’s absolutely ridiculous.

Just some adjustments. I love this idle game, it is really fun, but when it comes down to it I think that buying crew members is too expensive, the only way to get a decent amount of gems is buying them in the store and not everyone can do that. Another thing is that 4 items isn’t enough to equip I was thinking maybe 5 or 6, and another is that the goals that take like forever to do should give more gems like 25 or something because why even do them if you are only getting 10 for every goal done, and that isn’t enough to pay for crew members. So other than these little tweaks that I am sure are possible to add, the game is really fun and competitive. Oh and one last thing the tournaments should first place you with other people who are at an equal level as you so you at least have a better chance at getting first place, because it’s not fair when the same person gets almost 1 quadrillion in 6 minutes.

I want to give my review finally after playing for over a year or it may be a few now. So I rally do like the game but it has a few problems. For one my items I use to help fishing with and build up my points via lures and such. Well it seems I’ve used the same ones so long that I can’t use anything else. When I apply another lure recently, leave game then come back, that lure is gone. So when I put back any of my original line up, it stays in tact. Two: my auto fishers stopped staying where I put them long ago and always reset to the middle when I leave. I don’t like that. And thirdly it seems that as your progressing along and moving up faster and faster it suddenly hits a plateau. It takes a lifetime to upgrade anything and funding seems to slow down like your barely getting anywhere. Like life I guess it’s meant to keep you in one place and it gets stagnant. I’m close to being bored with it now. Thug life got my attention now

Good but could give more warning. I wanted to see how many gems I could get before I bought the Christmas thing but then I see it 00:01 and then I look through my phone to see if I just missed a notification then saw that it gave no warning that the Christmas event was going to be over which made me really mad knowing that I wouldn’t loose any gems if I bought the thing because you earn gems from the even and it only costs 600 and I would earn 4 hundred back from the event using those gems that I earned to buy the thing so I just wanted to say what I thought and that I think the game should give heads up that you can’t get something anymore in blank amount of time especially when it is something you have to wait one year to get and when it is something you have to spend a lot of time on just to make it cheaper (this review took a lot of time for me to type of since I am on Mobile and I really hope this gets noticed) I don’t expect anything for the inconvenience but I would gladly take anything that is given.(sorry for bad grammar and punctuation mistakes)

Please don’t play this game. This game is incredibly addicting. It uses large numbers in the form of monetary rewards to create a false sense of novelty for its players. As a result, one will find themselves spending exorbitant amounts of time mindlessly swiping at the screen while concurrently amassing a wealth greater than the world’s total net worth and beyond. While enticing, goals become increasing unreachable and only attainable through a monetary investment in “gems”. In fact, it is nearly impossible to reach the final level, and for a purpose — to convince players of its constant sense of progression. Once your earnings seem to plateau you are sent back to the beginning, only this time, each successive level becomes easier to pass than before — deceptively regenerating the players’ faith in the game, only to hold them stagnantly at the final levels. The creators surely understand psychological/neurological principals of consumption. As such, they feed the consumers’ desires to progress mindlessly. In summation, do not waste your time with this game. It is uncreative, driven by profit, and will surely brainwash you to become a hopeless pawn of our greedy capitalistic society.

Fun but plz fix bug. This game is fun and I really am hooked ;) I like this game and it is really fun and doesn’t need your full attention, but my goals aren’t working. My goal is to reach 200 fishing Exp, and I am at 528 Exp, but it still says I’m only 50% there. So now there is no way for me to get a new goal so I am unable to get the benefits from goals, which is annoying. Not being able to get the rewards from goals makes it harder for me to purchase the expensive crew. Also sometimes when you watch an ad to get a prize or something, when I watch the ad I don’t always get the prize. This is annoying cause I just then wasted 30 seconds of my life. Also as a warning, if you collect your fishing Exp you restart. More item slots would be better too. I really like this game and I would give it a higher rating but there are some changes that need to be made cause I am upset about the goal thing, please fix this!!! It is fun and you would definitely get hooked.

Was Fun For A While. I just downloaded this game today, and it was pretty fun. For about two seconds. I guess at the beginning you’re supposed to start off small but I would say at least put in bigger fish that you can see, even if you can’t catch them. It would make the game a lot more fun trying to get bigger fish and maybe even failing, more than sitting there swiping the screen to get tiny fish. And maybe include danger like shark attacks, or maybe you can go to a marketplace or something, or rent an apartment to keep trophies for completing challenges or something. I didn’t get very far before deleting the game, so maybe some of this stuff is already in the game, but it seems useless to play the game. What goal are you trying to reach by playing? Maybe there should be a big fish competition like who brings in the most or biggest fish at the end of the day? This game fell a little short of my expectations. Maybe I’ll download it again sometime soon. Just some suggestions. -MercuryTheCritical

What a great game.. The designers were very considerate in how this game operates. Some games force you to give your full attention to the screen at all times or you’ll die or some time limit runs out. People forget we are playing these games when we are out and about (not driving or crossing a street of course) and we may get distracted by whatever life throws at us. These distractions usually result in us having to focus our attention elsewhere and not looking at the game. This game does not penalize you for distractions. Of course the more you pay attention, the better stuff you can acquire. You can also work hard on upgrades and the NPCs will fish for you which earns money while you are not playing. It’s a brilliant design. I also like how the designers don’t flood us with ads. However, if you watch the adds, the designers will reward you for doing so. Oh gamers a big heads up!!! Every time you level up/catch a boss fish, you start from the beginning. But don’t worry, this is still rewarding as you still keep almost everything and you earn money faster each time. Great job designers!

Good overall. Overall I really like this game. It’s very addicting once you get started, and you can also leave and still make money. The problem is this: you spend a bunch of money to upgrade different things and for the time being those upgrades seem to really be upgraded. Also there are more fish that will swim around when you upgrade stuff. The problem is that if you give it a couple hours, that upgrade becomes pointless, and stops producing the amounts they did for those few hours and basically make you just spend more money for that to happen to you again. If that could be changed than the game would be better. To give an example, I upgraded the boxes that float down the river to give me more money. When I did that it would give me like at least 600 million. Now it only gives me less that 100 million. That’s really annoying.

Poor Job at fixing bug and answering questions.. I cannot believe this is my first bad review. I am almost 45, and I have never written a bad review on an app before. This time, I had to. I have been playing this game for 742 days. In the beginning, it was amazing. There was a bug that occurred that made me lose an offer; however, the company was great at rectifying the situation. Over the past year, there has been a bug when it comes to experience. I have written the company several times. Unfortunately, they have not responded and they have not fixed the bug. Here is the bug. My “experience” is the same each and every day, and if I do not go back to the beginning of the game, every day, I lose my experience for that day. This means it is impossible for me to go to the last stage without losing experience, as it takes over a day to get there. Also, the experience is the same every time I do go back to square one rather than increasing as it should. Again, bad reviews are not my thing, but over the years, when you have spent a few hundred dollars on a game, you would think the developers would care. I’m not sure if the company changed hands or what happened. You would think that they would at least have the courtesy of returning one of my emails to say that they are looking into it. Again, I have received nothing. So sad that I am writing this review, but I believe it is important other people know about the issue in this game before they start spending money.

Good game, but 1 ad ruins the fun!. I would give this a five star ratings if it wasn’t for two things. One, I lost all money accumulated when I tiered up to level 4 boat upgrades when in-game “Rod” suggested we return to shallow water to our total “experience points” accumulated. Soon as I did, my accumulated money pot zeroed out! What happened?!? No warning if any kind that that would happened. I’ve long recovered from that initial losses, but that was disappointing to say the least! Secondly, and still a current problem is this one very annoying ad calls “billionaires casino...” something, refusing to close when its runtimes zeroed out and you clicked on its x’s and so you have no choice but to close and reopens the game, thereby losing the free “wheel spins” rewards. And also you lose whatever bonuses you would’ve had! That’s unacceptable. Hence it loses 2 star ratings. If such is fixed I’d changed my rating it to a 5 stars! So now you new fisherman players be forewarned! GL all!

Great game, all good fun. However... This is a fun game, one that I have had for such a long time, and a game that I almost never miss a day of the daily login of. I like the items that you can equip to give you boosts, I like the crew members that you can unlock, and basically everything else! However, I’ve noticed something with the daily login. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel that as you get a longer and longer login streak, you should get more gems or other stuff that’s hard to get. Then again, I’m someone that, as of the day I am writing this on, has a daily login streak of 1,235 days in a row. I guess if you save up your gems for a long while, they do add up, but with how quickly some of the item upgrades become available to you and how expensive they get, along with how expensive some of the crew upgrades can be, it feels a bit unbalanced. But then again, maybe that’s just me. Other than that, this is a really fun game!

Ads make it unenjoyable. I really like the game, the concept is great and the gameplay is fun. However… the ads make it almost unbearable to play. I get that free games like this rely on ad income, but this game interrupts gameplay to force you to watch ads, and you have to watch ads to claim rewards from random boxes you catch (not to increase the reward, just to claim it) without even telling you that you’re gonna have to watch an ad. The ads are completely un-skippable, and I have yet to come across an ad that runs less than 30 seconds, some are 1-2 minutes long. I’ve resorted to closing the app and re-opening it to skip ads, it’s faster than waiting for the ad to run. If you choose to watch an ad to increase rewards then I get being forced to watch the whole thing, but the forced ads that interrupt gameplay should be skippable after 5 seconds, like literally any other free game out there. And no, I’m not gonna pay to remove ads, I play free games because they’re free, and I don’t mind the price of having to watch skippable ads.

ADD MORE FISH. Game is really fun til you hit about the 12th spot on the map. I get the devs probably want the game to last you a while but adding in more fish would make the game much more interesting and give you more of a reason to keep playing... I’m talking like at least double the amount of fish there is now. One new type that spawns on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, etc... one for every month of the year... holiday fish... more fish like the sword whale that spawn after a certain amount of time (1hr then 2 hr then 3hr) also adding a whole extra set of maps that you can visit for and allotted amount of time and keep your progress (say 30 minutes for 20 gems or something) where you have the chance to catch certain fish. Mix it up more, it’s getting too repetitive. Other than that, 4 stars, amazing game. Girlfriend and I play and help each other out on our phones while we watch tv at night after getting home from a long day of school/work.

Ruined the game. I used to hop on this game fairly often when watching something or whenever i had a little freetime to waste and it was easy entertainment for free. Recently I hopped on the game and it is now completely flooded with ads. Before ads were optional, for example you could watch an ad to open a treasure chest or watch an ad to spin the wheel and get a point multiplier. Games that do this are the best kinds of games because you actually find it worth it to watch ads for rewards since you’re not constantly getting swamped in ads. Now they have changed the game and you basically get an ad everytime you do anything(claim a reward, open a crate, buy something, just randomly in the middle of playing). Ontop of that there is no ad cooldown so you can watch an ad to spin the wheel and then immediately get another ad 3 seconds later. Sadly in the creators atempt to earn more money by flooding the game with ads they probably are earning less by pushing people away considering i went from jumping on and watching 20-50 ads voluntarily(since it was actually to earn something) and now i barely play and when i do i usually stop after about the 5th ad. Hopefully the change this it just makes it feel like one of those terrible games that needs all the help it can get to succeed even though its a good game and even has in game currency purchases.

Xp bug??. I wrote to support, no answer, and I’m having the same problem a lot of people seem to be having. Why is my XP rate at a crawl?? Will increase my rating when the problem is fixed. Update: I’ve written support three times. No response, no fix. I still get a lot of XP at the right rate, then it’s gone and back to a crawl. I can only imaging people who spent money on this are outraged. FIX YOUR GAME!! 2nd update: same issue. I prestige, everything is good, then as soon as I close and reopen the app, same problem. No response. No fix. Sorry to anyone who has wasted time and worse, wasted money on this game. It’s not even my game but I feel like someone should apologize. To the developers, you could have just left it alone, it was a fine game, but you decided to ruin it. Again, very sorry for anyone who has wasted time watching ads, or worse, spending money on this game. It used to be fun. Now it’s garbage. 3rd update: Finally received a response. They said they’re going to do an update that will restore normal XP rate. I’ll believe it when I see it. No word as to how they’re making up for lost time/money.

Used to be fun. I’ve played this game for a couple of years now and I always thought it was amazing. The music and the noises when you catch the fish are great and the art style is incredible, however… I maybe stopped playing for about one to two weeks tops and all the sudden AD AD AD AD AD! Ads are everywhere now. When I opened the app. When I open a chest. When I claim money. When I broke my streak. When i claimed a prize from catching certain fish. Also just randomly playing and having another ad right after an ad just played. It’s very annoying. I only played for maybe 10-15 mins as well. Not a long period of time for having seen about 15-20 ads. Now I get it, the game already had a few ads here and there but before I at least enjoyed the game and I don’t mind watching an ad here and there to claim a few gems but this is excessive and makes the game so much less enjoyable. I used to enjoy clicking on all the boat upgrades myself and now it does it for you automatically so even if you wanted to move to deeper waters you can’t if there’s a boat upgrade to be had. Definitely deleting because I don’t like games that try to annoy me into buying something to get rid of the ads they didn’t need in the first place. These people are money hungry for sure.

Needs work, could be a really good game.. So I do like the game but there are some big things I feel need fixing. Number one being the fact if you want fishing experience (at least any to really matter.) it resets all of your boat upgrades, upgraded fishing stuff, and how far along you are on the map, which is really dumb. I clicked the button by mistake and honestly I’m thinking over uninstalling the game over it (or at least timing a very long break from it.), it took a lot of time to get as fair as I was and I’m really not sure I want to waste more time on it, very frustrating. A game should be fun, not annoy you with something like this. 2) I really feel if I’m looking at my crew, items, map, etc. the game should pause not keep going so you’re missing a bunch of items and fish. I had a few other reasons but I honestly can’t recall them all. It could be a really good game if it was worked on more and these things were fixed. If it gets updated and it seems better I’ll change my rating but for now I will not be playing for some time. I do hope this game does well those!

Game. I like the game but one thing I don’t like is why at the beginning there’s messages to show u how to play but u can’t skip them if I already know how to play or why the boss fish make the area dark and the first boss fish is so easy after playing for half an hour and once u can instant catch it still take a while to be able to catch the other boss fish overall the game is great and it’s fun I’ve played this on many different devices but they broke so I’ve been overall playing for 75% of a year and I am not a grown up or a teenager so that’s why this game is so fun and I haven’t seen ads on this game except today and I instantly downloaded it because I forgot about this game and just came back to playing this message took me 1 and a half minutes to write I’ve been using phones a while so I’m used to typeing a lot I can write so many sentences real fast besides the point but I pressed the star on the side of my screen and pressed the ratting one I don’t useally rate games only if I really like them and when I write a review it’s long as freak

Love this game but don’t force me to use my gems. I really love this game I’ve been playing everyday for almost a year now and the main reason I love it is because I can choose when to watch ads which I’m willing to do to enhance my game. But don’t force me to spend 8 gems to max multiple my away earnings... That’s so annoying because collecting gems in the game isn’t an easy process (unless you buy them with real money) this is especially true when you want to get more crew members they require so many gems to get a new member when you have a good amount of members established. My current cost for a new member is in the 2000s ranges for gems and watching an ad for the spinner yields 2 or 3 gems and the random chest yields 1-12 but you need to watch an ad for it and they don’t show up in the water consistently... You can see how difficult that is to collect gems and you need gems to upgrade anything! Items and crew members ... seriously please revert this change...

This game is great. I think this game would be a good idea for an idle game and turn it into another version like a game called! Hooked ink 2 or something there could also be more boats and a lot more challenges and events! And a vip pass with free x2,3,4pr x5 this things for like £2.99 or for other people ¥2.99 and $2.99 it depends on region. 2) the fishing rods should have cool effects not the other things or even both! There should be more things by the way the game is great the way it is I just want to give some suggestions so yeah! 3) the (regions) the regions should have a lot more to do with language or the money logos as shown but I guess you can do that by what type of phone h got or in setting but not all phones can do that but yeah I think there should be a setting:). Bye the game is great keep up the good work

addictive game. The only major issue I have is it makes my phone and ipod hot, but it's so addictive I keep an ice block underneath it so I can keep play without worries (otherwise I will do dage to the device and it will eventually freeze) I love this game, I just wish there were more options for free things and the good stuff didn't cost money. Like maybe add more options to win things through a second spinning wheel and make more things that cost gems. Otherwise I love the game and it's a great way to turn off my anxiety! Super fun! Also please make a way to save your game so we can sign in through multiple devices and not start from scratch. This is my second time starting a game because I had to switch devices. It would've been nice to be able to save my progress!! That would be a HUGE upgrade imo! Please keep making this game more awesome and I will continue to play! My youngest son plays this game as well!

ADS GALORE. I had this game a few years ago and loved it the art style the music all of it. I lost touch with the game a while back and recently saw it in the App Store and went for it again. Immediately I was hit with ads. Anything I wanted to do that wasn’t upgrading the boat or catching fish I had to watch an ad to do. Open a chest to get gems have to watch an ad like before. Didn’t have an issue with that. Watched the ad hit the claim button. And.. another ad. It’s never ending. And the only way to collect these are by watching ads same with the boxes. Unless you buy the no ads version which is great. If you want to spend the money. Unfortunately I found it weird that once it was purchased the chest and boxes became fewer and fewer. So then the only way to really get gems is to.. you guessed watch ads, Or pay for them. I would’ve loved to given more stars on this game but the ads and inconsistency with them really threw it for me. Besides ads it’s overall a great mobile game for passing time.

Advertisement loading time issue. When I started playing this game I thought it took me at least a few months to make it towards the end and with the help of these crew members, they were able to boost your progress quicker as you upgrade them, but as you get more crew members they become more expensive the problem is this, the way you get gems is to watch an advertisement to claim them, that also includes 2x bonus from packages, spinning the wheel, idle bonus, and even 3 extra gems from watching the first ad, but there’s a little bug that would take at least 5 or more mins to wait for the ad to load, normally it takes a few seconds to load and it would take me weeks to get another crew member if the ads load for so long. Please fix this issue so everyone doesn’t have to wait a few mins just to watch a 30 second ad to load.

Great game but needs work. I’ve been playing this game for about 1 or 2 months and have progressed in game very fast, But have gotten stuck at the location “lost seas” for 2 weeks. I have reset fishing XP and have done whatever I can to get past it, but that area is basically where the game stops you. Epic items are only available pretty much by paying with real non in game money, (except for like the first 2) Bosses seemed to be hard at first but now they are easy to catch once you have reset your XP. Game also needs to throw in more events where you can obtain more rare fish such as the Hydrus and the Hammoth from the halloween and Christmas events. Also, everybody is wondering where the guy that roasted you about your boat in the first few areas has gone. Where is he? If he does not come about later in the game, it would be great to add him back in for storyline purposes. Thank you, and please consider some of the following!

Could be way better. Overall the game is a okay with a few tweaks it could be great. For one the crew challenge is ridiculous as they are way to expensive and you don’t get to choose the person. Unless you are able to afford them when you level up it’s almost impossible to get them without spending more money then is reasonable for a game like this. It would also be nice if there was one more slot to equip your boat with equipment. Four slots is not enough if you want to catch birds or do the traps. As of right now I am on the second to last level and it seems like it ends there. Maybe once you get there more opens up. I will say it’s quite a lot of money between the last 2 levels and the other ones. Not sure if they realize people play these games as a way to pass the time and starting over more than 15 times to beat one level and still have to wait to accumulate more is rather annoying. I gave this game 3 stars because without significant updates it will be something people download and delete within a few days.

FANTASTIC Game but.... This game is great but there is one thing that I highly suggest! I think it will make the game a lot better and easier to play. Unless I haven’t seen it a great idea would be to make it so you can SHARE ACCOUNTS OVER ALL YOU DEVICES so you can play on multiple devices. There could be like a player ID That you could share and have an account on multiple devices. If this is all ready a feature then PLEASE let me now because this would be very helpful! I LOVE THE GAME!!!

Okay but has some problems. I really enjoyed playing this game for the first time BUT I found it quite annoying that my money would start back at zero when I went to another location and came back. Overall, I enjoyed the game but would appreciate some changes or at least being able to change it in a settings.

Super Hooked!!. This is a great game, and I would recommend it to everyone! Little problems with the game, and you can basically play this game without paying, which is amazing. Even though the fish do come in a bit slow, the music is peaceful and this game is really a vibe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s fun for long road trips. Just imagine if you were on a 20 hour road trip this game is going to keep you not bored and entertained. I was playing it on a 3 Hour road trip and I was definitely not bored at all I highly recommend it I hope you enjoy it and think it’s impressive that’s all from me.

Great game but there’s only one thing I dislike. The game is very well made and keeps me coming back every day to improve, gaining items are an important aspect of this however when opening fishing boxes you can still get items you’ve already maxed out. Could you please remove this as to upgrade them to the max you already have to sink in a large quantity of gems so spending more to gain useless items is quite annoying.

Level cash hard as you get Highett without spending real money. Getting to mount jiffy is nearly I’m possible. Disappointed that you only have to go up one money amount o get into deeper waters, for some reason you need to got 2 to get here. I’ve plaid for month and still not there. Can this be changed to be more consistent with the rest of the levels? Finding now I can’t move forward I’m loosing interest quickly.

My honest thoughts about this lolll. It’s really a fun chill sit back and relax game man and it’s kinda fun unlocking new stuff and getting new zones and rebirthing and multiplying your stats so you can get further.i honestly really enjoy this game and I’m not some guy sent to write a review by the guys who made this or some Indian scammer I genuinely like this game so yea I guess that’s my review give it a go if u want or you could always just be like yeaaaanaaa. K imma go sleep btw this review is sponsored by raid shadow legends lol jokesss. Aaa yea enjoy your day and Eshays are annoying gn.

So addictive! Can you ad this. Amazing game just bought it and i am addicted already but can you add this for a bit of creativity: box space/fishing space so when its full you tap the boat and you go to a fish store and sell the fish and get all the money they’re worth and you can upgrade them for bigger space (and a bit of swagger)

It’s a great game. Overall addictive but the worse thing about this game that’s going to make me stop playing soon is the fact you cant hide your crew members. So their faces just over cover the left hand screen making it less and less visible to see. I don’t know what they were think when doing that they should just have a button to hide them and unhide them. 🙄

Good Game so far. But.... This game honestly great but does take a lot of grinding to progress. But there is a problem I have encountered where it would occasionally “eat gems”. Whenever I try to buy something, there are times where it would just take my gems and not give me anything back. Please fix this.

Bug fixing. Hi team . Trying to keep positive and giving a honest feed back. Overall is an awesome game no doubt. I will give 4 star . Is just one thing holding me back to give 5 star , is the latest in game bug which turn the game into a nightmare. You see , I and I guess all the other players we spend several hours daily trying to get somewhere in this game . The more you advance the harder it’s gets . And bang last update mess up everything. It messed the experience gain and cash from fishing. See before update my experience gain was + 14 and cash was good , now exp is +1 and cash gain dropped significantly too . Will take ages to get any further the way it goes now . Even before was extremely hard to advance to a new fishing ground , now it looks impossible to achieve a new fishing ground. I totally point out this issue and I hope developers will do something about it . It’s not just me , all players been affected and all not happy . Still going to give a fairly one month if not fixed probably leaving the game for good . Is no point staying when is nothing to be done . Thank you Hooked Inc team , sincerely Dan C

I’m hooked (Do you think that pun was unintended?). This game is BRILLIANT! I been seeing a load of ads for months, so I finally tried it and it’s AMAZING! It’s the best mobile game I’ve played to date! The reset mechanic is done beautifully, there are little to no bugs, the graphics are GORGEOUS and the gameplay is so incredible! There is no reason why you shouldn’t get this game unless you don’t want your arms to FALL OFF from playing it so much! I’m not a bot though, and I’ll prove it. The one thing I can critique is that when swiping with multiple fingers, they average out instead of making their own swipe streams. But even that can’t weigh down the only FIVE STAR review I will EVER give! 10/10!

This game should take a week and fish for bugs instead of fish.. Honestly this game could be so much fun. It started off great. Super relaxing and great design. I’m now annoyed that I even paid a cent to this game to remove ads. The list of problems I am encountering now are endless: - constantly glitches - randomly crashes - freezes on reopen - bonus ads often freeze, causing me to hard close the app and not receiving any bonus - some ads have no mute option (this should legit be a criminal offence lol) - my items often reset on reopen - if I close the app for even a second it has to restart completely, subjecting me to all of the same issues over and over again Further to this, can the devs actually do math? Or are the perks just for aesthetics? 1000% increase in fish value is a 10x my dudes. Yet every time I waste money on that stupid perk their value seems to increase maybe ~50%. Wasted money and wasted potential. Do better.

This is really addictive. This game is so addictive and I can’t stop playing. I just got this game so can’t really think of any thing for you to work on. but because I just started this game like a couple of days ago I don’t know if I will come across any bad or something you need to work on. So if you like playing games when your bored or you just like addictive games then get this!

Paid for no ads. So I spent money to pay for no ads and it did get rid of the forced ads that would happen but say if I want to spin the wheel again I have to watch an ad to do so. Or when a shipment comes I have to watch an ad to double the rewards?? I feel like when paying for removing ads it should apply to ALL ads as I’ve essentially wasted my money and still get ads. Other than that I love this game! Been playing for years but only recently decided to purchase the remove ads

Fun but gets boring quick. It’s pretty fun but fairly early on it just gets plain boring. You’ll sit there for like 20 minutes just catching the same fish over and over, occasionally getting a chance at the big fish that swims under but you’re too weak to even attempt it at that point. The goals for deeper water are also stupid expensive and feel like it’s not even worth trying to attempt because of how plainly boring those early levels are. Cool idea I haven’t seen before, it just needs a quicker pace in my opinion.

Truly there there is no idle game as good as Egg Inc.. What would of been a very fun, relaxing, and entertaining game was entirely ruined by bombardments of micro-transactions and ads. Egg Inc. seems to be the only idle game(and mobile game in general) that understands how to maximise advertisements for profit *and* player enjoyment. Quite unfortunate that such a good concept for a game has been ruined by the common scumminess of modern developers. And no, I will not be paying 10 AUD to get rid of ads thank you very much.

Glitchy. Just downloaded and had unlocked peaceful Bay and done a bunch of boat and gear upgrades and saved 9mil then it popped up and said you're a quick learner go back to the first bit to collect experience it'll be worth it and I lost my boat upgrades unlocked deeper waters and all my cash. Please reset as I am not redoing it. Will change rating when resolved to 5*

Good but let us keep our money!. I worked for 2 days to switch places and get to the silver pond but then I accidentally pressed go to Shallow Coast and I lost the money I worked for 2 days to get. Can u guys edit this problem? I cried for literally half an hour! But over all I think this game helps me to control stress, also there are toooo many ads! Thx! I think some people have the same problem as me too!

This game is ad-infested. It’s generally a good game, but like one time I had just finished watching a 30 second long ad- less than a second later another nearly identical ad popped up, I know ads provide income, but to this extent is just ridiculous. I only rated 5 star so I would be seen.

The review. The only bad thing about this app is that there is so many notifications they all say “your daily catch is ready to go” it gets a bit annoying after a while of playing this game . It happens every minute your on or not on the app. When you first get on this app you might have a few issues playing and you can never get the big fish or sharks if your a new player, but overall this is a very good app for your phone 📱. Also, when your not playing the game you get money in the game because of your crew.

I ❤️ this game!. You can reset your score for fishing points to defeat the boss for a more short time, you can just buy an epic fish easily because the prices of gems decreased from needing 5 teams to just three gems, No ads, my IPad has very good graphics so it can never have issues or glitches in the game. I also forgot that the crews and other stuff also are more cheaper/ less expensive. I also like how the creator/developer added offline earnings, plus I reached ALOT of tiers In this game. 😍😍😍

Very Entertaining, Easy on The Eyes, Fair. This game isn’t like most other mobile games (you know the ones, flooded with ads that pop up and you can’t control it), instead it’s a more fair and less annoying. The progression is fair with multiple ways to progress. It’s a very good boredom cure. I would recommend.

It’s fun and challenging but... I like it’s play style where you can either sit back and watch your crew fish up or you can trace around and collect mass amounts of fish ( and money ) and you can upgrade your ship with the earned money but you won’t always have the money in a second so it drives you to collect more money to upgrade but when you get crew member offers, it’s only around a few minutes ( from what I’ve seen so far ) and then I got an add that was around a minute when I was going to collect them and I couldn’t click off the add to collect them, so I would like to ask if you could pause the timer when adds appear, just a suggestion though. Don’t take it as a threat or me throwing a tantrum, it just kinda confused me. Overall I loveee the game!

Really fun and enjoyable.. When I first downloaded this game I was a bit worried it was going to be like the other tycoon games, but when I progressed through the game it turned out to be a really enjoyable game. I highly recommend downloading this game if you want to have a fun and entertaining game experience.

Bug in this game. Hello my name is Michael and I’m been playing this game for a month and the newest update/version has left the game unplayable for me because when I load the game up it freezes for like 5 seconds and then unfreezes and I can play it after the freeze for about 10 seconds then it freezes again and doesn’t unfreeze after that I’ve uninstalled the game and installed it again to see if it was just a glitch but it still happens so I hope in the next update that you guys working at lion studios can fix this soon thx

Two versions of game. Game is great. I have 3.5 mill. Experience. Like most aspects of it. BUT... tournaments glitch, sometimes have to do it twice, sometimes my score drops. I usually place in tournaments, and sometimes my scores just drop off the list. (Yesterday I got 60bil, was on top. 5 hours later it said I had not registered a score. Had to do it again, only managed 5th spot). Looked up in App Store to make this comment and saw a new version of the game came out. Now I have two apps. I can play both, but the first one is glitchy, and second one seems to have updates but my score is about 20 experience :(. If I try to connect my FB acct to the new one, it spits me out and opens the old one. I’ll change to 5 stars if this can be sorted out.

Fantastic. What a fun game! Its addicting and it is so hard to stop playing! You can unlock new places, chests, fish and upgrades to give you LOADS of money! Honestly, the graphics are really well done and the gameplay and the base of the game is obviously well-thought through! I recommend it to absolutely anyone who wants a calming and awesome fishing game!!

Ads and Profit. This game is very fun and relaxing, and has a great interface and graphics. But the advertisements are too much. Its understandable for the chest collections for gems (ONLY gems), wheel-spins, and money multipliers, but the ads appear almost every single time you interact with something, mostly when its collecting rewards. But, even watching an ad, collecting your gems, and having to watching ANOTHER ad after that? And advertising a deal for $7.99AUD to remove the ads..? It just seems like a huge scam, and would the ads be removed from the wheel and gem collecting, and money boosts? We’ll never know. This game is fun and relaxing, but the ads are infuriating and extremely consistent.

Addicted. This game just has something about it that makes you want to keep coming back for more. Wouldn’t change anything about it but really excited to see what the next update brings! The only problem that I’ve actually had is where I went to buy the last crew member I needed and got the gems but not the crew member. But still giving 5/5 for a fantastic game I can play anywhere.

Great but there’s a problem. It’s a great game and I love it but The boats are too hard to get in this game or the next game can you please make them easier to get like every two 2500 fish you get you get a new boat but I love the game and keep it up please do this update four for me soon keep up the greatness PS please tell me if the updates there

It’s great :]. I’ve never been in the App Store and ignored this game, I delete it then I go to App Store to download games and I see this game and I immediately buy it no tycoon game could be better than this everything is perfect :] I have nothing wrong the graphics are fine logging in is fine upgrading is fine EVERYTHING is fine u da best

Great game, some bugs.. I have been playing this game for about 2 weeks. I can’t imagine playing it for ages but it definitely is fun and a great challenge. The game is very fair, you don’t have to spend money if you don’t want to but if you do, you definitely get your moneys worth. The amount of ads is super annoying, even when you press skip ad you still have to watch an add. I paid to remove ads but to get some particular perks or rewards you must still watch the ads regularly. The game does give you a lot of rewards which I love, whilst fishing you can catch different kinds of Chests which give different rewards. I love the different challenges that come up, some of them weekly some of them last for a week or more some just for a day. Definitely keeps you in the game for longer periods of time. Some times at the end of an ad it doesn’t close so you have to close the game, you never lose anything just don’t gain the reward you were watching it for. The only problematic glitch is a glitch where the game goes crazy and auto spends your money on boat upgrades, it’s frustrating when you are saving to progress to deeper waters. Would recommend it for a stress free relaxing game to play but it is worth paying to have no ads for it to be relaxing then after that you don’t need to spend a cent because the game gives you all the rewards you need to keep progressing and to complete challenges.

Used to be great, now buggy and way too many ads. I used to really enjoy this game, but after coming back to it I’ve found that the game is very laggy, often crashes and has an excessive amount of ads. There used to be only ads for rewards (which were pretty much necessary to play the game, but I was okay with that in order to support the game) but now they pop up randomly, and I’ll be made to sit through a 30-40 second ad (not including the time it takes the ad to load) once every 3-5 minutes. Very disappointed, as the gameplay was good, but now I find it to be pretty much unplayable.

Definite Reccomend 😮👍. Amazingly great detail! So addictive you could play it for hours! You get to level up and get larger masses of fish ever than before or; you could sit back and relax while your fishing mates do the work! Yes, there are adds but, not as many as most highly rated games! You don’t have to pay for anything, unless you want an add free experience! You get money per every fish you catch! And it’s simple! Swipe and spend! Hope you enjoy!

I would give it 10 stars if it would allow me to nuffsaid. I love this game so much I used to play it all the time on my mums phone when I was younger and playing it again now brought a tear to my eye it hasn’t changed at all it’s still the same as it was back then and I couldn’t be more happy I love it but the one thing I don’t like is that if you choose to trace to collect mass amounts of fish and money then it tends to really hurt your finger overtime but apart from that it’s a great game and it is my favourite game to help pass time especially when waiting at the dr

Data problem. I recently switched to iPhone after being a Samsung owner for a few years and the game has transfered over but I don’t have my original hard earned progress from which I had on the Samsung phone and I was wondering if someone could help me get my original data from my Samsung over to my iPhone because I used my google play account I just don’t know how to get my google account to switch because it’s an iPhone not a Samsung so please help me I have played this for years.

An honest review. This has probably been said a hundred times before I’m saying it, but it still needs to be said. I have a decent amount of hours in the game and as fun as the early levels feel, the game progresses naturally quite slowly when you get higher up. This is not my complaint. My complaint is the fact that you can’t hide or remove the crew member squares on the side, so assuming you’ve played the game a decent amount and spent money or not, by the time you progress enough through the game, you’ll get a decent number of crew members. So that’s a huge limiting factor for people who play on phones as it takes up almost half your screen, and on top of that, once you upgrade your boat high enough, the visible and playable screen becomes even smaller as the boat takes up majority of the screen. Unless you’re fully paying attention to the game every time you play it, you’ll miss fish and whatever else. Also some of the later fishing areas are just so dark that unless you play on max brightness, the fish and the water look almost identical. I’ve stopped playing now because I don’t have fun with it anymore and it feels like it takes too much of my focus to progress, and that’s not what games should be. Take this with a grain of salt, much like every other game of this type, it will be fun when you start but will drag on eventually. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

Ummmmm problem. I’m confusion ......???. Ummmm how do I say this I have two of these exact same game made by you and this one I start from beginning while the other one is my progress and ummmmmmmm it’s odd I have both this game and the other hooked inc made by you....... did you make two of these but deleted the other one because I can’t find the old version of your hooked inc on App Store but only the new one yet I can play the old one and when I update the hooked inc it updates both of them...... ummmmmmm... yer I’m confusion why....... ummmmmmm yer good game and ummm 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😅😅😅😎😢😩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤫🤫🤭😀😀😀😅

Great game but.. I love this game and I’ve been playing for a couple of days straight but you get to a point where everything is really expensive and it’s pretty annoying to upgrade something to max Could you please lower the prices of everything because me and my friends play this game so thank you.

I’m so “hooked”. This game is amazing! And so satisfying I can sit down and catch fish spin the wheel catch boxes catch the huge fish it’s so great! I’m level 2 teir boat now but I’m still going :p One issue with it that I don’t think the huge boss fix with the bars stay on screen long enough but other than that it’s a great game 5 star rating

Amazing Game!. This is such an amazing game about fishing! You swipe on the fishto catch them. When you watch ads, you can get more upgrades and get better in the fishing club because it gives you really amazing perks! And when you swipe treasure boxes or just boxes, watch the ads to open them. And watch another ad if you want to double your prize! The ads are not actually bad, if you get a lucky ad, you can close ad in about 5 seconds!

Great game, some issues. The game is so fun and all but I wish you didn’t have to pay gems, watch an add or pay to nearly everything. It jus annoys me sometimes when I playing and I have to pay a lot of gems for something when it’s nearly impossible to get that many gems without have to pay real money to more gems. That is the only thing I wanted to point out

Fun. I personally love playing this game becuase it’s fun and entertaining. This game is amazing and it keeps you going. One thing I would like is if they can add easier ways to get epic fish or even better stuff like gem crates for seasons and missions. Overall this game has been fun and I hope other players will like it too!

Can be built upon. It’s a fun concept but I feel it can be built upon, the game is rather bland and simple, but somehow, also complicates things to an unnecessary degree. For example, the limit for being away from the app before you loose fish etc. it’s impractical if you want to build a base for your game as an idle game. It’s slow to progress and it’s very reliant on spending and watching ads, which makes the game boring and easy to delete. The quick increase in spending limits how much a user can do, so they have to afk, but they can’t afk for long or they won’t get as much. As you can see it’s repetitive. Over all, it’s still a good game with good mechanics and stunning visuals, but it can be built upon.

This game has actually hook me like a fish. Ok now I might seem like a robot u know coz i think this game is good but I actually think it’s really addicting and everyone should give it a go if u don’t like fair enough but I promise u will get addicted like I did trust me and uhh yeah just enjoy the game if ur reading this I hope I have persuaded u to try this game and thank u for reading have a good night or day wherever u are

Soooooooo RELAXING. This game is so good because you don’t really have to do anything and it’s a great way to past the time. I have a suggestion maybe you could add like ability’s and you could get them from special fish. For example maybe an electric eel would give you electric power that would make all the fish come to the surface now that would be cool!!!!

🤙🏼. Perfect for my attention span 😂👌🏼 Would be cool if there was a fish market that opens every few hours, and it counts all the fish you’ve caught in between that time and gives you a price per fish. Also to see how fast your quickest swipe across the screen to catch the fish is, either in kilometres per hour, or, miles per hour. Either would suffice. Anyway, back to it. I have fish to catch. 🎣

Good but to much 💰 money. This game is the best ever I play every day BUT 😔 it cost to much money in the game I don't mean you got to pay for it. The fake money in the game is a big amount. I mean you got to pay 💰 $200 million dollars 💵 for a set of one kind of new fish 🐟 that is all. Also I think that the music 🎶 is to boring. You should put in these days music 🎶. Like friends by marsh mellows something like that. Other then that the game is all 😊

Problem with logging in. Just the night before the incident I had been playing this game (and I play this regularly) and I had just upgraded my boat to level 7 and it takes a long time. I got off e game and tried to get back in around 8 hours later, but, when I logged in the game just froze when it got to 67% and it wouldn’t load in. I was hoping you could help me with this problem. His game is a great game and isint like many others. Other games I would play once and not play it again, but this game makes me want to come back and keep playing it. It’s really addictive. So if there is anyway you could help me with this, please reply back. 👍

Common guys.....😳. I maxed waters, maxed boats, and maxed crew months ago.. these last few updates are really awesome as far as gaining experience and whatnot.. but it’s boring now, there’s nothing new to upgrade (boats) and no new oceans with new fish to catch.. PLEASE update :(( been waiting for months.. restarted game many times for experience.. This WAS my favourite app..

False Advertising. Tapping on the boat does NOT upgrade it

Great app. Great app

Unfortunate. I have been playing for a couple days and this seems like a good clicker game but I restarted my phone and all of a sudden the game is constantly crashing and restarting without saving, I spent a couple bucks to disable ads and wish I could get it back.

This game is so fun. This game is so fun and relaxing. I love games that are idle games.

So many damn ads. I like this game but there is so many ads. Like it’s redundant how often there are ads. Not to mention everything is so expensive it makes it impossible to progress without spending a little on the game. It’s unique and addicting though.

Not bad but glitchy. Luv it it’s addictive but the wheel spin don’t work like it should, I swear I watched so many ads but it never gave me the multiplier it promised.

Good game. It is a good game

Best game ever. Super Duper Duper Duper Duper Duper Super Duper Duper Duper Duper Duper Duper Duper fu

Very fun. Ive been playing this game for only a few days but it really helps with keeping your stress down and keeping you calm I also find the game very simple which is something I like its very easy to understand and you should totally get this game

Fun fun fun. Very fun and addictive! My only issue is that it gets a bit repetitive and all the swiping can make the control centre on my phone come up.

so sad. I went to log in and get my streak which was at like 158 and press continue my streak and the fricken shark came it automatically went to focus on the shark and I lost all of my streak

Fun. Cool

This is so stupid I wish I could give it a 1 star. Every 5 minutes I get like 3 adds and when I try and open boxes it also gives me adds without me wanting to double it. Also, every time I get an add my device crashes and all my progress is sent to 30cminutes ayo this game is so stupid no one play this and developers please fix the add issue it’s so annoying.

Sick. Awesome

Not what it seems wells some of it on the adds. I’m serious

Awful. Said collect experience & make more money. I was at $4mil and it erased ALL my money, brought me back to the start of the game and deleted all my upgrades. Terrible game. I see below Im not the only one.

Some people don’t know.. It’s great and collect experience means start from beginning, just so you know.😀

Enjoyable game. Apparently there are tournaments in this game. I started playing this game again after not for a while and after 2 weeks I haven’t seen a single tournament.

So relaxing. I enjoy fishing but this is fun and relaxing such a stress relief ✨✨✨

Meh, it’s ok. It’s ok, wouldn’t say it’s the best. Once you get to challenge 48, if you add up all the stars in the game, it still doesn’t equal 300. There are 3 rare fish you can’t find, and progression is slow. Need to leave the game open. I got a fisherman pack and was not given the pack. Reported to Apple after contacting support multiple times (no answer) Apple refunded me. Did I mention, poor customer support.

Very great. I liked it very much it was game of where if I need to get stuff off of my head it would really help.

G. Coolio

Collect xp. Why is everyone complaining that when they press the claim xp button their cash and stuff disappear?it obviously says increase income and epic fish rate and return to shallow bay and reset boat and cash.people just need to learn how to read

.. I am responsible for making fish extinct

Awesome. Awesome game I love it my fav game to play when I’m bord

Super fun. It’s fun and addicting the only thing that would make it better it’s the Notification Center that comes up when you swipe around still a beautiful game.

Great game!. It’s so fun and when I’m just doing nothing I play this and it makes 3 hours feel like 3 minutes

It's stupid and I don't care.. I spent 15$ on a good deal. But I didn't get the main part of it. Goodbye stupid game

Pls fix. Great game but there is this one bug where if you have a lot of money like if your saving up for a boat it will spend it all on upgrades and it’s really annoying but other that that great game :)

Nice. Nice game to pass the time but for long term play it’s pretty dead since gem payouts on missions don’t progress fun while it lasts

Scam. The game bugged every time your about to have to double you cash flow, it’s practically impossible or very very long to upgrade to the final nevels because you need too much cash versus the price of your fish and the same things happen for the mission you have at sometime you have to buy a ten person crew and it’s cost too much gems if you don’t buy any it’s became very hard.

Glitch. There was a glitch yesterday where I lost a bit of progress, and also made the fireworks I used for the challenge not count! As of today, I used the fireworks provided, and now I’m stuck at 7 and won’t be able to achieve the challenge!

Bro. The progression is so slow to the point where it’s unplayable

It's what you'd expect. It's a clicker game. With fish. 5/5

False claims in ads. Hello, you have an add that claims by buying and eating their gummies you can lose 50 pounds in 2 days or 50 pounds in 2 weeks. This is completely false and may actually harm people’s health. Please remove the app or the ad.

Amazing game. The game runs sooth great game! I recommend it

Very fun. The game is super fun but the only downside is you can’t play offline but over all the game is super fun and it’s my go to game

It’s dope. Cuz it just is tbh

What I think. I think that the epic fish counts on what place your in. Like in the shallow area the golden fish but in the deeper water better fish and there is a SCAM that if you buy something it takes your money NOT A LIE!!!! So I suggest don’t buy stuff off it unless your lucky

It’s the best. It is

Fun for a bit. Too many glitches in the ads. Unable to spin for bonuses or gems.

Great game if you want to spent time playing it if you don’t don’t bother getting it. Good game

Fun. I like the playtime without internet

Great game. Good

Small bug. On thursdays there is the thrifty Thursday and when you catch 250 gem fish you get the secret crew member for half off but I closed the game because I had to do something and when I opened the game again the discount was gone but this game is great.

Best game ever. Too good

Suuuuper fun!!!!!. Just speechless

Pretty fun. It’s a good way to pass time but not for an extended period of time it gets a little boring.

Refund?. I love this game, however I just spent $15 to get 1000 gems 2 Fishermen and a free spin, and I did not get the 2 fishermen. They were the main reason that I spent the 15 dollars. I would appreciate it if someone would reach out to me to resolve this issue.

Fun, but with a problem. This app is definitely a good "idle game," with that feeling of satisfaction whenever you buy a huge upgrade. There are also so many more features that make the game unique. However, I have a small problem with how the game manages offline earnings. You get in-game money when the app is closed, but it's ridiculously slow compared to how fast money is obtained with the app open, even when you're not doing anything. I've left the app running for five minutes and earned more than I got from having it closed for an hour. I think the rates should be the same, so the app doesn't have to be left running and you can do other things. Overall, though, Hooked Inc. is a fun experience that I would recommend.

Good game…until recently. I have enjoyed playing this game for a couple of years but the last few days have really made me dislike it. The game now freezes several times while I am trying to play. It wouldn't be a big problem except every time it freezes, it removes my progress from several minute prior, meaning my progress in the prize tree gets sent back points and makes it hard to advance. I’ve read the recent reviews and it seems like I’m far from the only one experiencing issues like this. The devs also do not seem to be responding to anything and the game hasn’t been updated in a month! I would have recommended the game before, but now I would caution anyone wanting to play to be very careful, especially if they plan to spend anything in game.

Great graphics and stuff. Hook ink is da best I never had a better game than this 😀 don’t get me wrong I’m addictive to it also I would do something with the big fish in reality Jess it’s just a little hard to find them I’ve played for a little bit a.k.a. for an hour 😒and I only got like two fish a.k.a. the two big fish it’s a little hard to find them 📉so just gonna make it a little easier 📬📫but not every five minutes but I mean like every 25 minutes say yeah but no complain I just mean just something I would update so that’s why I gave a five star review because it’s very good so you don’t have to update it but I mean I would😶🤣😅😇😐

Great idea, execution needs improvement. I have a very love hate relationship with this game. The idea is fantastic I think it’s a great idle game as a concept. However my issues arise with the laziness in developing the app. There’s glitches present in this game from years ago. The game freezes quite a bit which causes me to miss out on things like schools of fish and item boxes because the game froze (it’s not my connection because it’s the only game I have that does it.) The amount of ads that pop up are absolutely obscene. Long story short, I have too many little basic issues that drive me nuts to continue playing for this game for an extended period of time. Haven’t deleted it yet but it’s definitely coming. Would be great if some of these issues could be fixed, I don’t think I’d ever delete the app!

Good Game but.... Love this game, however, got some problems. 1) when you have an item max level, it is still possible to obtain more of those items, but you get nothing from it. maybe give coins/gems for each extra item you receive? 2) The end game is very stale. I’m at Pink Lagoon with every crew member (only 2 aren’t max level), so basically all I can do is continue to barely increase my fishing exp and just keep repeating the same process. 3) Goal #48 is currently not completable. I’m at 240 stars and only have 16 more to obtain (6 of which we don’t know the circumstances of catching). Hope there are some big updates in the future to keep players intrigued!

Why you should give it five stars and paid all the time😄🥰😍. Great game it’s pretty much about fishing you just sit there and you get them around your hands it’s pretty good I like it because I am I like fishing in Rodeway Inn on this game right here when it’s like raining or something outside and I can’t go in because over all the bad stuff happening right now with corona I can play this game have a good time and I can play it anytime because you can have it on Phone and I everywhere I go I play it so give it five stars if you like it I played a lot of games before and so far this is my favorite I think it always will be I hate this game five stars🥰😍🎮

Great Updates!. I played this game a few years back and while I loved it back then, I deleted it because I got bored and the ads were annoying. However, I saw this game in an ad while playing another mobile game and it gave me nostalgia so I decided to give it another shot. Upon downloading and opening the game, I didn’t notice much difference, but after a few minutes I saw a lot of great improvements. The only downside to this game, along with most mobile games, are the ads. However, thanks to the consciousness developers, with any in-app purchase, you also purchase “no more forced ads”. Overall, I really enjoy this game with the $1.99 purchase of ad-remover.

Fun, up to a point. It’s a decent idle game with plenty to upgrade and lots of events but there is a point where the game either breaks or the devs become too greedy. Like many idle games, you can watch an ad to multiply your profits after having been away. There are even upgrades you can invest in which raise this multiplier. At some point, the game will change so that you have to use the premium currency to get this multiplier. I played this game for months and then left it after thinking it was a bug. I recently returned and had the same experience once more. I can not verify if it is indeed a bug or not because the developers do not respond to support requests, regardless of if submitted through their site or if you try to contact them elsewhere, such as Twitter. There is also no ‘restore purchases’ option so any real money you spend on this game is gone for good if you ever have to reinstall the game.

Great game. This game is amazing. It can be time consuming though. I love the boat designs and the people. When I am off of the game and come back, I always have money waiting for me. I like how you can upgrade things to a realistic amount. As a person who is very close to a fly fisher, I know that it is better to fish in the rain. When it starts to rain it says something along the lines of “10% better fishing.”when my brother looked over and saw what I was playing he immediately downloaded it. Over all, I would say it’s an awesome game. And I would recommend it to anyone. 5 out of 5!👌

I lost everything.. I’m kinda sad that I’m rating this so low, because I truly enjoyed the game when I was playing it before. I had first downloaded back in March and played pretty consistently for a couple months until I got a new phone and forgot to reinstall it. Today, after searching through the App Store, I found this game again and was excited to install it and jump back in where I had left off back in the summer. Well, that didn’t happen. I figured since the game has in-app purchases there would be a way to RESTORE those purchases, but there is no option to do so. I logged in with my Facebook account thinking maybe that would work, but it didn’t. I spent quite a bit of actual money on this game because I enjoyed it so much and wanted to support the devs. I’m pretty upset to find out that all of my progress and purchases have vanished into thin air.

It’s a great idle game, ruined by way too many ads.. The gameplay loop is nice. The game scratches the itch I have for “Numbers Go Up” kind of idle game I enjoy. Pretty much everything about the gameplay is enjoyable. The single horrendous part of the game that ruins the entire experience is the amount of ads you have to watch. I completely understand why ads are placed in mobile games, and it’s so common these days that it doesn’t even bother me to watch them for extra bonuses. The terrible part is that you have to occasionally watch ads just to do basic gameplay tasks. Wanna open a box you earned? Watch an ad. Wanna double the rewards? Also watch an ad. It’s been 5 minutes? Your next pop up, no matter what it is, will start an ad when you tap a button. It’s so obnoxious and it ruins the game. The worst part is when you watch one of the “it’s been 5 minutes” ads. The game has the audacity to ask you if you want to pay to remove ads completely. Honestly, it’s such a punch in the face. I downloaded the game, I spend my free time playing the game, and my time feels completely wasted when I have to watch an unskippable 30 second ad, all because I tapped on a box, and clicked the [X] to NOT open it. Yep, you read that right. An ad for NOT opening a box. Completely unreasonable.

Use to be a great game. What has happened to Hooked INC? It used to be a once great game, not a face paced game where you are over and done with it, not a game where you have to always use money to buy your way through and use to be a game where you weren’t pushed and shoved to pay to get rid of ads. Before it used to be 2 dollars then 3 now it is up to 10 dollars to get rid of ads, which I know with how inflation is going through the roof you have to raise it but to also raise the amount of ads, I will literally watch a ad them go to accept the doubled or tripled ad I just watched and then it would throw me right into another ad. This used to be a great game and knowing how long and how much Hooked INC has made off this game from store to ads and still does to this day all I ask is just hold back on the ads and not let almost every single thing I touch make me go into another ad.

Fish. As I play this game it greets me to music like a bear to a honey comb, I gotta say this is a truly amazing fishing game, I have been bored just searching and searching for a fun game to play on my phone but I could never find one. As one day I stumble across this gem, it’s is beautiful in its own way I could honestly say, the shocking music when a monster fish arises from the shallow depth and I swiping across and diagonal and all kinds of way but yet it seems to get away, as I journey thru the ocean collecting fish and upgrading my boat, I could say this is the best game I’ve ever played, I thank you to who ever made this game and I’ll give you some head -wiseman

No money? No problem!. I really enjoy this game. It’s mindless swiping for the most part, and leveling is super easy. I definitely make most progress when I’m not playing, which is awesome! But it’s a great time killer. Most games make you use special hard to earn gems for perks. While Hooked has the option to buy gems, there are plenty of opportunities to earn them as well. The devs were smart to create a game that encourages ad watching rather than paying money. Double your earnings? Watch an ad. Spin the wheel for a bonus? Watch an ad. I prefer this over having my game constantly interrupted by ads and then pressured to pay money to get rid of them.

I PAID MONEY AND CANT EVEN PLAY THE GAME. When i first downloaded the game i got a little past the introduction and it started to skip and freeze. i tried restarting my phone and trying other games and there wasn’t any problems. i eventually just deleted the game and reinstalled it. once it downloaded again i got right back on to play and everything seemed fine. well as i half watched ads and half played a game that forces ads down your neck. against my better judgment i bought the dumb little $5.99 pack. well right after that i just little past where i was before and like clock work it froze again. now i can’t even get on the game at all. i find it pretty inconvenient that i spent money on a free game in the first place but now the only other option would be is to delete the game and reinstall it and lose my progress and purchases. if there’s anyone who can help please let me know. but until then im am extremely disappointed in the game. if anyone cared anyway

I lost a whole day plus. I got on this morning and I lost at least a whole day of playing. I lost points in the side game. I was at level 69 and half way to 70. Now I’m back to level 65. I lost 2 orange tackle boxes and I lost my daily streak. I had to pay 40 gems for a slot that I had already paid for. Needless to say I’m not happy. I went to send a message to get this straightened out but there is no way to get ahold of anyone if there is a problem so I had to write a review which isn’t the way I wanted to handle this but what else can I do. This isn’t the first time that I’ve lost points. I pay $20 to $30 every month for the perks of the side game but I’m not going to pay to lose perks, points, gems etc I didn’t look to see where my gems was at. I do know when I quit playing early this am I had almost 800 gems idk we’ll see.

Awesome but a few things need fixes. This game is nice good graphics and good art style and the controls are fantastic and it’s easy to learn the controls,you might say get to the point, so when I first got it I thought I would delete it the same day yeah that was 3 days ago but I had a dance competition and I went to play and all my items were gone and I was at the tutorial again and I thought it was a glitch but when I got back my items and tried to upgrade my boat it the choices got slide to the bottom right corner and I thought it was a glitch (which it was but worse) I excited and went back and it did the same thing so please fix it please it’s a game that I like and it’s very entertaining for me so please fix it please! Sincerely, anonymous

Can’t Stand How Many Ads There Are. This is a decent idle game, however the ads make me just not want to play. Every time you get a bonus or anything beneficial, normally there’s an option to double it by watching an ad. This would not be a problem if it only played an ad when you clicked the button. This is not the case, as no matter which option you pick, it will still play an ad, only if you don’t click the double it option, you can skip the ad after a minute. This literally affected my gameplay because I clicked claim on a box instead of double it, and it played an ad in the middle of me trying to catch a big fish. When I closed the ad, it showed me a pop-up which made me lose the fish. Would have gotten a way better review if the whole game wasn’t constantly shoving ads down your throat.

Add on paid for but did not receive. I have been playing this game for a very long time and have been happy to buy add on after add on because I liked the game so much. That was until recently when I purchased an add on and after the payment went through the app immediately closed and the add on was not received. I tried again a couple more times and the same thing happened but I didn’t think I would be charged since I did not receive the add on. I sent a message stating I paid for the add in and it was not received. My claim was denied!! I went one step further to explain in detail what happened and was still denied. I took it as a loss but In the end I will save quite a bit of money. I bought all of the different add ons throughout the year but will not spend a single dollar on this game from now on. Lost a good paying loyal customer for no good reason.

Great game!. This is an epic game, I have to admit. I love fishing in real life so this is the perfect game for me! Whenever I can’t go fishing, I can just play on here! The only downside to this is that I can’t boil, smoke, or cook any of the fish with my neighbors 😂. I wish more people liked your game as much as I do, but at least you have me! But can you please make a sequel game? I sadly don’t have any ideas if you do agree to make a sequel, and I also understand if you don’t agree. Anyways, thank you for this beautiful game that I love so. Thank you for bringing this game to life when others can’t fish. Thank you for the wonderful opportunities that you gave. And now, I FISH!

Amazing game but a few problems…. This game is so fun catching fish easily unlike some games while it takes lots skill and time but in this game it’s easy fun and amazing graphics. The problem is when you restart you have to just spam and upgrade so much that it becomes annoying. Also adds are every we’re trying to open a box with some money an ad pops up and every time it happens it show “tired of ads?” And you can buy something which is 1.99$ and the pop up adds happen ALL THE TIME. Once I tried to get jackpot a had to watch probably 30 ads until a got it and then I realized workers cost way more and I was sad

Best idle game. I hate phone games. Mostly because so many have timed objectives that require all of a user’s attention. This game, on the other hand, is perfect for picking up and putting down as I please. The graphics are adorable, gameplay is smooth, and I’m very pleased. I’ve seen many people gripe about the number of ads, but these don’t bother me. Most of them are optional and the ones that are not don’t take anything away from the game. Plus, doesn’t more ads mean the developer is doing something right that makes other devs want to place ads in their game? Good for them! & Thanks for all the fun!

Crashes Cintinuously. I just started playing the game and I am addicted! I opened the app earlier today and played for a long while. I opened the app a number of times in the last two hours and it crashes/freezes after 5 seconds of playing (no matter what I touch). I have plenty of storage on my iPhone, I’ve tried wifi as well as just cellular data connection, and have closed every other app with this one open. The game isn’t linked to Game Center nor any social media account, so I’m afraid to uninstall and reinstall the app (I don’t want to lose my progress). Hoping this is remediated ASAP: the crashing and the inability to save progress via a login, Game Center being linked or through a social media login.

Love it sm! But, here’s some pros, cons and other things. Btw if you wanna know if I recommend the game, look at the last paragraph, it’s a summary of everything I typed. - - Pros ; I love this game, especially when you get the big fish that never dies in the beginning, and it pays you, well let’s just say you’d be most likely 10x more rich than you were. Also I love how easy it is to catch the fish. But here’s the bad parts. Cons ; The thing is, there’s no other good things, the game is simple. There’s not much to do other than swipe and buy things. I think there should be contests or races on who can catch more. Or maybe you could invite REAL players on you’re boat. And if you were able to to pay people or bots to work for and / or with you. Other ; I don’t understand what the big deal is about “too many ads” or “ads too long” or even “the ads you have to watch for ads are a scam”. I mean, sure there’s ads, but 90% out of 100% of games have ads. Plus it’s basically you’re choice if you wanna watch an ad. I’ve never gotten an ad out of nowhere. Unless I’m opening a chest or spinning the wheel or something. I don't get it. - - Summary ; Anyways I highly recommend the game. But only if you like simple games, like loop games. I hope you have fun if you get the game. Byee<33

Horrible. This app is horrible. It might seem like a good way to spend time at first but eventually you get forced into paying to get rid of the “forced” ads. You are given the “option” to play an ad to double your income but if you click no, you are still forced to watch an ad. These come up about every 2 minutes of game play. If for some ungodly reason you decide to pay these developers and owners. You no longer have to watch ads when you don’t want to. BUT, any ads that you do decide to watch for an extra bump in progress, that you have to wait days for, the close button is cropped out of the ads to alter you out of any type of reward. Shame on the developers of this game. All they care about is ad revenue and pay to plays, forget anyone who wants to spend some time on a mindless game to get away without ruining their experience.

Cool!. Hey, this is actually pretty good! I like it that you can see where fish are underwater. I just started playing this and I am HOOKED! Get it? Yeah, it is bad, even I think so too... but still, this game is fun! To make it more cooler, it would need multiplayer! I hope you like my suggestion and add it. And also, great game! 5/5 Well, bye! H-hey, I came back, I was told to get experience point things, but then when you collect it, you go back to the first type of waters, Shallow Coast. I don’t care about losing money, but going back is like, you know... you DO get epic fish but going back to the start having to REUNLOCK all your other waters, it is just not worth it. Just why? Can you make it so you DON’T go back? If you do, well thanks! But if you don’t, I understand. Well, bai! 4/5

Why you should get this game. Ok, this game is addicting simple as that. You start playing and at first your like,” Hmmmm, I don’t get the appeal.” Next thing you know it is one o’clock at night and you are jumping up and down so proud of getting to silver pond. 🤦‍♀️ This game is incredible and so much fun. Highly recommend. This game is incredible as previously stated but it has one thing that makes me so irritated. The boxes and chests that come floating across the water are highly annoying. You catch the box and even though it gives you money it immediately gives you an ad. On the chest it says it will give me “certain amount of money” if I watch a video. If I decline it STILL forces me to watch a video. Also if I even so much as open the boxes which don’t need you to watch an ad to receive the cash it ALSO forces me to watch an ad. At this point I stopped opening all of them because it is not worth the fraction of money it offers for a 1 minute ad. Anything on the side of my screen (boxes, chests, etc.) I don’t touch because it immediately gives me an ad. Love the game. Sincerely, Daily user

Awesome!. I really hate to even take time from my fishing to review this game but I must! Goodbye Farmville country escape goodbye toy blast! I have now found my new go to game! When I got to the point that I had 672 million in cash and it asked me to trade in my experience and go back to the shallow pond I was like yeah right. But the fisherman said it would be so worth it. So I played a little bit longer. And I decided what the heck it’s just a game. So I traded in my experience and went back to the shallow pond. Best thing I ever did. the fish are worth so much more so you build up cash even faster. And when the I guess big fish comes and you swipe them they jump up in the air and land back in your boat. They are so stinking cute! Thank you so much for this game!

SO ADDICTING!!!!. So I found the game as an add on a different game, and I thought it was pretty interesting so I downloaded it. You start out pretty low when you first get the game, but you upgrade really fast!!! I love the game! it’s so addicting! The creators of the game did a fantastic job! I can’t stop playing it! Anyway, now that you know how great the game is. I can tell you what the game is about! When you get the game, it tells you about the fisherman and what you do in the game. When you play, you can upgrade your boat and your money amount! You can also have other people join your crew! The more fish you get the more money you make!! I think the game is FANTASTIC!!! Please download it, it’s so addicting! Enjoy!

Mrsubstergames. It’s a good calm game but I wish you could add more to the game like the store/upgrade by changing what you could buy like items,money,or what you have right now or boat upgrades and make a way to go back into old ponds just for a cool feature also on the spinner for the jackpot if you could plz add this make a 2x two for what you get for money add also could you make another special on the spinner wheel add a chance two get a upgrade or a rare chance to get a boss fish or gold fish for 1min also I would like it to upgrade the boosts and can you add more boosts? , I would really love if you would add this to the game it is a couple cool ideas, could you add challenges to the game like you have 5secounds to beat a strong fish boss something like that,plz add this to the game thx =)

Too many ads.. And that’s why I love it. It’s perfect, honestly. Forced ads are minimal and usually only occur if you act with anything on the right-side bar, but optional ads like the rewards wheel and gem chests are pretty much essential for quick progress. This may come as a surprise, but I actually enjoy this. It’s helped me a lot with homework, knowing I can leave the game playing an advertisement and checking it for a few seconds while working. This game has helped with keeping me entertained while I do my boring work. There’s nothing like it. A game where you only have to play for a few seconds at a time. Absolutely beautiful.

Awesome. I love the game because it's a good way for you to know why it's so dangerous to be in the water such as all those fish and it's a good game I can't stop playing it but.. There is one issue. Most of the things are too expensive and when you rebirth, you lose all your progress and you can't go back just like rebirthing is. It is such a pain to lose all your progress. One more thing, terrible ads that are scams. I saw one ad that said if you go to this link you will get "free money" by putting in your information like that. Just so you know sometimes there is violent ads that are movies that include blood. Those are PG13. Anyways it's a great game except for the ads so yeah! I do recommend this game but make sure you don't really use ads to much.

Fun. I enjoy this game it’s easy and chill. I agree with other users that it definitely has room for improvement and seems impossible to get past at a certain point. Once I finally got past the crew goal the rest are relatively easy. (Or at least attainable without spending money) I am currently waiting on #41 to get more stars. I would like if there was some kind of recycle feature for the items. I currently have at least 50 of each of the common items and no use for them. Perhaps if you could recycle a certain amount and get gems or a higher value item or something like that it would be much better. Many of my common items are still at level zero because I never needed them so they have literally been useless to me

The ads are buggy. I like the game, it’s very good, i just don’t like the fact that when the game tells me i can double my cash, or get free gems, or spin the wheel by watching an ad, a lot of the time when the ad finishes i can’t exit. i’ve been frequently having this problem, and tried to exit the ad, but i can’t. i close out of the app and go back in, and i watched the ad for nothing. the cash i would’ve gotten without watching the ad is gone, the gems are gone, the wheel isn’t spun. so in a nutshell, can you guys fix that? it’s really an annoying problem. other than that, great game. (also, the ads that do this all have a “thank you for watching” message at the end, so i’m not sure if it’s just that certain ad that bugs the game)

“My Review.”. “This game is fun! I think there should be a bit more fish. So here’s some ideas. Like add something called a raspberry dice fish it’s a square fish that’s white with red dots like the color of a raspberry and it’s eye is red with it on a dot. Then there’s the Pyro Pyramid Whale. It’s a yellow gold orange it’s usually found in the morning and it’s front is a pyramid shape and it’s eye is a peanut butter color. Then there’s a miniature pyro pyramid whale called a sunbutter dolphin. It’s also in the mornings and it’s smaller than a dolphin and its the size of a Greybob. It has black lines. That’s it. Hope you add my ideas :D if you do please give me credit. :D Il make more reviews about more fish ideas. And some ideas to add into the game. And the raspberry dice fish is common! The sunbutter dolphin is common same with the pyro pyramid whale and they are so super duper truper quadruper easy to catch.”

One suggestion. I have loved the game since I downloaded it a few months ago. At first I played it nonstop, now to build up exp I let it sit for a while rather than fishing constantly. But I still love it whenever I pick it up. I have really enjoyed the new winter update since it added a couple new characters and items. My one suggestion to the developers would be to add some sort of “Item Set” system. Like I use a different set of items for when I participate in the tournament, when I prestige and am in the lower levels but would like a boost to kill the big fish quicker, and then a third set for when I am in the later stages and I need to build up a lot of exp. It would be nice to be able to save my loadouts and name them accordingly.

Would recommend!. It’s very rare that I write reviews for games, and for a mobile game no less, but this game definitely deserves your attention. It is the absolute definition of an idle game but still has the means to keep you interested if you don’t want to let it play in the background. The ads are optional, giving you an easy way to upgrade your crew. The ads aren’t thrown in your face and are easily ignored if they don’t interest you, you aren’t forced to view them. My only complaint with this game is the music. While it’s a small complaint, I feel it should be mentioned. It feels more like something you’d hear from a farming game than a fishing game. After a few minutes, it just gets annoying. Overall, a very good game!

Ads. Kind of hard to make progress when the ads crash the game and you end up getting screwed out of your away time money as a result, seems to be happening more and more often. And when you tell them, all they say is that they're "working on it and hopefully it'll be fixed soon." It would be nice if they would compensate us in some way for the time wasted, perhaps in free gems or something, rather than essentially scamming their loyal players. In addition, the new ad for the plant identifier ad is a royal pain. It doesn't play properly so you either have to force close the app and lose out on whatever you were watching the ad for, or you have to keep hitting pause and play in order to get the video progress bar to fill up until the end of the ad. It's incredibly annoying when this ad keeps popping up repeatedly. Enough seriously make me consider dumping the game.

Good game, terrible Ad work. I enjoy this game and its a nice chill thing to do while you’re not busy, but GOOD GOD the ads drive me crazy. I completely understand that a big chunk of your revenue comes from advertisements and I respect that, but having an advert every time I open a box (the box says nothing about watching an ad to open). Even on the gem boxes, which is fair to have ads because its a premium currency, I watch an ad to open the box, then when I claim my gems I have to watch YET ANOTHER ad just to receive them. It is so frustrating and I feel like there’s more ad time than game time. Also I don’t know if the game developers can control this, but the ads are really annoying and stupid. Again, great game and relaxing, just an ungodly amount of ads.

Amazing game, but a few problems. First of all, I’d like to say this game is great. It’s fun with a simple concept, but has enough things to do in the game than most other idle games. Although I love this game, I do have some suggestions. 1. An ad plays almost every time you claim something. This can be nice because ads don’t just randomly pop up while you’re playing, but after opening treasure chests, most of the time you have to watch two ads, one to actually open it and one to claim the rewards 2. Some ads freeze the game. I’m not sure if this is necessarily the game’s fault, but it is still very annoying when you close out of an ad and a black screen pops up that you can’t get out of.

Losing interest quickly. I’ve been playing this game for 246 days now. I’m at a point where I’m not sure why I do anymore because all I do is open the app and watch an ad to increase my earnings while away. Then I spin the multiplier wheel which requires an ad. I open my boxes and watch an ad to increase how much was in the box. Granted you don’t HAVE to watch the ads, but it’s also a part of the game where you are rewarded for how many ads you watch. I spend way more time watching ads than actually playing the game. I’m at a stand still where I can’t upgrade my boat and it’s taking forever to earn enough money. I started this game all in. I spent an embarrassingly amount of time playing. Now I open it once a day to watch the ads and get my daily bobber. I’m tempted to just google pictures of the boat upgrades so I can see what they look like and move on.

Need to fix bugs. There is very little to do at higher levels, but the bugs need fixed either way. When opening a gem chest (the one where you have to watch an ad), if you accidentally press the “X” to close the pop-up instead of “claim”, you do not get the gems and the chest disappears. If “claim” is an option, closing it should just claim the gems. If it is not an option, it should minimize it back to the side. It is the same for the “away time” profit. If you close it using the “X” it just doesn’t give you anything. Also, tapping off of it should minimize it to the right as well. That way you can play the game while waiting for the playable ad to load. There are a couple of other bugs as well, but these are the most annoying - losing what you’ve earned...

Good Game But Still Really Mad (pls read important). Love the game overall, but I am really mad about something. Over time, a opportunity will appear called a tournament, if you come in first, second, or third you get a prize. The winners are determined by how much money they have at the end of six minutes. There is a gem reward, I came in first, but it says that you have to wait ten minutes to actually get your prize after you finished the tournament. Okay, that’s fine, right? No. I got bored of the game and played some other games for a while, I came back about two weeks later and still couldn’t get my 150 gems! I understand it must be a glitch or something, maybe I’m just doing something wrong, I’m not asking the developers to respond, I’m just asking them to fix this if it is the game and not just me. I’m pretty mad about this though. Thank you for your time.

Great game!. Awesome game, love it. I highly suggest buying the ad-free version it’s worth it. Okay here’s how the game can be approved. A little easier to find things in the game. The restarting for fish experience thing wasn’t very clear and I had to research what it meant online to figure it out. The ads are incredibly loud even when I don’t have the volume on, sometimes they have an option to turn off the sound of the ad and I’d say it actually turns the sound off about 70% of the time. Make the fish book easier to find, I’ve been playing this game forever without knowing that was a button. Can’t think of much else, the game is really great, awesome job!!

What!?. I completed the thanksgiving challenge last year… and so now it’s just comple. I don’t get to do it again?! It’s not a new challenge for a new year?! 😫 Why so many times I have to watch two ads to get a reward? Like if I want the ad bonus I watch one ad and then sometimes when I go to claim it after the ad ANOTHER ad plays. So a lot of times I just don’t choose the ad bonus and then I get mad because it still plays an ad sometimes ANYWAY?! How very annoying! Also….. I went to my crew mate that throws a net out, intending just to throw the net out. But I accidentally upgraded her and it cost like 800 gems… I was trying to save up to upgrade a different guy that I felt was more important. And it took me months to save up the gems. So maybe add a confirmation pop-up because that was just so ridiculous and made me very sad and annoyed.

Fun but No customer service. I love playing this game. However, I tried to purchase the mile stone offer and the app crashed. I tried again as soon as the app rebooted. Come to find out I was charged for both purchases even though I did not receive the offer items either time. I immediately disputed the charges, with the exact problem, to Apple. They came back that the purchase didn’t qualify for a refund. So Apple does not support there customers when dealing with app they offer. I then email the app support. I have not received anything back. No explanation on why this happened, and no refund. So the app also does not support its customers. I have spend hundreds in app and have received no support for their error!

waaaayy too many ads.. im completely fine with watching ads for an extra item/ action/ etc, or the occasional pop up ad that i can exit out of after 5 seconds. but the fact that you can “choose” to not double a reward by not watching an ad, only to immediately be met with a 45 second ad is incredibly annoying. its the false idea of choice, no matter what you still have to sit through an unskipable ad, and even if you DO chose to watch an ad to double a reward, more often than not trying to exit out of the screen you’re met with YET ANOTHER ad that you cant skip. its incredibly frustrating and honestly makes the game too annoying to play. again, if the popup ads were skippable after 5 seconds it wouldnt be as bad. but alas, i find myself sitting through ads more than actually playing the game.

I love it. I think this is a very good game because that the NBC players will give you money and if you don’t have a time to be staring at your phone 24 seven then you could leave it leave it overnight charging and then the day after you could have millions and millions of dollars on the game so that that’s actually what kind of makes it fun and I also like hell this game it doesn’t flood you with eggs and things like that but however you can watch an ad for a reward and I use those awards to give me those golden fish and I like how they give you for an extended amount of time and it’s not for just like 10 seconds so you need to watch like 50 ads and I also like how that you can just swipe around naked get lots and lots and lots of fish ,great job designers!

Late game gets very tedious, almost unplayable…. I love this game, I have been playing for quite a while now. However, once you are in late game, the boat gets so large and cluttered that it takes up the majority of the screen. As you gain all of the crew members that you can, it takes up the majority of the remaining screen that you can see. Any time a package, gem chest, item box, or rare fish come across the screen, it becomes near impossible to catch since the screen is completely filled. It is very easy to loose track of what you are looking for. If there was a way to minimize the crew on the left of the screen, and make the boat transparent, so you don’t lose sight of what you want to see, then this game would deserve 5 stars.

Fun, player needs to spend money to advance. I have been playing this game since before the Summer of 2019, for over 4 months I have been stuck on the same level. The amount of money needed to get to the other islands and to get more boats is nearly impossible to achieve. This game also constantly has items worth actual money, always $10+. The buttons are also really easy to click on on accident, so if you have your card connected to the App Store I would be super careful. While these things are optional, it seems they are needed in order to advance to other islands and obtain a better boats. This is extremely frustrating and makes me want to delete the app every time I play it. Also, goals take about 3 months to complete( some of them are things such as having 10 crew members, achieve 3,000,000 Exp).
