Pros and cons of iFish Ontario app for iPhone and iPad
iFish Ontario app good for
Awesome app! Very imformative, nice to see that theyre keeping on top of it by updating and adding new FREE features and content like HotSpots! Keep it going guys!!
Love this app! I check the lake report feed daily to see whats going on out on the water and whats biting. very well designed
This is my most used app on my phone, love that they added the ice reports in this update. 5 stars, highly recommend.
Checked out this app, looks awesome! I’ve entered into a few tournaments tournaments and gonna use some hotspots and lake reports in pre-tourney fishing!
I love it. This is a great pre trip tool; however I would like to see the Great Lakes further broke down into smaller regions. For example the St. Marys river or Owen Sound and so on. All in all though great app!
Its an awesome app. I love the features. However, I think the company should invest in advertising. It would be nice if there were more users to give more feedback on lakes.
Some bad moments
This app is not worth looking at,even if it were free. I live in Guelph and have tried the proximity search numerous times to come up with the same result. Apparently if you want to fish for smallies within 25km of Guelph its somewhere near Sudbury. The last time I looked at a map that is a hell of a lot further than 25km. To think Bob Izumi endorsed this app. I guess $ talks.
I want my five bucks back! Barely works, bad info, no rivers. Not sure why it has any good reviews!
No matter the search, I get nothing but error messgaes, great way to spend $5
I keep getting constant errors and nothing loads even on wifi. Ive been telling all my fishing buddies not to buy it unless it gets seriously fixed. Ive emailed them and no response. I love the navionics app much better.
Some of the information in the app you can get for free such as regulations and directions. For example go to the MNR site
and you get the Fishing Zone information in pdf. The Lake Reports are scant and really dont say much except to say "look I caught such and such fish.". Google search will get you much better info. As for the hotspots, these are user reported and as such doesnt necessarily mean they are hot spots. Furthermore the hotspot reports are scant as well. This is for checking one of the most fished lakes in Ontario. For less fished lakes you will get even less information. Save your money and dont buy this app. You can get the same and often better information from Google.
This app is purely about gathering info that you can get free elsewhere. Its nice to have it all in one place but not at tha price.
A Fishing App should at least provide depth contour fishing maps! That sight says they do but I could not find any (please fix this)
Also, it would be nice to be able to navigate the map and select the lakes right from the map (rather than searching by lake and proximity, this can become very onerous when looking for info about adjoining lakes).
Also, please clarify how to save lakes when offline, this in not very clear and would be useful. Thanks
