Fish Rules: Fishing App

This app has potential of being great. I do have a couple issues/recommendations to make it better. 1) we create a user profile. Why doesn’t my favorites on my iPhone populate to my iPad if both are logged into the same account? 2) The search feature seems buggy. There are times I search for “drum” and nothing comes back. Other times red drum will show as a result but black drum will not. This search feature would work great if all results came back that had that word in it. Example: if I knew I just caught some sort of “grouper”, I’d like to search for “grouper” and see all results, not have to keep scrolling down.

This app was my go to app for fishing and spearfishing in Florida State and Federal waters. Prior to the update, I could set the map on my normal home area, Panama City Beach and the app would always open to that location and load species and rules for that region. After update, it automatically sets my location to Ga State Waters because that is where I live. I have to reset the map and when I go into a fish and look at regulations, it defaults back to Ga State waters (my home location) This has almost rendered the app more frustrating than useful now. Previously it was the best rules and regulations app I’d ever used. Now it is just a frustration having to reset the map location after each regulation view. Please fix this so you can set a map location and it will stay. Let me choose when to move the map. Since I fish and dive 95% of time in PCB, I’d like for it to stay there rather than reverting back to Ga State waters where I permanently live. So sad to see this happen to an amazing app!

It could possibly be awesome if more effort was put into it. I saw an episode of DMFD where the creator had it advertised on the side of his boat... in florida, and the florida rules seem kind of undone. A few pictures missing. Its quite easy to get a picture of any fish anywhere. Also, since its a fishing rules app, i dont understand the need for things to have to scroll through like manatees, coral, whales, sea turtles. Im pretty sure no one needs to look up if they can keep that humpback whale they foul hooked :-/ . it seems like a waste of space as there is already tons of species of fish here in florida to have to identify, why clutter it more with unnecessary pointless info to have to navigate through..... ive seem the creator on DMFD ( thats how i found it) he seems like a logical guy. not understanding the whale/turtle/manatee thing. Im glad it was free.

Very nice to have current regs(updated when you open app) for your location at the tip of your fingers. Even if you’re going to be out of cell service range, like on an offshore trip, just open app before you leave cell range to get latest updates then you’re set for the day. If you want to know regs for where you’re going just click on location bar at bottom, manually set location on map, then look up fish. Easy app to use and is always up to date, very glad to have found this app.

This used to be my favorite fishing rules app. I loved its simplicity and ease of use. I believe that it will be that again but it still ends work. One of my favorites functions was the ability to see favorites and actually have the pictures of those favorites at the top of the listing. The new version only allows you to see the favorites as a list not as pictures. Yes you can filter on favorites but you get a list of names which you then have to select to see the pictures. It was a lot easier to be able to see favorites via pictures. Hope you bring this feature back.
