    Why anglers switch

    What Fishbrain users say — and how we handle it

    "Pay to play just to view catches in specific locations."

    On The Fish shows catch limits from your GPS — no paywall.

    "Forced to pick from predetermined spots nowhere near the actual catch."

    We read GPS directly from your photo. No forced location selection.

    "Feed is broken — showing old catches with no way to filter recent ones."

    Clean, chronological social feed. See what your mates just caught.

    "Not getting the value I was getting before while paying the same price."

    AUD$18 a year. No surprises. Full feature set from day one.
