This update includes the latest Unity Engine security fixes provided by Unity.
Fishing Planet is the gold standard for simulation on mobile. This isn't an arcade 'tap-to-catch' game; it's a deep, technical simulator that considers water temperature, wind speed, and tackle weight. The graphics are breathtaking, with water ripples and lighting effects that rival PC titles.
Learning the ropes takes time. You have to understand which bait works for specific species and how to work the lure to attract a strike. For a simulation enthusiast, this complexity is the draw. The progression system feels rewarding as you unlock new gear and travel to exotic locations. It's a peaceful yet intense experience that captures the true essence of the sport.
170+ species of fish with unique AI
Thousands of tackle combinations
Photorealistic water and environments
Online tournaments and competitions
Check the weather forecast and time of day. Fish are most active during peak times shown on the graph—plan your fishing trips accordingly.
Ensure your rod, line, and reel are balanced. If your line is too weak for your reel's drag, you'll lose your catch and your lure.
Yes, the game is free to download with optional in-game purchases for advanced gear and travel licenses.
5 stars because the game deserves it. Physics feel fantastic, runs smoothly on iPhone, controls are laid out well, PLENTY of content, literally everything about the gameplay is perfect for a fishing game. My two sad notes are as follows: 1. You can’t link accounts and crossplay. It would’ve been nice to take my high level PC account on the go, but I have to start over. 2. There is not controller support, (as of September 20th, 2025) which would be huge. Literally everything else is perfect, and a new player will find TONS of fun playing - I highly recommend this to everyone looking for a fishing simulator, just know the previously mentioned details before you play so you aren’t (a little) bummed in the late game. As stated before, nothing about the gameplay is flawed. Just wish the money I spent on my other account would be useable here, and that I could use an Xbox controller to play. Have loved and will continue to love the game devs, you really do deserve 5 stars! :)
I took the time to write this review for two reasons. #1: I love the game’s graphics and design - some of the very best I have ever seen. The fishing is very realistic, making it the best fishing game I have ever played. #2: One of the challenges that I face while playing the game is the requirement of a complete and steady internet connection. This can make it very hard to play on-the-go or when doing multiple things on your phone at once. At any point in gameplay that I have to leave the app, even for just a second, I find that when I return the game resets and renters the app, losing any fish that may have been on the line. The game also can appear very slow for beginners, along with being confusing for someone who has never fished before. I would suggest an ADVANCED tutorial for those levels which are under 5. Lastly, I have found the chat feature to be both pleasing and disagreeable. While I enjoy chatting, I do not enjoy the spam created by many inside. Very many times I have been disturbed by people inside the chat talking in gibberish that would be unclear for the average person. Here is an example from a conversation at Emerald Lake: Ya bagus klo baca nya dari kanan wkwkwk. Please have someone monitor the chats! Thanks so much for reading, it really is a good game all in all!
This is by far the best fishing game on mobile, very realistic and has amazing graphics love playing this game can’t get enough of it I’ve even recommended it to multiple friends and family bc we are all advocate fisherman and fisherwoman. I also have some ideas I’d hope you will take in consideration of maybe adding the opportunity to go snagging for fish or use small fish u catch as bait I’d love it even more than I already do and I’m sure many others would also. I play this game everyday. Also I would love to see an option to watch some ads for some money credits bc since I’ve reached level 39 it has got very hard to save up money credits to go to more expensive spots to level up. Thank for your time and I hope you will take in consideration of my suggestions thank u for all the work you guys put into this game and god bless you
I’ve played a lot of fishing games before, I’ve always been searching for a “realistic”/ “interactive” fishing game. Trust me I’ve been searching for a while, well I found this game a couple months ago, I had it on a older device and upgrade to a new device so sadly I’ve lost all my progress but! I find it very fun because I can start over and fix all my mistakes I’ve already made in the past. This game is truly a one of a kind, the detail is very impeccable, I would love to see more places added such as like maybe just like a little tournament pond like a catfish or carp pond to place “bets” and stuff it would be amazing, and some more boats would be amazing as well, but as of now this is the best fishing game I’ve ever played, I’m very amazed! Good work, I’ve never been so driven for a games success before.
This game, let me say has changed the game. Searching for a fishing simulator I stumbled across this game and I noticed it was big to install, no biggie, I just connected to Wi-Fi and was good to go, had to create a player when I started and that was cool; I wanted to fish so I figured the first figure was good enough. I see in the next menu that I can go all over the world, wow how incredible, but I start in Texas to get my feet wet. I get to dig through compost, now I have worms to fish with, let’s go fishing planet we go to cast, lightly cast out and watch the bobber straighten out as the line falls further into the water. Now a bite! Easily the best fishing game I’ve tried on my iPhone, try this game if you like to fish; and it’s on PlayStation!
It’s a great game, there ain’t a lot of good fishing games. I feel like if you were to add a new mechanic like to be able to catch bait fish and be able to use them as bait would be awesome. Also it’s a pain that the only boats that have a rod holder you have to pay for I’ve spent my fair share of money for the ocean packs and am now grinding like crazy to be level for ocean fishing, that leads to a new mechanic if you buy packs for like let’s say Congo River, it lowers the level you need to unlock it and depending on how much the pack costs it will take off more levels, it will take away more levels the more expensive the pack is. Along with one last thing the ability to to money into bitcoins. I hope you read this and think it over.
Bo, here! It is absolutely amazing that they have been able to take the entire game and put it on our mobile devices! But- there’s still some kinks! Do I like being disconnected every time I exit the app or shut my phone off? No… and it makes rods in stands almost impossible to use well without constantly playing. Which I don’t do on Mobile. The bells on the rods ring constantly even after picking up, which makes it very difficult to play with sound on all the time. A visual icon display of rods in stands would be great to play the game with no sound but still know when a rod in a stand has a bite. Once these few things are fixed, we’ll have the best+est fishing game on mobile, because it’s easily already the best.
Amazing fishing simulator. Realistic as you can get and challenging just like actual fishing. It’s the only game that mimics real fishing to me. Here’s the catch, the game is extremely extremely hard to play without either spending TONS of money or absolutely grinding the game. This personally takes a lot of the fun out of the game, I want to fish not need to really do so much and be so careful with my in-game money. Making profit per trip is challenging and makes it hard to enjoy the game for me. Even if you do spend money the lake passes are limited time. Basically the game is amazing but forces you to spend money to enjoy to the point that it just needs a full version. I’d spend 60 bucks for a full version with everything unlocked for my Xbox setup (probably not mobile)
