Forever building

Send me my money
I was checking my money and the payment went through make a better program
★★★★ upyourswithatwistingknife 4/3/2026 v4.5.1
Game sucks
This game is an endless cash grab begging for you to constantly pay anything to get barely nothing. It’s bs. Game sucks, typical click and pay game with no real payout of the “random” prizes. You ALWAYS get the lowest payout, even when you pay for it.
★★★★ Mtnbkrmark 4/2/2026 v4.5.1
Just dumb
There is so little catching fish. This game has so many dumb mini games i stopped playing after a week. If I cast 5 times i’m lucky to catch 1 fish. The other 4 catches are crossbows, submarines, and whatever other dumb thing they made up.
★★★★ Mayberry1981USA 3/29/2026 v4.5.1
Rip off
It’s bad enough I don’t get the full “reward” hooks when building - never received the prize from the end of the event:( bad business. You got what you got of my & and time.
Avoid
★★★★ @$sih 3/25/2026 v4.5.1
Missing reward
After spending a few hundred dollars on this game i was lucky enough to win the dinosaur egg competition but i never got the reward. Wth?
★★★★ VegasCat 3/25/2026 v4.4.0
Horrible!!!!!
Game was fine at first. But then I could not cast at all. Apparently, the only way to get more than a couple casts is to spend mo way. No thanks! What kind of game barely lets you play and then keeps asking for money?! Oh yeah, a GREEDY game. Are you kidding me?! Pass!!!
★★★★ nofun991 3/15/2026 v4.4.0
Everytime you catch something someone steals it and we don’t have that option
Don’t waste your time!
★★★★ PendrgnTX 3/12/2026 v4.4.0
Scam game
Good graphics, realistic play.
BUT - spend more time wading through pushy “buy this” than actually fishing. And at a certain level the game is rigged so you CAN’T land your fish.
Free game, but I WANT MY MONEY BACK.
★★★★ Tlindmn 2/27/2026 v4.3.1
Slow
Fun game, but way too many levels and constant ask for $$$
★★★★ KingLundqvist 2/22/2026 v4.3.1
Pay to play
Ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads
★★★★ Bero Avi 2/19/2026 v4.3.1
Not like the ad
I would like to know what the actual game name is for the ad i watched and half played because it was wayyyy more fun than whatever i was basically lied to to play was.
★★★★ Blair Monroe 2/18/2026 v4.3.1
Not enough info on the game
My fish was stolen from my aquarium. When I tried to look up how can a player steal fish from other players, there was no information on this. The customer support team was no help. Just provided “canned” answers.
★★★★ Nsw518 2/13/2026 v4.3.1
Not paid out for competition.
I have been loving this game recently. But I won a competition and never got any of my rewards for it and there is ZERO customer support for this game at all if you have an issue. I’m highly disappointed.
★★★★ Did not want to play anyhow 2/2/2026 v4.2.0
Poor instructions on how to play
Improve or sell app
★★★★ BIEBFLIP101 1/29/2026 v4.2.0
Scam
Do not waste your time! This game is a scam! Payed money to get hooks and made it to first place in the tournament, never received the awards! Contacted them but no response. That is stealing! Do not fall for this scam!
★★★★ Cbiz91 1/18/2026 v4.1.0
Scam
The game is somewhat fun but don’t waste your time or money trying to win events. This game doesn’t pay out your earned rewards.
★★★★ TrueBlah4119872 1/10/2026 v4.0.1
RIPOFF
I spent a lot of $$$ on this game because it was fun for me to relax… I was notified that I had to update and link my FB account so I did and next thing I know all my stuff was lost… not sure what level I was but I was having to watch the tutorial again… I’m out! I hope this doesn’t happen to anybody else. Ridiculous.
★★★★ Humanly Possible 1/9/2026 v4.0.1
Not like ads
I downloaded it because of how the ads showed the game play. It’s literally completely different.
★★★★ EricaLOli 12/31/2025 v4.0.1
Scammed
I was in 1st place for the ice cream competition and when it ended I got nothing! Im new to the game but I’ve already spent money on it just for it to scam me! Then I tried contacting customer service and it’s automated so it was no help and when you try to contact through the AppStore it takes you nowhere.
★★★★★ Aaaassddfghhhhj 5/5/2026 v4.8.0
Ads
They can claim this is an ad free game and it’s not you’ll get to a point where they will make a fish that is almost impossible to catch either a have to spend money by stronger real, which doesn’t really help or you have to watch ads to keep trying to catch the same fish. It’s a mythical level fish and your tension. Meter will go all the way to the left, but they do not tell you what you need to do in those incidents do you have let go of the button to reel in fish gets away I tap fish gets away. I hold down fish gets away. Cannot find any information on what I’m supposed to do when that tension meter goes all the way to the left.
★★★★★ Godmanzilla 4/29/2026 v4.7.1
Good game but….
The game is awesome but at the end it literally requires your wallet to be able to enjoy it for more than 10 minutes at a time. The gameplay and everything is great but to make everything pay to play is just toooo much for me. Awesome game though.
★★★★★ cyedica 4/24/2026 v4.7.1
Too many adds
I love this game. Been playing it for several months. but the adds in this game are out of control. Daily log in - you have to watch an add. It’s almost impossible to land a larger fish on the first try so you either spend your hooks or watch an add. Fish gets hurt in the aquarium you have to watch arch an add. It’s hard to walk away from this game but I can’t deal with the adds anymore
★★★★★ keu5 3/19/2026 v4.4.0
Boring
Not like ad
★★★★★ mdldflek 3/7/2026 v4.3.1
Long intro
Tutorial too long, players of the game aren’t that stupid to be able to figure it out with a skip tutorial button. That blonde bimbo jus keeps yapping to me it’s annoying
★★★★★ ShroomyFaye 1/31/2026 v4.2.0
If installing from an add it’s not the same
I installed this game from an ad that made it seem like as you’d fish you’d send the hook down you’d see it go underwater, and as the fish hook would go up in the water, you would hook different fish upon installing the game that was not at all what the game was instead you cast out and then you hold a button to drill in and you find out what you caught afterwards, I don’t appreciate the false advertising so I’m now uninstalling
★★★★★ Cryst11 1/28/2026 v4.2.0
Ads linked to progress
I don’t like that the bonus fish automatically require you to watch an ad and they get longer as you progress
★★★★★ Chris36fireman 1/21/2026 v4.1.0
Fish game review
Fishing game made me start over. After a couple weeks. Didn't save progress. Not recommend for your invested time.
★★★★★ Stickfuguer 12/28/2025 v4.0.1
Not the fishing game I wanted
Too many unskippable animations. Just want a game to fish. Got to pay to play (unless you want to wait to get hooks).
