i Fishing is a highly realistic fishing simulator that focuses on depth and realism. Unlike arcade games, it requires players to drive their boat around a lake, use a fish finder, and choose the right lures and techniques to catch over 10 species of fish. With 15 unlockable lakes, tournament modes, and a unique 'Fish-a-Photo' feature, it offers a comprehensive angling experience.

Our Expert Score
iFishing is arguably the most realistic fishing simulator available on mobile. Developed by an avid fisherman, it completely avoids the 'arcade' mechanics found in most fishing games. Instead of just tapping a button to reel in, you have to manage line tension, lure depth, and even the speed of your boat. It’s a slow-paced, methodical experience that rewards patience and strategy.
The game features 15 unlockable lakes, each with its own variety of freshwater species. The fish AI is surprisingly deep, mimicking schooling behavior and specific lure preferences based on underwater structures like lily pads or logs. One of the best 'legacy' features is the 'Fish-a-Photo' mode, which lets you superimpose your digital catch onto a real photo for a fun, personalized brag. If you're looking for a relaxing but technically deep simulation of the sport, iFishing is the gold standard.
Features
15 unlockable lakes with varying difficulty
Driveable boat with fish finder
Realistic fish AI and schooling behavior
Unique 'Fish-a-Photo' sharing feature
Tips & Walkthrough
Use the fish finder while driving your boat. Look for drop-offs or underwater structures like logs and weeds where fish like to hide.
Gameplays
When a fish strikes, watch the tension meter. Reeling too fast will break the line, while reeling too slow might let the fish escape.

Sun Feb 03 2019 Got grapes 209Have had this for awhile now it never gets boring
Great game, but needs updating
Fri Jul 24 2020 Qman314Keeps trying to switch apps when trying to increase reel speed. Would be nice if hints were easier to pull up when in tournament play. Otherwise great game have had it through several iPhones now. Keep going back to pull up the big one. To put all others to shame! Very fun!!

Finally a real fishing app!
Thu Oct 23 2008 VoteVickUSAThanks to Egerter Software for finally providing iPhone users with a real fishing app. I have been amazed at the popularity of the other fishing app out there, as it is just so poorly designed. I asked for major improvements, and basically got nothing. This app is a bit more expensive, but not by much. The price is well worth it. A lot of planning clearly went into this app. The controls are easy to master, and look realistic, unlike the other app in the store. You can actually control where your boat is, you can see a radar fishfinder, the reel is integrated into the casting controls, there is a virtual fishing instructor with audible advice, and the list just goes on and on. Unlockable lakes, tournaments, real fish, great scenery, great sound. There isn't much I can even think of asking for in an update. Heck, you can even superimpose a picture of the fish on an existing picture in your photo roll, allowing you to send a shot of yourself with the fish to friends. How randomly cool is that?! It's as if Egerter Software saw my review of the other app, then went out and did everything I asked for and much more. Accept no imitations! This is as close to real fishing as you can get sitting in your apartment with your phone. I love this app, and I hope everybody buys it.
Not A Fisherman
Tue Dec 23 2008 Becks431I don't fish, I don't know anything about fishing, I hate worms, and don't like sitting around in a boat watching the horizon. I like racing games, helicopter games, flying games and strategy games. I only bought this I-Fishing Game because so many people said good things about it. I like to Sail. THIS GAME IS GREAT. I love it. I really feel like I'm fishing without all the fuss. I was "hooked" line & sinker in about 10 minutes. This is truly an entertaining application. I played the "fun" mode for about 10 minutes....then went into the tourniment mode. What a blast. The graphics are terrific, the water shimmies. I wish I had an I-Phone to feel the vibration when a fish strikes. The application runs flawlessly for me. No problems at all. Who knows...by summer I may consider the real thing...rubber worms of course. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because I don't wnat the developer to stop making improvements to this app...whatever they might be. Now..if only the boat had a head..I would be all set.
