Persistent Crashes and Connection Failures
Game fails to launch or crashes immediately after opening, often stuck on 'connecting to server' screen or shows server errors.
12
reviews
- “Every time I try to open the game I can’t get pass the connecting to server screen as it crashes on both my iPad and iPhone 16.”
- “Crashing within 10 seconds of launch every time.”
- “The game will not come up!!! It just says the server is Brocken!”
Unfair Progression and Pay-to-Win Mechanics
Game progression is extremely slow or impossible without spending real money; key items, upgrades, and content locked behind microtransactions.
14
reviews
- “Nearly impossible to progress without paying, avoid like the plague.”
- “It takes like forever to get like 35000 coins and get a ANOTHER 50000 COINS!! So add a faster way to get coins or maybe even get, also HOW WOULD I GET 750 GEMSSSSSSSSSS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭”
- “You don’t in out of stones and money fast. so you are unable to progress the story unless you pay money to get stones so you can buy items you need like bait for the monsters”
Broken or Unrewarding Ads and In-App Rewards
Ads promise rewards (gems, coins, chests) but fail to deliver, freeze mid-play, or do not unlock content despite completion.
8
reviews
- “To open chests you need to pay a gem or watch a add, the add freezes at 15 seconds left, then after clicking on the add and then returning to the game the add will freeze again at 2 seconds and this time won’t continue.”
- “I am fast getting tired of opening chests by watching the ad and NOT receiving reward.”
- “Fix the ad bugs please — The game is good but it has ads that promise a reward without delivering”
Racially Insensitive Character Design and Stereotypes
Character faces, especially in wardrobe options, depict offensive racial stereotypes (e.g., yellow skin, squinted eyes) associated with Asian people.
7
reviews
- “One of the face options in this game depicts a disgusting stereotype of Asians where the skin color is blatantly YELLOW, with squinted eyes.”
- “the default faces in the closet that i think are supposed to be asian look more like lemon people. not great”
- “This game was fun until I clicked on the wardrobe and found a very yellow slit eyed face option looking at me. Very stereotypical racist version of an asian...”
Impossible or Broken Catch Mechanics
Fishing mechanics are broken—line breaks randomly, monsters never appear, or rare catches are nearly impossible regardless of effort or bait.
9
reviews
- “Worst bug ever experienced — I have spent over 80 gems on monster bait trying to catch the first big catch of shark, watched my wife do it in two tries but it’s literally impossible for some reason on my account.”
- “Terrible — The fishing is so dumb, line breaks totally randomly, everything’s crazy expensive, as soon as I unlock pvp at level 5 everyone I face is level 20 with crazy stats...”
- “Make it way to difficult to catch the boss fishes. Delete.”
Lack of Core Features and Poor Game Design
Missing essential features like controller support, account deletion, reset functionality, or proper multiplayer, leading to frustration.
6
reviews
- “Needs controller support. NEEDS CONTROLLER SUPPORT. NEEDS CONTROLLER SUPPORT.”
- “Can’t Reset Game — Played this a while ago and loved it, one of my favorite games. Came back and wanted to start over since I didn’t remember most of it but wasn’t able to reset everything.”
- “Why is there no easy option to delete an account?!”
Poor Server Stability and Account Sync Issues
Game fails to connect to servers, loses progress after reinstallation, or uses device login instead of Game Center, preventing shared play.
5
reviews
- “I love the game, I’ve played it for a while then stopped, but today I wanted to play again and I just can’t open the game, it’s not even lagging, it just won’t connect me to a server, or the app just closes by itself.”
- “Lost all progress — I lost all my progress, because I redownloaded the game, because i was getting crash every time after opening the game after 2 seconds, can’t even create an account to save progress...”
- “Unfortunately the game severely limits playing opportunities for us. First it is not based on your Apple Game Center Profile. Instead it uses your Apple device login.”
Excessive Grinding and Repetitive Gameplay
Game becomes boring quickly due to endless grinding, repetitive tasks, and lack of meaningful variety or progression.
6
reviews
- “Boring — Boring all you do is cast and get trash”
- “Nice game, but….. This is a lovely game, with pleasant music that is not irritating, a nice interface and no ads. But, it is sooooooooooooooooo Sloooooowwwwwwwww to make progress! And it is becoming very boring after just 10 mins.”
- “Really predatory RNG designed to waste time — I knew what I was in for. Time wasting fishing. This game will notice that you’re about to finish tasks and then refuse to not give you a hooked item to allow you to complete the quest.”

First load takes ~60–120s. Cached after.
