OnX Fish: Midwest Fishing Maps App Comments & Reviews
OnX Fish: Midwest Fishing Maps Positive Reviews
Wish the location and fish count was more up to dateApps is good but only if it can actually know your location and show surroundings lakes, river, streams that are public access and has fish plus more up to date info..Version: 24.39.0
This app has a lot of potential, but plenty of issuesAt this point, the app is in beta, so hopefully most of the wrinkles will be ironed out. But if they don’t make some major changes, I wouldn’t pay for it. The interface, which is the same as the other onX apps, is great. The mapping is not very good. Contour lines on lake maps are low resolution and not very accurate. The property lines are not as well defined as onX hunt. The area insights are basic, but in my experience, quite accurate. While being able to search for fishing spots is great, the search does not seem to be very good. It misses some lakes that fit your criteria but includes others that don’t. My biggest problem with the app is that the fish survey data is not well presented. It doesn’t match lengths to abundance data, and just presents the best data available. This makes lakes with unstable fish populations look way better than they actually are. Hopefully they improve this app, because it is definitely unique in its approach, but it needs some major work yet before I pay for it..Version: 24.49.0
It’s an all inclusive fish scouting experienceThis app has completely transformed how I plan my fishing adventures. With the ability to filter by species, trophy potential, and abundance, finding the perfect fishing spot has never been easier. One of the standout features is the access to DNR survey data, right at your fingertips, making research seamless and efficient. I also love the built-in weather reports and radar overlays, which are invaluable for keeping an eye on changing conditions while on the water. It’s practical, intuitive, and incredibly detailed. Honestly, this is the only fishing app I rely on now. It’s an all-in-one tool that just keeps getting better with every update. If you’re serious about fishing, this app isn’t just A game-changer it is THE game-changer!.Version: 24.45.3
Very useful tool although…This app is very useful in the aspect of giving you information on the species in a given body of water with just the click of a button. Although I would like to see an expansion upon the feature that allows you to save lakes I would implement a folder system that allows you to put different bodies of water in nameable folders like for example putting all of your crappie lakes in one folder and walleye lakes in another just to help with organization of your favorite lakes. Other than that I absolutely love this app..Version: 24.25.0
Lake ContoursJust saw an news article about this app and thought I would give it a try. Has great info and seems easy to use however haven’t figured out how to add a “numbered” spot to a map and include the details/onfo that exist on some lakes but not all. To that point it seems that only lakes with fish info include lake contour lines for all WI which seems odd. Knowing the app is still in development I’m hopeful that that changes in future updates. Also seems to be lacking ice fishing info but also guessing that’s coming in future updates. I will for sure be using the app this ice season and see how it goes. Hence 3 star review at this time..Version: 24.45.3
All the best features in one app.The onX Fish app is the best app I’ve found with all the tools an angler would need in one spot. I appreciate the detailed maps that highlight fishing spots, water depths, and access points, making it easy to scout out the best areas. The app also provides up-to-date weather, water conditions, and fishing forecasts. I’m really looking forward to when they expand the app to more of the Midwest!.Version: 24.43.0
Finding New Lakes Has never Been EasierWith this app anglers will be able to research new quality lakes to fish like never before. I’ve enjoyed playing around with it and realizing in the neighborhood I grew up in Otter Tail County is full of lakes I’ve never heard of that have trophy quality walleye, bass, and of course panfish but I had no idea the potential and I can’t wait to go check them out!.Version: 24.21.0
Revolutionary FeaturesI always found that most fishing apps lack so many important features, this app seems to have everything I’m looking for. Contour maps, hot spot information, public access points, weather integration, way point marking, and so much more. It’s very customizable and super user friendly..Version: 24.45.0
Only fishing app you’ll ever buyThis app is absolutely incredible, from DNR lake surveys, topo maps, property lines to access points this app has every bit of information any serious angler would use. It’s replaced all my fishing apps and I cannot wait until more of the country is included! Congrats OnX on hitting it out of the park yet again!!!.Version: 24.21.0
Very nice layoutThe app is very easy to use and understand. The phone does not have any problems running this app unlike other fishing maps. It provides the user with a lot of information on the lake and the fish in the lake. I am very happy and will be recommending it to everyone that is interested!.Version: 24.45.3
Great ResourceI’ve played with this app quite a bit since launch. The interface is excellent, clean and easy to use. It’s been awesome for scouting out new lakes, and also saving spots where I’ve found fish. I’d definitely recommend spending a little time with it if you’re an angler in MN..Version: 24.21.0
Good start - needs depth contours!Has great potential… I love OnX HUNT and I’m sure FISH is in its early development stages… BUT the most important feature an app like this needs is detailed depth contours. I have to imagine that’s coming, and I’m sure Navionics charges an arm and a leg to use their contour maps but that is a must-have. Add Navionics-quality, detailed depth contours, I’ll pay for it and add two more stars to my review..Version: 24.45.3
Good appI love almost everything about this app, but I would love to see eelpout or burbot added to the list of fish. Other then that this app is key in finding spots on the water to fish..Version: 24.45.3
Combine this with OnX HuntPlease come out with a version of this as a layer for OnX hunt if possible or a combination app. A lot of people both hunt and fish. It would be nice to have a do all app for that as I don’t think one currently exists. So far so good. I’m enjoying this..Version: 24.21.1
Game changerThis app is everything fishing has ever needed. Way better than fishbrain or any other app. It’s a first of its kinda.Version: 24.49.1
Great app, but could use some improvement.This app is great for many different applications, and brings a lot of different information that both serious and amateur anglers can appreciate. This app takes in a lot of information and presents it all in one location which is very helpful for a one click option for access to different recourses. This is something that no other app does successfully and they did a great job of making that happen. However there are a few things with this app that I find don’t serve there purpose properly. The first of which is both the “trophy potential” and “fish abundance” labels. I have found that most of the lakes around my area and beyond simply have misleading information about them. Many well known trophy walleye lakes do not list walleye with “trophy potential” but then another lake that is more known for smaller size walleye will receive the “trophy potential” label. This is not only true for walleye, but every other fish species as well. The same goes for the “fish abundance” which just seems very inconsistent with the reality with how many fish are actually in a lake. I understand that they are just estimating, but I think many could take this information too seriously and end up making a fishing trip to a lake only to find the information wasn't consistent with reality. The other issue is the lake contours are poor. If you are looking to get an app to give you lake contours this is not the app for you. I would love to see them upgrade the contours to something more accurate like Lakemaster or Navionics, but I know that’s a big ask. Overall I think this app is very useful and all anglers should take advantage of it, but I would not take the “fish abundance” and “trophy potential” to seriously. The Minnesota DNR website gives you access to all that raw data for free and is easier to digest. I hope that helps some of you..Version: 24.21.1
Love the lake-specific regulations!With so many lakes having special regulations these days it is really nice that this app includes those!.Version: 24.21.1
AmazingVery good interactive app Fish regs per lake is huge. Being able to quickly look up limits and species!!.Version: 24.43.2
I’m very impressed with this app!It’s the best compilation of fishing info I’ve seen on an app for the angler looking to get out and explore!.Version: 24.45.3
It’s a good startI see this expanding in it’s usefulness as OnX continues to massage the features. I’m excited for what’s to come.Version: 24.45.3
Awesome job, folks!Great app and a real timesaver when scouting. Thanks for a job well done..Version: 24.45.3
Great appSeems to be accurate as far as picking out good fishing lakes!.Version: 24.49.1
More LakesI am liking the app so far but it is missing many lakes, specifically ones I fish. Are you planning on adding more lakes in Minnesota?.Version: 24.49.1
Great!Awsome app I love useing it. could use stalking data, water clarity and if in DNR data all samples bait species on the survey list..Version: 24.29.1
Fishing made sexyNever before have I seen a fishing app so sleek. Chefs kiss..Version: 24.11.0
Great App!The best “one stop shop” app for researching fisheries, e-scouting, and preparing for a fishing trip..Version: 24.43.1
