For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Misleading advertising: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (1.0% of 507 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Reviewers repeatedly report that the app is not what its advertising showed. We never see the ad creative itself, so nothing we collect can corroborate or refute this — it is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 11 distinct reviewers (2.2% of 507 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
Aggressive ad load: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (1.0% of 507 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
507 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
Bait and switch. Deceptive practices used to get you to buy the pro version. — Of course there is a paid version that has more features like every app. No problem. But they say you get all these gift cards to different online tackle shops…
Sales ploy — It’s primarily centered on bait and switch monthly plans like bait boxes and other subscriptions. The data provided to an angler is easily found on Google and the interface is poor at best. Not worth the cost and beware of…
Atrocious App — Everyone the app is opened it takes me to an upgrade to pro screen even though I’m already a pro member. Crashes often and good luck getting the $20 tackle warehouse gift code they promise with pro upgrade. Emailed support…
It was was better before — Used to love this app, now with all the paywalls and ads I barely use it. Update; 2 stars now because the developer thinks I don’t know how ads work. They have some free things still yes but when half the page…
Bass forecast — This app is very helpful and it has plenty resources and features that help catch more fish and bigger fish. my only problem is a lot of features are locked behind a paywall. Even in the free version you still get good…
Negative Changes — When I downloaded this app, you saw all top 5 baits. Now you have to pay to see them all. Poor choice for anglers!
Crippled by ads — I pay for this app and it has become crippled by a pop up advertisement. There’s no way to get back to the app, no escape.
Why am I getting ADs when I subscribe!? — I’ve been subscribed to bass forecast for the last 2 (maybe 3) years but all of a sudden I’m getting ADs! Between forced ads even though I’m a paying subscriber and the bass forecast number…
Cool Info, BOMBARDED with ADS — Literally, it’s difficult to access information, or even simply type in your location due to CONSTANT pop up ads taking over the app.
A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.
Supporting measurements. They are not a complete list of possible harms or positives. “Not assessed” means we could not measure it — never zero, never a pass.
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

bassforecast-apple-1088297101Assessed 2026-10-13 from 507 user reviews, the store listing and its privacy label. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
No itemized purchase list is available for this listing.
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
Write to [email protected], or use the form. Name the finding, the app version and the evidence that needs correcting. Factual corrections are free and never depend on buying anything.
