Analyzed automatically. Assessed 2026-10-05 from 506 user reviews. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
This analysis describes version 10.1.2 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-05 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 10.1.2, updated 2026-09-18.
What the analysis found
One source only — shown, not confirmed 3
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Aggressive ad load
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.
Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
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…
Paywall blocks the basics
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!
What happened? — So I just redownloaded this app this month after 4 months or so. Why is everything behind a paywall? The top 5 lures used to be free but now 3 of them we have to pay for. This is stupid please fix this.
How the automated analysis works
This assessment is produced automatically. One independent signal is read — user reviews — and each candidate finding is filed under the source that supports 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.
Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
