We tell you what to catch,
where and how, like no-one else

Since launching under the name, Fiskher in 2020, more than 900,000 users have downloaded the app that tells you what to catch where and how.

Fishbuddy by Fiskher will provide expert advice from the best anglers in each country where the app is launched. So far in Scandinavia, Germany, The Netherlands and Florida, but still scaling and aiming for newer territories.

Features

We even tell you what fish you caught, what matters the most to many of us, and how big it is, instantly.

Expert-Curated Fishing Spots

Discover the best fishing spots selected by expert local anglers across the country. Each spot is carefully chosen for the highest likelihood of catching your target species—whether you’re fishing saltwater, rivers, or lakes.

With over 167,000 expert-curated fishing spots already in the app and new locations added weekly, you’re always just a tap away from your next successful fishing adventure!

AI Spots

We’ve created 750,000 AI-generated spots using our unique satellite-based depth maps. These are placed on underwater peaks, drop-offs, and other key structures.

They’re not species-specific, but they are prime locations where predatory and baitfish meet – perfect for exploring new waters.

AR Length and Weight Estimation

The world’s first of its kind. Just take a photo of your catch – our patented technology measures the fish, calculates the weight, and identifies the species with AI.

It takes just a few seconds to log a fish.

3D Mode

Use two fingers to tilt the map and enter 3D view. Perfect for planning mountain trips and seeing underwater terrain in great detail. 

AI Fish Recognition

Our app recognizes over 150 species, and more are added regularly. One of the most accurate systems in the world. A great tool for beginners and for logging catches.

Advanced Bathymetric Maps

We build our own depth maps using both public data and satellite scanning. These maps are designed for sport anglers and are available in lakes and some coastal areas.

We’ve created tens of thousands of custom maps – something no one else offers.

Protected Areas

Our maps show important zones like fish sanctuaries and no-fishing areas, helping you fish responsibly and legally.

Everything in our maps is made for anglers. Shipwrecks, seaweed, sediments, waypoints, and more. Use follow mode so the map moves with you – ideal for boat fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find all the information you need to enjoy outdoor adventures in nature.
This guide will help you navigate your next fishing trip.

No. Fishbuddy is a completely new app built from the ground up with new technology. It offers more species, more advanced maps, AI-based tools, AR-powered measurement, and a user-driven approach to data collection.

Fiskher and Fishbuddy are separate apps with different systems, and subscriptions cannot be transferred between them.

No, unfortunately this is not possible. Apple and Google do not allow purchases from one app to be transferred to another.
We recommend waiting until your Fiskher subscription expires, and then starting with Fishbuddy, using the 3-day free Premium trial.
 If you’re having technical issues with your Fiskher subscription, feel free to contact us at post@fishbuddy.app.

In most cases, the issue is resolved by:
  1. Deleting the app
  2. Reinstalling it
  3. Logging in with the same account
You do not need to pay again – both Apple and Google recognize past purchases. If you are charged twice, you can request a refund directly through their platforms.
We are happy to assist if you need help with this process.
Subscriptions must be cancelled directly through the platform where you purchased the app:
We do not have access to your subscription and cannot cancel it for you.

This usually happens when users believe they’ve cancelled their subscription within the app interface, but only cancellations made via the phone’s subscription settings (App Store or Google Play) are valid.
Check your device’s active subscriptions, and contact us if anything seems unclear.

Our AI-based recognition system is thoroughly tested and very accurate, but good results require a proper image. Follow these tips:
  1. Avoid direct sunlight – use shade if needed
  2. Use a neutral background – avoid grass, rocks, or busy patterns
  3. Take a photo of a real fish – not from a screen or magazine
If the correct species appears in the list, tap Confirm – this helps train the AI and improve results.

Fishbuddy uses augmented reality (AR) to automatically measure the length of your fish and estimate weight. Just follow the on-screen instructions.
 You’ll also find tutorial videos for iPhone and Android under the “Measurement Tool” section in the app and on our website.

Fishbuddy gives you access to over one million fishing spots across lakes, rivers, and coastal waters.
The locations are based on local expert knowledge, satellite and depth data, and AI analysis. You can search by species or water type to find areas that match your preferences.

The app follows your device’s default language settings. Fishbuddy is currently available in:
  • English
  • Norwegian
  • German
