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.
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!
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.
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.
Use two fingers to tilt the map and enter 3D view. Perfect for planning mountain trips and seeing underwater terrain in great detail.
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.
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.
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.
Search thousands of lakes, rivers, and destinations. Use filters to find spots by popularity, best catches, or distance. Search for all species – or target just one.
Connect with others through open or private fishing groups.
Join or create a group and share your passion for fishing.
Our feed is clean and easy to use. Share your catches and moments. Discover other anglers and view their profiles.
Our logging system is one of the fastest and easiest out there.
Log your catch in seconds and keep track of when and where you caught it. Easily share to feed or groups.
Every fish you register earns XP points based on length and species. Gain new badges as you level up – 20 levels to explore!
Simply take a photo of your catch within the app. Our patented technology uses AR and AI to identify the fish species, estimate its length and weight and provide loads of other relevant data. This is the game changer on so many levels.
Fishbuddy is designed for anyone interested in fishing, regardless of skill or experience. It offers pro-level features that are easy to navigate, with all the information you need to plan and enjoy your next fishing trip.
Simply take a photo of the fish and Fishbuddy will do the rest. We use a combination of artificial intelligence technologies for fish recognition, augmented reality for measuring length, weight, location, weather data and more.
Use Fishbuddy to upload, share, post, like and discuss fishing experiences with friends and colleagues. Take part in competitions and keep track of your friends´ catches.
Thanks to easy and immediate volunteer based recording of catches, simply by taking a photo of your catch, we contribute to protecting the environment and sustainable development goals.
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.
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.
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.
