Very broad information on fishing for any beginners. Informations on the species of fish are narrow and vague. Can get more informations on other sites, such as, wiki. One good information it provides are for beginners is where to cast the bait. For example, when fishing in a river, cast down stream to where the fish are. Sadly, that's about it. This app does not provide information about the different type of rig to set up for different types of fish or how to tie a basic knot. All in all, for something that claims to be an app for freshwater fishing for beginners sure isn't very helpful for a beginner like myself. I personally don't think it's worth my .99 cents.
