Good app for Midwest fishing shows you who owns the land too
The lake depths is way off found a cove that was supposed to go from 4ft to 15 ft drop off the whole cove was 3 ft wasted time and gas uninstall
I have used a lot of mapping for many decades. I was hoping on X Fish would have the level of detail that could help you make decisions on where to go to zoom in on exact structure. They simply are not there yet. It will help with general information, but does not get you very detailed contours. Easy to use however. Interaction is great. Just need better maps.
Now with this app, and the subscription that is very cheap, I can go to my favorite spots and know which areas, and sometimes what lures to throw for whatever species. I do wish that they added more lure recommendations though. But great app!
I live in Northern MN so that is where I primarily fish. You are missing over half of the lakes that Navionics has maps for but you do not. Why would I pay $35/ year for maps for only most of the big lakes. I expect more from OnX. Not less. This is app is disappointing until you have all of the maps. The DNR has them available. I won’t use this anymore until they cover all the lakes.
Super easy to get the hang of with more information than competitors. Swapping my 200+ catches and spots on Fishbrain was worth it.
Awesome app! If you fish it’s a must have.
I love it but I would want them to add Nebraska and the lake hybrid and topo maps need to be improved and added on more public lakes
EDIT: Not only is everything I said still true but I noticed the app said this..”Unfortunately, it's not possible to provide a release date for when a given state will be available—check out the onX Fish website periodically and subscribe to our mailing list and socials to stay updated! Dan • April 18, 2025”. It’s been this way since 2025, so you can pretty much expect nothing new for well over a year, meaning probably longer. I initially signed up because my ford app told me I had a year free, unfortunately I didn’t notice that the app only supported a minuscule scale of the country (ESPECIALLY compared to other apps that do the same), but it was too late by the time I realized. Even if it wasn’t for free, the price and the incredible lack of support for some of the most fished places in the county “California, Oregon, Washington” is downright disrespectful almost.
I thought I would get better contour detail with this map and I was a little disappointed or I wasn’t able to find out how to enhance the contour lines on the map. Either way I have other maps that show contour lines of 1 foot.
