Playing and progress
Cast a net at sea, bring the catch back to your tray, and merge matching catches. Complete orders to earn coins and upgrade your equipment. While aiming, drag back onto the boat and release to cancel a cast.
Game progress stays on your device. There is no account login or account-based cloud sync. Avoid deleting or reinstalling the app to fix a problem before contacting support, as doing so may lose progress and consumable balances.
Diamonds and fishing nets
The game can be played without a purchase. The shop offers optional Apple in-app purchases of 600 or 1200 diamonds. Prices are shown in your local currency before Apple's confirmation. Diamonds can buy nets in the shop: a single net or daily net packs. Purchased resources have no cash value and cannot be cashed out.
If a purchase is pending, wait for Apple's approval. If you were charged but diamonds did not arrive, reopen the app with an internet connection so unfinished verified deliveries can recover, then contact us if needed. Include the product, approximate purchase time and Apple's receipt or transaction reference, with unrelated personal details removed. Do not purchase again just to troubleshoot. Consumable purchases do not provide an unlimited restore after their currency has been spent.
To request a refund, use Apple's purchase support.
Optional rewarded ads
In versions with rewarded ads, choose Watch ad in the shop to earn 10 nets, up to 5 rewards per local calendar day on this installation. The reward is delivered after the ad provider confirms completion. Opening an ad or closing it early does not by itself earn a reward. Ad rewards may take your balance above the natural recovery cap; nets have no cash value.
If no ad is available, wait and try again with an internet connection. An unavailable or unfinished ad does not use a reward claim. If an earned reward is waiting to save, reopen the game to retry delivery without watching again. Keep the app installed while troubleshooting.
Nets, space and settings
Nets replenish over time up to their natural cap. You can also buy nets using diamonds or earn them from optional rewarded ads when available. If the tray is full, merge catches or complete orders to make room.
Open Settings using the gear button to change sound, vibration or language. To recover from a freeze, close and reopen the app and check for an update. If it happens again, tell us the steps that led to it.
Privacy and tracking
You can decline Apple's tracking request without blocking gameplay or purchases. Read the Fishing Dude privacy policy for the data involved and your choices.
