The comparison is funny. Who knows, FishFriender may help you find the love of your life who shares the same passion as you.

But if you are a swipe addict, there are other reasons you might like the new version of the app.

Swipe for mermaids and hundreds of fish species

You have now access to voting for top catches. Concretely, the last public catches posted on FishFriender are presented to you, and you can then vote for your favorite catches to help us select those which will reach the rank of top catches.

What is a top catch?

A top catch on FishFriender must meet two basic objectives:

  • Promote the passion for fishing
  • Promote respect for fish and nature

If the picture give you so much emotion that it make you want to go fishing, you are probably watching a top catche. Of course, a large fish will stand out more easily, but size should not be a selection criterion. A small, well-holded fish with a bright smile can give as much pleasure and desire to fish as a large fish. Conversely, a large, badly presented fish has no place in top catches. Likewise, catch and release is not a criterion for selecting top catches as long as the fish is treated with respect.

Keep in mind that, as fishers, we are ambassadors and must strive to convey a positive image of our passion.

By voting, you will also be able to report a catch that does not respect this image.

How to vote?

To vote, it's very simple, you just have to swipe:

  • on the left, "pass" to the next catch (the fisher won't know anything)
  • on the right, give a "clap" on the catch (the fisher will be notified that you gave a clap)
  • to the top, nominate the catch for the top catches selection! (the fisher will be notified that you gave a clap)

Please note that you are only entitled to 10 "top" votes and a limited number of catches to swipe per hour. But you can come back every hour to continue your selection.

Each catch will be viewed the same number of times by FishFriender users to get an average rating. Your votes will define the catches which will reach the coveted rank of "top FishFriender catch" according to our algorithm.

On the other hand, the system is designed so that you cannot see your own or your friends' catch. Thus, you will not be influenced.

When to vote

Concretely, you can consult the last public catches and vote at any time. If you've used up your quota, feel free to come back every hour. Start swiping and it will quickly become your morning ritual, bringing you good vibes for the rest of the day. A perfect way to dream of big fish during your breaks at the office or in remote!
