Help & FAQ

Quick answers to the questions we get asked most. Still stuck? Send us a message.

Fishing location

How do I change the location I see fishing times for?
  1. Log in (optional, it lets us remember your places).
  2. Open the home page and tap Change next to the location name.
  3. Search for a town or city, tap Use my current location or Choose on a map.
  4. Your choice is saved straight away and the fishing times update.

Places you used before are in the Saved locations list in the same window.

How do I add or remove a saved location?

Choosing a place from the map or search while logged in lets you confirm its name and save it. To remove one, tap Change, then Manage next to Saved locations, and press Remove.

"Use my current location" shows the wrong place or does not work

Your browser decides whether we may see where you are. If you see a warning that location access is off, tap How to turn it on and follow the steps for your browser. Otherwise just search for the town or pick it on the map.

Units & theme

How do I change units (feet or metres), the time format or switch to dark mode?
  1. Open Units & theme: tap the gear button next to the date on the home page, or Units & theme under the solunar clock on any fishing times page.
  2. Choose Imperial (ft, °F) or Metric (m, °C), 12 hour or 24 hour times, and a Light or Dark theme.
  3. Tap Save.

Units and time format are remembered in this browser. Log in to keep them on all your devices. The theme is set for each device.

Email reminders

How do I change the location for my email reminders?

The location for your emails is set separately from the location you are looking at on the home page.

  1. Log in first.
  2. On the home page tap your name at the top and choose Email reminders. (Or tap Settings in the small email line under the location name.)
  3. Under Location pick one of your saved places, or search for a new one.
  4. Tap Save.

Got an email for the wrong place? Use the Wrong location? Change it here button at the bottom of that email. It opens the same window.

How do I turn off email reminders?
  • Open Email reminders (from your name at the top of the home page), switch the top switch off and tap Save.
  • Or tap unsubscribe at the bottom of any reminder email. You will be asked to type your email address to confirm.
Why am I not getting reminders, or only on some days?

We only email you when the day matches your settings, so a quiet week is normal:

  • Rating: by default you are only emailed for Good and Best days. Open Email reminders and choose Fair or Poor as well to get more emails.
  • Times of day: if you chose specific times, the fishing times must fall in one of them. Any time is the most relaxed setting.
  • One email a day, sent in the morning (about 7 to 9 am) at your reminder location.
  • How early: you can choose how many days ahead we look.
  • Check your spam or junk folder and make sure reminders are switched on and your profile email address is correct.

Premium & PayPal

What do I get with Premium?

Unlimited fishing calendars, printable PDF calendars and no advertising, for $12 USD a year. It also supports a small family-run site. See Premium.

How do I cancel my PayPal subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by PayPal, so the cancellation is done in your PayPal account:

  1. Log in to paypal.com with the PayPal account you paid with.
  2. Tap the Settings (gear) icon, then Payments, then Manage automatic payments.
  3. Choose Fishingreminder and tap Cancel automatic payments, then confirm.

Once logged in, your subscription page has a Cancel Subscription button that takes you to PayPal.

I cancelled. Do I keep Premium?

Yes. You keep Premium until the end of the year you already paid for, and it will not renew. The date is on your subscription page. After that your account goes back to free.

I cannot find the subscription in PayPal
  • You may have paid with a different PayPal account or email address than the one you use here. Search your inbox for a PayPal receipt mentioning Fishingreminder to find which one.
  • Our subscription page shows the PayPal email we have on file.
  • Still stuck? Contact us with that email and we will cancel it for you.
Can I get a refund?

If you are not happy for any reason, contact us and we will refund your payment with no questions asked.

How do I delete my account?

You can request it on the delete account page. If you have a PayPal subscription, cancel that first.
