Does Bite need an iPhone?

No. Bite is a standalone Apple Watch app. There is no companion iPhone app to install, and nothing to set up on the phone.

Does Bite need an internet connection?

No. The game runs entirely on the watch. Every fish, price and trip is decided on the device, so it works in aeroplane mode, on the water, and anywhere else with no signal.

The one thing that uses a connection is optional: if you agreed to share anonymous usage data, the app sends a small batch a few times a day so the game can be improved. It never waits for that, and refusing it changes nothing about how the game plays. You can turn it off at any time in Settings.

How do I fish?

Pick a spot on the map and pay the fare to travel there. On the water, turn the crown to aim and tap to choose the spot, then turn the crown to load the cast and tap to throw. When the float dips, tap or give the crown a quick turn to set the hook, then keep the line tension in the safe band with the crown until the fish is landed. The watch taps you at every stage, so you can play with the screen dimmed.

Why did my line break?

Tension went too high for too long. Ease off the crown when the fish runs and pull when it tires. Heavier fish need stronger line — the shop sells it.

Where do fishcoins come from?

You are paid for every fish you land, by weight and species. Spend them on rods, line, hooks and bait, and on travel to the better spots. Fishcoins are part of the game only: they cannot be bought with real money and have no value outside the app.

Can I lose my progress?

Progress is saved on the watch automatically. It is erased if you delete the app, or if you use Reset progress in Settings, which asks for confirmation first. There is no cloud backup: your save lives on your watch and nowhere else, so there is no copy anywhere for us to restore from.

Are there ads, purchases or subscriptions?

None. Bite is a one-time purchase, with no advertising, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions — you pay once and that is the end of it. The only thing the game ever sends anywhere is the anonymous usage data described in the Privacy Policy, and only if you agree to it when the game asks.

How do I turn the sound off?

Settings has a Sound toggle, and the same switch is on the fishing screen as a speaker button. Haptics stay on, so the game is still fully playable in silence.

I found a bug, or I have an idea

Settings has an Email feedback button that opens a message with your version already filled in. Or write to bite@olxstr.cc directly.
