Angelschein & Fischlexikon

This app is a private learning tool. It is not an official offer from any government agency, does not represent any government agency, and does not replace the required preparatory course. All sources are linked at the end.

Prepare for the fishing license exam (also known as the fishing exam or angling exam): with the official questions from your state, a simulation based on your state's regulations, and a fish encyclopedia.

OFFICIAL QUESTIONS FROM EIGHT STATES
Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Schleswig-Holstein: over 5,600 questions, taken verbatim. Where a state does not publish answers, they are self-developed and marked as unofficial.

EXAM AS REAL
As many questions per subject area, as much time, and as rigorously graded as in your state. The answers are shuffled for each attempt.

LEARN UNTIL YOU KNOW IT THROUGHOUT
Practice subject areas with feedback, review over several days, error log, keyword search, and a daily schedule leading up to the exam date.

FISH ENCYCLOPEDIA WITH 68 SPECIES
Identify fish with characteristics, habitat, spawning season, and easily confused species, plus a picture quiz. For North Rhine-Westphalia: Picture plates of 49 species and rod building exercises A1 to A10 according to the official judging sheet.

TRY IT FOR FREE
Every tenth question, one simulation, and eight species in the encyclopedia are free. The full version is a one-time purchase, no subscription.

For the other eight states, the questions are not freely available; there you practice with the catalog of another state. No account, no ads, offline.
