Stopped working

App wonโ€™t open any more just a blank screen

Ok ideaโ€ฆ..

The idea is good, but there are no images at all on the app, the pervious QLD fishing app was allot better, at least that had images and worked when there is no signal

Internet

Not a bad app, but useless without internet coverage.

Search attributes unrealistic

Hello

The app is a good idea but for the fisherman who needs to look for a species to see if they can keep after catch it is pretty user unfriendly.

Remember the context of use. Just caught a fish and have not long to search so can release if needed (and most searching is mostly offline if out at sea).

Should be able to search via attributes eg stripes = yes, main colour = red, fins = yellow , spots = yes etc then show a list of fish ( photos -not names ) that match those attributes.

At the moment you must know the name of the fish to search for it which is not very useful as itโ€™s the identity that you are seeking

Also, the photos need to be freshly caught photos , not photos underwater because the colours will be much different after catch

Thanks

Fish identification

Absolutely useless not even close. Tested it knowing I had an emperor app called it a snapper

Good app

Itโ€™s a good app but wish it had more photos and a map showing where the sandbanks are๐Ÿ˜‚

Needs more

Very poor at best. Lack of information on size, limits. Rules and regulations are pretty hazy as well. Names are pretty bad to look up, finger mark for example also sand bass. Really bad photos of fish species and few of. A fisheries officer told me to get this app for reliable information, just leaves me with questions....

Great initiative but Can I Fish here unreliable

When trying to use can I fish here when on the water in Moreton Bay when I tap the location icon it has never shown my position accurately on the map, generally out by kilometres. For example when easy of St Helena the map showed me near the Wynnum foreshore. I have tried it a few times across multiple days and hasnโ€™t shown my location on water accurately yet. Strange ly while on land my location is more accurate

Missing a lot of photos is species

Great app but is missing a lot of photos of most fish species making some identifications difficult. Also the photo Iโ€™d is a good idea but needs work as it works only with common caught fish or times out.
