### 4/5 — Looks Fishy

*2025-03-30*

This is good for checking out fish in their natural habitat without any reference to fishing. Would benefit from a few more fish added.

### 1/5 — Only 23 species listed

*2023-06-07*

The UK has 42 species of native freshwater fish. This app only identifies 23., why isn’t salmon included? I get they live part of their life in the ocean, but they spawn in fresh water, live up to 6 years in our river systems and then come back to our rivers to mate and spawn again.  
   Next issue: There are no photos of the fry, again it makes identifying young/ baby fish impossible. I assumed this would have a photo option so you could take a photo, upload it and the app would identify it. Nope, you have questions to answer and then you get a % of what chance of fish species you ‘might’ have found. 
  It feels as if this app was designed and developed by A level or undergraduate students in a vaguely ‘meh’ way. It feels unfinished and the info is very basic. I’d be more forgiving if it was free, but this really isn’t worth £2.99.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money!

*2022-05-19*

Very basic app with very few pictures and information, would expect to download for free not £2.49

### 3/5 — Nice app…

*2021-06-04*

… no complaints but it could be better; I’d like to see photos and id tips as viewed from above and out of the water, the normal veepoint in most cases. Some species are missing, notably salmon and stickleback.

Seasonal information would be useful as well.

### 4/5 — Grass 49

*2018-05-28*

Nice App if a little unstable

### 3/5 — MORE PHOTOS!

*2018-04-29*

This would have five stars but the fact it has barley any photos to ID the fish it has to be three, this goes for all the other apps this developer makes. So annoying that they can’t put a few more photos or even respond to comments! What about letting us add our own photos?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-01-08*

I would recommend this app

### 5/5 — Looks Fishy

*2017-12-20, version 8.8*

This is good for checking out fish in their natural habitat without any reference to fishing.

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2017-05-28*

Is a really good app for identifying fish especially for beginners. I would like to see more photos of the fish from different angles to get a better detail of their colours and markings. The details are incredible. Would also like to see like a small description on best method to fish for that type of fish. I reckon that would really boost the apps popularity. But all round great job.

### 5/5 — Ideal

*2016-11-07*

Nothing better than seeing wildlife you can't remember it's name or know what it is? This app helps to identify 9 times out of 10.
