### 5/5 — Best Fish ID App!

*2025-04-28, version 1.1.5*

I've tried a few, and this one is by far the easiest and most detailed. It even recognizes rare species!

### 5/5 — User-Friendly and Fun

### 5/5 — Perfect for Nature Walks

*2025-04-25, version 1.1.5*

I use this at the beach and on hikes near water. It’s fun to discover and learn about new fish species.

### 5/5 — Impressive Accuracy

*2025-04-24, version 1.1.5*

I was amazed at how fast and accurate the app is. Took a pic and instantly got all the info I needed. Highly recommend!

### 1/5 — More user friendly

*2024-12-31, version 1.1.5*

I downloaded this app to help ID fish. Like most apps I was hoping for a 7-14 day trial to check if it worked for us and its accuracy. Unfortunately it let me ID one fish which was so far off. The fish I uploaded was a Red Bass which is poisonous and not able to be kept, the app told me it was a snapper. I then thought, ok give it another go and I tried to upload a photo and it said I had to pay. So 1 free fish ID that was wrong.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-10-30, version 1.1.5*

Took one photo of a yellow fin bream and it told me it was a salmon. Then I tried to take an other but it was asking me to pay for a subscription after only taking one photo. I can not do anything in the app now without paying. Do not buy this app.
