The adds are rediculous and to remove adds $2.99 per week, complete rip off. Don’t bother. I would give it zero stars if I could ### 1/5 — fish identification fish snap *2022-10-19, version 1.1* did not get one right out of 6, dissapointed ### 1/5 — Only *2022-10-17, version 1.1* Has not got the fish one time was a waste of money ### 1/5 — Don’t download unless you want to subscribe *2022-09-26, version 1.1* Shouldn’t be listed as a “free” app. You can identify one fish, watch 5 million ads, and then after all the ads told you have to pay to subscribe. Not worth the download ### 3/5 — Decent *2022-07-24, version 1.0.9* It’s better than a few others I tried to use. I knocked off a star because I pay for it and it still harasses me to rate the app after every picture. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-07-22, version 1.0.9* Im relatively new to fishing Southeastern NC. It helps me to quickly identify fish.⁣⁣⁣⁣　     ⁣⁣⁣⁣　 ‌ ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2022-07-22, version 1.0.9* his has greatly helped my son and I enjoy fishing and learning about pond life  ‎ ‭ ### 5/5 — So far so good *2022-07-22, version 1.0.9* ⁣⁣⁣⁣　It’s been 95% correct & I’ve had the app for 6 months or so   ‌  ‎ ‭ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — stupid *2024-09-23, version 1.1.5* you have to pay to do everything money grabber ### 1/5 — It’s ok you it can identify fish but your have to pay for everything *2024-07-12, version 1.1.5* My results 1 star this app 2 star 3star 4 star 5 star ### 1/5 — subscription *2024-05-26, version 1.1.5* you have to pay to do everything on the app, it’s stupid ### 1/5 — Ne pas payer pour cette app *2023-08-05* Ne fonctionne aucunement 👎 ### 1/5 — Poor *2023-05-04, version 1.1.2* Poor ability ### 1/5 — Only 1 for free, very expensive *2023-04-10, version 1.1.1* This app is ridiculous. You only get to do 1 and then it makes you pay, and it’s crazy expensive for what it is. ### 1/5 — S..it! Kill the ads *2023-01-15, version 1.1.1* Rubbish ### 1/5 — Beware! This is a scam. *2022-11-16, version 1.1.1* This is a scam! Pricing on the actual charge vs. description is more. It contains no fish information at all! Repeat! No fish information! For the price $49.95 per year or $4.95 per week. My expectation for this price would be a product that contained at least some information. This product literally contains zero information and limited “features” if I could call them that. SCAM. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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.

Took a pic and instantly got all the info I needed. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Best *2023-08-09* This app is the best for home aquariums.
