Great App!

Love the App! Great pics and description of the commonly seen reef fish. Would be great if they expanded to include a section on sharks and rays and also nudibranchs. I’d gladly pay more! Keep up the great work guys.

Will not open

Looks like an interesting app for this that would like to identify fish that they see while snorkeling. Despite multiple attempts, only the title page opens and then it crashes.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear this and as you may know, we have had many updated versions since this post. Just wanted to ask if you have tested any of the later versions?

Great app

Originally I gave this app a bad review because the app would crash even before opening, but clearly the developer wanted to deliver a good product and worked very hard to do so. It is a great selection of the most common reef fishes and it is worth every penny.
