### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-08-01, version 2.7*

Used once to identify my new pet that I rescued. The common name and the scientific name of the fish it claimed to be did not match. Immediately deleted.

### 1/5 — Poor Scanner

*2026-04-30, version 2.6*

I have taken several pictures of fish that I am 100% sure of their species and name. They were African cichlids, specifically the sunshine peacock, the OB peacock, and the dragonblood peacock. Other than identifying them as cichlids, the app completely miss identified the type of cichlids referring to them as mbuna.
