It should give you the common name based on your location ### 1/5 — Lame *2022-03-24, version 1.0* Every fish I tried to identify was wrong and can’t figure out how to cancel my free trial ### 1/5 — App does not work *2021-09-18, version 1.0* App does not work ### 1/5 — This app is garbage. *2021-08-15, version 1.0* Can’t identify any of the fish in my tank accurately ### 1/5 — 6 out 6 Fish wrong *2021-08-14, version 1.0* Was not even close out of 6 out of 6 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-07-13, version 2.4* Doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — Inaccurate trying to cancel *2024-02-23, version 2.1.6* Terrible ### 1/5 — Identify fish *2023-11-03, version 2.1.6* I provided a copy of my photo the result is does not close to the fish on the picture ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-05-12, version 1.0* Not good at all ### 1/5 — Useless App *2023-04-21, version 1.0* Do not download or purchase this app. It does not identify even the most basic fish. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2023-04-20, version 1.0* This app didn’t get one of my fish right ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-02-18, version 1.0* Consistently misidentified the most common fish ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-05-14, version 1.0* Can’t identify fish in the US ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awsome app *2026-03-23, version 2.6* used it at the lake today and it got everything right. ### 5/5 — Best app I’ve ever owned *2021-08-15, version 1.0* Easy to use. There was a particular reef fish I wanted clarification on and it immedially identified with a result. Highly recommend ‌‌   ‍‍ ### 5/5 — Great fish identifier *2021-08-02, version 1.0* Awesome app for fish identification! It’s so easy to identify the fish with simple ticks, and every fish I have taken a picture has been the correct fish. If you are looking at identifying fish or an aquarium fish identifier then this is the best app. Also, the ability to browse and search encyclopedias for different fish species is great! ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2023-04-08, version 1.0* Not accurate ### 2/5 — Horrible *2022-05-23, version 1.0* YOU CAN ONLY IDENTIFY A FISH 3/5 TIMES IF YOU WANT UNLIMITED IDENTIFICATION YOU HAVE TO PAY $43 AND ITS A GOOD APP BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY TO MUCH I DONT RECOMMEND THIS 😡 ### 2/5 — hmm. *2021-08-23, version 1.0* I can choose to submit the front, middle, or back of the long catfish picture. Not the whole thing. No matter which part of the fish I submit, it says something like European Perch. I'm not in Europe. And it's a catfish, not a perch. Mouth on the bottom, you know? Kinda long? Why do I want to read about a perch? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
