Hawaii Sealife tells you all about fish, mammals, birds, reptiles, and more creatures found in and around the water. Just while scrolling through the app, I identified several new fish I saw while snorkeling today and learned cool facts about marine animals. Don’t immediately see your fish? No worries! Simply use the clue filters to generate a description of your fish and then watch as the app provides a list of possible fish matches. Along with ID features, this app provides you with facts, habitat, scientific names, and Hawaiian names. Also, with this app, you can make a personalized checklist where you can check off marine animals you see during your adventures at the beach (I’m halfway through my checklist). I only mentioned a few of the incredible features this app has to offer. So, download this app to explore Hawaii Sealife! ### 5/5 — Useful app *2024-05-15, version 1.3.0* Great way to identify species.
