## Most critical reviews (6 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great for fisherman but not for divers

*2025-08-20, version 1.2.1*

Unfortunately there are no reef fish on the app. So you wont be able to use this app for fish id after a dive. Only fish that you can catch on hook and line are here. Little disappointed as you see the adverts for this app all over the aquarium in Durban but  it doesn’t show all fish. Keeping the app in the hopes that it will expand at some point

### 1/5 — More for anglers than anyone

*2020-12-16, version 1.0*

The app is touted as the perfect guide for anglers, divers and marine enthusiasts which at the time of writing is a big oversell. Limited app images meant I took a plunge on the purchase and not too happy I did. The species of fish listed are predominantly fish caught for sport fishing. As a diver, I don’t love seeing photos of helpless fish peers over by grinning fishers on every single species page. Categories are still very incomplete (eels for example) and smaller common fish likely to be encountered on dives are missing entirely. This is probably a great app for anglers - but cannot recommend it for any other form of marine enthusiast. Will keep it and hope the app evolves into more.

### 2/5 — Too basic

*2022-04-18, version 1.1*

Very basic app and not broad enough. I hope that the developer carries on adding fish to this. The purchase price is out of sync with level of content.

### 5/5 — Must have for any ocean lover

*2020-10-23, version 1.0*

This really is an excellent and must have app for any angler, diver or ocean lover. Amazing detail and information. Very useful for ID purposes, for making conscious decisions of the fish you decide to keep, and for good and valuable knowledge on each of the species contained in the app. Will give the app 6/5 if you can add chokka to the list!

### 5/5 — André

*2020-09-09, version 1.0*

Great, easy to use resource!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2020-09-08, version 1.0*

What a fantastic tool for anglers and snorkelers  alike! Love the built in length / weight calculator and the catch limits - all in one place! A huge body of work ! Bravo
