Pity that there is no magnifying glass to search for name.

How do we populate a log book (top right corner of Home Screen) ?

Response from developer

On the detail screen for each fish there is an icon at top right that will add that fish to the log book. Sorry about no search box, but you can use the name index to easily find a fish by either its common or scientific name. No typing necessary.

Fantastic!

An excellent app - just what I’ve been looking for!

Useful for recreational divers

I never post reviews but I thought this application deserves a review. I’ll try to update this review as I further discover the application.
For a reasonable price, this application can help you identify the fish you see on your regular dives in Oman or even in the Indo-Pacific region to some extent. The application is properly organized. It has sub categories that will help you find the fish you saw during your dive based on color, shape, and how common they are. Pictures are also clear.
Overall I recommend this application to divers and snorkels who are curious to know what species of fish they encounter during their dives.
