So picture fish should get that now. Search up fish, and get facts and maybe even their favorite baits and when they are out. If that is only for premium make it so that everyone can use it. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Picture Fish *2026-02-17, version 2.6.16* I love it ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2026-01-27, version 2.6.16* Amazing fish identifier.

I had not done it since I was a teen and now I am 54. Did not know fish and this application helped me a lot to recognize the types of fish and know if the are edible of not, etc,…. Thank you for the app!! It is amazing!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-10-27, version 2.6.15* I was skeptical, but this app is impressively accurate. It identified a fish from mu photo gallery right away ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-10-25, version 2.6.15* Simple clean, and does exactly what it says very impressive. ### 5/5 — Best *2025-10-20, version 2.6.15* Its a really neat thing to use cuz I go fishing every day and if I don’t know a fish that I catch I can always see what it is right away ### 4/5 — Additional function *2025-10-02, version 2.6.15* App works reasonably well would be good if you could update the name of the fish when in gets it 90% right just not exactly right like AmberJack was correct but it was specifically a Blackbanded AmberJack ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very basic and inaccurate *2026-05-28, version 2.6.16* If it was completely free I could live with its basic feature (not plural) and inaccuracy ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-02-25, version 2.6.16* Worst identifying app ever. I was using to identify aquarium fish. Not one name it gave was right. ### 1/5 — Misidentified all African cichlids *2026-02-21, version 2.6.16* No good for African cichlids ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2026-02-21, version 2.6.16* Tried with fish I knew and got incorrect answers ### 1/5 — Can't Identify Freshwater Aquarium Fish *2025-10-31, version 2.6.16* I got this app to help me identify some fish in my aquarium. Unfortunately, this app thinks every fish I have are either guppies or neon tetras. WRONG! Completely useless. And I shouldn't have to email a photo to the devs for identification when I have this app! Skip this one if you want it for a similar purpose. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-09-20, version 2.6.15* Don’t bother downloading this app, is it good at identifying fish YES but soon as you cancel your subscription and delete the app they’ll continue to charge your card not just once but multiple times ! I want All the money back this app took from me, this app scams and i will Not remove my comment until they either refund me or STOP trying to charge my card thirty dollars ! ### 1/5 — Misidentification of Fish 99% *2025-07-03, version 2.6.15* This app is worthless, and misidentified many, many edible fish as poisonous or from other parts of the world. Data base is flawed. ### 1/5 — Inconsistent ID of Pacific fish *2025-06-22, version 2.6.15* It can ID yellowfin croaker correctly, but IDs spotfin croaker, caught in Southern California, as a “red drum” found in Atlantic waters. Useless for me. ### 1/5 — This is Not a free app! *2025-06-10, version 2.6.15* You get 7 days trial and only if you provide a payment source for day 8 and beyond. Don’t believe any other terms you may hear off. ### 1/5 — Mason’s angry review *2025-05-18, version 2.6.15* I hate this app. It got every single one of my fish incorrect fix it next time. It didn’t even get a standard Koi right it told me it was a goldfish or a Betta fish. This is dumb. I’m never gonna go back to this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-31, version 2.6.16* I really like it. It can be confusing around the first five days, but it gets really good. ### 5/5 — Picture Fish *2026-07-26, version 2.6.16* 👍🏾💝 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-16, version 2.6.16* Love the app not always accurate, but most of the time it is ### 5/5 — Good and helpful *2026-07-15, version 2.6.16* This is good to use if u find a fish u do not know or if it’s harmful ### 5/5 — What fish is that? *2026-06-22, version 2.6.16* While fishing the local lakes and rivers in the area, every now and than we will catch some and the question becomes, “ What kind of Fish is This”? This fish ID app is the go to thing, and I don’t think it has ever steered us wrong. Even when we are in the Caribbean or off the Pacific Shores of Costa Rica, the App always comes up with a matching picture and a complete run down as to Ichtyological information such as genus and species and natural ranges and distribution. This App is as Cool 😎 as a cucumber !! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-16, version 2.6.16* Amazing app works great ### 5/5 — I love fish *2026-05-17, version 2.6.16* I love seeing the types of fish there is. ### 5/5 — Wiggins Pass State Park Dock *2026-05-03, version 2.6.16* Great Cats back on the dock! ### 5/5 — Picture from photo album *2026-04-26, version 2.6.16* Nice job identifying it, sunfish, which I thought it was ### 5/5 — Great tool while fishing *2026-03-14, version 2.6.16* This app has helped me identify fish when I’m not sure.
