### 5/5 — Awesome! but can you add more creatures to identify?

*2026-06-16*

I’ve been using this app for 2020 and nkw it’s 2026 I always needed more Creatures fish I’ve used it and shred it with a lot of people to download it it’s a really really awesome helpful app thanks please make it IF YOU CAN ( not forcing )

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for staying with the app for so long and for sharing it with other people. For me, this is the best sign that I’m building something useful.

And yes, I completely agree: the app needs more creatures to identify. I’m working on this right now, and the next major update will add new species to the database.

If there are any specific fish or marine creatures you’d especially like to see added, please send them through the feedback form or email me. I’ll try to prioritize them.

Thanks again for your support and kind words. It really means a lot 💙

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-12, version 1.14.8*

The first use this app i fall in love with it

### 1/5 — They want ur $$$

*2026-04-09*

Useless unless you pay for premium. This is not a “free” app

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Seabook includes a lot for free: the full dive logbook, collections, and about 50% of species.

Photo ID is paid because it has a real ongoing cost for me to provide. If you need access for study or research and can’t afford it, feel free to contact me.

### 2/5 — Paywall to view fish & missing fish

*2025-12-22*

I had high hopes for this because this type of app is needed, but I’m ultimately really disappointed. I saw a Rainbow Triggerfish today and so wanted to log it: the app says there is no species by that name. 

Then I searched for humuhumunukunukuapua’a, and nothing comes up and I finally see that triggerfish listed as “wedgefin” when the much more common name is Reef Triggerfish. But I can’t check to see if that’s an option because well, it’s behind a paywall (and sidenote: the Hawaiian names for fish should be included in search terms!). I’m not opposed to paying for apps, but when it’s set up this way (hiding information instead of say, additional features) it’s hard to justify a cost.

**Developer response:** Hi 👋 Thank you for taking the time to leave this review - I genuinely appreciate it (not everyone does). I’m really sorry you ended up disappointed when you just wanted to log what you saw

You’re right about the search and naming. I’ve added this to my backlog, and the next thing I’m planning to spend time on is expanding the languages the app supports, expanding amount of species - including adding more alternative/common fish names across different languages so search works the way divers expect.

I also hear you on the paywall point. I’m not ignoring that feedback - I’m reviewing how this is presented because I understand why it can feel like core information is being hidden.

Thanks again for the detail. If you run into another mismatch, the “Report content” button on a creature page goes straight to me and helps me fix these faster.

No pressure, but if you’d be willing to chat, I’d really value your input. You can reach me at stas@seabook.app - we can do email or a short call. I’ll share free Premium in return.

I always open to suggestions and feedback 💙🫶

### 5/5 — Non parlo nessuna delle lingue che ci sono

*2025-12-21, version 1.14.1*

L’ app è bellissima ma non c’è la traduzione in italiano se ci fosse sarebbe perfetto 
Io chiedo alla persona che ha creato questa app di farla anche in ITALIANO perché l’ app è bellissima

### 1/5 — scam

*2025-08-11*

no lifetime free

**Developer response:** You are the only one who was not able to get it 🤦 Next time follow the rules

### 5/5 — Amei super bom para prender

*2025-07-25, version 1.13.0*

### 3/5 — Can’t ID spotfin croaker

*2025-06-25*

UPDATE: Developer reached out and clarified that the app works best with live fish in natural conditions. The app did correctly ID a dead yellow tail croaker in the sand. It failed when trying to ID a spot fin croaker on my kitchen table. So maybe that wasn’t so natural. Future improvements will include location option. That should help a lot. No other fish ID app does that yet.

PREVIOUS:
It IDs a picture of a spot fin croaker caught in Southern California as a “red drum” found in the Atlantic. No good for me.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your report. I see other identifications were successful. Regarding Spotfin Croaker: the fish was photographed dead, out of water, and with folded fins — that makes it very hard for the model to identify correctly.

Recognition works best on live fish in natural conditions. In future updates, I’ll add the option to provide a location to help improve results in tricky cases like this.

UPDATE (Jan 30, 2026): I’ve improved the recognition quality. I’d appreciate it if you could try it again and share your feedback.

### 1/5 — Can’t ID spotfin croaker

*2025-06-22*

It IDs a picture of a sporfin croaker caught in Southern California as a “red drum” found in the Atlantic. No good for me.

### 5/5 — Totally recommended

*2025-05-28*

I absolutely love this app 😍 
It’s way more than just a fish id tool - it’s like a smart ocean guide with all the modern tech, even AI. Super helpful for fish identification, and perfect for people who are into the sea like I am

Would love to see more species added over time, and it’d be great to have a way to look back at my photo IDs

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot Jane for your feedback and time 💙. It’s very important for me as individual developer to hear such words. I’ll definitely add history for identification. Database will be increased as well
