Awesome! but can you add more creatures to identify?
Response from developer
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 💙
Awesome
They want ur $$$
Response from developer
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.
Paywall to view fish & missing fish
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.

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 💙🫶
Non parlo nessuna delle lingue che ci sono
Io chiedo alla persona che ha creato questa app di farla anche in ITALIANO perché l’ app è bellissima
scam

Amei super bom para prender
Can’t ID spotfin croaker
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.
Response from developer
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.
Can’t ID spotfin croaker
Totally recommended
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
Response from developer
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
Great app
Great app
Awesome, but lacks multi language suppport
Just what I was looking for
Features i would love to see in the future:
1. a setting where you can add creature name in another language than set in app preferences.
To be more precise: I have set the app to German. But when diving internationally, it would be great to see the English (or another language you can specify) creature name next to German one, so when searching something with your international dive buddy, it’s more comfortable.
2. an in app link to google picture search for the specific creature, so it’s very easy, quick and comfortable to look for more pictures to compare with what you saw underwater
3. an in app link to Wikipedia (if exists)
Tubarões
A wonderful app.
Response from developer
Thanks a lot for your review and understanding! And yes, I definitely want to provide access to the all creatures for free for everyone. And I’ll do it in the nearest future. Thanks for your support ❤️
Tudo pago
Need to pay to even see names of most species
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. In the future Seabook will be absolutely free for the individuals. For now 50% of all species available for free.
Boring, but fun
Solid App
Response from developer
Thank you very much for your review. In the future, I plan to make information about all creatures available for free. For now, consider a subscription as a donation rather than a payment to help cover development and marketing costs. And yes, more features and creatures will be added soon. Stay tuned 😊
