Know your catch. Fish within the rules. HookID helps Florida and Tennessee anglers identify a fish from a photo and instantly see the regulations that apply — size limits, bag limits, and open seasons — so you can decide whether to keep it or let it go, right there on the water. IDENTIFY BY PHOTO • Snap or choose a photo and get the most likely species, with a confidence indicator and close alternatives. • Powered by computer-vision recognition (Fishial.AI). Identification is an estimate, not a legal determination — always confirm before you keep a fish. • Your first identification is free. After that, unlock each one by watching a short video — it only starts when you tap it, and closing it early unlocks nothing and simply offers you the choice again — or subscribe to HookID Pro for unlimited identifications with nothing to watch. FLORIDA & TENNESSEE REGULATIONS AT A GLANCE • Regulations cover Florida (FWC) and Tennessee (TWRA). HookID detects your state from your location. View or change it on the About screen (tap the ⓘ button). • See current Florida FWC size and bag limits and seasonal closures for the identified species. • In Tennessee, see TWRA statewide size, bag, and season rules for freshwater species. Alligator gar and shovelnose sturgeon show a "NO HARVEST — release immediately (TWRA)" banner. Where TWRA does not list a species separately, HookID says so and points you to TWRA rather than guessing. • Clear "PROTECTED — DO NOT HARVEST" warnings for protected and federally managed species, now saying who protects the fish: the state, federal law, or both. • Regulation data is for reference only; verify current rules at myfwc.com (Florida) and tn.gov/twra (Tennessee). EXPLORE & LEARN • Browse species with photos, habitat, and identifying features. The Explore gallery and species counts follow your state. • See what's biting near you based on your location. HOOKID PRO (optional subscription) • Unlimited fish identifications — no video to watch, ever. • Catch journal: log every fish with species, size, weight, location, bait, and photos. Your journal stays private on your device. • Marine weather: tides, wind, boating conditions, and solunar bite windows. • Weather from coastal stations nationwide, including the Great Lakes. Where no coastal station is close, water temperature can come from a nearby USGS river gauge. That data is provisional. • Removes every ad from the app. PRIVACY FIRST • No account required, and nothing of yours is ever sold. • Your catch journal never leaves your device, and your photos and GPS location are never given to advertisers. • The free version shows two kinds of Google AdMob ads: a small banner, and a rewarded video that unlocks an identification and only plays when you tap to watch it. Going Pro removes both — and all ad-related data collection. • Delete everything anytime: tap the ⓘ button on the Identify screen to open About HookID, then Manage Your Data. Or use hookid.app/delete-account. Florida and Tennessee are covered today, with more states coming. HookID is an informational tool. Fishing regulations change frequently and you are responsible for verifying current rules with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (myfwc.com) or the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (tn.gov/twra), as applicable, before retaining any fish. — HookID Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Price and billing period are shown in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; it renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://hookid.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://hookid.app/privacy.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HookID at 100% against U.S. Soccer's 27%. HookID also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). U.S. Soccer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HookID holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: U.S. Soccer has 311 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of U.S. Soccer's written reviews are positive against 100% of HookID's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

U.S. Soccer ships an update every 2 weeks, HookID every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
