An editorial reading of the saved reviews

People like the idea, identify the species and get its regulations right away, and the fish info is good. It breaks down on the core job: identification often gets it wrong or does not see the fish in the photo at all, and for an offshore angler out of signal range it simply does not work. Plus everything hinges on a mandatory email login and identifications capped by credits.

What people use it for

An angler in unfamiliar waters with signal who needs regulations for the species they caught, if they can live with ID misses.

What reviews praise

Species identification with its regulations, good reference info on the identified fish, help in unfamiliar waters

What reviews complain about

Identification often wrong or fails to see the fish in the photo, does not work out of signal range, mandatory email login, identifications capped by credits, cannot add a fish to the log without a photo and an ID

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Gets the types of fish right, eventually. Even when you crop the photo super tight, it still takes a couple of tries to detect a fish.

The app sounds like a great idea, the problem for offshore fisherman out of cell range, when ID is needed for a fish the app cannot work. Wish it would!
