An editorial reading of the saved reviews
It half-solves the job: it does okay on simple lake and saltwater fish, but on aquarium fish, especially cichlids, it consistently misses, calling everything a guppy or neon. Beyond identification it offers almost nothing: no species search like its siblings Picture Insect and Picture Mushroom, and anything interesting is locked behind a subscription. Essentially a field guide with no guide.

3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
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
The very first day I took 21 pictures of my aquarium fish and it got just the simplest of fish correct it miss identified 18 of the 21 photos... likes to call just about everything either an angelfish, a guppy or a goldfish
I was given three options. How am I supposed to know what the actual right one is?
