5/5Makes it fun and easy to ID reef fish
We’ve really enjoyed using this app during a weeklong trip to Maui. The pictures and videos are excellent. Organization is great. It’s fun to see the Hawaiian names for all the fish. And it’s nice to be able to log and export or share our notes for the fish we see. It includes some notes on habitat, diet, behavior, and identification for each fish. For example, I was trying to ID a particular Goatfish that didn’t quite match the pictures and names. Then I noticed in the description for the Squarespot Goatfish that the dark spot on its side sometimes disappears.

5/5Great app for snorkeling and scuba
If you are planning to snorkel or scuba anywhere in Hawai’i, this is an awesome app to have. The app is very comprehensive, intuitive, and easy to use. The photos and videos are great for identifying each species. Identification is made easier by filtering based on color, shape, name, or common species. The descriptions provide just the right amount of detail as well as some interesting tidbits about behavior and ecology for each species. Everyone wants to know what they are seeing under water and having this app doubled the fun of our snorkeling trips!

5/5Easy To Immerse in Local Names and Identification
As a dive pro, this app makes it really easy for me to give my divers a taste of Hawaiian style. Absolutely love how easy it is to find the less easy to identify aquatic life, then tie that in to the local culture. I continue to recommend it to my dive buddies, and it makes for a really good time over drinks comparing what we saw post-dive.

5/5When ya gotta know that fish!
Saw a fish snorkeling in Maui I could not for the life of me find anywhere to identify, and I’ve got some serious search engine mojo. Was driving me nuts, so bought this app and found it quickly. Love that I can snorkel and come back to review what I’ve seen.

5/5I love this app
I'm taking a reef ID class here in Hawaii where I live, swim and snorkel; classification of species and family and the clear photos are better than the syllabus in the class. And the instructor actually recommends this app too. Mahalo nui loa for this great tool!
