Updated September 2024. Covers all shallow-water reef fish commonly seen by snorkelers (and some rare ones too). Flip through screens like pages of a book, or find a fish quickly by color or shape. Up to 5 photos per fish—showing juveniles, males, females, color variations. Videos of each fish too. Save fish you've seen in the Log Book. Sharpen your fish ID skills with flashcard-style Quiz Mode. - For snorkelers and beginning scuba divers. - 205 species** / 600+ photos! - Identify fish by color, shape, family group, or name (common, scientific, Hawaiian). - Multiple photos of most fish. - Flashcard-style quiz. - Videos of all fish (requires internet). - Logbook: save fish, add notes, share Logbook (text only). - Links to Fishbase and Reef.org for each fish. - Works great on iPads too. ** Only half of Hawaii's 400+ shore fish live at snorkeling depths. For easier ID, faster download and smaller footprint, this app omits deeper-dwelling fish. For a more complete set of fish, see my app Scuba Fish Hawaii. Created by John Hoover, author of Hawaii's best-selling marine life ID books: The Ultimate Guide to Hawaiian Reef Fishes, and: Hawaii's Sea Creatures, a Guide to Hawaii's Marine Invertebrates.

Better than a book

I forget my fish ID Boot on this, my fourth, trip to Maui. I now prefer the app. It’s easier to find fish, and to be confident of your identification. I especially like the ability to filter out rarer fish. Well done!

Great App from an Expert

I have John Hoover’s books and I use the app most because of the convenience for travel and multiple photos/videos. A few things that would make it a 5-star app: ability to sync sightings between devices and ability to make multiple sightings (you can add notes, but it’d be better if you could enter date and place in a form as well).

Developer Response
Thanks for the suggestions. I agree it would be great to be able to sync the logbook with other devices. Unfortunately the developer says it would be time-consuming and expensive to implement—not cost-effective for a little app like this.

Love the app! It would be extra fun to be able to use the app to save/organize my own photos.

Developer Response
Thanks for the positive review, and that’s a fun idea! Sadly, it’s not likely to happen. I have to rely on high priced developers to make changes, and the cost for a major upgrade like that would be in the many thousands of dollars.

I love this app. It helped me identify a rare reef fish I saw in West Maui. And I love the logbook which allows me to nots which fish I’ve seen. Videos are helpful too. Highly recommended.
