Great App Fantastic photo's A decent ID Guide with useful information linked to species

I have just downloaded this app and spent the last hour exploring it's features. I have found it very informative, with a clean layout, easy to navigate and great identification pictures. A must have for all anglers and fish enthusiasts. 😀👍👍👍

This new app is AMAZING! Wow. Beautiful images that are so useful for identification- I love that you have both in water images and images of caught fish. This app will help anglers, compliance officials, researchers, students, scuba divers and the interested fish loving public. South Africa has an incredible diversity of fishes and it is a pleasure to have a combination of my many field guides all on my cellphone. I love books and will continue to carry my box of field guides on trips but this compact form to support fish identification can go wherever my cellphone can go. Just brilliant! I also really appreciate the inclusion of regulations and detailed information on life history, age and growth, stock status, IUCN conservation status (redlist results) and even SASSI status. The inclusion of information on distribution, maps and protection of each species in relevant Marine Protected Areas made me really happy! A comprehensive and valuable resource for so many user groups. Thank you.
