Updated March 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.

perfect
exactly the app i was looking for. commonality rankings super helpful for novices orienting themselves. logbook feature fun for keeping track of species seen
Wonderful app!
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.
Super Cool!
I love this app. It’s got it all. Great job designing it. Great pictures. Good info. I love the videos. I like that you include the Local names. Please consider doing one for Caribbean fishes too.
Good app
Very informative
Must Have! 🐠
A great go to app for every snorkeler! Very easy to maneuver. Great pics and very informative!
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).
Needs a way to log where & when you saw each fish.
That's all.
