Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
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.
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.
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.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your generous review! For Florida and the Caribbean, check out my app Easy Fish ID Caribbean. It’s similar to the Hawaii apps only no videos. (Videos might be added in the future.)
