    FishId - The Field Guide to UK Coarse Fish

    by Isoperla

    FishId - The Field Guide to UK Coarse Fish is a very rudimentary app. This app is really only for those in the UK as the name describes. There is solid content in this app, but the interface and design leave a lot to be desired.

    Fish Encyclopedia

    by MauGoH

    Fish Encyclopedia is a great resource to learn about fish, their life, and other aspects of the aquatic world. The app is beautiful to use. We would like to see larger text used in this app. The content is great and this app provides a great complement to the essential app.

    Fish-Encyclopedia

    by Space-0

    Fish-Encyclopedia is a do not buy app. The content is lacking and the app itself is not very good. The iPad version is simply an upscaled version of the iPhone app. There is potential in this app, but until more content is added, don't bother.
