Very practical
Good app, started off just using it to ID fish i had spotted when i was out snorkelling but now using it for fishing (new hobby). Bag limit calculator might be a helpful tool. "Add to catch bag" button for the fish as you catch them or something
I would like to see a log book on this. You can identify fish, add gps location, add picture with size, weight, bait used, time caught, other descriptions and then add it to the days catch. The app could then warn people about reaching a bag limit and how many of what other fish they can catch. It could be a great research tool and to drive participants you could offer prizes for people who contribute to the database securely kept by recfish who wouldn't give the fishing spot away to the public
Could be better. Hard to find certain fish. For instance, typing silver trevally yeilds no results. But it you type "trevally, silver" then it shows up. Had several problems like this before. They need to redo the list.
Frustrating, as it is not designed for tablets, only able to view some pages portait and it swings to landscape for other pages - useless. Also maps cannot be maximised to screen size and zoom is limited to their box size - frustrating!
