RecFish is a free and user-friendly fishing app that helps anglers like you accurately identify and record your catch by simply taking a photo or selecting a saved photo. RecFish uses the latest in image-recognition software and machine-learning models to instantly identify each fish to species level and works even when you are offline.

RecFish can currently identify 100 species of fish with 95% accuracy. You can help improve RecFish even further by uploading your fish photos and letting us know whether RecFish accurately identified your catch. Anglers like you help us add more species and increase accuracy with the tap of a button!
