Caught a fish and not sure what it is, or whether you can legally keep it? CatchScan tells you both in seconds. Snap a photo of your catch and get an instant species ID, an honest confidence rating, and the fishing regulations for the water you were actually fishing: size limits, bag limits, seasons, and a clear keeper-or-release verdict. No more guessing. No more risking a fine. KNOW BEFORE YOU KEEP CatchScan reads the location saved inside your photo, not wherever your phone happens to be right now. It works out which jurisdiction governs that water, including whether you were in state or federal waters, checked against NOAA boundary data. - Minimum size limits for your species and region - Bag limits so you stay within the law - Season status, open or closed - Clear keeper or release guidance - Works on photos from earlier trips, so you can identify last weekend's catch from your couch and still get the right rules INSTANT AI IDENTIFICATION Point the camera, tap, and know. OpenAI GPT reads body shape, fins, markings and coloration to name the species in seconds, across saltwater, freshwater, tropical and cold-water fish, adults and juveniles alike. - A confidence rating on every result, so a firm identification never looks the same as a tentative one - The field marks behind each call, so you can check the reasoning yourself - A "Don't confuse with" section naming look-alike species and the one visible feature that separates each - Catch difficulty, habitat, typical size and conservation status BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Every confirmed identification joins your Collection: a lifetime field guide built only from fish you personally landed. - Cover photo, scientific name and a running catch count for each species - Milestones unlock at 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 species - Records survive even after you clear old chats - Stored on your device and reviewable offline ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS (PREMIUM) Unlike simple ID apps, CatchScan chats.
