Pretty bad
     
by Rbaruffi · August 28, 2019

How am i supposed to figure out what seafood to eat or not eat without thumbing through and digging into each individual fish. There’s no consolidation of 1) just don’t eat these 5 fish if you’re on east coast or 2) just stick to these 10 options in the gulf. Too complicated. Consumers need simplicity to take any actions.

Outdated

Was a great app!, Although many times hard to tell where the fish I was buying came from, it still helped thin out sustainably caught fish. Now it does not work with modern phones so this app really needs an upgrade.

I don’t even know

Had to download this for an assignment why

Excellent info

This is a fabulous app. People who complain that supermarkets don’t label their seafood this way are missing the point. Buy better seafood from better store where you can ask questions. Yes, it’s more expensive, so buy less. And use this excellent app as a guide so you know what to ask. If we don’t make better choices, our grandchildren won’t have choices to make at all.

Needs to be updated

Has the Monterey Bay Aquarium shut its doors?
     
by Iratherfly · July 12, 2019

Has the Monterey Bay Aquarium shut its doors?The app sure looks like it, with no maintenance to their app for years. Buggy to oblivion. Crashes constantly, endless looping waiting graphics, search brings no results, then similar search brings results and the next time it doesn’t again. Giving up and using A-Z list fails to load if. The only reliable thing here is the overly self-important opening animation. This is a great idea which so many of us would LOVE to use and share. It should be the Aquarium’s best global publicity and brand enhancement and a real force in spreading their mission ...but in this derelict state it seems that they are out of money or don’t really care. What a shame!

Excellent app, the negative reviews here are ridiculous

This app does exactly what the responsible ecologically minded people who use it need, it helps us make responsible choices about our seafood choices. The negative reviews here arent reviewing this app, theyre complaining about the problems that prevent them from eating responsibly.

Great idea, terrible implementation
     
by mindaika · July 2, 2019

When you open the app, there is an 10-second animation that you can’t skip. This is tremendously annoying. <br/><br/>Sometimes the app just stops working. Earlier today, searching for “tuna” retrieved nothing. Now it works.
