This is a great service for those of us who want to eat responsibly sourced seafood                     Very helpful information ScottFlodin
Love the level of information                     Very informative Goodmigrations
This app fails to point me in any meaningful direction Educational and interesting BUT useless working info This app definitely presents the subject of seafood from the perspective of the ecosystem i e the fish and the environment And the app is pleasing to use BUT it would also be nice to have ratings which took into account human nutritional value and levels of toxic chemicals There ARE health notes BUT they clearly do NOT impact the ratings There are some VERY TOXIC fish in the Best Choice category Or is there another app for that     Totally Disappointed Anal.Andy
Crashing freezing Come on guys seriously Fix this app Get with the program TERRIBLE     Are you kidding me Jeremus1979
When I 3d touch the app it should have a search pop up not share I mean who would need to share it all the time when 3d pressing Also the app is non responsive when I type in to search for something Please fix     When I 3d touch the app it should have a search pop up not share Glee217
App constantly closes out or freezes when looking up fish now when I click on a z the list doesn t even appear this app needs updating bad fix the bugs out of it         Not reliable AFeuquay
The last update must have broken the app as there isn t any fish data to be found anywhere in the app After a removal and reinstall everything works just fine now                     Great app JoBob McFly
Search was not working on Version 5 1 so I uninstalled and installed vers 5 3 Seach is working again It is usually difficult to determine the location source of the seafood which is needed to choose which advisory the app supplies         Somewhat useful but buggy Busy&Practicle
Unreliable All searches return Oops something fishy going on here     Unreliable mtflis
I agree with others who say this app is not for us laypeople I just wanna know what brand of canned tuna to buy at the store but the app is useless unless you know exactly where and how they were caught which they don t put on the labels I wish they would expand the information provided so that more people could use it for more decisions If that means I d have to pay for the app that s okay I wouldn t mind forking over a few bucks for it         Good idea but needs more info cmills1095
Same with title please fix it and upgrade it     Need upgrade can t open and crash Car-net user
Long intro video on startup that makes the app inconvenient Constant crashes make it unusable Had to delete it     Great idea horrible app californiatrav
Fix     Fix app it s crashing 1234asdfg6789
If I type salmon into the search bar lake trout comes up as the only option because it is sometimes called salmon trout If I want salmon for dinner I would like to see the different types of salmon and at a glance be able to determine which species is most sustainable or if I should consider another type of fish I then added the word sockeye to help guide the app so my search term was salmon sockeye and a bunch of non fish species showed up in the results This makes this app nearly unusable I do not have time or patience to type in sockeye salmon coho salmon and other types of salmon then remember the results for each If the app more closely resembled the paper version of the Seafood Watch it would be much easier to use a list of good not good and bad choices Thanks for considering our feedback to improve the app     Non functional search function makes it unusable kzarn
Love your mission but not your app On my iPhone the guides were too small to read The guides were not expandable to make them easier to read as well         App needs work Creative Tech
This looks like an idea for a future App Or an info commercial for their website Even though I was on their app it kept asking me to download the App Waste of space     You go round in circles looking for info JeffKirby
Whenever I go to the a z part of the app it always freezes no matter what species I look up     It needs an update Childish_G
The app regularly freezes and closes while simply going through the A Z search I also appreciate the level of specificity but it s hard for a layman to decipher between different types of the same animal This makes it really difficult to use while on the go or meal planning It would be helpful if for each color there was an option for most common to be able to tell what variety of a specific animal restaurants or stores are PROBABLY selling and therefore would be able to make the best informed choice Some lists of best or avoid varieties are long and occasionally differ only in harvesting type rather than only the location from which the seafood is coming I m used to the simple and easy to read tri fold cards the aquarium has on location so this was just way too overwhelming         Buggy and overwhelming to use misswilsondc
I m really disappointed as this my own org s app I went to use the other night just to check on the status of sustainable fish offerings at Trader Joe s and sadly the app could not even search ahi or tuna and crashed several times for no apparent reason The UI is very confusing when you select a fish that pops up in the search you can see the rating but then there is no rating available on the details of that fish The intro video is way too long and launches every time the app launches this is excessive and turns off most users     App is constantly crashing search doesn t work Wyattp11
This is a great concept and I was really hopeful that this app would be useful but it crashes every time I try to search a z     Not Useful Aynway
Needs to be updated Some of the information is old and now the app just crashes when you attempt to search     Seafood Watch Burned out griller
I d love to give this app more than one star but since it crashes every time I tap on a fish to read about it well you get the point     Garbage Dalwan Daddy
It is a confusing app that doesn t show you what to do and only has some places near you         Confusing CeRaWi
The girl who told me to download this was supa dupa spectacles noice                     Dope luv da app Pirate man 2203
To have this resource in my pocket makes me feel better in restaurant grocery situations Don t feel like a nag and an irritant anymore I can look it up myself when staff have zero clue                     Thank you tcmi
Its kinda really sucky You have to always let them track your location not just while using the app Like what is that Its like a downgrade from the worst apps     Don t Download Whoisthatkid
I used to get the paper seafood watch guides from the MBA as a kid I m so glad those have evolved into such an incredible information rich app                     Rich informative well designed dwightshep
Currently just lists PCC and Whole Foods     Needs ability to add more locations rfranc0
Most fish in grocery stores doesn t have the level of information on the label that the app specifies nor do most restaurant menus The list I downloaded from your website a few years ago was much more useful I was looking for an update but this app is overwhelming in its specificity of information that I can t verify when I m buying fish Why not tell me which brands and restaurant chains are better or worse I just wanted to know if wild Alaska salmon is still ok and what kind of canned tuna is ok or to be avoided but I m no better off than before I looked at the app This app is apparently designed for wealthy foodies not for ordinary consumers trying to make better choices By the way Apple you dumped my whole review when my nickname was already taken Why don t you tell me to pick a different nickname BEFORE I type a whole paragraph with one finger     This app is not for real people living in the real world beckycarr100
Yo uso en mi clase Es muy bien                     Bueno App de IPad Ktkp319
This app helped me with my Marine Biology class essential for fish research Specifically used to interview restaurants about the fish they sell                     Amazing app helped for Marine Biology Smarter Artist
Fantastically important resource for eating out everywhere                 Rad
Nothing more to say the idea and concept are fantastic Although its very slow to load and crashes Often Im sure an update or two would fix any issues     Great idea slow and crashes
App has good info on sustainability but sorely lacks info on mercury levels and can lead to consumers making a poor choice for their own health For example king mackerel has one of the highest level of mercury according to National Resources Defense Council but this app shows 3 out of 4 choices as best choice based on sustainability and color coded green which may lead consumers to purchase when its actually very harmful to them Please consider adding mercury information to the entries so we can all make informed decisions that are healthy for the environment as well as ourselves Also a usability suggestion after viewing an entry from search results please make the back button go back to the search results instead of the entire list Sometimes I search for a fish and want to check out each of its varieties but the back button takes me all the way back to the beginning Please go back to the search results from a specific entry Thanks        Recommend adding Mercury info
Like others this app will not even open     Doesnt even open
Ive used this guide since before it became an app and its grown more complicated in the past couple of years Its great to be thorough but too much complexity is confusing and can cause crashes Im not sure about partners either For example we are having difficulty in the Pacific Northwest regarding some mollusk farmings use of biocides while others are more sustainable Thanks for all your work We really need this but I use it less than I used to since its not so easy           No longer so easy
Zero search results for sockeye or sockeye salmon Its right there if I go to the S section How can I trust that the recommendations are accurate when so little effort is put into the app Invest in a competent app Until then Ill have to trust my memory Swordfish is okay right        Amateurish
This is a great concept but despite deleting and reloading the app all I get is just a moment were updating the app Theyve been updating for months nowWould love to use it when its functional     It doesnt work
Great idea if only the app actually worked Its stuck in a constant updating state and will not open     What a shame
Easy to track where my fish comes from before I eat                 Great app
There isnt any information on any of the fish You would think that since it has been 6 months since the previous release this one would have been QAd I hope seafood watch can find new developers     Fixed crashing but still useless
I used to carry around the little card the seafood guide used to be printed on so I was thrilled to see that theres an app Unfortunately I cant even get it to open just a black screen that never loads any info Useless     Wont even open
Liked older version much better        Dont like new interface
Really elegant interface makes doing the right thing easier than ever Nice upgrade Monterey Bay Aquarium                 Gorgeous and Good
It either opens then crashes immediately opens and stalls forever saying its updating the databases or refuses to open at all Funny I havent used it much this past winter but with spring coming Im in the mood for fish People at Whole Foods shouldnt have to wait while Im navigating a web site when the app is SO FAST when it works Please fix this I otherwise love it and want to give you five stars     No longer working AT ALL
Just a list of While Foods near me     Useless
This has been a great app for years and now nothing will display at all in browse and searches return no results even for basic queries like shrimp Please fix so we can make informed and environmentally friendly decisions Star rating is based on glitch otherwise it has been 5stars              Please fix
Learn it Do more good                 Great info
I also got the black screen of death running iOS813 on a touch iPod     Black screen
This app is so interesting Very much a waste of time                 AMAZING
Was disappointed to discover yesterday that this app no longer works on my phone perhaps due to the recent updates It now crashes every time I open it I even tried reinstalling it and still had with the same problem I wound up having to use the Seafood Watch website to double check some choices while at the grocery store yesterday I dont mind having to refer to their site as a temporary solution but would love this app to be fixed so that I can easily refer to it again when shopping and going to out eat           My favorite app but now crashes when I use it
No longer works on the iPod touch Please fix It used to be a helpful app     Black screen on iPod
Just downloaded the app When I try to open it it just says hang tight were updating the app and thats it It never opens Im bummed I thought it would be a useful app     App wont open
Opens up to a blank screen on the iPod touch Dont download MBA please fix this        Fix it
Its totally broken     Says updating but doesnt work
app crashes please fix     Does not work
Just keeps saying hold on we are updating     Will not work
Ever since I got the iPhone 5s this app has not worked at all but I didnt delete in the hopes it would be fixed The other week it began working again I havent had any problems Still like this app a lot hope it stays up              The app is working again
The app looks beautiful and it seems to have the information Im looking for But I would rather have a bare list because the interface is so broken the information is completely inaccessible Trying to search or sort makes the entire app go blank and stay that way for minutes at a time on an iPhone 6 on wifi There is no feedback on UI elements Even a progress bar would help At least then we would have a better idea of whether it was completely broken or just unacceptably slow        I wish it worked
This keeps having issues Most of the info doesnt load when you tap on a species of fish Load is never completed on the app     Terrible app good idea
Revising this to reflect a very informative app that actually runs now I would add avoid Thai shrimp as it is entirely produced with forced labor but I suppose human rights may be beyond the purview of the aquarium              No more crashing Thanks
This app is a great idea but unfortunately it does not work on my IPhone 6 It constantly crashes after opening it It would be great if it actually functioned     App Review
The interactive design is much easier to navigate and get info iP5 with iOS 712                 Great new design
I dont know how to use it u should have drections on how to use        Help
App opens and updates but closes as soon as I do anything iPhone 5 with iOS 83     Crashes immediately
Great information in a pretty app No crashes on my iPhone 6                 Great app
I used an older version of this app on my iPod for years and it worked great Its very disappointing that the newer version doesnt work on my new iPhone Like others have said it just sits there updating     Sad
After trying deleting the last two versions of the App I had hoped that this latest iteration would useable While the information is relevant getting to it is a pain EVERY time I open it the App insists on updating even if I used it only 10 minutes ago So I sit and watch it update for over a minute There should be some way to disable the auto updating update when I want to do it Seriously this App has gone downhill in terms of usability What happened        Still buggy
It used to be excellent Now it wont load andor crashes Please fix it     What happened
App does not work     Does not work
Ive downloaded the app deleted it and re downloaded it 3x now to try and get the app to work Instead I cant get it to go past the initial splash logo page and get a we are updating your app with new recommendations and a spinning wheel over and over     Unstable
Latest version does not work at all It was great while it lasted So sad     Dead in the Water
Works fine for me Great help when shopping and dining                 Like the wallet card but with a little more info
The app stalls on opening wile it updates the database Then if you close and reopen it works sometimes for a few minutes at most before crashing After a few of these cycles it stops displaying information at all and returns no results when you type something common like salmon Sustainability is a huge consideration in my food choices and I really depend on sources like this for accurate information trouble is it must be available to me at the point of sale     crashing
not working at all     not working
I thought it would not work after seeing reviews But it started working in a minute after opening the app Im using iPhone 4s              Its working
Its long past time to save our oceans this app is a great way to help do that In theory It doesnt work At all Somewhere every time this app crashes an angel fish is weeping     A great idea
Its been a while since I looked at this app and its much better than it used to be Thank you and like the previous person mentioned maybe you can add info about mercury too                 Nice guide
Currently this app is useless In the past I have used to to help direct my purchases and restaurant orders What happened     Please fix
Every Time It Opens I Wait For Updates I typed it out to simulate the cadence of waiting and waiting while the app updates Then once it is opened no fish found        Better before the update
I was among many who reported the problem with version 40 opens to a black screen on iPod touch 5 running iOS 8x I am happy to report this update fixes it Also like the new feature using Location Services to display restaurants nearby supporting responsible fish supply                 Thanks for the update
