Our Fish ID Model Is Crushing It — And Beta Testing Is Now Open

We've been putting our on-device fish identification model through its paces, and honestly, the results have blown us away. In our testing so far, it's been 10 for 10 — every species identified correctly from photos alone, running entirely on-device with no internet connection.

Will we see some misidentifications out in the wild? Almost certainly. No AI is perfect, and real-world conditions — bad lighting, weird angles, water glare — will challenge any model. But the foundation is incredibly solid, and we're confident anglers are going to be impressed.

Beta Testing Is Open

Here's the big news: ReelIQ is officially in beta, and we're inviting anglers to help us test it.

If you want early access, just send us an email at [email protected] with your email address and a short message about how you fish. We'll get you set up with a beta invite through Apple's TestFlight so you can be one of the first people to try ReelIQ before it hits the App Store.

What You'll Get to Test

• AI fish identification that works completely offline (639 species)
• Smart weight estimation from length and species
• Automatic weather and location capture when you log a catch
• AI-powered pattern detection that learns from your fishing history
• Personalized 7-day fishing forecast scored against your own data
• Private by default — everything stays on your iPhone

This app will make logging fish and discovering patterns so easy, you'll wonder how you fished without it.

Why Beta Testing Matters

Your feedback is what gets us from good to great. Every catch you log, every edge case the AI encounters, every feature that feels clunky — that's the data we need to make ReelIQ the best it can be before launch.

We're aiming to have ReelIQ live on the App Store by June. Beta testers are the ones who will help us get there.

Get Started

Send us an email at [email protected] and we'll get you set up. It only takes a minute, and you'll be fishing smarter before the rest of the world even knows ReelIQ exists.

Thanks for believing in what we're building. We can't wait to see your catches.

Tight lines.
