With FathomVerse, you can:
- Be among the first to review real imagery collected in the ocean.
- Learn to identify more than 70 groups of marine animals.
- Help train AI models by labeling animals in underwater images.
- Participate in quests, earn badges, and track your scientific contributions.

## FathomVerse Reviews in United States

### ***** "Environmentally intriguing type shi."
Ts game is sick. Please make it so that in the flag/answer review screen, you can zoom in on the images. I would also maybe like for a ‘super-favorite’ button for your favorites, so you can choose amongst your favorite images a select few that always appear at the top of your favorites. Very chill nd tuff game conceptually.
-- Zach - Sst, 2025-02-13

### ****- "Logging ?"
I love this game! The one thing i’m confused about is why you can’t access the little lesson telling you about each animal as you are sorting and naming them in the training section. It feels like if I could refresh what each animal looks like before finalizing my log I would make fewer mistakes.
-- cassettecountry, 2025-02-06

### ***** "Excellent game and educational experience!"
I really love this app! It's really fun to look at all the images of sea creatures and expand upon my ability to identify all of them thanks to the educational training the app gives you. You get to help science and have fun. And some of the images are really cute and funny!
-- Splashy jay, 2024-05-29

### **--- "wondering if they have given up on making this app"
A beginning attempt but certainly not playable by a long shot but I wish you all the best if you are still planning to make an app that works.
The California Academy of Science makes an outstanding app called Seek for plant and insect
ID's which also (I believe)has a partnership with
another app called iNaturalist. Neither one of these is a game, but I use Seek daily.
-- 123You&Me, 2024-05-24

### ***** "I love this! ❤️🐠"
FathomVerse is awesome, however, I do have one change to suggest.
Customization: It would be nice if you could change your avatar. Maybe you could change it to a picture you had favorited? Again, awesome game.
-- AxolotlLovegood, 2024-05-24

### ***** "Amazing opportunity to contribute to ocean science from a device in your pocket"
I love this app! Yes, there are a few UI steps that can be frustrating at first (although the most recent update has improved much of the onboarding experience for me), but the dev team is super responsive on Discord if you have any questions. The graphics are rich, the experience is immersive, and it’s a really great concept. Highly recommend.
-- Kakalacky, 2024-05-15

### ***-- "It's a neat idea but the UI is really bad and frustrating."
Core gameplay loop is very slow and tedious, made worse by the "go faster" button, which gives you a short burst of speed but makes it far more likely you will overshoot the swirly dot and have to take a whole additional circuit around the loop to get back, since you can't reverse. 

Controls between different sections are inconsistent - for example, after an expedition you identify animals by dragging stickers over them. But when you drag an "other" sticker over an animal and get more options for which animal it is, suddenly you have to tap the option you want, dragging doesn't work.

Sometimes you can drag an animal down to "collect" it for ID and it won't actually collect. If you're paying attention you'll notice it will only have a sparkly halo if you actually collected it, but if you're sleepy and not paying attention to the halos, you can apparently wash a whole run without collecting anything. It should not have a magic invisible zone that works for the drag and the rest of the screen doesn't; honestly it should just be a tap.

There's no way to get a second close look at a photo if you find that the community disagrees with you, which is frustrating.

I have yet to see metamorphosis mentioned in an identification guide for an animal that changes throughout its life. 

The common look alikes section could be fleshed out a lot. It often doesn't even tell you how to tell the difference.

You can't access the identification guide while you're actually making your identification, only while you're deciding whether to collect the image.

The controls on the illumination mode were really bad. I don't even know how I was supposed to be controlling it. Tap and hold maybe? If I tried swiping to move it seemed really hit or miss if I'd go fast or slow. Trying to line up over an image was very awkward. A lot of the images had weird artifacting that looked like maybe the image was vertically tiling in a slightly too big space.

This app could be really cool if you get the UI ironed out and like I said at the beginning, it's a really interesting idea. Please hire a UX professional to at least give you a complete review and recommendations.

### ***** "Relax and contribute to scientific knowledge"
A simple, unhurried activity that turns your game time into something useful. The interface is simple but well-designed. I love seeing photos from both recreational and research dives.
-- Queenofcats, 2024-05-07

### **--- "Missed opportunity"
Interesting idea but incredibly boring and buggy
-- Zach Ferris, 2024-05-03

### ***** "5/5 !!!’n"
v fun, but there are a few bugs. just minor stuff, music will sometimes trigger and layer over the usual background track, and its very loud. also, some text ran off screen in the intro.
