A must have on your iPhone!
I must say that having this app on my phone has been a total game changer for spotting big game. It’s frustrating to realize how much that you’ve been missing before having this app to help detect animals at far distances. I have this installed on my iPhone X, using a Phone Skope and Vortex binoculars. Worth the download!Show lessMreeber
Enhance Your Abilities
'HuntScan has become a tool that I utilize frequently on my hunts. To me, HuntScan is most useful after I have spent a great deal of time glassing for animals and need to rest my eyes. I throw my phone onto my binos or spotter and run the HuntScan app while scanning the terrain. It's pretty neat how easily it can pick out animals that I have missed and helps me determine whether or not I should relocate my glassing position. Numerous times, I have used it and located animals that I would eventually stalk or harvest. My advice, enhance your hunt with HuntScan and become more efficient on your hunts.'

Great glassing tool
I used HuntScan for the first time on my Colorado OTC Archery Hunt. I forgot my spotting scope adapter for my phone so I’ll admit I didn’t think it was going to work that great just using the camera lenses on my iPhone but I was picking up animals up to 500 yards no problem. Also I thought the program was malfunctioning bc it kept detecting something within 30 yards of me. Turns out it was picking up prairie dogs in addition to the pronghorn I was after. Pretty darn cool... great glassing tool.Show lessbabp7777
Helpful and exciting!
Taking the HuntScan app out with our team has been an amazing experience to our impaired and low vision hunters in the community. I love hearing “Wow, I didn’t see that one!”. Simply having the app scan over a field allowed us to find a entire herd of deer! I’m excited for how this technology will improve the sporting experience for all hunters in the disabled communities!Show lessThe Blind Hunter
Crazy expensive
Just put a price on it and be done with it. Subscription based apps suckPaulsra

Paulsra, Thank you for the Feedback. We have added a Hands-on tutorial since then. Feel free to check it again. We are actively making changes to make the user’s first experience easier and better.Impressive Technology
Been using this app for the last few weekends of scouting. It works pretty well at picking up deer at a distance.Farmers_Wife
Very helpful
When I downloaded hunt scan and saw the entry price, I was a bit turned off. Then when I got their promo email I decided to try it. I purchased it through their website and saved a bunch of money on my subscription. This is really cool technology that seems to work good. Paired with my diamondbacks it was able to pick deer out at about a mile!Show lessAshleeeeT
Using New technology for hunting！
I first learned about HuntScan from instagram and was a bit skeptical. A quick phone call with them answered all of my questions. I decided to get their discount seasonal package to give it a try. So far it has worked well! My first time up in the hills it found a couple of small bucks that I would have glasses right over! Excited to use it more this fall. So far my only complaints are that it doesn’t work on my wife’s Android yet or work in the dark.Show lessChun19921029
Amazing Work In Progress
I just happened to come across this app on IG and was intrigued... looked like something right out of the heads up display on a attack helicopter, etc. First off, I was amazed that I got an INSTANT response to a IG DM and that was the case each subsequent time that I asked questions or gave feedback. So, the biggest positive, only one day I
in with the app is that the developers are dead serious about making sure your questions are answered, and from the conversations, it sounds like this is a rapidly evolving tech that is going to get better and better. So the people behind the app are top notch.
Now to the app itself, if you have good optics and a digscoping system (phoneskope, scopecam, etc.) it’s really a small monthly investment to try it out. I shouldn’t even say “investment” because that almost implies “lots of $”. That’s not the case. It’s very reasonable and can be canceled any time. (BTW, I had no knowledge of this company or tech before yesterday so, NO, I am not, in any way, affiliated or paid to give a positive review.
I’m fortunate to have my office located right at the base of a mountain that is home to a herd of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, deer, elk, mountain lion, the occasional stray homeless camp, etc, and glassing, whether I see critters or not, is really a form of therapy for me. I keep my optics in the office so each day when I show up early to work and, it I stay late, I’m constantly glassing. The terrain is basically cliffs, chutes, and really thick brush this time of year. You might see a deer for ten seconds and it will vanish for 20, or forever, if it gets behind some of the brush. My go to optic is the Swarovski BTX paired with the 95mm objective so its effectively 35 power. I downloaded the app yesterday and, with really no detailed instruction other than a couple videos provided by the Hunt Scan team, I had it up and running as fast as I would have with my Phoneskope that I’ve had forever. I typically don’t have a large amount of time to glass, maybe. Half hour or so at first and last light, and they was the case last night. I typically “power glass/ scan” high probability areas and then go back through at a much slower rate and pick things apart more and more. I was fortunate I spot one of the Rams right off the bat in the thick brush so I attached the digiscope and started the app. I was very impressed as it went through it’s crazy algorithms (I have no clue how it does it) but, within about 3 minutes, I had identified 7 Rams in total in that area. No, it wasn’t perfect. It worked best when I zoomed in (digitally), which makes me want to try it with my ATX attached where I can really get in tight. I would say that as long as there isn’t a ton of brush obstructing the view of the animal, it will typically find it. I decided to “scan” the terrain with it and not long into a slow pan to the north, it had picked out a lone doe who was not necessarily right out in the open.
Obviously, I can’t speak from months or years or even days of experience, and I’m still not positive how, or if, I’ll implement it in a hunting situation but the bottom line is, the technology exists and I am sure it will only continue to get better. There’s not much to lose to try it out and I’m excited to get it out for real this weekend and really put it to the test. Plus, you’re not going to be left in the dark to just figure things out. Their customer service and response time is amazing.Show lessdrhami26
Who knows
Hunt scan put a survey on a hunt page i follow. I dont do surveys. So i went to the app store to check it out. I down loaded the app and played around with it. Basically i down loaded a new camera app since you have to subscribe i guess to see what the app can do. Im not going to subscribe to something that i have no idea how it works. And besides, i have been glassing a long time and dont have a problem finding game. I was just interested in how new tech is coming.Show lessAZ SHOOTER
