Knowledge is power
The HuntWise App is crucial when hunting or hiking trails. I have the ability to scout new areas before I hunt them and love the multiple map layers to better understand the terrain. The app helps me find saddles, potential bedding areas, wetlands, and food sources. I plot my path marks so I never get lost or go off the best route when entering or exiting in the dark. I also use the app for new hunting opportunities or tracking a deer on the neighbors property. The app is very updated with landowner names, phone numbers, and addresses so you are one step ahead when contacting them. Hands down the best app for hunting.Show lessDeers n Beers
Shady Business Practices/Information Collection
I can’t trust this app because of their shady web community practices.
Huntwise operates like a scammer. They post myriad "product pages" that appear in search results like a desirable product in stock at a good price. The purchase link says, "sign in to buy." You have to create an account--including verifying a live mobile phone number (a valuable commodity for them to sell; already associated with a product interest) in order to find out that the "product page" is just a link to a store somewhere who once had that product for sale. (They mostly seem to be dead links.)
After they have collected your information, there is no mechanism to delete your account or remove your information. You just remain a registered “user” (presumably improving stats for their funding rounds??)
If you email them to ask for your account to be deleted, they will remind you that their service (verifying your email and cell phone to send you to a discontinued Cabela’s product page) helped you discover new products. Sure, I needed to trade my identity to them to discover that Cabela’s sells jackets. That’s shameless.
I consider these guys scammers.Show lessTheamazingrando
Amazing app
I love this app I use it every day and the only thing I don’t like is all the options/features that I’m missing out on because of the pro deals. I want all of my friends and others to start hunting and to help them they should start by getting an app to help them ,but the pro membership limits almost everything on the app. I’m only 12 so I don’t want to spend $60 a month for an app I only use on the weekends or in the summer I only have $60 period.Show lessmavo.-.
Unhappy
I’ve had this app for over a year now and I thought it was a great app to have for hunting. But now that I’m getting into full hunting mode this year and starting to use the app I’m finding that me pay $10 a month for the pro subscription is becoming pointless. For example, I’ve gone out and sat many times now based upon the movement predictions and times and honestly they a far from accurate especially since I just got done with an all day 12 hour sit and I saw absolutely nothing. I even talked with a few other hunters that hunt in the same public land that I hunt and they said they didn’t see anything at all either. Very unhappy with the app. Therefore I will be canceling my subscription and go back to hunting the way I used to by stepping outside and watching the weather.Show lessurban3316
Overpriced for bloat and doesn’t work as advertised.
I’m not wasting my time going into detail again as the appstore keeps deleting my review but this app charged me $120 when I clicked start 7 day trial and the pro layers don’t even work and the rest of the features are either available in free version or just extended (like the 15 day forecast instead of the free 2 day forecast). Greedy developers instead of hunters trying to help other hunters. Got to love corporate america, the indians sold their souls for casinos and Jeff and the rest of the hunters sold their souls to charge some unfortunately low mental capacity individuals $120 a year for something clunky that used to be free. The good reviews are from before the update. Beware!Show lessNich & Co 518
So far not so good
I’ve had HuntWise on my iPhone for a few years. It was a free app when I started using it. It was also very easy to use and an almost perfect app for a hunter. I had 7 stands marked and could open the app and check all the stands for wind, moon phase, temp etc. in about three minutes.
But all good things come to an end. HuntWise started to “improve” the app and wanted everyone to purchase the new one. So they started to take away from the free one. This month I gave up and upgraded to the Pro. So far not impressed at all. From the pics on the come-on’s to upgrade I thought I would be getting what used to be free. Wrong! So far it is amazingly difficult to use. My original stands are on the map but not listed. So the only way to get to the stand is use my finger to move the map to the stand. Once there all that is shown is the stand itself, no wind direction....nothing! Then when I try to get a prediction the app immediately defaults to my home. I’ll play with the app some more but I doubt that I’ll be a HuntWise costumer much longer.
If they would get back to what they had when it was free, simple to use and very informative, I would gladly pay.Show lessVey Unhappy
Just so so
I like many things about it, but there’s a few I don’t. First, I’ve set an alert for activity above 81%, and I’ve seen predictions at 100% and have yet to receive an alert. Second, I don’t like that the 15 day forecast changes every hour. If the hunt cast is at 5pm and the prediction is 0% at that time, it shows that entire day on the 15 day forecast as 0. If at 6pm the hunt cast updates and the 6pm prediction is movement at 70%, it will change the 15 day forecast to 70%. So, hour by hour the 15 day forecast changes. Inconvenient when you have to click on each individual day to see what’s really happening that day.Show lessall nicknames are taken 84
Was great at Pro...
Really enjoyed all the features offered at Pro and for the price, it wasn’t bad but now there’s a new level to the pyramid “Elite” which cost considerably more. What happened to adding a couple new features and leaving the price where it was? Companies always have to 1-up themselves.
All that being said, at pro level before the “elite” got dropped, I really enjoyed the app and the features. Mostly climate accurate and I really liked huntcast and the ability to download maps for offline use.Show lessTopRomeo
All the info you need
This is a very good app, it covers a lot of ground for a variety of species. You can customize it for multiple hunting locations in different state, if you hunt out of State like I have. Definitely worth trying it out. Like any app, if you want the better features you are going to have to pay for them.Show lessR&BStew
Tough a Trevor
Hunt wise is great service.I am extremely happy with this app. I have looked up and down for an app that will give me the lay of the land because I do not know how to read a topo map this app breaks it down and spend it around so that I can see the ups and the downs so that I can locate the travel Corredor’s ! I love it and a shout out to Whs! I love every video you produce as well.Show lesstough trevor
