### 5/5 — A very happy user

*2026-08-11*

If you guys are looking for an app that does everything for free then look no more. I’m super satisfied with everything this app will do for the community. This app has helped me get permission to fish some elite salmon holes

**Developer response:** This is incredible news! Thank you for sharing how Baseline has helped you find new spots. Looking forward to seeing your catches and extremely grateful that you are part of the Baseline community! -Casey

### 5/5 — The App above all outdoor apps

*2026-07-27*

I honestly love using the Baseline app!! It’s been a total game changer! Before this, I was constantly bouncing between multiple apps trying to piece together the info I needed, which was frustrating and time consuming. Now, everything is in one place, and it just makes sense.
The features are incredibly helpful and actually feel built for real people who spend time outdoors. And just when I think it can’t get any better, the founder releases even more mind blowing features I didn’t know I needed. 
It’s simple to navigate, super reliable, and runs smoothly every time I use it, which is huge when you’re out in the field and don’t want to deal with glitches.
If you’re into hunting or fishing, I can’t recommend Baseline enough. It’s one of those apps you didn’t realize you needed until you have it and now I couldn’t imagine a life without it!

**Developer response:** TNFarr, thank you for taking time out of your day to provide such a comprehensive review! The feedback I receive from the community, folks like yourself - keep me going. If you ever need anything added or a feature improved, please don't hesitate to reach out and I'll do my best to have it in your hands within the week. Good luck out there this year!

### 5/5 — I wish I had this app when starting out

*2026-07-26*

I don’t use the hunting options, but for fishing this is the most versatile app out there.

The fact that river-based regulations, water levels, current hatches, tides, and weather are all in one place is a huge benefit.

The app doesn’t have anything you can’t get somewhere else, but it ties it all together in one place that’s easy to see and with offline access. I also like supporting a small developer with skin in the game (no pun intended).

**Developer response:** BrShootr,
Thank you for taking the time to write out this review! It means the most that you took time out of your evening to write this out. I will continue to work diligently to bring new and improved features to Baseline and be quick to respond to any requests or reported issues. Thank you for being part of the Baseline community. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out. -Casey

### 5/5 — Best outdoors app out there!

*2026-07-23*

This app is great! Everything you need for outdoors in one place, not only is it fishing and hunting. You can utilize it for just about anything outdoors. Whether it’s hunting, fishing, hiking, kayaking, you name it. The app is built for the users and only continues to get better!

**Developer response:** PNW, thank you for the awesome review! It's incredible what we've built as a community and Baseline continues to get better each and every week. I hope that you have a great weekend and stoked you're part of the Baseline community. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out. - Casey

### 5/5 — Elite.

*2026-07-20*

Honestly, when I first got it I was hesitant to switch from OnX since I had been using that app for the last 7ish years. After, learning how to import pins and tracks and seeing how everything was all in one place it was a no brainer. On top of that, what you get exceeds the value of any other hunting or fishing app, you get everything all in the same place with out having to pay an arm and a leg. Plus if you meet the ceo, you’ll know he is about his business and is a true outdoorsman.

**Developer response:** Tanman, thank you for this incredible review! Switching from an app you've used for so many years is a tough choice and I sincerely appreciate you giving Baseline a chance. If you ever need anything at all, please don't hesitate to submit a request within Baseline or reach out on FB or IG. Stoked to have you part of the Baseline family. -Casey

### 5/5 — Amazing all in one tool

*2026-07-17*

Built for people who do both hunting and fishing. I’m so impressed there is no other app like this in the world!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this 5 star review! This means incredibly much, especially since we're building this together and very fresh on the app stores! Best of luck out there this year - if you need anything added or improved, please don't hesitate to reach out! Casey

### 5/5 — Revolutionary!!!

*2026-07-08*

I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I didn’t know how much I needed this, until I tried it!  It’s so comprehensive. Nothing else really like it on the market!  It’s now on my Home Screen and will be used on the daily!!!  Thank you!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for Baseline Maps. This app is truly built for all of us. Every single feature and bug that gets fixed within the app - is from someone within the community. Each and every week, Baseline continues to get better through support from folks in the community like yourself. Good luck out there and I'll continue working to bring you a better Baseline Maps each and every week.

### 5/5 — Makes learning easy

*2026-07-02*

This app deserves 5 stars in every aspect. I’ll be the one to say as a female in the fishing world, Driftline has made getting out on the water so much less intimidating. I love that it gives me an idea of what to pay attention to. The app is clean, easy to understand, and doesn’t feel like it’s only built for hardcore anglers, and with no judgement either. It’s nice to see something that feels welcoming to women who enjoy fishing too, whether you’re just starting out or have been fishing for years. It’s become the number one app for women and men and kids all around. The turn around on the suggestions is amazing as well. This feels like a huge break from the invasive and hard to navigate apps.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the incredible review! This is what keeps me going is knowing that the community and folks like yourself who are out on the water putting it through its paces - enjoy it. If you ever need anything such as a new feature or find something with Baseline that needs attention, please don't hesitate to reach out!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-06-30*

Update to prior review: Baseline continues to improve. It’s amazing what this app delivers all in one place. Gone are the days of checking multiple government websites to get water data to add to my catch journal. The integrated feature in Baseline captures all the relevant water and weather data when you record a catch. Wondering about run timing? The app now has integrated catch statistics from state wildlife agencies. Literally any data you want, it’s in there. The developers commitment to continual improvement of this app is second to none. They are responsive and quick to add requested features. I’m blown away by how much they continue to improve. It takes a truly special person to take a fantastic app and keep growing it into something uniquely outstanding. I cannot recommend this app highly enough. 

DriftLine has been a game changer for me. Having all the data for all the rivers I fish in one place is so convenient. Also, the integrated journal feature is incredibly helpful in identifying trends for what presentations work in what conditions. If you want to take your fishing to the next level, get this app.

**Developer response:** CH4, reviews like this keep me going and I couldn't be more grateful to continue building Baseline Maps with folks like you that run it hard. If you ever need anything or something within Baseline needs improvement, we'll do our best to make it happen within the week. Have an awesome 4th!

### 5/5 — Amazing App!!

*2026-06-26*

Amazing app. Period. It has all needed info for any given lake, river and ocean. The map has so many features that I dare you to try to use them all. Wouldn’t trade this app for anything.

**Developer response:** Fixitsubway, your review means so much. Thank you for the incredible feedback. If you ever need anything at all, please don't hesitate to reach out within the app or on IG/FB. I'll do my best to make sure any feature requested is shipped within the week. Tight lines.
