Steve is a wealth of knowledge in the Blacktail Woods! I have to say this app is highly worth every penny. ### 1/5 — Nothing will play *2024-03-08* I i’ve been watching a couple of this guy’s videos and was pretty impressed with his knowledge and background. After realizing that they had an app out that helped explain how to maximize your time in the black tail Deerwoods. I was very excited to dive into this. Being one who likes to save money and knowing that I would be utilizing this app over a number of months, I decided to do the annual subscription. After I subscribed and downloaded the app none of the videos would work. When I click on the play icon, it simply comes up as fees may apply and I close that out and try again and it repeats. I even went to the degree of going into my local Verizon store and they stated it was a problem with the app. I’ve reached out to hunt multiple times via email as that’s the only way to contact them with no response and it’s been one month. I would not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — No video? *2024-02-13, version 4.0* Have an apple device and the videos will not load! When I click play it tells me “error playing the video” ### 1/5 — What is happening? *2024-02-09, version 4.0* The app won’t even allow the play option. Tried multiple times and no video. ### 2/5 — Subscription *2023-01-26, version 4.0* Can’t cancel subscription. I got to the settings and nothing comes up. ### 2/5 — No app support *2020-09-15, version 4.0* It’s surprisingly hard to find resources specific for blacktail deer on the west coast. For that, I want to give it 5 stars. Unfortunately it’s been a week since I was last able to watch videos. It gives me an error saying “something went wrong”. Sent an email and no response yet ### 5/5 — how to hunt blacktail deer *2020-06-11, version 3.1* Don’t miss this info, Mr. Isdahl’s lesson’s are extremely informative, clearly understandable , direct and to the point. He doesn’t waste your time with a lot of fluff. I wish I had access to this info 40 years ago. ### 5/5 — Great Knowledge *2019-11-03, version 3.1* Organized categories. Useful details for a still hunter. Expert experience shared. Look forward to more info to be added to the app in the near future. Some differences compared to Oregon coast climate. ### 2/5 — Save your money *2019-10-09, version 3.1* Very low production quality. Audio is bad, inconsistent and oven times almost inaudible. Video is beginner level. Quality of information is low. As a beginner hunter, most of the info are not going to help you and you have to listen to the guy bragging and tooting his own horn to find the few useful nuggets. You are better off going to YouTube. ### 3/5 — No audio *2019-09-14, version 3.1* I downloaded the app yesterday and paid for one month subscription to give this app a try, unfortunately the audio stopped working today, I can’t seem to see any bug fixes anywhere, hope they figure out this glitch. ## Frequently asked questions about Blacktail Hunter ### What does the Blacktail Hunter app do?
