User reviews

The app doesn’t work at all

I’ve tried to make an account, but I’m always stuck with a loading icon. I checked my phone for software updates, storage space, wifi connection, and attempted to create an account on the computer but still haven’t been able to create an account without being stuck with a loading symbol. I’m don’t understand the exact issue, but as a result of nothing being able to work this app is… completely useless.

Worst app

Pretty sure they don’t receive any tips from this site. I have reported multiple times with no outcome.

Horrible app!

After creating an account you can’t sign in, if you do get signed it freezes. Don’t bother. This app needs a lot of work.

It’s 2022

And it’s pretty wild that CA department of F&W doesn’t have the capability to have digital fishing and hunting licenses. Instead printed on non recyclable , non biodegradable wax paper. Solid.

This app is a mess

Won’t allow acct set up
Links to F and W pages are broken
Please fix these issues
