*2026-01-17, version 4.3.3*

Cost

### 3/5 — Need to pay

*2025-11-29, version 4.3.3*

Don’t download app unless you are ready to sign up for another subscription.

### 4/5 — Hard to view

*2025-11-26, version 4.3.3*

Love the app but not able to expand to see better

### 4/5 — The is app I very good

*2025-11-25, version 4.3.3*

This app is very good. It could use some improvements but overall I love this app and it is pretty accurate

### 5/5 — My go to app!

*2025-11-22, version 4.3.3*

Followed the Druy’s on their tv show because of their Midwest roots. I hunt central Illinois so the info is spot on.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-11-22, version 4.3.3*

Good for wind and deer movement prediction

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-11-20, version 4.3.1*

Its so true if its slow the deer are slow

### 5/5 — 1stxDeercastUser

*2025-11-18, version 4.3.1*

I am only on the trial period but so far I like it. I am a former onX user and I am looking forward to using DeerCast.

### 5/5 — ACCURATE

*2025-11-18, version 4.3.1*

This app is just all around really accurate.

### 5/5 — Att. Haters

*2025-11-17, version 4.3.1*

Attention haters, now I have your attention….. I’ve watched the Drurys back when it was vhs and aluminum arrows and they are clearly knowledgeable about whitetails. I never leave reviews but it asked and figured it might help a young/inexperienced hunter. If you can utilize as many tactics and resources that they have it will help you tremendously. For me just hunting high quality days and keeping human intrusion to a minimum is probably what the app has helped me the most!

### 5/5 — Deer deer cast get it

*2025-11-16, version 4.3.1*

I love the app and all the intel on the phases. The wind is just slightly off but overall it’s great.

### 4/5 — Normal verses plus

*2025-11-16, version 4.3.1*

Should give more accesses without having premium  like wind detection or make it cheaper otherwise really good

### 3/5 — Not working

*2025-11-11, version 4.3.1*

I was trying to use the deer tracker and it said I needed to upgrade, so I did and tried to pay for it then it said I already had it. So I go back to use it and it says the same thing. And I tried to do it with the higher upgrade. Same thing

### 5/5 — This is a very good app. I killed a lot. Of buck with this app?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-08, version 4.3.3*

This app is terrible. It doesn’t even show it snowing in my area and we have 2/3 inches on the ground and won’t stop snowing until late tonight. I’ve found its outlook is always about the opposite of what goes on in my woods. Go get Spartan Forge and forget this app existed.

### 1/5 — Price

*2025-11-27, version 4.3.3*

Price

### 1/5 — Worst app of all time

*2025-11-25, version 4.3.3*

Not accurate at all. Money grab! I would give negative stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Activity prediction

*2025-11-22, version 4.3.3*

Activity prediction is not accurate at all. I wouldn’t base your hunts off that

### 1/5 — Waste

*2025-11-16, version 4.3.1*

Wind is always wrong   Not sure where they get there weather. I see more deer on slow days. Rut is off by a week in my area.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2025-11-12, version 4.3.1*

This app is not accurate at all, might be more accurate for those closer to Drury’s home but hasn’t been worth much here.

### 1/5 — Seems like a scam

*2025-11-09, version 4.3.1*

Downloaded the app, paid for subscription, app won’t open! Updated my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, still won’t open! My IPhone is only 2 months old so it should work!

### 1/5 — Run

*2025-11-08, version 4.3.1*

Terrible app, paid for elite and it doesn’t let me do anything! Don’t waste your money!!

### 1/5 — Poor at best

*2025-11-07, version 4.3.1*

App is not working properly. Will not update conditions and will get error message and to try to update later… what good is that in the middle of archery hunting season!!! And when it works, predictions are way off. Wishing to get my money back but that’s not going to happen. Already cancelled my auto renewal for next year

### 1/5 — Slow

*2025-11-03, version 4.3*

Have to reinstall every several days to get it to load all information

### 5/5 — Ok

*2026-08-28, version 4.4.9*

I love this app. The drury are the best

### 5/5 — Honestly great

*2026-06-26, version 4.4.3*

I have used this app for a few years now and It is the greatest tool in my arsenal. I hunt a small property so getting a pattern on these deer is really important. Using this app and marking my calendars is how I “predict” when my deer will show up. I have killed my target buck every year I used deer cast.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-11, version 4.4.2*

Awesome capability for not only hunting forecast but even better a better deer tracker advice for hit deer

*2026-05-24, version 4.3.9*

Best app for mapping and great hunting content.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-01-15, version 4.3.3*

I love this app!!! Always on point!!!

### 5/5 — 4 years of Greatness

*2026-01-02, version 4.3.3*

I truly enjoy DeerCast and trust the information it provides. It has made me a better Hunter.

### 5/5 — Accurate forecasts

*2025-12-30, version 4.3.3*

I’ve been comparing the number of deer showing up at the feeders with the forecast and this app gets it right most of the time. I am impressed.

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2025-12-24, version 4.3.3*

The best Tool to add to your hunt package is Deer  Cast. Whether you’re planning vacation days for hunting or just checking out the weekends. The accuracy of Deer  Cast gives you a higher percentage of success.

### 5/5 — Papa D

*2025-12-09, version 4.3.3*

Love love the App! There is so much you can do with this, it’s amazing. I use the parcel feature all the time. The most helpful for me while trying to pick stand location and hunting is the hour by hour wind predictions. Would hate to hunt without it!

### 5/5 — Best of the best !

*2025-11-27, version 4.3.3*

Love the app is spot on 99% of the time, this app makes hunting the wind much easier, thank you drury outdoors
