Subscription is BS

This app was originally advertised as a 1 time fee. $10 to get the app and all updates would be free no subscription necessary. Now they’ve completely backed out on that and made it subscription only to access features that used to be free. That’s total BS. Now I’ve lost a significant amount of the information I used to have access to, unless I want to pay $15/year. Come on guys, do better

Liar

When I subscribed Paul said it would be a set price for life, now he wants more money on his ElkNut app.

Recordings still don’t work/Where are all my practice recordings

Edit review/ you can only record practice calls if connected to internet. I suspect this is because of the microphone on iPhones use your location information if granted permission I wonder why they need your location for such things. It’s all about selling your info to the marketing scum of the earth corporations/Second review still cannot use practice recording feature I was one of original suckers to pay for this app before they ruined it and tried to rip off there customers and now the app is useless for its original intended purpose/
Updated app and lost all my recorded bugles. This was the primary reason why I purchased the app. Now I have lost all me and my sons so much for keeping track of our progression. Not happy.

Excellent elk calling info but run like a side hustle not a professional app

Have had this for a couple years now. The content is great - I find it educational. The code needs some improvement, especially related to downloading content for use offline. The downloaded content no longer works offline. When I emailed for help, I got a half-hearted response that did not resolve the issue and then crickets. Given how much time I spend out of service in prep for and during season, not being able to access the content diminishes the app’s value.

I love the elk nut but

For years they have not addressed the offline download issues

I download all the data pre season and I get out to the wilderness and it doesn’t freakin work.

I even refresh all data which is an option they have and put it on airplane mode. Doesn’t work.

Amazing

I got drawn for the elk lottery this year and didn’t know anything about elk. Never even seen one in real life. Thanks to this app I was able to work this bull in. It took almost 2 hours of intense calling and without this app I wouldn’t have known what he was trying to say, how to respond to get a reaction out of him, how my response is supposed to sound. All this. This app helped a rookie solo elk hunter but a tag on the antler of the first elk to be harvested in Minnesota with a crossbow. After almost 2 hours I was able to call him in to 25 yards before I took the shot. Highly reccomend.

Response from developer

Thank you for the great review and congrats on your successful hunt!

shady business practices

I tried this app in 2022. Paid the fee and after a few weeks decided it was not for me. I cancelled my membership but never received any sort of confirmation email.

Today, two years later, I saw they are still trying to charge me an annual fee! No email was sent notifying me of this for obvious reasons. I only have one email ever from gotgametech and that was from the original transaction in 2022.

Disappointing

I bought this app and was happy with what it taught me. I was very disappointed that Paul changed the app to a yearly subscription. I will never buy this app again. For Paul to cancel what I bought and make me buy it again yearly. Not a chance will I ever buy anything from him again. Update… all the information I purchased is working again Thanks

Greedy update

Purchased this app in 2020 under the pretenses that all content wild be available for a one time purchase. I come back to the app for a pre season refresher, and his best sequences are now locked behind another paywall. It is advertised that only new content added after 2022 is behind the paywall, but these same sequences used to be available after purchasing the app. Absolutely greed, and taking away a product that I already purchased once.

Pro Doesn’t Work No Support

I purchased the Pro version but cannot access the Pro features. Essentially I still have the free version but paid for it. I called the original owner and it has been sold so he can no longer help in support. No response from the company that now owns it. Wasted $14

Scam, beware

Beware that what you pay for may be changed at any time and you may be asked for more money,

Many people, including me, bought the lifetime subscription only to have it deleted off our phones and we now have to pay again. The only explanation was he set the price too low and changed his mind

Dishonest , buy at your own risk.

Loved it - Hated it - Love it

Purchased this app years ago through a single purchase payment. They changed it to a subscription based app and blocked my access. I sent an email explaining my frustration and they offered to refund my original purchase but I declined and parted ways with Elk Nut. They’ve since returned the content first provided to individuals who did the one time purchase and I’m very thankful. Great app and great content, but poor customer experience.

Where are all my practice recordings

Updated app and lost all my recorded bugles. This was the primary reason why I purchased the app. Now I have lost all me and my sons so much for keeping track of our progression. Not happy.

What a joke

Bought this app, it was great for about a month, then i couldn’t access any of the content without having to create an account and pay a subscription.
I recall hearing a podcast paul spoke on, he said “I would never charge anything for this Information” and the original one time payment for the app was only to cover some production costs.
At one time I would’ve given this a 5 star rating, pretty disappointed with it now, just wish I didn’t waste my money to begin with.
Go find a podcast at least it’s subscription free.

Thieves

They upgraded their app to an annual subscription and those of us that purchased it prior to that lost access to the product we paid for and they don’t have the decency to respond to the complaint I made.

Bait and switch

I purchased this app this year, and now I can’t use it because it’s a subscription service that they want me to pay an additional $14.99 a year for. Rip off!

Not happy

Purchased Elk Nut from the App Store to get ready for 2022 elk season. Great information I was starting to process. Had it for about a month and they shut down the app to restructure. Haven’t been able to use since. Don’t answered my emails.

Thanks for listening!!!

Paul you came through!!!!… you made the app even better. Thanks for listening to the community and making the old still available. You’ve now created a way to entice those that Matt have not wanted a subscription with new bells and whistles!

Bad update

Please get your act together on this new app. It was beautiful and worked perfectly before. Now it is unusable. Videos won’t play, wrong content shows through. Paul is a great guy! Developers, please get you act together. I will be canceling my subscription until you can get your act together and get a app that works. Thanks.

Change to subscription right after purchase and right in the middle of the season??!

Bought for $10.00 and downloaded a few weeks ago for this archery elk season (September 2022). I go to use it at camp on a hunt and I discover it's changed to a subscription model and won't work without signing up. Ok... The app gives me an option to get a free year of the subscription, since I already recently bought it. Great! Except you have to fill out a form and email them, and they are supposed to get back to you. Ok... Did it... WEEKS AGO! No reply since. Archery season came and went. Still no reply. That's absolutely terrible timing on your part, changing to a subscription model right in the middle of the season. So it didn't come in handy for the season. I still can't use it. And IF I ever do get that free year, it will have expired by next season anyway. Paul's videos online are second-to-none. But changing the app payment structure during the season and not getting back to people who just bought it? Really disappointed.
