Wish it pulled more data from the WA fish and wildlife website

This app is good and communicating the regulations at every body of water. However, I wish it displayed information about which fish you may find and their stocking history, which exists on the WA fish and wildlife website.

Map issues

You can only use offline maps. It says online maps are too slow and won’t show the detailed maps.
App is slow.
App has issues with licensing.
TNThe family next-door

App sucks, won’t change modes and error sending issues.

App won’t let you change map modes, won’t let you send issues to report. Worthless app.

App stuck in pamphlet mode

Adding as a review since the link for developer support is broken…. With one of the latest releases the pamphlet mode toggle does nothing, which results in regulations showing for all dates and the previous pattern of knowing the regs “right now” is no longer. Washington has very complex regulations, this risks our sensitive fish populations and it’s no longer easy to see “is it open”? Ideally you can fix the app so it shows today’s regs and you bring back the calendar selector so you can plan for a future trip.
