I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, and it still happens. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2023-01-01, version 1.8.0* This app crashes when open it seems to work when I go through the internet no good outdoors ### 1/5 — HIP Registration *2022-12-10, version 1.8.0* HIP registration is nowhere to be found on the app, will just have to call them. Can’t expect any better from a government run app though. ### 1/5 — Needs fixing *2021-07-25, version 1.6.0* App crashes. Can’t open ### 1/5 — Requires internet to display license *2021-07-04, version 1.6.0* This app doesn’t work in the real world. It WILL NOT display your licenses without internet so if you’re up a trail or in the middle of a lake better forget the app and bring a paper license. I was really surprised it doesn’t store your licenses the way the airline apps store your tickets. Also the purchase license functionality is just a wrapper around the mobile site so easier to use that. ### 1/5 — Hard to see info *2019-10-26, version 1.2.0* Chat icon doesn’t work and is always in the way when trying to get info. Let’s you enter contact info and nothing else. Poor app for phone. Nice that it displays license info. And that’s about it. ### 1/5 — Needs to be more user friendly *2019-04-20, version 1.0.1* I like that the Iowa DNR finally has an app but it needs to be more user friendly. Especially when it comes to using the map and different layers. Wish you could drop way points and save locations or share them with friends. What about enabling your GPS to track your location when on public land!? The people that created this app should take a look at On X Hunting app and take some notes. ### 2/5 — Cartoonish *2023-10-25, version 2023.218.2* I think y'all need to hire the person that Did Nebraskas app. It’s way more use friendly. Poorly laid out. ### 2/5 — Not Impressed *2021-05-31, version 1.5.0* I just bought a license and though it syncs, I still do not see my card. I have the confirmation email so I know I paid for it. ### 3/5 — Hard to find in phone *2023-10-27, version 2023.218.2* Could we rename this app Iowa DNR or at least have the full word “Iowa” in the name. I just had a discussion with my fishing buddies and we can never find the app on our phone because of the poor naming convention. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Iowa DNR *2025-04-06, version 2025.235.0* It has worked great and just got my license for turkey hunting the only thing that could be better is the customer service otherwise it is great ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-05-07, version 2024.221.1* It’s a great app but I really wish it had more about fishing, and the fishing report is hard to under stand. Besides from that the rest is Beaty helpful.🐟🎣 ### 5/5 — Better than having to carry your paper license *2021-12-09, version 1.6.0* I pike the fact I don’t really have to carry my license with me since I have it on this app. I am glad I can renew the license thru the app as well. ### 4/5 — Good app and idea, still showing last years info *2022-04-21, version 1.7.0* Hunting Seasons are still showing for 21/22. Would be handy if the app was updated with the most current hunting season information and regulation book. ### 3/5 — Decent App *2020-10-13, version 1.2.0* Does as advertised, it would be nice if this synced with Apple Wallet. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
