What does not make sense is demanding access to contacts, photos, media, files, device ID, camera, microphone, network data, and AI related functions. That level of permission goes far beyond compliance and effectively hands over a master key to your device. This is unnecessary, intrusive, and sets a dangerous precedent Basically blatant government surveillance on firearms owners. Use the website ### 1/5 — Difficult to log in *2025-10-23* Unnecessarily complicated ### 5/5 — Great *2023-01-24* Don’t know why people are so hard on this. Great for bookings and managing hunts. If you want proper topographic maps use a different app. No issues with this app. Very handy to have. ### 2/5 — Merge this app to Service NSW app and firearm license as well *2022-04-06* This app could do lot more than this or migrate all the data to service NSW app will be better make it as one platform ### 1/5 — Won’t let me login *2022-02-17* It’s not well done - I know my details are correct but it will not let me log in. ### 1/5 — Good idea that does little *2021-05-24* Great concept, just does not work Nav features non existent, nothing fancy required, just a way point feature perhaps…. Maps take up a very large amount of space especially considering lack of detail, and - the most annoying thing of all is that the hunting area you have booked is faded out so as to be hard to read, I assume this is to let you know your area but it has an opposite effect…. Deleted and gone back to using the website until this app works, by the way the Avenza and pdf maps work better ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2020-11-30* No way to mark waypoints. Stops me from zooming in randomly. Tracks are hard, sometimes impossible to see because of this. Maps are cluttered and unclear. Good concept, badly implemented. ### 3/5 — Looking good *2020-10-16* It’s a start let’s hope it keeps getting developed for also note to the developers many add the ability to add pin point and way points and also maybe apple CarPlay compatible ## Frequently asked questions about Hunt NSW ### Does Hunt NSW have ads?
