### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-11-01, version 2.17*

While the app can be useful, it’s an awe full user experience. I can never stay logged in. If I’d like to see my liscenses and then register a harvest, I have to log in twice. 

WDNR HAVE THIS FIXED!!!! Read the reviews and prove you listen to your source of income!!!!!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2022-09-15, version 2.15*

Very simple to use. Gives me exactly what I needed; was looking for a free app that showed public hunting land in Wisconsin and this does the trick. Only thing I would add as an update would be to show where the entrances are on the public lands. I had to look at the maps myself to find them.

### 1/5 — Cannot log in

*2021-11-26, version 2.12*

I reset my password and I can log in with an internet browser, but I can’t log in via the app.

### 2/5 — Latest update 2.10 is garbage

*2021-09-03, version 2.10*

Performance is glitchy. Zoom out on map to find public land go to zoom in and boots you to current location. Cannot switch between layers and keep same property in view again boots you back to current location. Does not save waypoints. The egghead that created this update needs to get back at the drawing board

### 1/5 — New version doesn’t work

*2021-08-30, version 2.10*

I use this app for hunting and it has been great. Now the new version is terrible. On my iPhone X the map refreshes every few seconds, and if you are zoomed in it bounces back out to the entire state map. It is basically unusable now. Don’t waste your time until they fix it!!

### 1/5 — New version has become bug infested!

*2021-08-28, version 2.10*

This app has become very buggy and unusable. Last year it was working pretty well and I would’ve given it four stars. I started trying to use it again in anticipation of hunting season and it is now crap. The map is very unstable and will not allow me to explore. Within seconds it starts Jittering and takes me back to current location or shows entire state encapsulated in purple lines. I cannot save a map any longer. I had about 25 saved last year and they were stable. The back button often and disappears and you are stuck. I have the same iPhone XR.
Have tried to problem solve this with Hunt Wild staff but to no avail. I have the latest iOS and app version, great Wi-Fi, and tons of memory on my phone. I have deleted and reinstalled the app at least 10 times. Same thing. Cleaned out my phone and rebooted but still not good. Tried the app on my wife’s phone and our iPad and same result.
The apps not working and they need to get it fixed soon. Hunting season is upon us. DNR staff said they’ve only encountered this a few times with iPhones. I strongly doubt that’s true and a lot of people have iPhones!
It has the potential to be a very useful product but it’s a total waste now.

### 1/5 — Tracking your location

*2021-08-07, version 2.10*

It has been confirmed to me that this app tracks your locations and wardens can see were people with this app are.

### 2/5 — Shooting hours selection broken

*2021-04-16, version 2.9*

The date selector for shooting hours has been broken from the beginning! How come this is so hard for you to fix??? Just a white empty box!

### 2/5 — Nice App but big issue

*2020-12-01, version 2.7*

The selection screen is blacked out, no idea what I am clicking which kinda makes it very hard to use to actually see the usefulness of the app.

### 5/5 — Hunt wild app

*2020-11-28, version 2.7*

Great app everything you could want in a app and more just would add Duck identification on duck hunting section but would highly recommend this app for all Wisconsin hunters 👍
