Garbage

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!!!!!

Exactly what I needed

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.

Cannot log in

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

Latest update 2.10 is garbage

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

New version doesn’t work

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!!

New version has become bug infested!

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.

Tracking your location

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

Shooting hours selection broken

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!

Nice App but big issue

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.

Hunt wild app

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 👍

Hunting hours notifications

For the most part I really like the app and it has definitely gotten better over the years. I’ve always thought that we should be able to get a silent alarm at the beginning and ending of hunting hours. Then my wife pointed out the notifications bell. So I ticked the beginning and ending notifications in the app and allowed notifications in the iPhone settings, but it still doesn’t work. I would really love to see this feature working. I believe it would encourage many more people to obey the shooting hours regulations, making the hunt safer for everyone! In the meantime I’ll continue to set a silent alarm on my iPhone every day.

Really good

DNR did something good. App works like a champ.

App issues

Have had a issue since the app updated just showing a white box where the shooting hours scroll is to change the date to see hours. Reported a issue through the app explaining what I did, like force closing the app, uninstalled and reinstalled, checked my settings, restarted my phone and the issue is still there. Got a email response telling me to do everything I already did. Love this app otherwise. Please fix this issue and please reach out if you have any questions about my issue

Useful in the field.

Great, useful app to have in the field. Love the maps and fast access to regulations.

Kind of worthless

Doesn’t have Managed Forest Lands (which are open to public). Can’t seem to link my GoWild account. Worth being “free” I guess. I would never pay for this app, unless they did a major update / fix.

Season hours don’t work on iPhone

It appears that the season hours do not work (shows null) on an iPhone but works on android. Is this a known issue or is there some setting tucked away that needs to be changed? It shows the correct user location.

Problems

I am trying to print all my licenses. Could not remember user name or password. So I went through account look up. It found my account. Then asked to send me my user name and reset password. Did that. Still does not work unless I go through search for my account. How can I trust this app to register the deer I may shoot. I will delete this app and use the Dnr web site. Please fix

Thanks for fixing my password. But I still can’t link the app to the account to print my licenses. It says there is an error linking the account.

Fox river greenway

Loving the app. So far have had a good experience. Quick walk through via YouTube video helped easily navigate the app. Only problem is the fox river greenway doesn’t show up on the app. However, maps are available on the website. Now I’m confused. Is the fox river greenway still public land I can bow hunt on???

Maps will not load

Great app if it worked correctly. I’ve tried with 2 different iPhones on WiFi and LTE, but it would never load the maps, and said that the connection was too slow. Too bad because there’s so much useful potential.

App

App is not on my iphone? I have to go to DNR website
