I love the odnr website map and it’s very useful, but not mobile friendly. This could be a huge opportunity to make an update to your app. It would be awesome to also add important details to certain lakes and also spread awareness notes about endangered species, limits, etc.! ### 3/5 — Update Profile *2023-09-13, version 1.2.5* Trying to update my profile with my middle name. App will not show the keyboard to type in my name. ### 3/5 — Not Displaying recently purchased license. *2023-08-31, version 1.2.5* I just purchased a fishing license, and it is not displaying my new license under current. ### 3/5 — License and permits not appearing in app *2023-08-12, version 1.2.5* License and permits not appearing in app. That is the main value to me. ### 4/5 — What happened to the contour lines on all the lakes? *2023-08-01* What happened to the contour lines on all the lakes? They’ve been gone for a couple of weeks, at least; all that shows now is green lake areas on yellow-green park areas. ### 3/5 — Privacy *2023-06-23, version 1.2.3* I don’t recall having to provide my ssn to purchase a fishing license. I’ve always used my DL. I’ll pass. ### 4/5 — Great app overall *2023-05-16* Im having issues though. I formally owned a Non-Resident license, and that license expired. I just moved back to Ohio, but now the app won’t let me change my drivers license. ### 4/5 — App is good but.. *2021-11-06* To be able to have multi people’s info on same app would be great. My daughters 11 and yes I’m the terrible parent that won’t give their kiddo a phone and makes them get outside and enjoy nature. So to be able to keep her info in the same app would be great! **Developer response:** Thank you for downloading the app. Yes, you may add additional users to the device. Simply click on the ‘hamburger’ button in the top left corner, and select ‘Switch Account’. From there you may add your daughter’s account to your device. ### 3/5 — Issues with app operating *2021-08-19, version 1.1.3* This app worked great but since the upgrade it will not open ### 3/5 — Update not working *2021-08-17, version 1.1.3* After the update this week the app won’t open, I deleted it and reinstalled and it still won’t open? Help ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Overstepped your bounds… *2025-08-08, version 1.3.5* App has become too obtrusive. ### 1/5 — Pretty poor *2025-04-08* Had to download the app to get a fishing license. An hour later, I think I might have one. In the app I filled out the same information a couple of times in a wild assortment of drop down menus, spinners, I am not a robot, etc. Got an email with a link telling me to go online, but that didn’t work. Second email that arrived had a link where I filled out the information again multiple times and was able to print a paper copy. Wild ride to give the state 25 bucks. ### 1/5 — However *2023-07-23, version 1.2.5* How do you apply for drawn hunts in Ohio. Keeps taking me to this application ### 1/5 — App won’t open after update *2022-03-03, version 1.1.9* Worked great on my iPad until new update, now just the splash screen appears ### 1/5 — App not working?? *2022-03-01, version 1.1.8* This App was working, but now jut sits at initial screen and never allows you to sign in or do anything? I’ve deleted and reinstalled many times, but there’s no change? Do better please. ### 1/5 — Will not open *2022-02-25, version 1.1.8* Downloaded update and now app will not open. ### 1/5 — Needs so much work! *2021-11-11* I wish I would have known what I was buying because $3 is even overpriced. There is nothing on this app you can’t do by going on a regular browser. When you are looking at the map that supposed to pinpoint you it has been off over a mile for me. The map option overall is horrible. I keep my license with me so no point to that part of the app, and all the regulations can be found online. Is there a way to get a refund? **Developer response:** Thank you for trying the app, and we understand it may not be useful for everyone. This app is free. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t function *2021-08-21, version 1.1.3* The new update doesn’t work. Only get a splash screen with no functionality. ### 1/5 — Fail *2020-12-21, version 1.0.7* They want a lot of personal information, when I saw they want your social security number I was out. I like the idea of an app but someone needs to rethink this. ### 1/5 — Social Security *2020-12-01, version 1.0.6* I was excited to try this app out that my buddies have told me about until I saw that it is a requirement to enter your SS# on the app to create an account! No thanks ODNR!! Why should I have to put my SS# on your app when all I need to give is my driver’s license number to buy tags and a hunting license. Go back to the drawing board.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need an update! *2025-08-05* Hunting regulations are still posted for last year. I found the updated 25-26 regulations on your website, but the app should have the relevant information too. ### 5/5 — UPDATE! *2025-07-30* App is fairly easy to use, and incredibly convenient. However, it needs to be updated. As I write this on July 30th, 2025, the Ohio archery deer season is less than two months away. Ohio changed their hunting regulations this year, and the season dates vary every year. This information has yet to be made available in the form of an app update. You can still buy licenses and permits. ### 5/5 — Informative but needs updated *2025-06-05* The app makes it easy to get all the licenses and such that you would ever need. Also has critical information to stay legal while hunting and fishing. As of June 5 the app still doesn’t have the upcoming fall 2025 seasons in it along with any changes made to regulations. ### 5/5 — Good but plenty of potential *2025-03-26* Good app, has a couple small bugs, much more potential, pretty accurate! ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-07-31, version 1.3.2* So easy. Had my fishing license in minutes. Wish all apps were this good. ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-07-18* Freaking awesome simple lay out but access to everything hunting/fishing in Ohio! Could be really awesome if they add like gun/bow season calendar maybe a map with pictures of areas to hunt or pictures of your hunt/fish. ### 5/5 — Great modernization for Ohio outdoorsman *2022-11-24* I like everything I do to be digital. I just found out about this app, how handy! It’s great being able to purchase, view and use all your licenses on one handy app. Nice! ### 5/5 — Chief9990 *2022-02-24, version 1.1.8* App will not work after latest update Thanks ### 5/5 — Worked great prior to most recent update *2021-08-23* This app is a must for anyone hunting in Ohio! Easy access to purchase your license and tags, easy game check, and the regulations at the touch of a finger. **Developer response:** Joey Mitch, thank you for letting is us know about the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have a new app version that will fix the issue. ### 5/5 — Great App with lots of Potential *2021-04-15* I use it frequently to double check rules, season dates, game check, etc. It’s a simple user friendly app, but as other reviewers have commented there is plenty of room this app can develop into. Kudos to ODNR for getting the app going. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
