Can’t login

I have been trying to log in for about a week, it won’t let me it needs to be fixed

Need the ability to save hunt/fish license to Apple wallet!!

Not bad

Works well

Works well for me. I like it better than paper tags. Easy to access information and all licenses.

Can’t login or reset the password - DEC needs to do better

Having a single, relatively useless website be the only recourse for when you can’t log into the app is not useless, it’s infuriating. It should be easy to reset a password and resolve problems, not absolutely impossible. Do better DEC.

NOT User Friendly

This is the worst app I have ever put on my phone! When I try to sign in it says that the email or password is incorrect so I click Forgot Password and it takes me to DEC home page and I select login from there and without logging in, it takes me to my account. I can see my active licenses but can’t get them in a format to print. App developer should start over and redesign this app!

Horrible

The app will mot allow me to sign up, keeps taking me in circles.

Confusing

Not user friendly

Doesn’t work

Have been trying for 3 weeks to purchase licenses. Have tried the app, website, multiple computers and browsers and nothing will load

This app is terrible

The app shows that I am a nonresident for some reason and I’ve lived in New York my entire life. I have a New York State drivers license which I entered the information and it still shows only options for nonresident fishing license. Secondly, that website is terrible to navigate and is challenging to find where to go.

Doesn't always let you log in

Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't let you log in.

Waste of time

An endless sign in loop.

Horribly made

Can’t log in, nor can I make an account, kinda hard to use the app if I can’t get in

What is this app for???

Went to get my fishing license for the first time in years.. they handed me a sheet with a qr and said go here… I can’t log in.. I’m not sure why I want to.. what is the point of this app?? Do I have a fishing license or did I get ripped off? Do I have to take my phone fishing now?? I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with this..

another NYS grant disaster

Similarly to other reviews I’m seeing from many years ago, this app will not allow me to buy a fishing license. Not only have I been a NYS resident for 10 years, I have been a state employee for 7 years. Despite this, the app is telling me that I am a non-resident of NYS. Is this app supposed to be a payment portal or a portal to Hell? Anyway, this will give me something good to complain about while I’m on vacation.

Login awful and other functions often don’t work

It’s pretty random whether login will work or not. I won’t be able to login on app but can login on website. Linked account for my kid won’t let me use parent license as an identifier even though that’s an option. It’s such an awful app at this point

Garbage

Cannot even login. I made an account and it says the password is incorrect. Hot “ forgot password “ and it brings you to a generic dec website and when you search for how to reset the password it tells you to do what you just did. Just a loop of garbage

App barely works when it does

When you go to purchase a license it will lock you in a perpetual loading screen now. I have had this app for several years and it’s always been a problem. Now it’s pretty much unusable might as well go to your local sporting goods store and get your licenses that way. Even when you try to go online you’ll still get locked in that loading screen hopefully it works for the folks at the sporting goods store but I’ve known them to have problems as well with the system NY State uses.

This app shocks

While I try to show my licence to Dec ranger this app keep saying error. Can't print my fishing license either.

Login doesn’t work

Login no longer works making the app useless.

Unable to Log In

The app won’t let me log into my NYS account. Keeps giving me the same error message which I need a comp sci degree to decipher. How do I use this?
