However customer service did address and correct the problem ### 2/5 — Same subscription, removed all the features *2026-07-02, version 8.1.4* My husband has paid for a basic subscription for several years, which used to include property owner map overlays. He pays over $30 a year for this. His basic subscription just auto-renewed for $30, and there are still no added overlays or features that he used to have. He essentially paid the price of a pro subscription, but got a basic subscription, which is now advertised as a free subscription. HuntStand needs to update their legacy subscriptions to match the current subscription features. Very disappointed, as the basic subscription that we paid $30 for includes nothing essentially except for a map that we can get free anywhere else. ### 2/5 — Moving on *2026-04-28, version 8.0.73* Although I liked some features I found it hard to use and after two years and several videos I still didn’t understand how to use it. It’s time to try something different ### 3/5 — Not close to being accurate *2026-04-26, version 8.0.73* Gross misrepresentation . Photos of the property from last 3 months are TWO YEARS OLD. ### 2/5 — BEWARE *2026-04-08, version 8.0.70* PLEASE GET ONYX. Never had a problem with maps updating and staying recent until this week and have had previous worries about ownership of properties and reliability on information. This is a paid service and not a cheap one. Got something that is backed by county tax records and NOT WHAT EVER THIS IS IT IS NOT ACCURATE AT ALL. After receiving a trespassing notice i am now ending all further transactions and going to a more reputable and reliable map service. ### 2/5 — New App Version *2026-04-08, version 8.0.70* I use this app almost everyday for work and hunting. This app went from being 5 start to unusable. The latest version that got released a few months agois so terrible and unreliable that I will be suspending my subscription and switching to OnX. ### 3/5 — Declining *2026-04-01, version 8.0.70* App was really good but was hit with bugs one after another. They also have been cutting some options from the free version and we now get spammed non-stop to have us pay. ### 3/5 — Functional *2026-03-30, version 8.0.70* It works but the by month satellite images are beyond useless. Literally a waste of data. Zoom in to see nothing but blocks the images are so bad. ### 2/5 — Intrusive Upgrade Option *2026-03-25, version 8.0.70* I’ve always loved the app but lately the super intrusive pop up to upgrade the app is really ridiculous. There’s no way to say no permanently, so it just keeps popping up over and over in the app. Great way to push me right to OnX ### 3/5 — Alright *2026-02-27, version 8.0.66* I don’t want to upgrade to enhance my maps stop asking me every 5 seconds on x better ### 1/5 — Property info waaay out of date - lots of ads even for paid version- ONX IS BETTER *2026-01-21, version 8.0.66* As I said property info is about 2 years out of date for at lease Wyoming county PA - lots of ads - new version clumsy to use gotta jump thru hoops and it’s slow - was great app years ago but Onx has surpassed it - a shame - I speak to them they ask me to provide deed info and co ordinates to correct the properties that I know of!! Screw you! They charge me to update their info! ### 1/5 — I’d still rather use OnX *2026-01-19, version 8.0.66* Firstly, I’m using the paid version. Secondly, I’ve already opted not to renew. The inability to use multiple map layers is my biggest frustration. I’d like to see roads, public land, private land, and topo all at the same time but can’t. Back to OnX! ### 3/5 — Good but not great *2026-01-18, version 8.0.66* Yall have a lot of good this on this as but could use an Apple Watch app you make it easy to. Do tracks and at least mark something simple. ### 1/5 — Bad updates *2026-01-18, version 8.0.66* I second all the people saying this app used to be awesome and now it sucks just nothing ever loads correctly ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Customer Service Sucks *2026-04-20, version 8.0.72* I’ve been using the app for over 3 years and just recently April 2026 I can not use search feature anymore and of course customer service in out of the country and doesn’t understand English. My group is moving over to X Maps. ### 1/5 — Terrible Billing *2026-04-18, version 8.0.72* Warning! They’ll continue to bill you without notice or receipt! This app does not show up on Apple subscription list. Terrible customer service ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-03-23, version 8.0.70* Used to work good , not now , went on a week long prairie dog hunting trip and the app buttons were glitching , could not bring up property owner info to see if we were on public ground or federal hunting grounds , app is not reliable , I’m switching to on x ### 1/5 — Monthly satellite image *2026-03-11, version 8.0.69* Monthly update for satellite images only cover lower 48 states no Alaska or majority of the Canadian provinces ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-02-27, version 8.0.66* This app is always messing up. It’s a major let down almost everytime I try to access it. ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2026-02-26, version 8.0.66* Does not include parcel/property line unless you pay $100. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Fix it already! *2026-02-23, version 8.0.66* Please fix the wind direction. It’s completely opposite of the prevailing wind as the weather. North is showing south. ### 1/5 — Pricey *2026-02-21, version 8.0.66* It shows you the weather but you have to pay for anything deer related ### 1/5 — Hmmm *2026-02-13, version 8.0.66* Collects info they done need for an app like this. ### 1/5 — Can’t get logged in *2026-01-22, version 8.0.66* I have spent three weeks going round and round with Tech support at HuntStand and they can’t get me logged in. I haven’t had this trouble with the hundreds of other apps. I have used over the years. I have an engineering degree and I’m in senior management of a manufacturing company so I know my way around technical things. This applications tech support is just awful. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-21, version 8.1.9* I loved the free game land feature ### 5/5 — Usability has returned *2026-05-06, version 8.0.73* Usability had improved. Updating my review since it has been updated and ways to access have been put back. Apps been great and worked well for me for several years now. ### 5/5 — A Decade of Huntstand *2026-04-10, version 8.0.71* I've used Huntstand for the better part of 10 years. I do know there are other apps out there, but this is the one. The ability to connect this app to my StealthCams and other apps has proven extremely handy. Any issues with the app are tackled and fixed immediately by customer service. If you ise Stealth or Muddy Cameras and aren't using HuntStand. You're only causing problems for yourself. Here's to the next decade! ### 5/5 — Great maps *2026-04-03, version 8.0.70* Five Star ### 5/5 — Cant log in Update: Fixed. *2026-01-22, version 8.0.66* Bought the app thru Apple. Worked great for a while. For some reason I cannot log in anymore even though my wife still can. At first it looked like it confused me with someone else. Now I can’t get past the Sign In screen. Customer service has been no help so far. Initial response was that they have no record of me having an account. Waiting to hear back. Update: I was able to work with customer service and move my account from Apple ID to a separate HuntStand account. Now works as it used to. Updating my rating for that help. ### 5/5 — Great customer support *2026-01-19, version 8.0.66* I’ve had glitches with this app and I’ve used it for hunting and work purposes for several years now and I accidentally deleted all of my data one night. I reached out to customer service. They were so nice and helpful and they restored all of my information! Very big thank you too Nishal D. who helped me get everything back! I would’ve been lost if I wouldn’t have been able to retrieve years worth of data I had saved so I highly recommend this company, especially for the help they have given me ### 5/5 — Problems fixed *2026-01-17, version 8.0.66* App is back to its beauty. Thanks for listening to us! ### 5/5 — Needs custom icons for aussies *2026-01-15, version 8.0.66* Great app for aussie hunters but it needs icons for aussoe animals or a custom icon sysyem so i can make an icon for roos red deer goats etc ### 5/5 — Great Value in Hunting App *2025-12-01, version 8.0.62* Like this product better than OnX. Have had an issue with the app and customer service resolved it for me. They were good with communication. ### 5/5 — Free *2025-11-22, version 8.0.62* For being free, it’s awesome, it’s pretty accurate on the temperature, wind speed, but 100% on wind direction, which is mainly why I wanted it. It’s also really nice to add markers and have all the labels for them. And you can search up places to on it. Super great for how it’s free! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
