### 2/5 — Missing information

*2021-10-01, version 2.7*

Unfortunately it doesn’t even have all the state parks listed.

### 2/5 — GREAT...When you have Cell Service

*2020-09-13, version 2.7*

None of the maps are saved in the app, so when you enter a park like Shades or Turkey Run where cell service is spotty or non-existent, it’s completely worthless.

### 2/5 — Incomplete

*2020-03-06, version 2.7*

Not all the state parks are included so not sure the point.

### 2/5 — Non responsive

*2019-09-20, version 2.6*

When tapping on an icon on the map to see what no on a park, the app becomes non responsive. You will not see any info or not the name of the park. No directions to the park either.

The app con on the bottom right of the app which appears as a current location icon is actually a switcher between park options. This icon could use updating to something that lets you know that it’s a switcher and not your current location.

Many people know where they are and so this icon appears pointless to those that don’t realize what it is.

The app hasn’t been refreshed in over 2 years so it isn’t properly maintained and is in need of a serious update and great look.

This app has great potential and I’ve had it for years in hopes of an update that has not come.

Please update this app.

As a suggestion it would be nice to have all of the discover pins and info in a tab as an option for those of us that collect them.

It might also gain interest in others if they have a way of finding out about them. They aren’t well advertised for the most part.

Thanks

### 4/5 — Works for me

*2019-01-02, version 2.6*

The app works for me. It’s free. I like that this app has links to the campground and trail maps. I can download them and keep them on my iPhone.

### 2/5 — Style over substance

*2018-05-28, version 2.6*

This app is a classic example of a design agency being too in love with their own ideas and not thinking about how people would actually use it. The main “menu” is a stylized scene that you have to scroll through to find what you want — looks nice at first but becomes frustrating after about 2 minutes. 

The app’s content is mostly glorified in-app browsers; there’s nothing here you couldn’t find quicker with Google and the DNR’s website. And there’s stupid UI decisions, like if you go in through the Map main menu item, you can’t get to maps of the individual parks — for that, you have to go through the “Visiting” menu item. And the little popover tutorials about how to use the app won’t go away until you tap on all the things they’re pointing at, like I’m an idiot and I don’t know what a close button does. 

Bad user experience, lackluster content...deleted it.

### 3/5 — Great

*2016-08-11, version 2.3*

But this could use easier accessible hiking trail maps and public access points for river trail maps

### 4/5 — Great app

*2013-01-22, version 1.5*

In today's world it's nice having great apps at your fingertips when ever where ever you are.  
Great for making reservations at campgrounds etc.  wonderful.

### 4/5 — Tons of info

*2012-11-11, version 1.4.1*

Need to be able to rotate the screen for easier viewing!

### 2/5 — Great app

*2012-08-30, version 1.4.1*

This is a use full app. I would really nice if someone would update this. It's late August no 2012 seasons

### 4/5 — Update Crashes

*2011-12-06, version 1.4*

Just updated and the app tries to open then crashes. Hope they fix it soon. It's been a great app until now.

### 1/5 — Equivalent of a browser solely used to go to another browser

*2022-01-16, version 2.7*

You can just use the garbage website from your preferred browser to accomplish anything you think should be consolidated into this garbage app. Despite Indiana have relatively good accounting, which regularly has surplus money, none of it ever goes towards research and advancement of anything related to DNR IS’s. So for theTL;DR: in.gov/dnr

### 1/5 — Andrew

*2018-11-11, version 2.6*

I can’t even get the app to open on my phone.  Goes to DNR with deer on page and kicks me off.

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2016-03-25, version 2.1*

I used to use this app all the time to make inn reservations. Since I got a new iPhone 6s the reservation system has stopped working. The app is pretty much useless for me now.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2014-07-11, version 1.8*

It is just as bad as the original. Come on Indiana, you can do much better.

### 1/5 — Won't show SP near you!

*2014-07-09, version 1.8*

I updated this app on my 5c and now it shows no SP parks near me.

### 1/5 — Update

*2014-06-19, version 1.7*

It's been well over a year since the last update.  It would be nice to have new interactive maps and event calendars.  It would be great if you could buy passes from this app and utilize them on passbook.  Also the possibilities of reserving boats and pontoons via the app would be nice as well.  Please update this app!

### 1/5 — Crashes!!

*2012-12-27, version 1.4.2*

Every time I try to open where to fish it crashes

### 1/5 — Where to fish??

*2012-05-05, version 1.4.1*

Every time I try to open the "where to fish" menu, it either won't open or it crashes. I have reinstalled a couple times and no difference...

### 1/5 — CRASHES!

*2012-02-26, version 1.4.1*

This app does nothing but crash!  Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2011-12-10, version 1.4*

Welcome screen opens and then app closes within 1 second. No chance to see anything. I deleted it.

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2021-04-01, version 2.7*

I just discovered this app and so far love it. I like that it has the campground maps and trail info for each park. Can’t wait to get out and explore!

### 5/5 — Extremely helpful

*2020-01-15, version 2.7*

One day I decided to plan a road trip with my girlfriend. I started researching where some nice places were near me and I came across this app. It has helped me tremendously with finding different spots to take little trips to. This app is very helpful and I recommend it to anyone that wants vacation or recreation ideas.

### 5/5 — Exceeded expectations

*2018-03-25, version 2.6*

I wasn’t sure what to expect but this app is worth the download if you plan to travel to any of Indiana’s DNR owned parks. Very attractive interface and art. Very functional.

### 5/5 — Fresh new look

*2015-04-13, version 2.0*

I like the new look. Everything is easy to find. There are lots more mapping features too. Love the app!

### 5/5 — Nicely done

*2015-04-10, version 2.0*

Great app. My kids actually enjoyed looking through the app.  Map feature is my favorite.  Nice work Indiana.

### 5/5 — Improvements

*2014-10-28, version 1.8.3*

The last release had some much needed inprovements.  Great service to the folks in Indiana.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-09-05, version 1.8.1*

This is great for checking in deer and booking camp grounds.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!!! Very helpful! Great resource!

*2013-04-07, version 1.6*

As a Indiana sportsman, I have used this app sooooooooo much. It generally has all the basic laws and seasons available. Thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-04-17, version 1.4.1*

Perfect for on the go.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2011-07-29, version 1.3*

This is a truly great app.  My hubby loves it, but why isn't Morgan-Monroe state forestry listed?  We live there and it stinks that there isnt anything about it.
