### 2/5 — Needs work

*2022-01-02, version 1.3*

Mississippi has an app for license and permits to be stored wish this one did the same

### 3/5 — Online app

*2021-06-21, version 1.3*

Mississippi has an app for storing your hunting license on your phone!  Would love to see La do the same!

### 3/5 — No fish???

*2018-06-29, version 1.3*

Would really love y’all to add fish to this app! It would be helpful to have limits per species and such!

### 2/5 — Where is hunting info?

*2017-09-24, version 1.3*

No hunting info and wma info. I was looking through app for season dates

### 2/5 — LDWF App

*2016-07-24, version 1.3*

This app is not what it claims to be !!! On my app I cannot pull up any type of fish. All that is available is Waterfowl ID and Snake ID nothing else. I'm currently looking for an app that works.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2014-12-24, version 1.2*

I ran the update hoping that the apps explanation that the outdated information was to be replaced with more useful information for hunting season. That was September. Here we are two days before Christmas, a month left in the water fowl season, more than half way through deer season, and still no useful hunting information. To be precise, there is no hunting information at all. Is it safe to say that someone dropped the ball on this season or should the explanation have read that the data was being reworked for the 2015-2016 hunting seasons and that wording was somehow left out?

### 3/5 — Please update

*2014-09-27, version 1.2*

This app was great until this update. Would've been better to just fix the incorrect information rather than just remove all of it. Patiently waiting, sometimes when out on the water you don't always have cell service to look things up on the website

### 1/5 — Not being updated

*2013-09-06, version 1.0*

Still shows last years info.

### 3/5 — Update needed

*2013-09-05, version 1.0*

Only displays last years season regulations. Needs to be updated to this year

### 1/5 — Way Too Big

*2013-02-24, version 1.0*

Y'all have got to figure out how to shrink the amount of storage this app takes up on the phone. 700 something MB! I want to use the app, but I'm not going to tie up that much space on my phone. Please don't take too long fixing this problem...

### 1/5 — Poor

*2022-08-15, version 1.3*

Gives no information about hunting regulations,
fishing, or anything. Just shows what snake is poison. Kinda embarrassing having this app

### 1/5 — Incomplete App

*2022-07-13, version 1.3*

What’s on the display photo is all that’s offered. Adding Fishing/hunting license & laws would make this app more useful. In fact, making the app an extension of the official website should be the goal.

### 1/5 — Can’t buy a license

*2021-06-20, version 1.3*

If you want to provide an app look at what other states include in their app.  Ga and Fl allow you to buy and view hunting license and fishing license online. Also check in deer and turkey harvested.  View the seasons and limits with sunrise and sunset times. Look at the previous reviews of this app , people have been complaining about these issues for years.

### 1/5 — This app is no good for a LDWF app!!!

*2021-03-11, version 1.3*

Please go check out the Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries app to see what one should look like. This one has no season dates, bag limits, license info, or nothing. Nothing about “Fisheries” at all. This is basically a high school biology class app. I’m uninstalling. It is of so little use.

### 1/5 — Is fish not part of your office?

*2020-11-04, version 1.3*

Why not fish limits /identification???

Useless

### 1/5 — Useless!!!

*2020-10-27, version 1.3*

Needs to at least have Hunting and Fishing regulations on here.

### 1/5 — App is worthless...

*2019-01-21, version 1.3*

Assumed it would have season dates, bag limits, rules, etc. Nothing. FAIL.

### 1/5 — Don't look here for fish

*2016-07-24, version 1.3*

Downloaded this app to find info on fish bc that's what shows up in the information window for the app. Waterfowl snakes and boating are all listed. No fish. Guess they rather write tickets for fines than actually post information to keep people fishing legal species and sizes.

### 1/5 — Useless app.

*2014-12-30, version 1.2*

Three months? Really? Does it take that long to update the info on an app? If the LDWF is going to have an app, then please back it up with current info. I can google Louisiana wildlife and get better info than is currently here. I want rules, regs, and the ability to purchase licenses.

### 1/5 — Don't install

*2014-09-27, version 1.2*

There's nothing about hunting on here. No duck, deer, dove nothing. Very poor. 
To LDWF please don't offer the public and update until it's completely updated. Not to mention doing this in the begging of hunting season.

### 5/5 — Update Seasons

*2014-09-12, version 1.1*

Love the app but seasons needs to be updated for current year.

### 5/5 — Great for determining species and limit

*2013-12-12, version 1.1*

Wish the duck pictures were a little better.  I hunt canvass backs and redheads a lot and if you were not positive on how to tell the difference those pictures don't help much.  Great for quick reference on fish limits!!  Good job LDWF!

### 5/5 — Great for yunguns

*2013-01-02, version 1.0*

This app will be great for the yunguns no doubt mine enjoy knowing anything about the outdoors and this app is a wealth of information

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-12-23, version 1.0*

The app is well done and provides a to of info. There is no need for a search function. The longest regulation page is 10pg long. If you know what you're looking for you can find it, so long as you have a functioning brain. As said before, having a top and side view in the snake section would be helpful. Other than that its perfect the way it is.

### 4/5 — No need to panic

*2014-09-29, version 1.2*

I was worried about the fact that the latest update removed all the hunting and fishing resource information, but the explanation was that they are re-vamping the app to be more user friendly and to update all the outdated info (for example, all the waterfowl dates were from last season). I'll reserve judgment until they had it completed.

### 4/5 — Great app but outdated regulations

*2014-09-24, version 1.1*

Very useful idea for an app from LDWF. Just wish they would update the hunting and fishing regulations to reflect 2014-15

### 4/5 — Good for identification!

*2014-03-29, version 1.1*

Good app, great for identification. Only wish the pictures were better and more accurate..

### 4/5 — Needs an update

*2013-08-07, version 1.0*

I love the app but with the upcoming hunting season the ap needs to update the hunting regulations.

### 4/5 — Great, but...

*2013-02-04, version 1.0*

I really like this app, but it takes up a little too much storage space for my device. I'll reinstall it when I get a phone with more space, unless you guys can reduce the size by changing the image format, or by splitting up the app into 2 or 3. I agree with the review mentioning the need for a top view of the snakes.

### 4/5 — Great, but...

*2013-01-14, version 1.0*

Need to add GPS location. Very hard to determine the exact line between areas. I've been trying to determine the exact line between areas 1 & 2, to no avail.  Adding location would let me know when I've crossed into a different area since the map doesn't follow parish lines.
