Please fix this issue please & thank you ### 2/5 — Meh. Better to just use the website.... *2020-07-03* A pet peeve of mine is phone apps that regurgitate a website. This app hits close to that mark. Otherwise, I've found it's ability to provide the info it offers the user varies between inconsistent and incomplete. Net: not a big value-add. ### 2/5 — You cannot select whitetail deer on iPhone. Top line is unselect ale behind header ribbon. *2019-12-03* See above ### 3/5 — Sizing issues *2019-10-21* Please adjust the sizing overlay. Unable to select the top line item from most pages. Often, the line item at the top is the most visited. For example, unable to select white tail, but have no issue if you wanted to find crow season details ### 3/5 — Can’t select white tailed deer *2019-10-12* The overlay doesn’t allow to see or select the very top of each list, please fix ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2019-03-30, version 1.5.4* The worst app on my phone. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t recognize my DNR ID NUMBER *2018-11-14* Took my DNR ID number directly off my license issued by the state of Maryland and the app says that the number is not valid. Frustrating! ### 1/5 — Lost all my information *2018-10-21* Frustrating, doesn’t recognize my DNR I’d Mumber have had for over 20years ### 1/5 — No maps *2018-10-03* No maps, no way to get to them. Interactive maps button returns you to the website. Useless. ### 1/5 — Looking for maps *2018-07-06* Website directed me here for maps, can’t find anything useful in the app. Would like to see bike trails, both off road and on road but ability to toggle types of biking trails or roads. ### 1/5 — Very clunky, and zero use for seeing one's license *2018-05-26, version 1.4.9* Have to re-log in to the app every single time you move from one page to the next. But most importantly, the app doesn't allow you to bring up an electronic copy of one's fishing / hunting license - despite having the app, which could include a bar code readable image, you always have to carry a paper copy of the license. This app could be much, much (and easily) improved. ### 1/5 — Fishing Areas *2017-07-14, version 1.4.8* Will not display fishing areas or map. Location was active to allow app to search. Fail! :( ### 3/5 — Cant find app *2017-07-10, version 1.4.8* When you search maryland dnr or even maryland state parks you can not find this app. The only way to find it is the link through the state site. This seems very counterproductive to me as a maryland resident who uses the parks and would love to share information about them with friends or family. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-08-25* So outdated , someone must have pocketed most of the money that was allocated for this build and maintenance ### 1/5 — Josh W *2024-06-07* Can not log in to renew my fishing license. What a horrible app. The website doesn’t work either. Please fix this!!!! ### 1/5 — Worthless *2022-03-08, version 1.6.3* Very little use, particularly compared to VA and PA apps. No electronic license, no offline regulations, etc ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2021-12-29, version 1.6.1* This honestly has to be the worst app ever created. It took me forever to create an account, took me forever to log in, and then it never can remember your username or password. Maryland stop being cheap and put a little money into this app. ### 1/5 — A clunky way of getting to the website *2021-12-07* What a waste. If the app is just a fancy “front door” to the website with a worse browser. Save the headache and space and just bookmark the website ### 1/5 — Poor app *2021-08-22, version 1.6.0* Looked up a State Park and could not link to the park-just froze ### 1/5 — Sizing issue?? *2021-04-20* Every word and sentence is on top of one another. I don’t know how else to describe it. The app is unusable. ### 1/5 — Update *2020-08-24* Should be updated as soon as the new hunting license come out ### 1/5 — Select screen *2019-12-01* Can’t select the white tail option but can select everything else.....sizing is off because it cuts off the whole top where the time is too. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after last update *2019-10-17* You can’t select white tail deer or anything at the top of the screen due to the sizing of the app and menu layout. Worked great past several seasons but now is rendered almost useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-12-03* I mean honestly im in love with this app. The map is great. ### 5/5 — Best way to check in game ever !!!!! *2018-12-18* So easy to check in your big game!! ### 5/5 — Useful for MD. camping. *2018-09-09, version 1.5.1* Find a state park, see amenities, book campsite. Very handy. ### 4/5 — Much improved fishing support! *2025-07-03* Much improved support for identifying permitted fishing locations, as well as getting licenses. Used to be good mainly just for seeing DNR news. ### 4/5 — Good, But… *2021-06-18* I enjoy this app for what it is, a nice directory of places to fish or to hunt and good identifications for different fish species and legal limits and the like. What it needs is the ability to store your fishing license/hunting permit in the app, ending the need to carry a paper copy with you, and the ability to renew said permits and licenses right from the app. Guys, gals - make this happen. ### 4/5 — It’s different *2019-05-15* When I first downloaded this app on my iPod 4, it was an encyclopedia about all the wildlife in the different regions of Maryland. It’s now a directory for activities and hunting seasons. ### 4/5 — Works for me *2017-05-28, version 1.4.7* The fish location finder is great. I just wish I could get my fishing and hunting licenses on here. ### 4/5 — Pretty Handy *2015-10-04, version 1.4.1* I find it to be a pretty handy app. Has a lot of information you can use and it makes it easy to report a harvest. It would be great if there was a FHFH location find, but other that that it is good. ### 4/5 — Waterfowl seasons *2015-10-03, version 1.4.1* Please update waterfowl seasons. We are a week out and nothing is in the duck section, and goose still only has early residents listed ### 3/5 — Please update for 2020 season *2020-08-28, version 1.5.7* Please update for the 2020 season. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
