So I go to put my harvest in and I press on the catch card and nothing so I’m really confused. I look up how to do it and it says to login to the WILD website and I go to do that and it just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning and will not let me login. Mind you that I paid $105 for this thing and I can’t even use it worse app ever fix this immediately or I will be not very happy. ### 1/5 — Horribly Concieved and executed. *2026-07-12, version 1.1.0* To use a game tag on the new MyWDFW app, you still need to create some kind of physical record to attach to the animal. And, if your battery dies, you can be ticketed. What a mess. Want to take your kid or older parent fishing? Everyone needs a phone, and/or you have to log in and out of profiles. Finally, by making durable in-store tags illegal, we completely removed a vital connection to the retail establishments that help us all get out on the water. Poorly conceived and executed. ### 1/5 — App hung *2026-07-12, version 1.1.0* I was out fishing out of sale coverage and it worked a couple times to record my sockeye at Baker Lake, and then it went to a semi Blank screen where there is a title bar at the top and nothing in the main body. I tried killing the app and restarting it, and it gave me the same screen again. Repeated and got the same result. I’m really happy that I can use an app to record my catch and not piss around with a pen but the off-line option has to be fixed The only fix was to uninstall and reinstall the app when I was online ### 3/5 — Could be better *2026-07-07, version 1.1.0* There’s only an option for logging Dungeness crab, not any other species… I guess they forgot about Rocks and Tanners ### 5/5 — Works Great *2026-07-03, version 1.1.0* Glad to have a mobile app option! ### 1/5 — Login Bug *2026-07-02, version 1.1.0* My credentials were valid and login was successful, but when validating the MFA code it repeatedly logged me out until it locked my account for fraudulent activity. Can’t believe it’s 2026 and I still need to buy my fishing license at the store ;) ### 1/5 — Absolute Incompetence *2026-06-20, version 1.1.0* I really hope you didn't pay someone to make this app, because that would have been an absolute waste of my taxpayer dollars. This app sends the user on an endless login loop, triggering 2FA, then sending the user back to the login page, claiming incorrect password, which is clearly false since 2FA was triggered. If you can't even log into the app, it's basically like you don't have an app, it's worthless garbage taking up storage space. And then same problem happens when trying to log into the website. I've now tried to help two different users log in and had the same issue. Seriously, you could hire a 25-yr-old vibecoder with a couple of AI agents to build you a better system overnight. Of you want people to buy fishing licenses, fix this! Because at this point, I'm going fishing with or without the license, and if a game warden stops me, I'm going to hand them my phone and just say, "Here, if you can do it, I'll pay the fine and the license fee." ### 1/5 — Not ready *2026-06-19, version 1.1.0* Bought my license through the mobile app, was somehow defaulted or still in “paper license mode”. Called WDFW they were unable to switch me to mobile license holder, they told me I needed to go to a dealer to print the paper license, dealer gave me the run around and charged me $20 to print a “duplicate” license, which is just on standard 8x11 paper… felt like I tried to do the right thing and buy though the app and totally got the run around. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2026-06-18, version 1.1.0* Once again the state has managed to fail. This thing does not work. It will lock you out of your account and the ensuing phone call mess is a nightmare. Don’t install this on your phone. ### 1/5 — Shame on the app *2026-06-11, version 1.1.0* Full of bugs. Even the log in process is buggy. ## Frequently asked questions about MyWDFW ### What can I do with the MyWDFW app?
