### 2/5 — 360 spin

*2026-08-24, version 26.31.1*

I pay over 100$ a year for this app to not allow me to spin a 360 to get different angles. A problem I’ve had for a few years. Everyone I know that has this app has the same problem. Fix it.

### 3/5 — Incorrect owner and acreage

*2026-08-08, version 26.29.0*

OnX really needs to update their ownership more often and make sure they are giving the correct information such as acreage. I sent numerous reports that have apparently went unnoticed. I wish that it could be sorted out as my property borders thousands of acres of public land and I don’t want any confusion.

### 5/5 — Best Hunting app!Thr

*2026-08-07, version 26.29.0*

I love the app.  Carry it with me on every hunt. It gives me confidence to hunt alone. 
The major downfall is their help is next to worthless. A book would need to be written to cover their poor ability to assist you with your app.

### 4/5 — Serious reliability concerns

*2026-08-06, version 26.29.0*

The biggest reason I pay for onX elite is offline maps. Before a remote Colorado River trip, I downloaded everything. 
Once I was offline, the maps were blurry and lacked the detail needed for navigation. That’s exactly when this app is suppose to shine. 
If I can’t trust, it’s offline maps in the wilderness, what am I paying for? 
I hope onX addresses this issue because it’s a serious reliability concern.

Update: OnX followed up and took this seriously. 

Their engineering team reviewed my screenshots and logs and confirmed. There was a real issue where off-line maps could appear fully downloaded even though the detailed imagery had not completely saved to the device. They told me they’ve already released a fix for the primary cause and are developing a feature to verify downloaded imagery before users lose service.

I also want to be transparent that OnX extended my elite membership for two years as an apology. I appreciate that, but what restored my confidence more than the membership extension was that they investigated the problem, acknowledged what went wrong, explained it clearly, and are working to prevent it from happening to other users.

My original experience was genuinely frustrating, especially given where I was when the maps failed. But OnX handled the resolution extremely well, and I think it’s equally important to give a company credit when they respond the right way.

### 5/5 — Updates

*2026-08-02, version 26.27.0*

Good morning yes I had an issue with the phone updating from my phone to my iPad. I called in and they helped me right away showed me how to do a. Hard reset, and just like that, it worked didn’t take about a few seconds.

### 2/5 — Old info

*2026-08-01, version 26.27.0*

Old Info over 3 1/2 years …I checked with County and Title Company…the property is privately owned but app has outdated information in Oregon

### 5/5 — Personable

*2026-07-31, version 26.27.0*

I had the 2 states version. I had lost my card and replaced it but didn’t update my information. I couldn’t figure out how to reinstate my subscription with the veteran pricing. I called customer service and didn’t have to explain why I was calling to a computer. I got Amanda straight away and she had me set up in just a couple of minutes. It was so refreshing to speak to a real person and not have to enter numbers or try explaining why I was calling to a computer. Customer for life!

### 3/5 — Not for guides or professionals

*2026-07-31, version 26.27.0*

Good app for casual users but will freeze and fail when you need it the most

### 5/5 — Quality

*2026-07-26, version 26.27.0*

Quality product, Quality Support

### 5/5 — Rambling man

*2026-07-24, version 26.27.0*

OnX Hunt had sent me an email offering to upgrade my service from premium to the elite membership at a discounted price. When I tried to enter the code, it didn’t function properly. I then called OnX and talked to Kevin. He was extremely helpful and professional, and he took care of the upgrade for me. I’m extremely pleased with the service I received from onX Hunt. Additionally, the app itself is extremely useful. It’s not only good for hunting applications but for finding property boundaries, etc. This is a great app and professionally done.

### 5/5 — Great value - Great Price

*2026-07-23, version 26.27.0*

I use the app for hunting and in my real estate business.

### 5/5 — Thank you OnX

*2026-07-20, version 26.27.0*

These people that work customer service at OnX are top notch. Very professional and helpful even when people are frustrated and not the nicest they remain calm and supportive helping you every step of the problem. I had a property listed wrong and they went above and beyond to make sure the changes were made and ownership listed correctly not once but twice. Kudos to them..

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Overpriced

*2026-08-22, version 26.31.1*

$15-$35 a month for something you use 2-3 months out of the year and during those 2/3 months your looking up only one location usually waste of money when I can go to the town hall and get this info for free !

### 1/5 — Everything is $

*2026-08-18, version 26.31.0*

The free version lets you do absolutely nothing.  All you can do is see a map.  Not even some of the features are available.  Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Garbage app forces you to pay to see states

*2026-08-13, version 26.31.0*

Garbage app forces you to pay to see states

### 1/5 — Land ownership not correct

*2026-08-11, version 26.31.0*

I have reported an error multiple times in the last 5 years for an owner of a large ranch in NM and OnX still has not made the change. I like a lot of the features they provide, but I always double check with other mapping programs when I am near private property to make sure land status is correct. It’s hard to trust OnX when you know they have your wife’s family ranch being owned by someone else.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-08-07, version 26.29.0*

I would not buy this app for any price.  You need help with this app -forget it.  All rude amateurs.  I hate this app and do not recommend to anyone.

### 1/5 — Not sure?

*2026-08-04, version 26.29.0*

I just got the app and after seeing that the only way to use the app is to give them access to so much private information. I’m not sure I want to do that.

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2026-08-01, version 26.27.0*

I hate these apps that allow you to download them and only after you enter all of your information, you find out that you have to pay for them. Deceitful!

### 1/5 — App will not recognize my subscription

*2026-07-27, version 26.27.0*

No matter what troubleshooting I attempt, I cannot get the app to recognize my paid subscription.

### 1/5 — frustrating

*2026-07-18, version 26.27.0*

Apparently anyone can call and changed property  data.  I have been dealing with customer support since April to get a property listed right. I have went round and round. Sent proof of ownership and tax address. Finally they change it then after very impressive review they switch it back taking it out of my name again. I will be contacting an attorney and the AG

### 1/5 — Landscape mode

*2026-07-03, version 26.25.0*

I have an iPad and I don’t understand why I can’t view the app in landscape mode? I have the trout route apps and it can be viewed in landscape. Why can’t this app?

*2026-08-26, version 26.31.1*

Have had a couple interactions with customer service and have  had outstanding experiences with all of them. They have been incredible and that’s on top of an awesome app with great capabilities!

### 5/5 — Buckmaster

*2026-08-26, version 26.31.1*

Awesome app! If i would have been more familar with the app a few years ago it would have saved me a 3 mile drag of a big northern maine buck,i used it this past hunting season in maine an it saved me along drag!

### 5/5 — Not tech savvy

*2026-08-20, version 26.31.0*

Had an issue changing maps. Talked with support and had the problem fixed in about 30 seconds. Unbelievable tech support.

### 5/5 — Long time user

*2026-08-16, version 26.31.0*

Recently had need for help from customer support and Natalie did a great job of helping me find the information I needed.  I just wish finding Natalie would have been as easy.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend this app!

*2026-08-12, version 26.31.0*

I have had On X for several years now.  They continue to upgrade the app.  I would literally be lost sometimes without it.  I especially like being able to down load areas that may not have cell service and still use the app!  Definitely a game changer.  I highly recommend On X.

Their customer service is over the top!  Very friendly, professional and product knowledge is outstanding!

### 5/5 — Best hunt app that I know of.

*2026-08-10, version 26.31.0*

I love the OnX hunt app.  Gives me confidence when hunting alone!
