### 5/5 — Great APP I use it in Colorado and New Mexico several times a year

*2026-08-25, version 5.4.4*

Good app for showing public fishing access

### 1/5 — Won’t open when I needed it the most

*2026-08-22, version 5.4.4*

Spent weeks researching a 3 week trip to Idaho from Texas. That’s a 3 day drive. Had dozens of river and streams tagged and maps downloaded for some.  App stopped working when I was deep in the frank church wilderness. Have tried everything to get it up and running. Hoping to hear from tech support soon. It’s a major issue as almost all my research was tied to this app.

### 4/5 — font way too small

*2026-08-18, version 5.4.4*

font way too small good otherwise

### 2/5 — Useless

*2026-08-14, version 5.4.4*

The app is completely useless unless you pay money .

### 3/5 — Great if you know what you’re looking for…

*2026-08-08, version 5.4.3*

This app is great at giving you information about specific rivers and streams, but it’s incredibly difficult and frustrating to find cities, lakes and highways. Not sure what it is, but on Google Maps, I have no issues. On this app…good luck. As an example, I am going to Stanley Idaho next month and would like to know what streams are available in the area. Problem is, it’s almost impossible to find Stanley on the map. I won’t be renewing my subscription unless this is remedied.  It would be so much better to also be able to search by city or town. I reached out to support with no response.

Update 8/8/26

I’m able to find towns now, but still won’t pull up most lakes and reservoirs.

### 2/5 — Great if you know what you’re looking for…

*2026-08-04, version 5.4.2*

### 5/5 — Help does exist when you have a problem!

*2026-07-31, version 5.4.1*

Thank you Trout Routes, the directions solved my problem.
Your response to my Help Request was very prompt. So I changed my rating to Five Stars.
ISSUE - Paid for the annual subscription and Apple Apps shows that is so. Yet when I go to use Trout Routes it is always requesting that I upgrade from the basic level. 
Then when it I oblige the program to upgrade it, it reports I have already subscribed. His has happened multiple times. There is no HELP access on the app to try and take care of problems. I finally found the Contact Information out side of the app on your web site. Your directions solved the issue. Thanks!!!!

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-07-21, version 5.4.1*

While on Wi-Fi or with good cell coverage (5G full bars), the app seems to work perfectly fine. You can plan for different fishing areas and download maps easily. The frustration comes when you’re out in the field without a signal, though. The app fails to open and you are now unable to access any of the downloaded maps that you planned for. So if you want to move spots to different locations, you are pretty much blind as to access points and regulations without good cell service.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and disappointed that I paid for a subscription

*2026-07-17, version 5.4.1*

App repeatedly gets stuck when it’s opened.  Honestly, our state fish and game maps are more useful than this app, and they can be accessed for free.  App really falls short of what a paid application should offer.  If it integrated state stocking info, it might be worth it.  But I still find that the classification system they use is not very accurate.

### 4/5 — Map flips upside down

*2026-07-17, version 5.4.1*

Whenever I home into my location, the whole map flips upside down everytime. So I have to close it out everytime and reopen. Not that big of a hassle but I just remember not to home into my location.
