### 2/5 — Hangs up

*2026-06-13, version 2026.249.0*

Great concept to have a QR code for your license, but the app will not progress to the renewal page. The endless loading circle does not go away.

### 3/5 — Pretty buggy

*2026-01-06, version 2025.244.0*

Pretty buggy does what it needs to and that’s about where the pros end

### 2/5 — Very User Unfriendly

*2024-03-02, version 2024.220.0*

The concept is great but the application leaves a lot to be desired. Finding simple open and closing dates and regulations is a pain. Harvest reporting is relatively easy but looking up exact opening and closing dates is aggravating. Would love to see some improvements on user interface.

### 2/5 — App not functional

*2023-12-22, version 2023.219.1*

There’s now a fixed banner at the bottom of the app that doesn’t allow you to move forward with license sales or quota hunt applications because it’s in the way.

### 4/5 — Twra

*2023-12-22, version 2023.219.1*

Love the idea of the app, but it’s annoying to have to update the app almost every time I get one the app. It takes a bit for it to update on my phone, it may not do it to everyone but it happens to me almost every time I got on it

### 4/5 — Document upload doesn’t work

*2023-12-02, version 2023.218.4*

It allows you to download documents so you can have your hunters, Ed and drivers license, but it will not open them once downloaded

### 3/5 — I’m old

*2023-11-26, version 2023.218.4*

I know I’m old, but this app is very difficult for me to use simple things like looking up county and hunting date took forever to find

### 3/5 — Update

*2023-07-11, version 2023.217.0*

It would be 5 stars if it would update without having to delete it and reload it.

### 1/5 — To many ads

*2023-06-03, version 2023.217.0*

I get advertisement is everywhere but why does it bombard the app with ads. Click on anything and you will see 3 ads before you find what you are looking for. I buy the hats the hard copy cards and donate on top of licenses.

### 1/5 — Pop ups

*2023-04-19, version 3.14.3*

The amount of pop ups makes the app unusable. On my IPad I got 5 pop ups in less than a minute. The pop ups just turned my screen black. It got so aggravating I just closed the app. This wasn’t an issue in the past so I’m assuming greed took the place of customer satisfaction. Leave it to a government agency to fix something that wasn’t broken.

When I select the section marked all hunting regulations. Only on my IPad not on my IPhone.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2023-04-06, version 3.14.2*

The “where to hunt” options could be better. For Virginias app, they’ve got it to where you can select what you’re trying to hunt and it suggests the best places. Would be nice to see that here

### 2/5 — Not easy to use.

*2023-04-04, version 3.14.2*

Could be made much more user-friendly. Works well for game check in never had a problem there, but searching for information is as basic as seasons and limits etc. I really struggled with.

### 1/5 — Turkey seaso

*2023-03-24, version 3.14.2*

Y’all have ruined turkey season !!!!    And the fishing on Kentucky lake !!!! Thanks a bunch

### 1/5 — Absolutely the worst!

*2023-02-05, version 3.14.0*

They took an app that was not very good to begin with and believe it or not made it worse! It’s totally unusable you can’t find anything and you’re bombarded with unwanted ads constantly that pop up out of nowhere. I’m a big fan of TWRA, the agency is one of the best in the state of Tennessee but this app is impossible! You’ll be wasting your time to download it or use it.

### 1/5 — This is ridiculous.

*2022-10-04, version 3.12.0*

Come on guys. Can u not do better than this. I mean heck. I ordered my license off of the website so when it gets here I won’t really have any need for this app.

### 1/5 — Ruined by Ads

*2022-10-02, version 3.12.0*

This was an excellent app that has been rendered practically useless by obnoxious pop ups. Trying to find your seasons is confusing enough without the constant disruptions. 
I'll keep the app to report tags but I'll get my info from the website from here on. I hope TWRA at least does something useful with all that ad revenue

### 2/5 — It’s okay

*2022-08-12, version 3.11.0*

The where to fish function is buggy, you can’t drag the map to the right to look left, without it pulling the map off and opening a side menu. Unfortunate

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Confused

*2026-01-24, version 2025.244.0*

No option to log in and find my licenses.  Highly annoying

### 1/5 — Used to like this app

*2025-12-26, version 2025.244.0*

This app used to work great. Now it opens and automatically closes. Not usable.
Also had issues with signal strength and wouldn’t drop a pin when harvest reporting this year.
Sure needs an update or a fix.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2024-12-14, version 2024.226.0*

Being required to update the app every time I open it is a pain. The constant pop ups are worse. The numerous attempts to upsell me when I’m just trying to buy a hunting license might be the worst.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-08-28, version 2024.226.0*

I down loaded app and it opens and shutoff each time I try it.

### 1/5 — Quota application won’t continue

*2023-12-22, version 2023.219.1*

Been trying to apply for a quota and when you try to “continue” the application after one has “updated” their choices you can’t “continue” because it’s constantly hidden by the twra presidents name and the websites privacy policy. You can cancel the application it the “continue” is constantly hidden. Maybe someone could flip the buttons since who would want to cancel their application verses continuing their application. 
 Absolutely horrible interface

### 1/5 — account unable to log in

*2023-11-12, version 2023.218.3*

when trying to log in on my account the app freezes up and won’t let me log into my own account.

### 1/5 — Still does not work after update

*2023-10-25, version 2023.218.3*

Is this ever going to be fixed? Can’t do anything without it freezing or crashing. So annoying. Temp tags it is until I have signal I guess. *insert dramatic eye rolls*

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-29, version 2023.218.0*

Every time I try to add a license, the app freezes. Useless

### 1/5 — Ads and crash

*2023-07-24, version 2023.217.0*

Trying to read regulations takes you to a page full of ads and videos with the regulations barely visible. Then it crashes, which could just be my phone overloaded with ads. Not worth it to carry your license.

### 1/5 — Biggest feature of this version is video ads blocking content!

*2023-07-11, version 2023.217.0*

Woo hoo! I’ve been waiting for an app I use to view hunting and fishing regs to come along that had videos ads popping up blocking me from the contact I use the app for! Finally it’s here! This is utter garbage. This app now forces you to go to their website for the regs and you get bombarded with non-sportsman video ads blocking content. Your hundreds of dollars in license fees and other costs to this agency apparently wasn’t enough. Yet another group of worthless bureaucrats getting their pockets lined a bit perhaps? Hmmmm

### 5/5 — Aparel

*2024-06-07, version 2024.223.0*

Every thing is wonderful i do wish it was easier to find the hats and things and i wish they sold them at the office

### 5/5 — Just wondering

*2023-07-20, version 2023.217.0*

I was wondering if this app also do fly fishing.🤔

### 5/5 — App is good

*2023-04-14, version 3.14.3*

I like the regulations at a finger tip and I like the purchasing license when every you want. Wish they would put public land access on maps for each county.

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2018-11-08, version 2.0*

Good to use if you don’t want to carry your physical license

### 5/5 — Great hunting app

*2017-12-18, version 2.0*

This app is great for seeing when you can go out in the morning and hunt. I have used this app to help my family and I get out at the right time

### 5/5 — Please update

*2015-11-03, version 1.0*

Love the app but I can't get the sunrise sunset times to display anything 2015. Please update

### 5/5 — Awesome little app

*2015-04-18, version 1.0*

I really enjoy this app. Has a lot to explore from places to hunt/fish to renewing boat/hunting/fishing licenses and fish identification guide. Really impressed. Now I don't have to run to wal mart to renew my licenses. Thanks! Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the outdoors in tennessee.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

Great app with a whole lot of useful information to have In the field.

### 5/5 — Great App

### 5/5 — It's here

*2013-11-27, version 1.0*
