I have been unable to sign in because of having fish rules app on a different device. Plus I have Firefox browser. I reinstalled the app and still unable to sign in.
Great, simple app. The pictures are great, and the regulations for each fish are very easy to understand. They even give extra information for many fish like how good the fish tastes, if the fish is good bait fish, etc The app is a little clunky when you try loading up. I often find myself opening up the app, then closing it, then reopening it. I might have to do this a few times until the app stops freezing at the start.But once the app gets past that, and the fish species pop up, it is golden
I used to love this app until none of the image became available. I'm not sure if it crashes because although not all the fish imagines were available but a lot of thrm were. I hope the developers see this and fish this issues, then I can come back and change my rating. Update: 09/20/20 I still use this app and the suggestion the developer gave worked. However, the App sometimes still crashes and doesn't work. And this sometimes happen when you need it the most which can get annoying. Plz fix!
Excellent app for fish regulations. Completely offline which makes going off shore and knowing your regulations that much easier. Easy to navigate. Only suggestion for improvement would be to include graphics for measurements whenever possible. This would just help to demonstrate how to properly measure. I.e. LJF vs. Fork length, vs. Fotal length.
One of the most user unfriendly apps ever. Very difficult to navigate, unable to get any saltwater regulations for South Carolina. It appeared that regs we're only available for 4 States. Don't waste your time
Very disappointed ! I've used this app for years and it was great , but was forced to update with the fresh water and it will not open ! I've reinstalled the app 3 times and still nothing ! I was always taught if its not broke don't fix it ! Guess you fixed it because its definitely BROKEN !!!!
I tried downloading and updated version to ensure I have correct regs. None of the fish pictures will load and that's why we like it so much. We've used it for years. Instead of fish photos we get ads. Very disappointing. Reloaded via WiFi, etc.
Really helps when in different areas to know seasons, legal sizes, etc. I wish there was some way to identify a fish without knowing what it is. Being new to ocean fishing, there are a lot more fish I have never seen or even heard of. But this app is definitely a keeper!
Very useful app every time we go fishing. Photos really help in identification. App now has ads and would like to know if there is a paid version now to get rid of them. Please let me know as I cant find a button to get rid of the ads/banner. Wish I saw the moderators post sooner. Thank you for the update. Still actively using the app.
Very great app that works well and is very convenient. I just wish there was a way to see all of my logged fish in one place as opposed to each trip. It would be cool to see each personal best in a list or sizes broken down by species.
fast resolution to crashing issue. Great app. Update: questions to developer were answered quickly and accurately. Newest upgrade is even better! This app allows me to keep up with changing regs in different areas that I fish.
Version 5.9 is crashing. Worked great on earlier version, then I got a notification to update to get freshwater fish info. Now the app no longer runs. **Update** Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the problem. Love the app!
Great app. I'd like to suggest that instead of banding the fish picture at the bottom with blue or red, how about make the Text Green or Red. The banding makes it harder to identify the fish picture. Love the app!
The app provides great information to assist in identifying fish, determining the regulations, and if the fish is safe to eat. However, the process to create an account is very poorly executed and so far it has been impossible for me to create an account. I need the account so I can sign up for the #ProStaff subscription.
No more wondering if the FWC has changed rules in the middle of the season our trying to keep a dry rule book handy. This app is amazing and provides an alternative to spending hours of research to fish legally. Also, provides federal regulations if your fishing outside of Florida waters.
Youre killin' me smalls! First time around, it was great. I was forced to update( new regs evidently) and it just wouldnt open. Now, after several times uninstalling then reinstalling, it works, but all the images are gone. Just killin me!
It's a great app except one thing. needs to have the rules, regulations, and size limits for Fresh water as well. Otherwise it's a great app and can be used "offline" if you dont have cell service.
*update* captain of our charter confirmed the fishing regulations as stated on the app. 5* application! Just downloaded. Pictures are added for most fish i am interested in. Good links to verify seasons, limits and sizing. Only a 4 star because i haven't used it on the shore or boat yet. I will this weekend though! Also, this was linked via a State's regulations website.
I love it. Good pictures, descriptions and up to date. Would give it 5 stars if everytime I check a species I could go back to the list where I left off instead of having to start at the top of the list again.
This app has always worked great but the new update that was just released has a bug and now the app doesn't open. When I click on it give me an error and the closes. I re-install the app and still same issue. Hope it gets fix soon.
love this app, the fact it's totally offline is great because when you are in the middle of nowhere and want to make sure you're legal with a fish, it'll pull right up with all the info needed for most fish you'll catch. Keep up the awesome work on it!
Figured I would give this app a try. Recently moved to a different state both are land locked and wanted to have a quick guide for regulations. Unfortunately no such luck here. App looks like it's only set up for coastal waters.
