Disaster.💣 Hard to function and use. Slow. Crashes. Poor or no information. Gave up.
it is helpful when you are trying to identify species, but it is not up to date on the regulations or baglimits.
App still has last year guide in it and it would not let me report a harvest but i just called it in
It's a great app when it actually works.
App has a lot off important information.
You need to update to the 18 19 rulea and regulations
Trying to memorize all the laws regarding fishing in NJ would be impossible. The laws are clearly written by lawyers and need some interpretation. Having them on hand in this app covered everything a NJ fisherman could need. Adding the GPS map and the friend finder made this the best hunting/ fishing related app I've ever used. Great job fish &game !
no longer connectec with NJ Fish and game do not rely on for regs. Seems to be working better this year than last year...However I haven't relied on it as much. Mostly to check regs not maps etc
Loaded it and will not open. Crashes when tried. Uninstall and reinstall resulted in same thing.
This app is good to report a deer harvest . To slow to up date..still on 2016 and 2017..
The digest and harvesting information is not updated quick enough.
Saves me time over the old system . I like that
Great for finding out things and it have useful gps tools.
Helps keeping up the rules and regulations
Works for me when useing it for NJ fishing info
App will not open
Works for what I need
It was a good app for the 2016-2017 hunting season. It won't update to 2017-2018, what good is that
Makes checking your game in easier an quicker an not having to drive to a check in station
HELP,if anyone knows Why it won't open,please leave it in review. Tks
Latest update fixed the crashing issues, works fine for now.
Uninstalled and reinstalled because of several functions that ceased to work on the version I installed a year or so ago. Primarily, all functionality (the buttons on home) had stopped. The new version doesn't even sync with the initial updates. Utterly unusable, which is very dissappointing. Used to be great. Galaxy 6 phone, nothing crazy...
I had it on my Samsung j3 ant it worked flawlessly. I recently upgraded to a galaxy 7 and it will not load. Keeps saying "error syncing with data, check your network". Uploaded the app 4 times but the same issue is still there. Surprising that with a more popular model of phone it is unuseable.
It doesn't work on a Galaxy s8 imagine app for 3 years 2 and amp years in all Sun doesn't work. 2 billion A Month in court cost It is not even including the Fishing and hunting license and all the other things we pay for And they can't even pay somebody to make an app that works On all devices stop messing with things When they work Leave them alone
Like everything else the NJ Division of Fish and Game does this app is a mess. It does not open. It freezes trying to open it. Did this app get the bacterial disease furunculosis? Better euthanize it like the NJ hatchery brown trout! They never get anything right and this app pretty much sums up how inadequate and poorly run this government agency is. Its 2016 and middle school kids are are making apps that function correctly with GPS capabilities. Yet this app won't work! What a joke!
It's a good app but can be tricky to navigate around the app sometimes and I think they should upgrade it a bit more often maybe even add like a camera, photo option that identifies what you took a picture of.
Can't complain; good enough for government work. Quick reference guide for when you don't have the book in the field.
this was a great app but now it is not supported. you must now use fish and wildlife website to check dates and regs. NJ is going backwards.
