I really like it a lot and I love having the hunting & fishing regulations & lake fish size limits right at my fingertips. "BUT" it can be hard to find some things. For example: The age of your black bear, or the document for my grandson's citation bluegill. (Which by the way, I still have not found so I can print it off for him.) There is other thing's that are hard to find too, but you get the idea. Thank for the opportunity to comment!!! Sincerely, Craig Vandergriff

A recent update has made the license image unreadable due to its small size. It was previously working fine. I know it's surprising that a government agency would mess up something that was working well, but hey.... it's so hard to read now that I question its usefulness. Also, the app is named "GoOutdoorsVA" but would better be named "GoHunt&FishVA" since its really only aimed at people who are hunting or fishing (or boating, which is commonly associated with fishing...). Previous versions did a good job at giving license information, and I used the app last year to check in deer and to buy a license, so it worked for that, but it's not an app for hiking or birding, for example -- which are other reasons that people go outdoors. So it should be properly named, and readable.

Our most recent version of the app is available in the Play Store. This version has reintroduced the zoom buttons on the license page. Our app does have a "View" section where you can find birding and wildlife trails, Wildlife Management Areas, and different outdoor events. Thank you for your feedback! -JG

The old version was much easier and more information. This app is dorected to the dgif website, and is much more difficult to find what you want. The only thing that is a good idea, is having your license info here Yes the new version is perfect.
