Ratings and reviews

This is/was a great app. Whatever update it currently received has made it very buggy and impossible to use. It's great to have to know exactly what regs apply to your exact location but not if all it does it spin and freeze when trying to access it. Phones are Samsung S23 Ultra and Samsung S24 Ultra with the same results. It used to work, please fix!

I've been using this app for several years, and it just keeps getting better. In addition the staff and people who manage the pro subscription respond lightning fast and are super knowledgeable. I caught a very obscure species of fish (Batfish) and they helped me identify it very quickly. If you are a saltwater angler, and even fresh in some states, this app is only going to become more popular and more helpful to track regulations and to aid in identification. This is a must download.

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
