Sunset times don't work and some stuff on website is not mobile friendly. New layout dose not show all info....after new update it seems a lot better.

Unable to create account for temporary Florida fishing license because after 5 digits in the SSN field it jumps to the next field. Will have to buy a license from Walmart later... My phone is a Galaxy s6 active with latest updates.

Horrible! Hopefully who ever created the app did it for free. Im trying to create an account and the app keeps trying to log me in. I ended up using the website an took me 5 minutes vs 30 min waisted in the app.

Usless it doesn't work can't put in height and can't purchase a license. Very hard to navigate. Does scroll all the way down. It takes me about 8 minutes to go to the website purchase and print a license in Alaska. I have been trying for over an hour on here and was still unsuccessful. Don't bother having an app if it doesn't work.
First, I'm not sure how awful this app might have been but I just downloaded it and i can't find anything to complain about. Every thing I tried worked perfectly. I never write reviews but so many were ripping this I had to chime in. I am running it on a Samsung J7 and it works fine. I can pull my licenses up, view local water conditions, view when the fish are biting, and pull up the regs when I need them.
What's the point of providing the app if the thing doesn't scroll correctly?! The UI footer is permanently fix... Even when the keyboard is active! What were you thinking?! Very likely the most frustrating app I've come across in a while...
After reading the reviews it seems pretty obvious that FWC should hire a competent App Developer... 06DEC16- Only thing that works is the feeding times 09FEB17- Installed, because every year we go down to Key West. Can't read the regulations without a magnifying glass and no option to zoom in. Tried purchasing a 7 day license but instead get the coding for the link. Using a Samsung S7. Would be easier to drive through a hurricane to the local sporting goods store and picking up the paper book version. Uninstalling.

Dear Jeff, thank you for your feedback. We have made a number of recent updates to correct issues identified in these reviews. Please download the latest version of our App and try again. Useless app! Trying to buy a license through the app and it tells me im not an active customer and my email address isnt active! Good try but just not happening! I dont understand why things have to be so complicated !
Update Dec 2016 Can't input birthdate. Not going to scroll back that far. Chat was useless. Reinstalled 8/26/16 still haven't fixed birthday. Finally fixed app, works like it should

Bob, another update: we have removed the Android calendar and allowed direct date of birth entry. Please download the latest version and try looking up your license again. I immediately uninstalled. I refuse to SCROLL back to 1967 simply because you won't allow me to ENTER my DOB! Terrible oversight on your part. I'll just print my newly purchased fishing license.... Update... 2/6/2017... Reinstalled. The app is working perfectly now with all of the new updates. Thanks!

Hi Giovanni, another update: we have removed the Android calendar and allowed direct date of birth entry. Please download the latest version and try looking up your license again. Major bug. Adding license makes app crash Simple automated testing would catch this. How infuriating. Edit: Version 3.0.3 (41) seems to be working for me. The app uses a web container for many of it's features (e.g. Click a button for fishing regulations and it opens up the webpage inside the app for fishing regs online), but its still a useful resource.
FWC Developer December 6, 2016
Cody, the date of birth entry issue you identified has been corrected. Please download the latest version of our app and try again. Already had an account from previous year. Wanted to purchase a new fishing license. All was good until payment portion. I entered part of the info required then the app would not allow me to scroll lower to finish info and click submit. Colossal waste of time. Had to do it on computer.
12-6-16 Update tried the app again...seems to be working now, I haven't tried everything yet hoping everything is stable and working... Most of the tools don't work and/or crash.... please fix this could be a great addition. ..

Bruce, we hope to be a great addition to your Apps again. We have made a number of recent updates to correct issues identified in these reviews. Please download the latest version of our App and try again. Can't get the app to work at all on my phone. Can't locate my or my son's license and says my husband's birthday is not valid. We both use the app on a Moto z force phone and it works semi decent on his and not on mine.
Can't read saltwater regs. (Blurry). Rating star won't let me remove "hated it" I just installed it so don't know for sure.
They have fixed most of the problems the FAQ's link doesn't work and some of the features take awhile to load but it's very convenient to have if you leave your license at home or want to renew from your phone. Some useful info about laws and regulations as well.
Fishing license Tried numerous times to get my license on line.even though I am a licensed holders. Always says no license available.
Not an app, website gateway It's not really an app, it just takes you to the website when you want to buy a license. Then it won't scroll properly or resize so you can fill in fields. Very frustrating.
Unable to do the simplest of tasks on this app. Step (1) Create an account... Not possible with this app. I'll uninstall and grab my license at a local vendor when I arrive. Other than the uselessness of creating an account and purchasing a license, the other information is decent.
Useful...at times Links in the hunting regulations rarely work, won't open or load the page. It's great for storing license info and being able to renew conveniently. Maps of the WMA's are a nice feature.
Doesn't let me add my fishing licence so very little use to me. Oneplus one phone with cynogen. Update 5/3/16 - latest version released at the end of April 2016 still won't allow me to enter my licence. Update 12/5/16 still can't add my licenses.
I hate this in this app, I'm not a citizen, and I don't have a social security number. I have purchased the fishing license many times and I can add them in this app because it always asks me to enter the SSN, which again I don't have.
Bullshit app Doesn't let you purchase lisecenes better off going to Walmart
They finally updated their app This app use to be completely useless, but looks like they finally took all that money they charge people to fish and put it towards a working app. I can finally look up my Fishing license thru the app.
This morning... Can't renew license, can enter credit card info but that's it, won't scroll down to purchase (even minimizing page). Also, can't edit personal info (i.e. mailing address). Two weeks ago... wouldn't show license, just a blank dead screen.
Bugs bugs and more bugs Can't add my license. Can only view a portion of the fishing regulations.
Does not work very well. Trying to get to the regulations, I can't sweep the page to see info. At least I can have my licenses on the phone.
They updated the look of the app but it's still a: lackluster web browser (only tuned to FWC) & PDF viewer that also stores an electronic copy of your Florida Fishing & Hunting licences. It locked up on me when I was trying to view the Sun & Mood information (sent report). The Sun & Moon, Feeding Times menus still never display any information.

Hi Charles, please download the latest version of our App and make sure that location services are enabled on your phone for our App. We need to know a location to show feeding & solar/lunar times. This is the worst app I've ever used. Can't get through the purchase license flow to save my life. Can't scroll through the form to enter information.
Doesn't work. I try to purchase a licence and doesn't let me scroll down to put the address and try to put the info and don't let me finish. Need to get it fix
FWC Developer November 30, 2016
Steve, please download the version released today. This should address the feeding times issue you encountered. App will not allow the purchace of licences. Won't let you pay at check out. Isn't that the main point? Bad app.
App doesn't work at all for new licenses. FWC might want to redo this thing.
Couldn't even make an account once I get to my address the farthest thing I could see was state then I can never finish creating the account so can't buy licenses
I love the app but it is really painful when you trying to register a purchase a new license. I have being trying to finish my checkout for the last past hour and I still can't. Does not let me scroll up the page.
