Ratings and reviews

Very buggy constantly crashing. There's nothing about this app that is better than the previous version. To apply for multiple tags you have to go all the way back out you can't just select all the tags and apply for all of them at the same time it took me over an hour just to apply for East River West River archery deer and elk options. The interactive county map is also gone huge hassle to figure out what unit numbers are.

It's not even an app, simply a mobile port over. Their camping reservation system sucks. It's impossible to find anything. If I search for "camping with dates 8.18-8.20" and a filter of "cabin" guess what park options appear: all of them, even the ones without a cabin or all sold out.Meaning, I have to try one by one to find a campground. I would have camped much more this year if it didn't take me 5 days to find a campsite for 2 nights! ... + 2 stars for the hunting map & hunting license.

Please, please get some help with the app design! The navigation is an absolute catastrophe. Whenever someone presses the back button they're logged out, then directed to the page where you can change your personal info when you log in again. I just want to go from the cart, back to the license selection page (because there's no way to view licenses specifics from the cart), not edit my hunter safety number. Government app so it's not expected to be "good" but at least shoot for "makes sense".
