Ratings and reviews

Great app and I love it because you can fish and if you get checked by the warden all you have to do is pull out your phone and show that you're legal by pulling up this app! No more hassle of having to dig through your wallet to find the paper version! And they even have hard cards now that you can use and are waterproof so that's even better! I highly recommend this app to all anglers and hunters because it's very convenient and time saving!

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.

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
