Ratings and reviews

Decent start. I currently have two bits of advice. You already have GPS enabled in the App, so there should be some sort of way to "Find a place to..." Using the GPS. IE: GPS shows what WMU a user is in and what WMAs are close by. (In short, start tying WMAs to WMUs (website too) because two separate lists is frustrating and time consuming) Second, and slightly more tricky, you don't have hunting/fishing seasons in your calendar or you could add that info in the above-mentioned suggestion.

Two stars for their intentions. Almost everything in it is a link to the VT Fish & Wildlife website. The fishing opportunities are basic & mainly focused on Chittenden County, ignoring the rest of the state. The hunting options are also basic & only provide PDFs from the website. While the state did start offering big game reporting online this year, it's cumbersome, not included in the app, & years behind other states. This seems thrown together & a basic frame for the website, disappointing.

Its OK. Lots of the mapping functionalities aren't working properly. I tried to open various WMU maps, but it wouldn't let me. Please look at Virginia DWR app as a comparison. That... and their website are one of the best I've seen.
