Ratings and reviews

My favorite app by far. I use it everywhere I go, where I plan to fish. The alerts are a great feature, and having layers helps me identify water that is available. Trying to get more people in my area (central Texas) to use it, to help build a solid database. I went to NC recently, and it was fantastic helping me find public access.

2 weeks free trial, then you offer absolutely nothing for ppl. This app is useless without the top tier. I can appreciate you wanting to make some money, but cmon, after the free trial ends and you don't go premium it's useless. I hope you continue to make money thank you anyway ... for the digital equivalent of a paperweight.....thanks for your reply, unfortunately the one that everyone " needs" is the lake and ponds stuff which you insist be part of the premium. good luck in your business.

I feel this is worth 25/year for the maps alone. But I do have to knock off points as I am finding known public areas marked as private. This may be due to our local laws having "private land for public use" and those areas being marked only on DNR maps. Having a way to mark a property for review of public/private use could help your team slowly develop more accurate maps.
