Ratings and reviews

At first I wasn't sure if I liked the updated version, but so far so good. A very handy reference to keep up to date with all the continually changing regs. My only wish would be that if it senses your location it would just tell you which fish and limits for the sub-region you're in... would require more programming but would make it much more user-friendly.

Pretty good and easy to understand only real problem I've had is some of the regulations don't properly show up like halibut didn't list daily limit and such but one thing which I hope comes eventually is that they make your fishing license valid on the app

Excellent app, great updates, easy to use. Info right where you need it. Still great and easy to use. Thx still the best resource around
