About this app

The Alaska Department of Fish & Game realizes that people are now accustomed to carrying a lot of information and credentials on their mobile device. This mobile app is designed for anglers and hunters in Alaska and designed to enhance pre-trip planning and in-field experience. It provides access to the information and services needed to follow applicable hunting and fishing regulations. Currently, that includes the following:

• Display licenses, permits and big game locking-tag records – The mobile app allows you to purchase and view your hunting, fishing, trapping, and most combination licenses. You can also obtain big game locking-tag records, commercial crewmember licenses, hunting permits, harvest tickets, and some personal use fishing permits. All licenses, permits, and big game locking-tag records are valid to carry and display to enforcement in the field on your mobile device.

• View Hunting and sport fishing regulations – The mobile app allows you to view all current hunting regulations (including some personal use regulations) for the entire state. Additionally, you can view hunting regulations based on your physical location, search locations statewide, and download maps and regulations for offline use. In the future, the mobile app will include support for sport fishing regulations.

• Record Harvest – The mobile app allows you to record hunting and fishing harvests in the field and report some personal use fishing harvests.

• Sport fish species identification – Additional features include separate sections for a species identification guide complete with images and text descriptions of commonly targeted sport fish species; definitions, regional and statewide methods and means, prohibited acts and other necessary regulatory content that is not displayed at site specific or sub-levels.

Ratings and reviews

App is horrible. I'd die if I was required to use it in the field. Offline maps are a ruse... you can download them... directly into the bit bucket. Even the very helpful and engaging support staff - via email only - can't tell you how to use them. Best you get is "log out and back in" which does absoletely nothing. App operation in airplane mode (i.e. as if off grid) is very problematic. I'll carry paper copies of my licenses and use OnX for offline maps instead.

Excellent app. Has all the information you need, especially having the registration handy. would be most Excellent if you had access while not on a network.

Just doesn't work. Every single time I've tried to get a new license or tag, it doesn't show up. It makes you sign in again and then says "fetching user data" forever until you die. I can only get it to show new documents if I delete the app and reinstall it. I'll stick with paper.
