I used the heck out of this, but with the weekend blocked out, the cost of it, and the fact that the purchase I made last season that allegedly had a free season that would never activate, I'm not using this. Plus, I didn't think it helped at all. The huntcast wasn't accurate at all. It would have a high probably of movement, and nothing. Then, the likelihood of movement dumped and I saw 19 deer and put a tag on a doe. I find it to be nonsense.

I had trouble sharing spots with my hunting partners. The pins they would share came up as a link that always took me to the wind page. It seems like that should work correctly in the basic version. Doesn't really give me a lot of confidence in paying for the app for a more unlocked version.

Horrible on Android. Very unfortunate, it has the potential to blow all the other hunt apps out of the water. On an S23 ultra on the latest OS and the app crashes frequently, weather and dates are always off about a day. Parcel section is bugged, tracking is totally off and just marks massive sight lines across the maps. Flashing screen while trying to get offline maps, takes at least 4 trying to get a map to work offline. With battery optimize off, still won't download. Expensive, not refined

On iPhone, this app is fine. On Android, this app has so many bugs. 1) the hunt cast dates are constantly off by one day- it always thinks I'm a day ahead, so if it's Mon 11/6, it shows that it's Tuesday 11/7. The whole week has this bug. 2) if I click a pin, it brings up and keeps up all the info of the land the pin is on, which gets in the way, and it doesn't go away. 3) wind cast doesn't show wind 4) occasionally I'll click a pin and the whole app crashes . The functionality of the app is bad

Terrible app. Create an account and it doesn't even recognize it's own password it sends me to complete log in process. I have WiFi and no problems connecting to my wifi but yet when I try to log in using Facebook it tells me to check my connection and try again. Cache and temp internet folders are clear. No faults on my end. Do NOT recommend.

The app has taken a major dump. You are unable to delete old blind, stand and walking trails that are no longer in use. You complain under the apps posts but they are ignored. The "predictions" are spotty at best. A stand location that was supposed to be "poor"(11%) I ended up taking out a doe, but the location that was excellent (99%) nothing showed up on the cams during the same time I shot the doe.

Starting off I have the elite that is 120 a year I think is a little high but whatever My biggest complaints are 120$ and you can't even measure a distance?! Can on iPhone can't on android I will be complaining until that gets resolved that was one of my most used features! Secondly accidentally getting backed out of the app or having it crash when you are recording a walking path is one of the most disappointing things because it doesn't auto save every couple seconds losing 5+miles fix it!

It's a good app for planning. I've found it to be accurate up to 70% of the time. When I am in an area without reception the GPS will have full bars but the map will not load. When I mark new scrapes, rubs, game trails the app won't save them unless I have solid cell reception or wifi connection. For the elite version that I pay for I expect this app to work as flawlessly as technologically possible. May switch to On X hunt app.

I want to love this app. The UI is nice, and the Huntcast is a little gimmicky but at least has data to support it's assessment. However, the app constantly crashes, pins temporarily duplicate themselves, and sometimes the map won't load at all (a full restart of the app is required to restore functionality). If the developers can manage to wrangle these issues, I'll happy give 5 stars.

Edited below unhappy again and paying for the app now!!! Very disappointed with the changes. I used the app to help me decide when to be in the woods to hunt. Going to have to find a new app. This really sucks, I am hopeful that it will return to the old format. 11/24/2021 EDIT: ☆☆ I've been very please for the last year. Now that I have the elite version the app is not working correctly! I had property marked and now I get a message " property unavailable" why????
