Was awesome until now

UPDATE OCT 20, 2017: issue resolved by uninstalling the app followed by reinstalling it. Love this app!

I recommend this to all of my fishing buddies and used it nearly every fishing trip for as long as it has been out. Great for fish ID and for ensuring legality.

As of September 2017, it is no longer working on my iPhone and it does not show up on my downloads list or update list. Restarted my phone and it still does not show in the list. When I try to open the app on my phone it will not open, only blinks closed immediately after selecting it.

Really hope the glitch gets resolved since it has been an invaluable app for so many fisherman. I believe it helps all of us to follow the rules set forth by fisheries management, thereby ensuring it is there for future generations.

Was amazing app!

This app was my go to app for fishing and spearfishing in Florida State and Federal waters. Prior to the update, I could set the map on my normal home area, Panama City Beach and the app would always open to that location and load species and rules for that region. After update, it automatically sets my location to Ga State Waters because that is where I live. I have to reset the map and when I go into a fish and look at regulations, it defaults back to Ga State waters (my home location) This has almost rendered the app more frustrating than useful now. Previously it was the best rules and regulations app I’d ever used. Now it is just a frustration having to reset the map location after each regulation view. Please fix this so you can set a map location and it will stay. Let me choose when to move the map. Since I fish and dive 95% of time in PCB, I’d like for it to stay there rather than reverting back to Ga State waters where I permanently live. So sad to see this happen to an amazing app!

thanks for writing in. we will fix this in an upcoming update

Could possibly be awesome

It could possibly be awesome if more effort was put into it. I saw an episode of DMFD where the creator had it advertised on the side of his boat... in florida, and the florida rules seem kind of undone. A few pictures missing. Its quite easy to get a picture of any fish anywhere.

Also, since its a fishing rules app, i dont understand the need for things to have to scroll through like manatees, coral, whales, sea turtles. Im pretty sure no one needs to look up if they can keep that humpback whale they foul hooked :-/ . it seems like a waste of space as there is already tons of species of fish here in florida to have to identify, why clutter it more with unnecessary pointless info to have to navigate through..... ive seem the creator on DMFD ( thats how i found it) he seems like a logical guy. not understanding the whale/turtle/manatee thing. Im glad it was free.
