Go Outdoors SD 12+

Not Accessible or Fully Functional

This app although good in concept does not fully work as is should. There are fields you can not use and do not display that you must answer. An example is dual verification through text message you are supposed to enter in a number but there is not a visible field to enter anything. Without the ability to use auto fill functions in that spot you cannot verify yourself. This is not the only place where this kind of thing happens. Additionally there are things that are required that are not stated to be required and they dump information as you try to submit applications. Not a well thought out and usable app as it has many bugs. You can’t copy and paste into fields and the keyboard doesn’t always appear so have fun trying to use it

All but useless

This could be a really effective app, but it is so poorly executed that it’s basically useless. You can use it to buy passes into Parks. The information booklets are useful and can be downloaded which is nice. However, the map functions are just terrible. The legend does not give you information, you cannot click to get information on any of the areas that are highlighted.. You cannot download sections of the map because it errors out every time you try. Tons of the area we fish and hunt do not have cell service.. You have to be able to download to make this useful. Quality assurance, clearly lacking when this was elevated.

Good concept terrible execution

Good concept terrible execution.. the idea of no longer carrying a paper license is great but unfortunately this app doesn’t display them anyways. When you click on “digital backpack” to view your licenses it takes you to a log in which fails every time. I was just on the website so I know I have the correct credentials. The error message is very generic so hard to say what the actual issue is. I’ve tried this on multiple occasion too so definitely not a matter of the site / app being down for maintenance. No updates on the App Store in over 2 years, so I’ll just confirm for anyone wondering - it’s a 1 star average for a reason.
