★★★★★
I have been using this app for several years, and it has not disappointed me. I check it to see where the fish are, and when a place that I fish restocked. It's a great app!
★★★★★
I like this app because all about the outdoors and I know fishing especially
★★★★★
Easy access to trout stocking info! Just got an update, and it shows my fishing license and trout stamp. That's a nice feature.
★★★★★
Great information and links and contact responses. Very positive and compassionate in desire for quality in services to Public dedication and specific easy contacts to resolve in moment in property needs or general information for exploration and adventures with safety in mind
★★☆☆☆
Convenient for showing fishing license and that's it. None of the maps work, this app is a waste of memory.
★★☆☆☆
I was just looking for a few simple answers. Couldn't find my topics. Plus no idea who to contact. I am a personal assistant for a disabled man. He loves to fish. Where looking to see if he gets a discount for his license. Only found discounts if your military. Or a veteran. Also, I am female and in my 60’s. Would I have to buy a year license just to try and fish to see if I liked it?
★★☆☆☆
All external links are now broken - information (maps, stocking schedules, rules/regulations) can be found from web browser, but the links in the app are broken.
★★☆☆☆
When viewing maps in the app, we should be able to launch into Google Maps by touch screening the waypoints in the app. You're better off using the PFBC website than using this app.
★★☆☆☆
Bought my fishing and trout license and the print link wouldn't work, took a screenshot of my receipt, someone help please
