1. 2/5Love the company, mapping software is not there yet

   First I would like to say that I love GoHunt a a company. I love the insider, articles, store and podcast. It truly has made me a more effective hunter. That is why I am disappointed in the mapping software. It is great until the time I have to take it offline. I download my maps and head to the field, once out of cell service is when the trouble starts. Either my app won’t open, takes a long time to load, does not load maps at all and can’t keep track of where I am if I lock my phone. Yes, I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and worked on location settings. I work in the tech field and am pretty savvy with these things. Unfortunately, I just cannot get offline maps to function as they should. I use another navigation app that has never let me down and must stick with it until these problems are solved. Note, I will continue to buy the full bundle because I like gohunt so much and hope in the future the mapping software is better.

2. 5/5It’s really good and my favorite but

   The function of the app is great just a couple things that could be addressed is when using the distance measuring tool to see how long a hike you’ll have there is no undo button especially when using a touch screen it’s very easy to accidentally make a mark way off and then have to restart at the beginning to fix the mistake also I purchased an iPad mostly for escouting and it won’t let me use the whole screen just a strip down the middle which is about a third of the available screen it’s not a big issue still bigger view then my iPhone but was hoping to be able to utilize the whole screen over all it’s really good and I still really enjoy it especially the the three D is really awesome and being able filter the different elevations is great

3. 4/5Great App Overall

   GoHunt has been very easy to learn to use. It has some amazing features and I will continue to use this platform. If the GoHunt team were ever to ask me, I would suggest adding a couple features. 1. I used another platform before (IHunter) and loved it because I could click on any location and it would give me information on the unit. The information I have found that GoHunt does not include is the season and season dates. This was always such a nice feature to just be able to click on and double check. Hunting for elk and you see a grouse, oh yep it is in season. Great! 2. I would adjust the offline mapping feature. I prefer the cache feature on other platforms for off line maps. Instead of having to previously download sections of the map to take into the back country, you are able to cache what you have looked at when online (need to make sure the picture you want to see offline is what you have looked at online). I have found more Beni fit in the cache option, as you may want a large area cached to make sure your roads to access is available to you and then zoom in to get closer details on areas you are interested in hunting. A lot of download space is wasted when you have to download a whole section and it may not be everything needed. I had a great example happen to me recently; our access road was one way in/ out and a fire was nearing the entrance/ exit. We were forced out of the areas our plan A-E were in. Now we didn’t have mapping downloaded to go to the next location we went to.

4. 4/5Room for improvement for IPad users

   There’s a lot to like about GoHunt. To be honest, I’d give the app less stars but I’m a big fan of the company. I love the podcast, films and articles. And because of all the things they’re doing outside of the app I hate to lower their overall score. But, It’s not the most intuitive platform for me. as I learn to use it I’m enjoying it more. The research tools are great but I needed someone smarter than me to explain how to use it. Draw odds are not for the upcoming draw, but can definitely be helpful in deciding how to apply. Seems obvious now that it’s been explained to me. I dont like that a lot of the layers disappear in the apps 3D mode. I utilize the land owner info quite a bit and it’s very out of date. My biggest issue so far is that as an IPhone and IPad user I am very limited in my full screen e scouting. The app does not go full screen on the IPad and the websites mapping doesn’t really work on the IPad. I’m going to pick up a laptop because I’ve been told that the desktop mapping and e scouting platform is great. But, I’m bummed I need a new device to get more out of my membership. I hope the folks at GoHunt take all this feedback back and make an undeniably great product for everyone.

5. 2/5Worse over time

   I was very excited about GOHUNT as an alternative to ON X. My gripes with the app include, waypoints not being saved in the location they were originally made, waypoints not being transferred accurately between online and the app (might save a waypoint on the website as a glassing point, but it shows up on the app as just a waypoint). The app does not continue to track location after your screen has slept if you do not have an active track going. This is really annoying, especially if you’re trying to find a turn off while driving. You literally have to close the app completely and then reopen it. The app has been crashing regularly for me recently. Also, now the app also ask’s me if I want to save the track from the previous session, even though I did not have an active track while I was previously on the app. I feel like this could be a very useful app, but it definitely has some growing pains.
