Needs to be more user friendly

by Smithfan147

I like that the Iowa DNR finally has an app but it needs to be more user friendly. Especially when it comes to using the map and different layers. Wish you could drop way points and save locations or share them with friends. What about enabling your GPS to track your location when on public land!? The people that created GoOutdoorsIA should take a look at On X Hunting app and take some notes.

Requires internet to display license

by Mimshot

GoOutdoorsIA doesn’t work in the real world. It WILL NOT display your licenses without internet so if you’re up a trail or in the middle of a lake better forget GoOutdoorsIA and bring a paper license.

I was really surprised it doesn’t store your licenses the way the airline apps store your tickets.

Also the purchase license functionality is just a wrapper around the mobile site so easier to use that.

Hard to see info

by Frustrated2now

Chat icon doesn’t work and is always in the way when trying to get info. Let’s you enter contact info and nothing else. Poor app for phone. Nice that it displays license info. And that’s about it.

Needs fixing

App crashes. Can’t open

Not Impressed

by Cachappmania

I just bought a license and though it syncs, I still do not see my card. I have the confirmation email so I know I paid for it.

Good app and idea, still showing last years info

by Tango7982

Hunting Seasons are still showing for 21/22.

Would be handy if GoOutdoorsIA was updated with the most current hunting season information and regulation book.

Better than having to carry your paper license

by VuckoBeograd

I pike the fact I don’t really have to carry my license with me since I have it on GoOutdoorsIA.
I am glad I can renew the license thru GoOutdoorsIA as well.
