Go Outdoors North Carolina Reviews

GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina is useless it only gives you one of your licenses and not the whole nine yards. Unless you have to figure out how to add your hippa and big game tags for it also, which is stupid.

NC wildlife and game should be shamed of their self. How did they expect older men and women that don’t even have smart phones to be forced to go to this website and download an app when they don’t even know what app is

I cannot add my lifetime sportsman’s license to GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina and there is no links to help you or show you how to operate GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina so it’s basically useless. Would give a 0 out of 5 stars but that’s not an option.

Don’t waste your time. Just do everything on the computer. This is the most buggy app I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. Leave it to the State of North Carolina to approve this sorry piece of crap

When I click to add my license information GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina freezes and had to be shut down. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling…. same issue.

by Erik Shepard

Buttons are hidden to prevent advancing through license renewal, not all information carried over from the migration of data, so I had to re-enter a lot of information. This is still in the beta stages and I would recommend not using it for a couple of years until they work out the bugs. They do not take AMEX either.

Every time I try to add my license it freezes up and no matter how many times I restart or re-install GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina it continues to do it. At least I have my paper license in my wallet. It would be nice to use the “tag without internet” feature because one spot that I hunt in as no cell service. Hopefully this will get fixed soon

Can’t find half of what I’m looking for in GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina , not to mention you can’t add your BGHRC (managed to do that by accident) easily. Nothing is easy and for the older hunters this will be a nightmare. You have to repeatedly log in every time you click something new. Haven’t found any help videos for how to get your license and report card loaded.

GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina states that it is compatible with iOS 13 and up. My dad (74) has an iPhone 6s Plus. His iOS is 15.7.8.

GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina loaded fine. When I went to sync his license to the phone (under the “add another license” tab, GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina will either freeze and not allow the screen to continue OR the tab itself will simply freeze. Either way, nothing happens.

I can log into my dads account and see his lifetime info. That’s great. But if you aren’t gonna send out the paper licenses like in the past (especially for the older hunters) and you attempt to force them to go digital, please, at least ensure that GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina itself is thoroughly debugged.

This old iPhone is literally the ONLY tech he owns. No laptop, printer, fax, or even satellite dish. Getting him to own this and “learn it” was no small undertaking. But he tries and is even savvy enough for some social media.

Personally I’m a fan of GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina . Works great on my iPhone 13 Pro. And I understand the growing pains of starting a new way of doing things. But let’s not forget that we have to still take care of our elders, even when it comes to tech.

Thanks.

GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina locks up when the add license is clicked. Tried restarting and reinstalling GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina . All other features work great. I would rate this 5 stars if the add license worked. This is a key feature of GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina .

by Ctwalke

Me and my wife both downloaded GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina her works fine and I can’t add my license, it freezes every time. I have a updated iPhone 7 Plus and hers is an 8 plus.

Trying to checkout with my hip certification and big game tags but the checkout button literally won't work. Glad I wasn't in a pinch and needing to tag something. Useless app.

by SunDrow

Laggy freezing and wants you to login after you login. The whole point of apps is to make access easer not to make it a game of hide and seek while hopefully not lagging out in a freeze up. How about sending me my actual card and tags like I got for the last 30 years. How about sending me a metal card with my lifetime license and automatically sending out my new tags or automatically updating them with out me having to try to navigate this monstrosity of an app that runs like an internet site not set up for a phone do I do not have to zoom all the way in to read it.

GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina freezes when you try to add a license, really it’s good for nothing without your license information?

by Stupid Apshole

I am doing my part to research the always changing hunting and fishing regulations and now GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina has broken links and the ads make the regulations portion completely unusable. Good thing we have lots of southern yellow pines because I’m going back to my printed regulations. Epic failure NC

App freezes when I try to add a license
Please fix

by Jfk6789

Nice to see NC Wildlife carrying their abysmal record of mismanagement into the technological world. Can’t even add a license without freezing as many others say. What a joke.

by OGBakAttak

App freezes when trying to add my license. Reinstalled, same issue.

by Jamesreese11

Absolutely awful needs a new software this is absolutely ridiculous

by ADR177

Old version worked fine. New update will not load on my phone. I deleted GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina and now it still will not load. GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina needed fixing by the state because it was working with no problem and that wasn’t good enough.

by JengoFett1517

It’s awesome when you need to report a harvest and GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina won’t work. I don’t have a paper license so out of pocket on my hunting license number. GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina is trash. Always print your license. I was dumb to trust GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina

by Coco Lover1

Everytime I click on the regulations for fishing it keeps loading pop up ads. When I close them it sends me back to the home page and I can't read the regulations. My boating and fishing license should provide enough revenue for an ad free app.

Hi, the DL State field is inactive.

by Sweetkahne

I don’t like the fact there isn’t an actual photo copy of my license on GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina .

by Why Cant There Be Two Richies?

Can we please get an update to fix that not being able to add an existing license please? It’s clearly an issue with several people complaining of experiencing freezing when clicking “Add another license” while trying to get their info added into GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina .

by User6244167

Honestly, most of the people giving it 1-star have not given GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina a true chance. It’s still fairly new and launched in July, so yes there’s room to improve but give it some time. Also, you can call Go Outdoors and ask for a walkthrough if you’re having difficulty. They are more than welcome to help their customers and make it easier to navigate. If something isn’t clear enough then usually you would call or look around for help. This isn’t anything different - just ask for help.

by Nickdanger84

I really enjoy GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina for the information you can get. It’s a great thing to click through in the tree stand. The one complaint I have is that you don’t have access to your tags. It would be excellent to be able to reference the tag numbers when reporting a harvest.

by LtBJtX

Even though my app has updated I still can not see the sunrise and sunset. I love GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina for many reasons as it is easy to tag a harvested animal. I can always look at the sunrise and sunset on the weather app. Just would be nice to use on GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina as well. I’m worried if I uninstall and redownload GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina I will not be able to put my stuff back up there as I have seen in previous reviews and I won’t be able to access the rest of my tags. Other then that, I love it. Very easy to direct through and very straight forward. A lot of information for some one willing to learn the regulations

Just tried it bought my licenses and put in for special hunt. No problem very easy

by Aircopa

Just installed and added my license without any issues. Seems to work quick and easy. Nice update.

by FlardaFish01

Great App! Can store my licenses and my friends. The toolkit is nice. It has feeding periods and sunrise /sunset times.

by Beachauctioneer

NC Wildlife keeping up with the times is great.

I first was worried about GoOutdoorsNorthCarolina but I am very pleased with it
