CDFW License Reviews

I entered my email address and password, says that it is invalid. Works just fine using their website. Please fix!

App works great so far but honestly took them long enough rating it 1/5 cause f ‘em f that’s why

CDFWLicense is garbage. I can’t even login with my account. I’m able to login on the website just fine, but trying to use the same login in CDFWLicense and it fails.

Great idea, just missing my hunting licenses…

Are they that much different than fishing licenses?

It’s a start, but it doesn’t show all my licenses, which for me is very important

Admirable effort for CA to try and join the 21st century, but you still need to carry the physical steelhead card. CDFWLicense is nice and kudos to the team that build it, but it’s not very useful at this point.

However, CDFWLicense says I have no active licenses. Wrong! I have a current, valid hunting and fishing license.

Extremely frustrating how California fish and game has not found a way to clearly show fishing guidelines based on the water you are fishing in. As someone new to fishing this is extremely frustrating

Great that you finally have app bases licenses, almost as advanced, but decade after other western states, but I still have to pack around the hard copy steelhead report card, which totally defeats the purposes of a license on my smart phone. Here’s an idea: if you automate the report card too, you might actually get better, dare I say near real time data reporting in a format that doesn’t require later data transcription into a database, making anglers lives easier. I know, what a concept.

I’d say it a good start but I’d like to be able to tag my harvest via CDFWLicense . If I’m not carrying my physical license, I’m likely not going to carry the physical tag. Texas has had an app and ability to tag your harvest for a while so it’s a possibility and that would auto populate the harvest report. Hope to see this functionality in the near future.

Not bad, no more physical licenses, design need to be improved; also I would like the license to be inside my apple wallet

Nice that it shows my fishing license, wish it showed my hunting license though.

I love that I can access my license through the phone and don’t need a physical copy now. Would be great if you could add the license to your apple wallet.

Very nicely done app. Although I still like having a hard copy of my license for spots that there is no cellphone service. The only thing that would make CDFWLicense better is to report the tides on it.

CDFWLicense works great. All my info was correct and I was able to submit my lobster card on CDFWLicense . Thank you CDFW for bringing us to the 21st century.

App works awesome. I’m so glad they finally did this.

Finally, no more shuffling around to find my license for an hour before each trip. It’s great there is now an app to show your license. Next step in my eyes is a fishing regulation map that is up to date on CDFWLicense that you can download before going to places without service. Also, making the report cards virtual so you can enter and record fish information on the go. I think this would allow for more complete records for CDFW. Thanks for making CDFWLicense !

Was super easy to set up. All my licenses on one app. Hopefully it work on the water. If not I will screenshot each license

Lost my license (again), this saved me 12.95$ for reprint.

Clean interface and was able to add both my fishing licenses. Not that I ever go fishing without bringing the physical ones, but nice to have it on my phone also.

Such an awesome time! Times are changing and boy do I forget my physical license a lot I appreciate this and thanks!

No more physical licenses!!!

Consider adding tidal charts and lunar phases to the main console.

Pretty good app.
