Fish | Hunt FL Reviews

FWC new app is useless!
Navigating this new app isn’t what you would expect and finding information is very annoying and it becomes necessary to stop and open your browser and go to the website in order to get the information needed. FishHuntFL should have allowed for better access than this piece of Ill designed
garbage does.

Can't print permits. Only shows hunt numbers and not wma names. Dates of hunts are incorrect. Old system was much better. Why would you make a change during hunting season that does not work. As stated in previous review should have been fully functional before release. Fl is making harder to hunt public lands and obtain permits. Should be able to see license and permit detail and print your quota permit from there. Similar to old system. The web site is also functioning the same as FishHuntFL . FishHuntFL is basically just a shortcut to the online site. This new update also caused hunters to miss a week of applying for reissue permits. Very aggrevating all the way around.

Would give it negative stars if I could. App is nothing more than a clumsy browser which interacts with the main FWC website, which is also garbage. Nothing in FishHuntFL you can’t access from Safari. Worse, I tried creating an account for my minor child, and it tells me they are a non-resident, despite having the same address that I do. This cannot be edited via FishHuntFL or the website. And I cannot purchase a resident fishing license for them now. And also cannot create a different account for them because it requires social security number (another security risk). The whole enterprise is a piece of crap.

FishHuntFL is terrible!! I just need to buy a fishing license and you bunch of money hungry punks put everything in my cart. Just go back to the way it was so I it is easy to purchase a license. It you cost my son $5 for a hard card that he did not want due to just trying to buy a fishing license before we got to the lake. Y’all need to tighten up or put it the way it was!!

1) No advantage as far as I can tell. Just use the website. Not integrated with Apple Pay, wallet or anything else Apple.
2) Requiring full social security number for a fishing license is very irresponsible. Not a comment on FishHuntFL itself, more the Florida process.
3) otherwise works fine.

Nice that you can have your fishing license available. Good boating regulation info, but not being able to locate a boat ramp is ridiculous! When I try to access "Find a boat ramp" it says, "the virtual display does not allow content to be displayed." Then why have the selection? Total waste! Really? I hope they can fix this and make it usable!

FishHuntFL used to be great and simple to use! I used it all the time but now its junk ever since version 3.4.1 like a year now it does not load pages and gets stuck loading. whatever y’all did, take it off and this will fix itself

P.s I give 2 star because FishHuntFL used to be so great and I reminisce on those times I can check the tides that easy, without going on internet or maybe I want to see the sunrise that day ... .. . Meh ..

Anyways y’all have a good one

I am not sure why FCW decided to completely rework it’s website, but it the new version has never been overly user friendly, and given that FishHuntFL is just a portal to the website, it is understandable that FishHuntFL is just as frustrating as the main site. I do really like being able to sync my license and quotas on FishHuntFL - I have always thought that was a great feature, but my goodness FWC, clear everything else up.

by Needs A Ton More Work

The best thing about it is that it syncs your permit. Other than that it is no better than the Notes app + a clunky browser. To be a useful app it needs to at least get: the ability for full account management, purchase/upgrade/renew permits, wallet support, and offline mode (who has service in the middle of nowhere?)

by BrewDude694u

Excellent app that I use, while fishing, for accessing licensing information and records, as well as tide and seas information. However, many features are not accessible when you are offshore, fishing, in an area without cellular coverage. So, when you're out in the reef, you do not have access to fish ID pictures from the linked fishing handbook, license information and size/quota information. These would be very convenient to have actually downloaded into a user's phone, for offshore retrieval. Additionally, FishHuntFL would benefit greatly by having a fish identification library with large photos, rather than only relying on the small bitmaps in the linked regulation pamphlets...

Please review your app I currently have a 5 year license & was logged in FishHuntFL it continues to say I don’t have an account when I do have an account some one has hacked this also I want to renew my 5 year freshwater license i don’t need a snook or lobster permit somebody needs help creating a decent app of I can just go to Walmart

by Bobbyhaning

I think this is a great app for anything marine life regarding fishing, hunting, lobstering, etc but I think there’s an issue with the identification of the salt water fish. Some of the saltwater fish have an identification picture but the others don’t. An example would be the black grouper. The black grouper has a picture of it so we know what it looks like when identifying it but the other grouper and some of the other fish don’t have a picture. How are we supposed to know what we caught? It’s important so we know what type it is to determine the regulations for them. Also there should be an improvement on the picture charts of the saltwater fish because the picture charts keep redirecting me to safari and then the FWC app redirects me to the homepage

by Kluminator

It’s just a copy of the license except digital

by Gunnygordon

So far it’s working as advertised. I was able to purchase a saltwater fishing license using it. I like the layout which is easy to navigate and all of the helpful information it contains.

by Foolfoolfoolfoolfool

I had trouble buying my license with FishHuntFL at first, but finally figured it out. The roll down menu confused me. You need to touch the words on the menu itself to enter. I was looking for a separate button. Once I got past this, it worked fine.

by Ljdgkadbsg6382

FishHuntFL won’t allow me to put in my birthday. It always redirects the date back to the current date or today’s date. Please make it where we can type the date manually.

Update: Now I get it. You have to change the year first and then put in month and day.

by Florida Sportsman

I use this often. Keeping up with regulations can be tricky to say the least and
FishHuntFL makes it easier to access. Updating and purchasing licenses is easy. Would like to see downloadable regulations. Also the WMA brochures only open the first page and cannot view the rest of the pdf. Please fix this. This is important for quick reference while hunting. I use fishing regulations as well. Would like to be able to save the PDFs to my phone so they can be organized and viewed in the native apple app and printed through AirPrint. Please update often and keep up the good work.

by Egoistic Stub

Love having my license stored. I wish there was an offline mode to store a recent copy of fishing regulations, etc.. Also when FishHuntFL pulls data from the website some pages do not display correctly. (I’m on iphone 6+ running ios 11.2.6 for bug reporting purposes)

After looking through other reviews for FishHuntFL, one mentioning formatting errors from 3 years ago. It would be nice to see this issue fixed as navigating fishing regulations is too difficult. Luckily there is the workaround with the ‘view full website’ button but at that point it’s much easier to just navigate the website from your own browser of choice and not from within the confines of FishHuntFL window.

by Shane Lancaster

I love FishHuntFL. The biggest thing for me is the ability to sync your most up to date licenses through FWC. No longer have to worry about bringing that flimsy fishing license receipt with you on the boat. Just show the cop FishHuntFL !

by Sicksecbeamer

Updated FishHuntFL and lost the noaa sea state and tides information, Or were these removed?

Edit: I guess I had a older verison as when I would go To toolbox at the time it would just open a fwc webpage.

Now it actually has selectable actions when going to toolbox. Definitely change rating to solid 4-5 stars!

by 🤫😪😴😶

Don’t know what’s going on — I have not purchased anything from FWC last time I checked being over 65+did you hear me 65+ don’t anything from the state —nothing but my federal duck stamp because being 65+ does have it quirks

by 0924 Speaking

Cannot get app to work half the time, also does not let me add any of my licenses so I can view them. Continually says cannot find customer info due to unable to connect with server. Dissatisfied!!!!!!

by RobsterMobsterTheLobster

FishHuntFL has good intentions and gives users a fast and efficient platform to report wildlife offenses. However, they desperately need to add an option to include photographic/videographic evidence. Otherwise, it makes the entire process pretty pointless. PLEASE FIX.

by Mcheseter

On my iPhone 7 with 11.2.6 the fishing times and sun rise and sun set do not work. Even though I have location services on. FishHuntFL support link in FishHuntFL Store goes to a page not found.

by Cokebear2020

I’m not saying this is the only problem with FishHuntFL but it makes using FishHuntFL worse than just going to the website. When you look up regulations for fish the tables that give the breakdown on types of fish and their size regulations it is impossible to scroll the screen to get all the information. I would really like to be able to see the full regulation table in FishHuntFL .

Like I said not the only problem but it is the one that is most glaring from the way I use it.

by Saucey1981

It would be cool if we could put our license in our Apple wallet. Just sayen.

Really good like it a lot! Valuable information and very handy!
