I can't stand I have to turn my location on just to look at the app. also, my location is deep south, our rut isn't until end of Jan. as we were approaching our rut, I changed the calendar to say rut is 23Jan. everything was fine for awhile then we hit "high anticipation " and it skipped all the other phases and went straight to phase 11. this app is mediocre at best and I won't be paying for another year. there are better options out there.

2024 update. Well, I thought they couldn't make it better, I was wrong. Maps are superb with parcel data, wind checks, etc...constantly improving. Keep up the good work guys! It is appreciated! I would give this app 10 stars, if I could. Just excellent in every way possible. When considering the weather capabilities alone, this app would be worth it. Add in the streamlined interface and the experience of the Drury's.....truly priceless. We can't ask for much more as hunters. Thank you guys!
