User Reviews

Users like HuntFishNY for in-app purchasing and centralizing license data (tags, expiration, confirmation numbers) and the convenience of digital access. However, the app suffers from repeated login and password issues, glitches and a clunky UI, licenses not appearing after purchase, unreliable harvest reporting, and stringent password changes. These recurring problems undermine reliability and user trust, even though the concept and some successful use cases show potential.
Pros
  • In-app purchase and central license management with details (tags, expiration dates, and confirmation numbers).
  • Digital option: licenses and tags kept on the device for quick reference, reducing need for paper.
  • Some users report quick visibility of purchased licenses in the app, indicating potential when it works.
Cons
  • Frequent sign-in/login failures and password issues; users report being unable to log in or credentials not being recognized.
  • Glitches, navigation problems, and overall instability; described as clunky and unreliable across use cases.
  • Licenses not appearing or not being recognized after purchase; data not syncing or showing up in the app.
  • Harvest reporting features are unreliable or unusable within the app (difficult to submit or errors occur).
  • Rigid password requirements and recovery problems (e.g., 14-character passwords that change yearly).

When you go to purchase a license it will lock you in a perpetual loading screen now. I have had this app for several years and it’s always been a problem. Now it’s pretty much unusable might as well go to your local sporting goods store and get your licenses that way. Even when you try to go online you’ll still get locked in that loading screen hopefully it works for the folks at the sporting goods store but I’ve known them to have problems as well with the system NY State uses.
