User Reviews

The Go Outdoors VA app is praised for its simple interface and faster in-app tagging, but repeated issues overshadow the positives. Users report stability problems (crashes, app won’t start after updates), login hurdles requiring frequent re-authentication, licenses failing to sync or display offline, a confusing navigation experience, and licensing tasks (renewals/purchases) that often cannot be completed in-app.
Pros
  • Easy-to-use interface / simple design (repeatedly noted as a strength)
  • Quicker in-app tagging of harvests compared with calling or using the website
Cons
  • Crashes, freezes, and reliability problems (including crashes after updates)
  • Repeated login prompts and a confusing login flow (fingerprint not working, needing to re-log in)
  • Licenses not syncing or showing offline; offline access unreliable
  • Confusing navigation and layout; hard to find information or perform actions
  • Inability to renew or purchase licenses within the app / licensing workflow broken

As some conservation officers have been giving people a hard time about Special Use Permits in VA WMAs, so no need for this app or renewing my access pass. I’ll no longer be visiting VA WMAs.

The layout is confusing and hard to navigate to where you wanna go. The map functions are slow or don’t work at all. They need a little rework
