User Reviews

The MyWDFW app aims to replace paper licenses with a mobile option and provide quick access to licenses and tags, a goal many users appreciate. However, persistent login and authentication problems, reliability and offline-field issues, and weak support dominate reviews. While some acknowledge the value of a digital licensing solution, most call for substantial fixes and a more stable, responsive release.

Pros

Replaces paper licenses with a mobile license, which reviewers call a clear improvement and convenient.
When login works, the app provides quick access to licenses and tags and is straightforward to use.
The app is a step in the right direction toward streamlined licensing and digital access.

Cons

Frequent login problems, including endless login loops, unknown errors, and inability to log in on multiple devices.
Two-factor authentication and verification codes (texts/emails) often fail or do not work, preventing access.
App stability issues such as freezing, locking up, and not syncing, especially in the field or with poor connectivity.
Poor or unresponsive support and feedback from the agency; perception of rushed release and/or lack of fixes.
Field use is unreliable due to connectivity limitations and intermittent performance when in remote locations.

Won’t log in consistently On my IPhone. It’s a piece of junk app. I can’t wait to try and record a salmon on the catch card.

If you don’t make your account first try, you might lock yourself into a loop of needing a username and password to make an account even if you don’t have either. This makes it very important not to leave halfway through making your account. Genuinely the dumbest federal app I have ever used.

I can validate all of the complaints here that it’s a little annoying to get an account set up/logged into for the first time. You have to make sure your WILD account is set up and verified via the standard web browser first. This is the same system you’d log into to order a license or report crab catch online, so it’s not new. But they seem to want you to log into there and verify your information is correct. Once you do that, it wasn’t hard to get into the app. Honestly, it’s no harder than any of the millions other account log ins we all have to deal with nowadays—banking, cell phone, email, etc. I found the app itself very easy to use, and this will be easier than carrying that huge crumple of plastic paper licenses and catch cards in my wallet. So no more George Costanza wallet.
