## Description

The Texas Outdoor Annual brings hunting, fishing, and boating regulations together in one app. It includes county-by-county hunting season dates, bag limits, means and methods restrictions, game tagging instructions, and the latest TPWD news, plus links to report harvests via the Texas Hunt & Fish app.

It also covers statewide fishing limits, water-body exceptions, hundreds of fishing locations, fish identification, weekly fishing reports, boating safety requirements, licensing and endorsements, and where to purchase licenses online. Some features require internet access, and information is subject to change by TPWD, the Texas Legislature, and/or the federal government.

## Review summary

The app is praised for its user-friendly design and central access to rules and digital licenses, but recurring issues undermine its reliability. Key problems include outdated season data, crashes and freezes, unreliable license storage, and a navigation bug that misroutes 'where to fish' queries. Ads also draw criticism. Core functionality is valuable, but timely updates and stability improvements are needed.

### Pros

- User-friendly interface and easy to navigate
- Rich resources: centralized access to hunting/fishing rules and area-specific information
- Integration with digital licenses and ability to view licenses in-app
- Useful for checking regulations and licensing information in one place

### Cons

- Outdated season data and bag limits; updates lag behind current seasons
- Frequent stability issues: crashes, freezes, and not launching after updates
- License data reliability: saved licenses disappear and must be re-added
- Navigation bug: 'where to fish' directs to the boat ramp section instead of fishing spots
- Ads intrusive in a state-published app
