I really like it a lot and I love having the hunting & fishing regulations & lake fish size limits right at my fingertips. "BUT" it can be hard to find some things. For example: The age of your black bear, or the document for my grandson's citation bluegill. (Which by the way, I still have not found so I can print it off for him.) There is other thing's that are hard to find too, but you get the idea. Thank for the opportunity to comment!!! Sincerely, Craig Vandergriff

Great convenience to access all the information on hunting fishing boating regulations. Love the feeding time chart. Plus being able to have all license in digital form takes some bulk out of the wallet! My only dislike is how much the cost to hunt and fish has gone up in last 30 years not to see a significant management of the waters and forests we hunt. Everything is still as it was 30+ years ago. Mainly in Shenandoah and Frederick Counties. Trout stocking isn't a great as it was either.

A recent update has made the license image unreadable due to its small size. It was previously working fine. I know it's surprising that a government agency would mess up something that was working well, but hey.... it's so hard to read now that I question its usefulness. Also, the app is named "GoOutdoorsVA" but would better be named "GoHunt&FishVA" since its really only aimed at people who are hunting or fishing (or boating, which is commonly associated with fishing...). Previous versions did a good job at giving license information, and I used the app last year to check in deer and to buy a license, so it worked for that, but it's not an app for hiking or birding, for example -- which are other reasons that people go outdoors. So it should be properly named, and readable.

Our most recent version of the app is available in the Play Store. This version has reintroduced the zoom buttons on the license page. Our app does have a "View" section where you can find birding and wildlife trails, Wildlife Management Areas, and different outdoor events. Thank you for your feedback! -JG
