I've never had a problem with it. Freezes once in a blue moon but so do most free apps. Once you figure out how to navigate through all the options it's worth it.

I went to these places to fish and found these places you can't get into to fish. Some places don't even restock their any more. Sometime this app send you on a while goose chase.

Like everything else the NJ Division of Fish and Game does this app is a mess. It does not open. It freezes trying to open it. Did this app get the bacterial disease furunculosis? Better euthanize it like the NJ hatchery brown trout! They never get anything right and this app pretty much sums up how inadequate and poorly run this government agency is. Its 2016 and middle school kids are are making apps that function correctly with GPS capabilities. Yet this app won't work! What a joke!

Let's you know where lakes are and what's in them then when it's hunting season it also lets you know where you can go

It's a good app but can be tricky to navigate around the app sometimes and I think they should upgrade it a bit more often maybe even add like a camera, photo option that identifies what you took a picture of.

I'm impressed with how well it works considering most major companies that throw millions of dollars into their app and it still sucks. Like the weather channel... That app sucked for years until recently and it's still not as good as this one.
