MyODFW 4+

I feel as tho ODFW could learn a thing or two about how to set up a DFW app from WDFG, even if it has its issues. The app has too few features to be anything but an ID card, which never gets checked anyway and all the poachers know it. One of the three times I have ever been checked was when this app first came out. I was fishing Hagg Lake and did not have reception and relied on the app for proof of license. Well, the sheriff asked to see my license, which I was happy to oblige. However the app had reverted to my cloud storage and was inaccessible, which left me without proof of license. Luckily the sheriff was smart enough to realize I was not at fault and we both agreed a paper backup was a good idea. Seems redundant in any case...
Nice try, keep at it and get the app right with more features. Also, issue waterproof paper licenses again, or even ID's that can be ran through a database... SOMETHING, but ODFW is falling short again. Just run all the rec reports through the app, doing great on the tutorial/rec report side of things, saving grace. Maybe use some of the CRBE funds ya'll seem to lose track of to invest in a better app if you won't use it as we all voted for.

I have a youth hunter (and no he does not have his own smart phone, nor will he anytime soon) and it would be nice to store both of our hunting/fishing profiles and tags on the same app on the same phone. If there is a way to do this it isn’t very clear how.

Also, I would like to be able to switch from digital to paper (maybe allow a one time switch back prior to the season starting) to have a better feel for this system. I think a lot of people I talk to would say they don’t trust or want to try this yet. But if switching back was allowed instead of waiting till next year, than more people might give it a shot.

Pay attention to the Login that you’re asked to create for this, so you can Sync your ODFW account with the app system. Seems to work just fine for the most part. You’ll easily create a headache for yourself if you’re not paying attention when asked to create an account. If ones created and you already have an existing odfw account, you’ll most likely end up phoning for help.

Always room for improvement, this app needs another walk-through. I dislike the e-tagging feature, but I’ll ask for a hard copy next year since it cannot be changed once you choose, another thing I dislike.

If I am spending over $100 for a combo tag +harvest card, I should be able to change my choice from “e-tagging to a physical copy” if I do not like the E-tagging.
