Official Florida Fish and Wildlife app providing digital licensing, regulations access, and location-based tools for anglers and hunters. Streamlines outdoor preparation and compliance for Florida's recreational community.

Detailed Review

Fish | Hunt FL represents the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's digital initiative to modernize outdoor recreational management. This iOS application serves as a centralized platform for licensing, regulation compliance, and field assistance, positioning itself as an essential tool for Florida's hunting and fishing enthusiasts. The app eliminates traditional paperwork through its integrated licensing system, allowing users to purchase, renew, and digitally store fishing and hunting credentials directly through their mobile devices. The application's core functionality revolves around three primary components: digital licensing management, regulatory documentation, and geolocation services. Users can instantly access their current licenses, review species-specific regulations and bag limits, and utilize location-aware features that provide relevant information based on their current position. The geo-locating tools prove particularly valuable for identifying approved hunting zones, fishing boundaries, and conservation areas while in the field. User experience demonstrates a practical interface designed for quick access to critical information. The layout prioritizes functionality over aesthetic appeal, with clear section divisions for licenses, regulations, and tools. Real-world usage patterns show highest engagement during license purchase periods, seasonal regulation changes, and active outdoor excursions where quick regulatory reference is necessary. The digital license storage feature addresses the common pain point of physical document management during outdoor activities. User feedback trends indicate strong appreciation for convenience factors, though suggestions for expanded functionality emerge consistently. Multiple five-star reviews from 2023-2025 highlight the digital license accessibility, with SeaCraft23 noting on May 12, 2023: 'So much easier to find my license now!' The review from SRBelsches on July 26, 2024 suggests potential enhancement: 'Can we add our boating safety education id card to this app? That would be a great addition.' Similarly, Woods&Water's September 16, 2024 review praises the regulatory organization for helping manage complex season dates. The application demonstrates clear strengths in streamlining bureaucratic processes and providing immediate access to essential information, though its utility remains specifically tied to Florida's regulatory environment. Limitations include platform exclusivity to iOS devices and lack of integration with additional safety certifications. Ideal use cases involve pre-trip preparation, in-field regulation verification, and license management for both occasional and serious outdoor enthusiasts operating within Florida's jurisdiction.

This app is awesome it gives people access to fishing and hunting licenses at hand! It’s rare to catch some species so if you catch a keeper it’s easy to go on to the app and buy a permit when needed. Such as for snook. I appreciate the effort you guys put into this app. Never really dealt with tags or permits for game animals other than fish so consider my comment regarding the fishing aspect of the app!

Sunrise and moon info by location is awesome. I use it all the time, even outside for Florida. The tides and seas are also useful. Great features! Sunrise and moon info by location is awesome. I use it all the time, even outside for Florida. The tides and seas are also useful.

The app will display my license, but won’t sync my quota hunts. This used to work and is very useful when being checked by FWC officers. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled multiple times. Can we get this fixed? Update: this issue has been resolved with a new version of the app, all working now. Thank you.

I use the feeding time tool every time I go out fishing. It does seem to have pretty good accuracy on when the fish are feeding. I don’t quite understand what the stars are for, maybe perhaps the quality of the fishing day? But I really do enjoy using this app. Great app I use the feeding time tool every time I go out fishing.
