I only give one star because no stars are not an opption. Ok, so, this app is a good idea. However, the execution is terrible. It updates FOREVER every time I open it. Then, I tried to get regulations for the Columbia River and the app crashes. Of course, I should have known that the same people who bring you the efficiency of the DMV can't get an app right. Can you please try to fix it.

App is functionally useless. Updates for five minutes across high speed internet everytime you open it, and if you don't feel like watching the progress bar slowly creep along and switch tabs it starts all over instead of updating its database in the background. I can't imagine trying to use it without wifi (in the field) acting like that. Quicker just to bookmark WDFW and go there over internet. Ridiculous.
