Reviews for HuntStand: GPS Maps & Tools

I've used this app for years. For the most part I liked it. I purchased the pro version 2 years ago. When spending the money I expected more. Unfortunately that was not the case. The new update is even worse. While tracking myself in the woods I cannot use my phone for anything else or it stops tracking me. Also you cannot mark waypoints without stopping the track and then start a new one. After updating my info did not transfer to my laptop and had to start all over. I'm now looking at onx.

This is the worst app update I've ever experienced. Everything used to be so simple. The maps looked so clean. Now the icons are way too large and cartoon looking. I used to be able to do so much with one or two clicks that I'm now digging through menus for. Bring back the old huntstand. There was a reason I chose this over Onx, but it's now so bad that I'm going back to Onx. Not only is the new interface awful, but it changed the color of most of my trails and waypoints and deleted map outlines

First of all, the program uses Google Maps, which is terrible, and the graphics are terrible. All I received after creating a membership and looking through the tools was a series of notes outlining each item. No matter what I choose, for whatever reason, it stopped and allowed me to utilize the tools. My only guess is it was trying to get me to purchase the pro version! Now that the tools are working, I will check it out today, and “I’ll be back” with the skinny.

It would be 5 stars - except the new update has made it glitchy, slow loading, and often gets the compass wrong. The older version was spot on with navigating in the woods and now I find myself walking in circles often. Also, when you to mark "my location " the mark will pin 20-35 yards away from my exact location. Now, navigating the new app is confusing and sometimes overwhelming. We are hunting in the woods, we don't need anything fancy- we want it reliable and easy to use in the field.

As what others have said. Tracking is difficult to use now in the background. You will lose tracking if you try to do anything other than tracking yourself. Pinning and map layers are also difficult to navigate now and isn't the same as it used to be. I have been using the app since 2013. Now I will make the change to onX because huntstand has downgraded to an app not useful for hunting. I will only keep huntstand because I have all my spots in the app. Don't waste your time with huntstand !!!

I have been using huntstand for a lot of years and you have totally ruined it for me. It used to be so easy to use and didn't constantly want you to turn on my location. No means No, I don't want my location turned on unless I need it to be on to save a location. The wind direction completely sucks, marking locations suck. Give me my old Huntstand back or I'm done paying for this app. I have used Onx for years also and always preferred huntstand until now. You suck now!!!

Up until the last update, it used to be a good app. But apparently, some braindead moron decided to "improve it" Now, when you are on the edge of your cell phone reception, it takes FOREVER to use it because it keeps trying to pull up the weather b4 anything else. In addition, the "turn on location" popup just keeps coming up, just in case it wasn't taking FOREVER. OBNOXIOUS INFURIATING! And all of the markers now are about 4 times larger, so they cover up everything. FIRE THAT PROGRAMER!

almost useless! after big update app sometimes doesn't show markers. direction indicator never seems to work. when placing a marker at my location, the marker is sometimes 100 yds away!? My position marker jumps around constantly. Really wish they would either dix the app or roll it back to the earlier version.

This used to be a great alternative to OnX. It was very user friendly without too many demands. Finding tools like distance markers and property info were a breeze. However, since they have re-vamped the app, it is very difficult to maneuver through, the maps consistently re-zero on one of your hunt areas instead of where you were trying to look before. The most annoying thing for me now is the location icons that pop up 3 at a time. You have to close them out one by one.

I've been using HuntStand for several years. This used to be a phenomenal app before they 'updated' it, adding so much unnecessary fluff to the basic mapping features they once had. When the updates took place, I lost several of my saved hunting areas, which equated to hours upon hours of boots-on-the-ground scouting I'll never get back. Customer support told me they're "looking into it, and we'll be in contact"....and that was 6 months ago. I haven't heard anything from them.

have been paying for huntstand for 3 years now and use it regularly, weekly for property information. the last 6 months seems to have gone downhill quickly and I cannot see property information anymore. app keeps saying I need to upgrade no matter how many times I restart the app or delete and re-download the app per the reccomendation of support team. then it keeps getting finicky and says I need to upgrade or just won't do anything at all

This app was awesome when it first came out. It seems like after every update it's gotten worse and worse. Also, I used an old email I don't have access to and it's still charging me today. I have no way of canceling my payments, changing my email, or doing anything. I am not sure how it's still charging me because the card on my old account doesn't even exist anymore but it still is. I contacted HuntStand and they would not help me and said it's a Google Play issue

Been a customer from the beginning but I will not be any longer. You guys are going in the wrong direction, price increases again, then the recent app changes are horrible on top of that. The worst part is spending hours to make all the markers on the maps to get everything set up just to have them auto delete when they decide to do a new update.

I have used this app for a few years paying $9.99 this year and previously. Now I see on the Play Store the basic app is free! ( The new version 8.0.47 is a train wreck. I can't get the "track path" feature to work at all. It used to be great. Attempts at getting support are bewildering if you use the mail contact. 9/17/25 I have since been contacted that the development team has updated the app. Initial test of the Track Path feature went well. I have upgraded to 4 star, from 1.

I've used this App since 2015... it now officially sucks. It was great and the computer web version still works fine. However the mobile App is not allowing me access to the data ive collected since 2015...every animal harvested, my stand locations, pictures... you name it- nothing. extremely disappointed. the App is showing my land and correct name and account- just not allowing me access on mobile version. I have several hunting Apps and this was my original and go to- no longer.

I understand I'm a bit more rural, and a lot of stuff up my way is a bit out of date, but once you get out of town, there are no property lines at all. function of the app is weird, you can't really just explore around the area, and when you are looking around, any misclick and you're back to the home screen and have to manually find where you were again. To make markers and paths, you HAVE TO make a hunt area. On-X was way better and way simpler to use.

Just cancelled my subscription after many years. Newer version isn't great. I've been using this app for years and it's been a good one, but at some point since last hunting season it got a major facelift and I'm not liking the new UI at all. Clunky to navigate, can't find pins, stands, property lines. will have to mess around more, but they took a simple, easy app, and made it a mess.

This is my first year hunting, and some of the guys in the club I joined use this app . It is very helpful for me, I will be upgrading to the pro version soon just before the deer season starts. ( update) I only have purchased the pro version once. It's definitely not necessary. The maps are a little old, and the monthly satellite image gets fuzzy when you zoom in ,but it's accurate. I can find every stand on our property with ease. I would definitely recommend it.

I have used this app for years, it suited my needs perfectly, and I didn't mind paying for it. Since the last major update (which was a disaster), the functionality constantly has issues, maps won't load, markers disappear, and hours of work on a map just comes up missing, and I won't mention the privacy issue I ran into recently. You will see "please email us" all throughout the comments, it will be months if you hear from them at all, it's their version of throwing a cup of water on a bonfire.

They used to have a good app, but like most, they messed it up. I just upgraded to the pro version to try out the other features, and half the maps don't work. The ones that do open, the quality is so bad that you can't zoom in. Less than 15 hours after buying the plan, I went to cancel only to find out that once you pay, you're stuck for the whole year. All you can do is say goodbye to your money and cancel it from charging you next year.
