The battery usage in offline mode is very reasonable, and the features they add with each update make it continue to improve on itself over time. It makes navigation in the dark significantly easier, has extremely detailed maps with customizable overlays and pins, locates your position with pinpoint accuracy, and you can take meticulous notes from every situation.
Absolutely the best app for hunting!
Property lines are very accurate. All of the map tools are so handy when marking new locations. Not even just for hunting but pretty much anything outdoors. Still kind of new to the app. The only recommendation I would m…

Property lines are very accurate. All of the map tools are so handy when marking new locations. Not even just for hunting but pretty much anything outdoors. Still kind of new to the app. The only recommendation I would make or would like to see is the option to take more photos when marking a location.
This app has almost completely replaced my standalone GPS

I regularly go where cell service doesn’t, so the ability to download an area is REQUIRED for me. The interface is very intuitive and easy to set up. As an avid hunter this app keeps me out of trouble, especially with the ability to accurately locate BMA boundaries and public/private land. The web version makes it easy to pre-scout new areas, looking for access to those little potential honey-holes. As good as the app is, the customer service is better. The few small things I’ve needed help with were addressed nearly immediately through email, or via phone call before I hung up. As long as the price stays reasonable I’ll have a subscription for a long time.
The first time I showed the app to someone who had never used it, I had to gently extract my phone from the person’s hand. This happened the second time, too, and was followed by an email requesting the name of “that mapping program.”

I was hesitant to try this app after some other ones came up very short, but after a few friends recommended it I tried the free trial. I was hooked the first time I used it! For once there is an app that actually does what it advertises. Just today it was well worth the yearly subscription, I had hiked about 7 miles into the woods along a game trail and it was getting very hot and I was very tired, I decided to open OnX to see how much further I had to go if I stayed on the trail to intersect the road, when I opened the app I saw that I had just started paralleling the road but the intersection was another two miles away, but as the crow flies I was only a half mile from the road, so I just hiked the half mile and was back on the road I had parked on saving me probably a couple hours.
It has become an important piece of gear
Great app. I hunt all over in places I’m not necessarily familiar with. Having property lines and “where not to go past” is extremely important. This app helps us respectfully abide by rules, regulations, access areas, e…

Great app. I hunt all over in places I’m not necessarily familiar with. Having property lines and “where not to go past” is extremely important. This app helps us respectfully abide by rules, regulations, access areas, etc. Customer service is fast and courteous, whenever I’ve had a question. Love it.
I’m hooked on onX!

I’ve been hunting the same public lands since I can remember. This is the first year I’ve used an app like this to help with my hunt. I can tell you that I’ll never go back! I’m hooked on OnX!!! I won’t go into the woods without it. I love everything about it. I really like how I can layer my maps and find out where state land starts and ends and private property begins. I love how I can outline places I’ve seen big bucks and I have even outlined bedding areas and scrapes and rubs and licking branches and old stands. I can’t say enough about this app. I’m never ever going to give up this app. I’ll never go into a hunt without it!!

I just did a 8 day mule deer hunt in the Bad lands of North Dakota and I used onX for Scouting but what I really liked was the tracking feature. I could feel confident to go in a spot before dark knowing that after dark everything looks different. 2 different times I got turned around and checked my onX and found my way back to my track and out to my meeting spot!A friend also suggested that once in our spot we drop a way point and share it to others in case something happens.Now we always didn’t have service so downloading maps is awesome. Gave me the confidence to hunt solo knowing I could find my way back as well as leave a spot for someone to know where to look. Thanks, onX Hunt.
Simply put, I will never hunt without it

I imagine everyone that gets to know it will make the transition for safety and confidence. I have had several GPS devices over the years but this simply obsoleted all of them. My previous method was to research an area before hand, using google maps/earth and Forest Service/BLM maps as well as a scouting trip or two where I would mark locations. This all works great and is similar to my current preparation, however, where this app really shines is when you wish to change your plan. Once in the woods, the GPS devices I had wouldn’t allow me to really change course and hunt a different area. I can do it with a combination of topos and marking locations like my campsite, vehicle and points of interest I find, but this lets you navigate in real time.

Just came back from upland hunting North Dakota. While as an older user I was a little hesitant at the thought of learning a new app., onX truly was a game changer. A couple years ago NODak changing their requirements to allow electronic “Posting” in addition to the older paper “No hunting/ No Trespassing” signage. With onX our group was easily able to navigate the state public and especially private lands with no issues. Adding Waypoints for future identification and hunts was simple. So many great features and tools makes this a great electronic app for beginning and skilled users. Thank you onX, I’m sold!
Use onX. It’s going to be the critical glue that gets your plan together.

I hunt on mostly public land and trying to figure out what’s where was really hard before I got this app. I absolutely love this app. I’m using it to track whitetail deer all over the Berkshire mountains. The ability to add Waypoints for tracks, scat, rubs, scraps, etc, add photos of what you saw to those waypoints, brief descriptions, etc. It’s just been amazing. Before this I was using Google Maps, and two different state websites to look for public and private land boundaries. Impossible to manage. Now it’s all in one spot.
Great job, awesome app!
