App works as should and displays what you need. You can purchase everything from the app. There’s some upgrades to wish for but this is a step in the right direction to have this mobile feature.

Can't even link info to register, it can't associate any ID info I give it. Tried DL, passport and nothing but errors.
Terrible

Won’t let me make an account I’ve tried doing the associate bs cause it won’t let me do anything else. I’ve used my military and my state id and just keeps giving errors. Whats the point of having an app and then not even bothering to make sure it works. Waste of time

The app feel a bit raw, but I think it’s a step in the right direction. There’s is no sense in carrying physical copy of the license when you have your phone with you. Here are few wishes/comments:
Apparently you cannot use the same account you already created online with this app, you have to try-register then link them (inconvenient); I wish I can use app for lobster reporting as well (why on earth I need to carry that stupid card with me?). I wish I can specify the location and harvest method (freediving) and have a tailored regulations with fish search and id guid. And add an interactive MPA map.
Bad app

Errors out and a delete and reload does not fix. Can’t report no harvest
Finally my license is accessible on my phone.

Love that we finally have a digital license versus carrying around the ridiculously long receipt like license. Couple more requests and this would be perfect. 1. Let me buy licenses and renew licenses through the app. 2. Since weather and solar information is already provided, adding a widget for high/ low tides would be phenomenal.
Can’t create account from app

You can’t create a new account directly from the app, even though it says you can. You have to go to the website first, register, get your license, and then log into the app.
Works
