My son bought this app. It is real handy if you want access to private land. You can view any state in many views, Topo, satellite etc. you can zoom in and it tells you how many acres are owned and contact information for the land owner. I'm on his plan for free. I think he said it was about $100 a year. One nice feature is you can download area maps to your phone or gps and view without service.

OnX had deal going on around Christmas time so I got the single state for about $20.00. It is very helpful app and truly worth what I paid.

Took a guy west elk hunting last year, he used OX. I'm old school just with a GPS and the birds eye view.  I was shocked at how much better OX was. We were back in several miles and at dark he informed me of a trail that would end up taking us to a forest service road. It saved us from blundering back through the timber. And the ability to use his phone where there is no cell service was a neat option. I will have the one state option before next fall.

I spend the $100 every year and don't hesitate.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I downloaded the free app just so I could check boundary lines but after the free trial is up that goes away. I definitely won't pay for it. Just to check property lines. There is a point to me where technology ruins things and I will lump this right there with trail cameras. To each there own but one of the reasons I enjoy the woods is to get away from that crap. If I can't beat a critter on my own then maybe I don't deserve it.

It's a great app, has helped tremendously with property boundaries.

I think its great for searching for public land, the offgrid feature is really nice also but I could see if you a property you are familiar with it wouldn't be of any use.

It's pretty good for finding public land and staying in your boundaries. Plus knowing the landowners name ahead of time helps seal the deal for knocking on doors. The best feature is that you can save the maps and use them when you have no service. I moved out here to SD 2 years ago and didn't have a clue of where I was all the time or what roads I was on.

I got the one state option . Property boundaries are a big help. Not only public but also private. Lots of fences on private which are not for property boundaries but for cattle and field edges.
Getting permission around here is tough enough and you don't want miss out on timbered creek bottom that the farmer actually owns. Or getting on the neighbor which may end your hunting real quick.
The wind and weather feature is nice too.

I have not gotten a smart phone because I had no use for it where I live as there is poor reception and add to that my house has aluminum siding so that dampens reception as well and I live on the second floor. Now that I am getting a vehicle on the Rd. in April I am thinking I am going to look into getting a smart phone, does not have to be high end but I would like to check out this app and a couple others I have heard good things about from other hunters here and on Facebroke. I would only do the single state option though.

Worth every penny especially when hunting areas your not completely familiar with.

The Onx Topo map is not as friendly as the US topo.

Get the camofire app. They have the OnX elite membership for $60 and the single state for $18 pretty regularly.

I get 3 states but it's limited in 2 of em. I get full access in 1. It is a good app
