Location: Wisconsin | After watching the latest musky hunter episode I looked into it and the reviews online were not real good. Sounded like lots of upgrades were being done to the app. I can see where it could be handy to have. Maybe the kinks have been worked out already. |

Location: WI | I haven't got it yet but my fishing partner has it. Kinda cool and the moon phase stuff is handy. Nothing there that you couldn't figure out yourself. Just more convenient. Should be free in my opinion. |

Location: Aurora | x2 on the peak times that Larry mentioned.
Other cool features as well and I'm sure the app will only continue to be updated as ongoing feedback is given.
Another thing I enjoy and found myself referencing often is the satellite map views.
Never utilized them before the app and I find them invaluable for understanding why a fish might be located where I encountered it, how the weeds are growing in a particular area in relation to the structure they're growing on, etc.
Weekly updated hi-def satellite views would be on the wish list for me.

| Apparently the only differences are the $10 one has trolling information for line out and depths of certain baits along with the fishing activity is up to a week in advance while the $3 has no trolling info and activity is limited to 24 hours in advance. I was curious to know other peoples reviews on it before I got it too... |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | The reviews weren't that good.... I think I'll wait until they work the bugs out, and it can "really help" put more fish in the net. |

Location: Sawyer County, WI | I can only speak for the iPhone, but all apps move to the new phone (assuming you've backed up your phone). No idea on Android or Windows phones.

I have the app and I can't find any lure trolling depth info on mine. I have never seen an update offered for it. Mine is installed on a 4S iPhone.
The info supplied by the app is very generic and not really of much value. You would think that for some of the more popular muskie lakes, more specifically tailored info would be provided.
Only really usable feature for me is the moon info. |

Agreed 100%. I went looking for the mentioned trolling info, couldn't find it either. And as mentioned everything is very generic. Honestly I wish I would have just saved the $10. |

All of your purchased Android apps are tied to your playstore account. You don't ever have to buy them again. When you get a new phone you can install them for free yourself. |

Location: Michigan | Agree with others that this is not worth the $10. Its just a "gadget" application to play with, but it is not a tool I use when preparing for fishing, or on the water. |

| I don't actually have the app. I called Musky Hunter to know the difference between the lite and pro version. She said that was the difference. Don't know why they would tell me that if it's not even on there...sounds like I'm better off not getting it either way. |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Here's a good question to ask yourself:
Will I use this app as much or more as the next stupid 20-30 dollar lure that I will buy?
Maybe it is worth the 10 spot,....Hmmmm..... |

| I was able to transfer my Navionics app to my new droid phone and my GPS tablet without having to buy them again.
I'll have to look into this Musky Hunter app more. There are some decent free apps out there for peak times and solunar charts/data. Combine that with the Navionics for lake maps and other fun things and I'm pretty much set.

| Lots of really great questions regarding the app. The app was first launched in May of 2013 and there were some issues with the performance. We were able to work the bugs out and the app has been stable since September. The original version has been reduced in price to $2.99 and the PRO version is now $9.99. The PRO version includes monthly moon calendars, a weekly view of activity prediction, a revised activity algorithm now updated on 15 minute intervals, and a trolling app. The PRO upgrade is currently awaiting approval from Apple. As soon as it's released, any PRO purchases will automatically upgrade on your phone. If you have any specific requests for app improvements you can log them at www.MuskyHunterMobile.com |
