onX Hunt: Offline Hunting Maps 4+

The features available on OnX are better than any other hunting and mapping app I have used in the past. Excellent array of mapping layers to select from, even including NOAA nautical charts, logging and burn data and federal land. Very good property ownership data, though I wonder how often it is updated, as I have noticed some parcels that are currently labeled incorrectly just based on knowing the current owner. The vast selection of possible waypoint markers, the ability to track your movement and save the path, and the ability to share those data points with other users of the app is great. They recently updated the satellite imagery to more recent imagery, which has been helpful in many cases, but therein lies my only complaint I can think of at this time. I would like the ability to choose between a small number of satellite imagery layers from different dates to display the map in. I often use OnX to e-scout for waterfowl hunting and the satellite imagery from before the update was taken in the winter, allowing me to better see creeks and marshes which flow under tree canopies. The latest imagery makes it harder to see into those possible duck holes. The ability to switch between winter and summer imagery would be very beneficial for that purpose and many other hunting and angling pursuits. Overall, love the app and all of the available features.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate the support. We have actually just started updating some of our imagery to "leaf off" imagery in the Hunt App. If you would like to share your imagery update request with our team, send us an email at help@onxmaps.com. We are updating states based on the requests we receive! Thanks!

I have been using the onXmaps program on my iPhone for over a year here in Montana. It has become an indispensable tool for me. As in many states, Montana can have some very confusing land ownership patterns. There are places where the fences and mix of private and public land are so confusing that I refused to hunt them. Now I can go there with confidence. I had an issue recently with my saved for offline use maps. It was probably my fault. Still, I couldn't resolve it so I contacted onXmaps support. Right away I got an email with step by step instructions for resolving the issue which worked. So, great product, great customer support. I have told everyone that I know about this great product. If you hike, fish, hunt, backpack, you should buy this.

Update: I have been an enthusiastic user of the hunt app for years now. The app just keeps getting better and my uses for it continue to expand. I and my hunting partners have used the app to scout new areas among many other uses. This last season, we hunted a private ranch that had been broken into units on which the public could hunt in limited numbers. Before we hunted there, we put the boundaries of the partitioned ranch on our offline maps. We hunted that place with confidence. This is a great product and a great company.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and letting us know how helpful the Hunt App has been for you in Montana. If there is ever anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Team again!

Absolutely wonderful when compared to all other apps in its market segment, and although 3D maps are becoming a thing I’ve found them to be very slow and not so useful (topo tells the same story and doesn’t lag like most 3D maps do; I still just use Google Earth if I want a quick look). The only thing I notice between all apps is a less-than-accurate trails layer, and this is across all of them. But I know that’s asking a lot. MVUM and local hiking trails maps are still your best bet for accurate info there. The onX Hunt is the best all-around and most reliable app of all, meaning when you go offline you don’t suddenly have issues with the layers not being there or things of that nature. The only thing it could improve on is a layer that shows springs/creeks/rivers. Would help narrow down a place quickly. To date, there isn’t a one-stop-shop when it comes to e-scouting, but onX is by far the closest thing to it. I still use onC and goHUNT and Google Earth, but all my Waypoints are saved using onX & it’s the one I use when in the backcountry. This is a rapidly-evolving market segment however, so we’ll see what 2022 brings to the table.

Hello there! We really appreciate such in-depth review and feedback. These are the exact type of comments we turn towards when evaluating what features to pursue in the future, so we will absolutely take your words to heart. Thanks so much!
