## FishLegal Reviews in United States

### ***** "Handy quick guide"
Extremely useful for quick identification and keeping up to date on legalities, as well as providing alerts and updates. Hoping they can add more species and photos in time.
-- Xi Xinping, 2025-01-07

### *---- "DO NOT TRUST this app!!!"
I was counting on using this app to help with rockfish, identification and regulations. Unfortunately, the regulations are six years out of date, and have changed significantly!  Fortunately, I had at least some familiarity with current regulations, and was able to avoid keeping illegal rockfish (listed as legal in this app) that could have resulted in a huge ticket.
In addition, their listing/map of marine protected areas is incomplete; Cordell bank national Marine sanctuary is absent!

### ***** "Easy to use, shows where u are"
No one has time to futz with an app while fishing. This is easy to use, shows where you are. Good reference for no fish zones and showing your location helps keep you out of the No zone areas. Very helpful. Use it a lot.
-- jean debe, 2022-11-16

### *---- "useless"
This app provides frustratingly imprecise positioning combined with a practically useless operator interface.  Don&#039;t waste your time. 

It would be quicker to drive to sacramento and grab a copy of the rules and memorize them.
-- Super Lame x100, 2022-06-21

### ***** "Great site"
Quite impressed with the function of being able to see how close you are to an MLBA showing your location. On the screen does not show you where you are until you press a little button on the top left corner. If you didn’t know that you would not know you have that opportunity that I know of of knowing how close you are to our MLPA but quite impressive in my opinion.Also like the fact that you can press that location on an MLPA and it tells you the legalities of what you can do in that area again quite impressive.

### ***** "Very helpful"
A game warden in the Monterey area recommended this app to me and my fishing buddy. This is the simplest, most convenient way I’ve found for knowing the boundaries of the conservation areas and their fishing regulations.
-- Nachos 4 Nico, 2022-03-14

### *---- "Broken"
App cannot tell where you are at even with access to location
-- 9090fishman, 2021-12-20

### ****- "App has the fish I was looking for"
There’s definitely more pictures needed for some  of the fish . I like the layout and organization more than any books and it’s a good price for a full year
-- clumsyninja87, 2021-09-10

### ***** "Great app"
Please add crabbing regulations
-- carlos55924, 2021-08-19

### ***** "Great simple app"
Love how easily I can double check the species and regulations.
-- ForgottenNombre, 2021-03-04
