DeerCast-Prep. Predict. Pursue

I just got this app. I installed it, set my location and then tried to watch some videos. For example, I tried watching the video about Mark’s rut hunting. First the video had no sound. I saw on these reviews that I have to have my ringer on. (Which is a major issue for me when hunting) So in the process of trying to watch a video and finding out how to get sound, the app crashed twice. It seems like every time I exit out of a video, the app crashes. The app is definitely something that I would probably pay for if it worked correctly. There just seems to be a lot of glitches in it. Now, I understand that in the process of developing and releasing apps there is a matter of testing and updating it to remove the glitches. Getting the bugs worked out so to say. That is why I am giving it 5 stars. I see it all the time, a company releases an app, a bunch of people get the app and try it out. They realize that it does not work perfectly (although it is free and they lost nothing except a little time) and they proceed to give it terrible reviews. Then the company updates and fixes all of the issues in the app and the app gets running very smooth. Those negative reviewers never update their review so it looks like the app has a bunch of negative reviews. So the company updates and improves the app and the negative people never update their reviews. If you ask me, sounds like the negative reviewers are the ones who should be defending their review.

There is hunting apps and there is commercial filled, junk selling, countless interruptions etc. apps BUT the Deer Cast app is hands down the best that I’ve ever used. No nonsense, straight to the point and extremely accurate. Nothing is 100% predictable in life, much less hunting as we all know very well. Yet, the people over at Drury Outdoors have went above and beyond when it comes to their app. I’ve been hunting over forty years, did my time in the woods, slept on snow, nearly froze solid up in the trees etc. just like the rest of you. I made every mistake possible and a lot of missed opportunities as well. The Deer Cast app has taken A LOT of the “Guess Work” out and pretty much puts you in the drivers seat. I absolutely will not hunt without the Deer Cast app. Even on “Not so Good” days, I’ll go hunting just to get out of he house and pig control. Those pigs have messed up more deer hunts than anything that I’ve ever seen. Any way, if your looking/shopping around for the best hunting app, I cannot stress enough to you here the Deer Cast app is worth every penny! You won’t be disappointed I promise! One last thing, if you’re wondering how close or accurate the app is, 15-30 min max until “Show Time”. Best of Luck. Tim H.

I live outside the Midwest in a high pressure location and was skeptical if this would be helpful. After using this app this season, I can say that it has helped me be a better hunter and helped me better plan limited time off in the deer woods. I normally don’t hunt much late season and especially in high wind and a nearly full moon but the app said it was likely to be great hunting the next morning after a big rain and it was going to be 15 mph winds. Sure enough 6 deer and then big boy 10 pointer walks by after a doe. The app uses algorithms to evaluate all the variables like lunar feeding times, plus temperature, cloud cover, barometric pressure, wind, rainfall, time of the rut, etc, to assign a rating for expected deer activity. The better the rating, the more concentrated the activity will be. It’s now my second favorite hunting app, after my mapping app. I HIGHLY recommend it.
