    The monetization strategy of the app has drawn significant criticism from users, particularly regarding the overwhelming presence of ads even for premium subscribers. Many users express frustration over constant pop-up advertisements promoting an elite plan, despite having already paid for a premium service, leading to a perception of the app as a cash grab. Overall, the consensus is that the intrusive advertising undermines the value of the paid subscription, with users expecting an ad-free experience when they have already committed financially.

    • “It is updated often, very functional and there are no ads thankfully.”
    • “No ads, easy to use, no false claims.”
    • “There's no ads and I really appreciate that.”

    • “I have a paid subscription for the reason of not having ads, even if they are your own.”
    • “Paid for a premium membership and still get inundated with advertising; pop-ups (not hints) every time I open the app.”

Many users experience issues such as the app not staying open, inaccurate GPS tracking, and problems with waypoint management, leading to frustration, especially in critical situations like backcountry navigation. While some users note improvements after updates, the overall consensus is that the app remains unreliable and requires urgent fixes to enhance its stability.

    • “Ox Hunt is the best hunt map app ever; concise, up-to-date, and detailed. I love that the offline feature has no glitches; it rocks!”

  • graphics30 mentions

    The graphics in the app are generally praised for their high quality and detailed topographical maps, which effectively illustrate elevation and land features. Users appreciate the ability to overlay various map types and access landowner information, although some have noted that the clarity of the topographical maps has diminished compared to previous versions. Overall, the app is considered a valuable tool for outdoor navigation and planning, despite some complaints about map updates and performance in areas with poor reception.

    • “The graphics are high quality and the layering you can use to study the elevation before you go on a hike/hunt and prepare accordingly.”
    • “This app has very detailed topographic maps.”
    • “Love how everything is detailed and the graphics are great as well.”
    • “The topographical maps aren't contrasted clearly and the elevation markers are sparse.”
    • “But the topographical map used to be better and more easy to read the elevations.”
    • “Well this is the deal: I don't know why everyone likes this app instead of HuntStand, because as of yesterday, HuntStand has updated their maps while OnX has not. It's a little aggravating. I see people complaining about HuntStand, but for me, it's the other way around. HuntStand maps are a lot clearer and more realistic than OnX; just a better map. I wish I would have bought HuntStand instead of this app because they both do the same thing, but HuntStand has better graphics and they update their stuff.”

    • “Long story and hours in the dark with a compass.”
    • “Not only has your plot lines been historically lacking in thoroughness around here (a lot of gaps), you have now grown too big for your britches and decided to make it a premium item.”
