If anyone is using any apps, what apps are they using? Im thinking of getting either huntstand or onX, Have used both but the imagery seems better on hunt stand to me. The app will be great for bowhunting which is my other passion besides trapping but it will be nice for land owner info and scouting. Thanks for any input.

I use OnX to help with property line identification. I use iGoTrapping to log my trap sets - very handy app IMHO.

OnX has replaced my pile of Plat Books and topo maps.
I mark spots in OnX if I think I'll forget about them.
For the most part I still use a compass for navigation though.
I've never looked at Huntstand.

I use OnX. Worth every penny of the subscription price.

I use OnX and paid for the entire US subscription. The offline maps are a lifesaver!

My dad and me use ONX and love it, you can make separate folders for archery, trapping, fishing, etc. Very rarely have issues with it, would recommend.

I use the GoTrapping! app. I also have OnX but the waypoints are more difficult to add info to. The GoTrapping! app has the same satellite views but has the ability to add trap site info to the set very easily and is very customizable. You can add trap, lure, bait to the trap waypoint and record catches very easily.

I personally use my Google maps and just drop a pin where I place a trap if I'm setting more than 10. I have used onx before and it was nice to have to property lines.

Is there a way to get the iGoTrapping to track your trail? That’s the only thing I don’t like. That, and I’m usually out of cell service but I can still use it to mark sets.

That’s what sold me on OnX. I can not only track but I can download maps from WiFi or cell service and not have to worry about whether I have cell service or not. I can sit in my recliner in Georgia and pick places I want to check out in Washington or Idaho and Montana and download those maps months before my trip. I’ve already got about 7 areas picked and downloaded for Montana next Spring. When I get there I pull up those maps and hit track and start dropping waypoints, like where the gate/truck is. If I take a promising trail to an area I want to check out I drop another waypoint just incase I find birds or sign and have to come back at 0-dark thirty in the morning to reach that ridge.
My first bird in Washington last year was 5+ miles back and away from the truck. Sure made it easier getting back to the truck with a track and even seeing where I could drop off a mountain to cut out some extra distance.

I'm a HuntStand user. I have the Pro version. About $30/annually.

I use it to mark traps. And I really like the monthly satellite images.

I'm old school and don't use apps. I did try Onx with all the hype and several friends that use it. Way too buggy for me, it wouldn't show me where I was on the map, then while driving down the road it suddenly started showing me. Then a little later it removed all the property lines and landowners, I reloaded everything and turned stuff on and off and couldn't get them to show up again, then suddenly an hour or so later (when I had moved on through all the area where I was curious about landowners) while I was looking at it they popped up again and showed for the rest of the day. Also, everytime the backlight on my phone timed out and the screen went dark the app closed and I had reopen it next time I went to look at it, and it didn't track while it closed.

Nope, I have a gps I use, and otherwise it is a paper map, waterproof notebook and my memory.

No use for apps on the prairie. They slow you down a lot. Tried to use them for a while but stopped. Only plus was the record keeping and score keeping.
