What's your favorite hunting apps and why ? I have ONX and I was thinking about switching to either BaseMap or HuntWise. What do you guys think ?

Hunting apps

ONX is the best thing in the last several years I have added to my arsenal, I hope they never go out of business.
I tried basemaps… switched to on x and I won’t go back. OnX is pretty good
I know BaseMap has better updated images. I had the free app and they updated the hole app. It looks really good plus there's a Father's day promo. I like ONX but I like the looks of BaseMap since the updates.
I agree with ONX, have used it for the past 3 years or so. I dont even use it to its fullest potential, and have nothing but good things to say about it.

I also use OnX but have never used anything else. Between OnX and Google Earth Pro historical imagery I feel like I get everything I need. It would be nice to have access to more up to date imagery.
One of my favorite tools for scouting before heading to a new landscape is Google Earth. Not only is its 3D version beautiful and wildly accurate, but it also makes navigating a breeze.
If you find yourself out of service regularly and need quick access to property boundaries on the run, this might not be the sole app for you.
But it can be a great help in many, many ways. Historical and seasonal image data, the ability to save points, and the best 3D tech I’ve seen make this a must-have for your technological kit.

I use Huntwise. I really like their map layer features. Their "Land Cover" map layer is the most helpful scouting tool I've found on any app. To be honest the app was really weak last year, but it seems like they are quickly updating it. I have never used the paid version of OnX so I can't give a comparison unfortunately.
I use huntstand.
I didn't need it much for deer hunting, but bought it for land ownership names when looking for prairie dog hunting land. After i bought it, i use it more for deer hunting, morel hunting, etc. Works and price isn't too bad.
I do hunt a lot of land with a lot of different parties, so it is nice to pull up the ownership maps as there aren't any square tracks of land where i hunt. All oddball stuff with very few land markers.
