This app is built to protect the fish in your lake and it prevents cheating. Easier to Run, Better for Fish (R)

awesome for tournaments

Thank you! We appreciate your feedback. Look for more improvements to come soon.
it is great but it can be very slow when opening a notification
If you set up a tournament, there's a 5-dollar service fee per person who enters. Yet, in the tutorial video, they make it out like you can set up free tournaments. Beware, there are service fees.

You are not reviewing the quality of the app. Your review only covers how you think we should run the business. Unless you have a high school subscription, it is FREE to create a tournament. Users pay a service fee when they join the tournament. It is very clear when they check out that there is a fee and what the amount is.
need to be able to search tournaments by state like if I want idaho tournament I click idaho from drop down menu
Developer reply
you can organize by state and then scroll down. we are improving that, but currently, there are so many tournaments that it takes a while to get to Idaho. This is sort of a good problem. There are other ways to search -- "key word" is the easiest. Please reconsider your 3 star review.
Gave a 1 star review and that was a mistake! It all boiled down to being unfamiliar with how things were setup. Once everything got figured out it worked flawlessly and was a lot of fun to use. Once someone entered a fish the app played a donkey sound and we all rushed to check out app to see who entered another fish. Great app!

This app is one of the best for fishing tournaments. Never had an issue with tourney directors enforcing the rules on cheaters or those breaking the rules.

Thank you for the review. We appreciate your support. Good luck fishing!
Had the app joined a tournament for a school as a coach we went out I took pictures of the fish posted them at the end of the day go back and look and it didn't put in any of the fish
Developer reply
I hear you are frustrated, but I assure the app works. You need to go to your digital livewell and send in the photos. If you have a poor connection you need to go back to the livewell and upload them at the end of the day. Also, you can call us for support and we always answer the phone so this is a very unfair review.
Was very buggy and caused issues with literally every other app on my phone. Won't download again
Developer reply
I checked and you haven't ever used our app. You have not joined a tournament or submitted a fish. The app is not "buggy" and it doesn't interfer. We run tournaments every day (16,000+ so far) and get fish submissions every day -- we know it works. You could have called our support if you had problems. This is a bogus review by a non-user.

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
