Ratings and reviews

Excellent app. It is great to encourage immediate C&R of fish, minimizing impact to the resource. Fun to watch in real-time your current status. I had never fished an actual tournament before, now I'm in my third one through the app. I had a glitch with my digital livewell, reached out via email through the app, issue was resolved very quickly! Would recommend to anyone, great way to meet new people with a common interest, along with some fun competition between friends.

Not upfront with true cost of the app and it's disappointing. If I wanted to do a private buy in tourney amongst friends I have no idea what the cost would be up front which is troubling. Edit- So when you get your tournament set up, you get a sort of "concierge" to help you fine tune it which is really nice. They are really responsive and helpful which made me boost my score but you still have to dig for info I feel. It is a cool app and worth the download.

I can't say enough about this app and the creators of it! They were super helpful and even checked in with me on a Sunday morning to make sure I didn't have any questions while our tournament was going on. It was super easy to use for all anglers and captains, the technology worked great, and it even has a digital livewell that will save your images when you don't have cell service on the lake and then uploads them when you do. As the tournament director, I found it super simple to verify the pictures. They also have youtube videos that you can watch to check it out and show you how to use it, but it really is so simple you wouldn't need to watch those. Thank you for creating this amazing app! We will definitely use it again!
