Review summary

FishDonkey is praised for its user-friendly design, live updates, and excellent customer support, making it ideal for various fishing tournaments promoting conservation. However, several users report slow app performance, unclear pricing for private tournaments, privacy concerns due to extensive permissions, and occasional registration hiccups. Overall, it is highly regarded among anglers and tournament organizers for enhancing the fishing competition experience.

Pros

User-friendly and easy to navigate interface makes it accessible for all users.
Great customer service with quick and helpful responses from the developers.
Supports live updates and real-time tracking during tournaments.
Encourages catch and release (C&R) promoting conservation efforts.
Flexible tournament formats catering to various fishing styles and groups.

Cons

App performance is sometimes slow, causing delays even on strong connections.
Lack of clarity and upfront information about costs for private or custom tournaments.
Permission requests include seemingly unnecessary access such as audio recording and file access, raising privacy concerns.
Some users face registration issues related to accepting terms and conditions.
Limited ability to edit species identification after submission without contacting the tournament director.

2025-01-09	Mi*****	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.

2022-09-13	Da*****	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.

2021-07-10	J *****	I have been using this app for awhile now, last winter it renewed my drive for waking up and getting a line wet. Its very interesting fishing with people from other places where they are fishing bodies of water you might not have heard about, and when one of your catches shows up in the top few in an international tournament you get pretty excited. It also opens up alot locally, ill admit there's nothing like an actual tournament but this is the next best thing. And, even better in some ways.

2021-05-04	Mi*****	What the? I've downloaded the app, fill out registration, when I hit submit, it says I need to accept terms and conditions. But there is no box to check or tab to click. I hit register a bunch of times, then it takes me to terms and condition page, which I accept. Go back to registration page, click register and it says I need to accept terms and conditions...🤦🏻‍♂️😡

2021-03-03	Da*****	This app has helped me save a lot of time running fishing contests. The developers have been willing to add new features and it continues to get better. I've administered over 30 contests now on this app and each one gets a little bit better. Be sure to take advantage and modify the format so that if fits your contest and how YOU want to run it. Don't be afraid of a few bumps along the way as you learn, the end result is worth it.

2021-02-20	T.*****	I like the app but it is unacceptably slow.. Have to wait up to a minute.. Even on WiFi and the web interface is the same.. Bring it out if 1996 and the score will rise
