Fishdonkey APP
I use the app to manage all the fish entries for the ice fishing tournament I run annually. Working with Bonnie and Darren make it a really nice experience, indeed. If something requires a change or edit, they are responsive and offer creative ideas to help resolve them. It is totally a self manageable app. It is both dynamic and optimal for the user and the person using it to manage a tournament. I especially like the reporting it gives, as it allows me to gain intelligence from the data to make improvements and enhancements on the fly or for the next. Great work guys!!
SJR 500 Rainy River Tournament
Used this app for the first time, and really enjoyed it!! Very easy to use. I followed the instructions I received after downloading, registering for the app, and it tells you how to do everything.
Being able to see fish entered from other anglers is nice. It’s great if you are a competitive angler. You can see entries in real-time. Entering a fish you have caught is so easy.
I would highly recommend this app if you are are going to host a fishing tournament, or even incorporating into your existing tournaments!!
No Rebase Fishing Tournament
After considering other fishing tournament apps we decided on FishDonkey. Four years later we couldn’t be happier!
Love this app!
Easy to navigate and a fun way to discover new tournaments!
Confusing
Can’t figure out to enter
Fish Donkey
Fish Donkey is the best thing that has happened to fishing in a long time.
Perfect and Easy
I use this to run a small private tournament. Everybody easily registers and I can easily use the app to communicate to the participants. We run the tournament by length and the app automatically culls and gives real time rankings. The app allows you to enter length and a picture of the species being caught. A bump board is recommended. It makes the tournament so much fun because of the real time rankings. Starts and ends right on time and the app doesn’t allow for entering before and after the whistle. Although, I use for a small tourney, it would work for any size. This is the best app for any fishing tournament. Used know for 3 years and never has a glitch. Perfect and easy!!
Great app and tournament support
FishDonkey has done a nice job creating an easy to use and fully functional fishing tournament app. We have used it at the Red Door Resort for a number of years and highly recommend. It is also worth mentioning that the team behind the app provides great support
General comments
I have heard from contacts that people are unhappy about the fees with this app. In general fishing tournament organizers would like to go back to the old ways of doing things. I do think this app is helpful for having all the tournaments in one place. My main problem however is the lack of boat education about AIS and how to stop the spread. There is great potential for spreading this important information.
Can’t escape bump board ad
Every time I enter a tournament the x to close the ad for the bump board they want you to buy won’t work cause it’s crammed behind my battery level on my phone so I have to close the app and restart because I can’t click anywhere without going to a separate site to buy a bump board I don’t want.
