The Zipper Sportfishing home: Captain's Update, eight buttons and two sponsor tiles

Built for groups that meet up.

Every group gets the basics, plus tools made for what it does.

⚓

Charter boats

Trips and seats, the captain's notes before each trip, directions to the dock, weather, fishing reports and what to bring.

🏈

Leagues

Schedules, standings, announcements and the chat that keeps a league going all season.

⭐

Clubs

Membership levels, requests to join, private dates for members first, and a message board.

⚽

Teams

Game days and fields, snack and carpool sign-ups, the coach's update and team files.

What members get

Everything for the day, in one tap.

  • Updates from the organizer that show up on the home screen, not lost in a group text.
  • Their trip or game: when, where, who's going, and how to get there.
  • Chat and a message board for the whole group.
  • The member list, photos, reports and recipes the group shares.

On iPhone and on the web. Members sign up with an invite link or a join code.

Captain's Update: a note a week before the trip with the time, what to bring and the tip custom

What owners get

An app that pays its own way.

Two sponsor tiles in the app: NetAdvisors and Applied Equipment Solutions

Sponsor tiles you sell

Two ad spots on the home screen for local businesses. The app draws each ad from their logo and colors so it always looks right, and counts views and taps to show the sponsor.

Captain's Picks: recommended gear with shop links

Picks that earn

Recommend the gear you trust. Each pick links to the shop, ready for affiliate links that pay you a share.

An assistant that keeps everyone posted

It writes notes for the people on each trip: a week out, a few days out, the night before and that morning. It uses your real trip, weather and directions, and you can edit or hide any note.
