A fishing app beat out others made for broadcasters, teams, and leagues to win best app Thursday night at the Yahoo! Sports Technology Awards.
Fishbrain was nominated alongside SportsCastr, Sky Sports’ Jeff Bot, the West Ham United Official App, the Major League Soccer Mobile App, and MatchPint. SportsCastr is a video broadcasting app, Jeff Bot is a chat bot based on Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling, and MatchPint is an app that helps people in the U.K. find pubs showing specific matches.
The free-to-use Fishbrain app is the world’s largest fishing-based social network. It has more than 8 million users and has logged more than six million catches.
