Do any forum members have any long-term experience of using clubmate for fishing permits, I'm a bit concerned about putting my details into a APP

Not long term, but I've used it a couple of times without any issues.

Worked okay for me as well. Much better than swimbooker that my syndicate is now using.

Same. My club are using it for renewals next year for the first time. Will save me having to drive half hour each way to pay cash as the only other payment they used to accept was a cheque. My club has been stuck in the 80's 😂

My club won't do cash or PayPal this year just clubmate. I'm 58 so I'm not too bad with tech but I know some of the oaps will struggle

One club I'm a member of has settled down with it now but the first couple of years were a shambles. I personally don't like it. I find it clumsy. My other club had a bespoke site made and it's miles better.

Hi Graham,
I've administered the Clubmate system for a local club now since pre Covid and honestly had no security issues, it uses Stripe as a vehicle for making payments,this is a proven payment system and works like a dream.
If you still have concerns you can actually remove your payment details immediately after payment so you then have peace of mind until you feel more comfortable with the system and payment process.
If you have any specific questions please drop me a pm with your phone no and I'll give you a call and help where I can.

Tel
👍👍

Just out of interest what 'permissions' does this app expect on your phone? Most apps seem to want to harvest some information off you by default.

Hi Andy,
I'm not associated with Clubmate, I just administer the system my local club, I'm not100% sure as to what information you are refering, so here's what I know about the app, it's simply a vehicle used for the member to access a portal to their fishing clubs area, it usually requires an email address and password to access.
If as a user you don't want or need to have the app on your phone you can pop it on a tablet, or if preferred access via a normal WWW address.
