At a busy dog show, getting your dog to the line in an efficient manner becomes more and more difficult. Rather than crowd around gate sheets, why not check-in your dog on your phone and see how far out you are from heading into the ring. Check-in your dog, scratch or even mark yourself as a conflict and see the gate update in real-time.

Really nice app

As a new agility competitor this is really helpful to keep us informed on progress toward our turn. What would be SUPER HELPFUL would be two enhancements: 1) estimated time to a competitor’s time (use std estimated run time+in/out time) so we would have a very rough approximation of when to warm up etc. Currently I have to manually add # of dogs to know if we are 1 or 2 hrs out. 2) Having results posted would be super also. PDF’s of scoring for each class like the printouts that are physically pinned up. Sometimes you don’t remember to go and take a picture of a score sheet.Thanks!!

A great new solution for a long-term need

There has always been a problem with everyone gathering around the agility gate to get updated information about the running order while keeping their dog safely away from the others congregated there. Additionally, checkins, scratches, and moves were done with writing devices which left the gate sheet confusing and hard to read. Those changes also made communication about the resultant run order with the scribe error prone. Further, doing what is necessary to host an agility trial during a pandemic that requires social distancing means that using gate sheets only causing many to break the rules of social distancing.Agility Gate elegantly solves those problems. No longer do people need to crowd into an area around the gate sheets to determine the run order. All of the information one needs is available on the app. At a recent agility trial, no gate sheets were produced. A large monitor connected to a mobile displayed the run order so that all could get the information they needed whether or not they had a connected mobile device. Also, the scribe controlled the app so there was no communication loss between the gate person and the scribe. Everyone with a network connected device had the information they needed without having to crowd around the gate. I was sitting hundreds of feet away from the gate and could determine when I needed to go to the gate. This occurred with many people so they were at the gate when necessary making the trial run quicker. This is an app that has been needed for decades and is now available and dependable.

When it works it’s amazing

LOVE THIS APP…when it works. Used for a year and reliable and excellent when Inhad a signal. However, they lit coders don’t keep up orb iPhones. In th last 3 months I mostly get the logo, then a grey screen. I delete and re-download which rarely works. I turn off my phone and on, and then SOMETIMES it works, other times it won’t load the trial list as I stand next to a Samsung user that works on the same exact carrier and signal. Used to work 99% of the time with a little tinkering and downloading, but recently 25%. Fix the lack of iPhone support and I’ll revise my rating…the last 2 months are a disaster for this app being desired to use at trials (I’m a trial chair) as 50% or so of our exhibitors have iPhones.

Not a bad start, but room for improvement.

My club tried Agility Gate for the first time this past weekend, and for this handler who likes to work out of their car, it was a great help. However, I see two significant areas for improvement. 1) find a way to include the volunteer schedule. Maybe show as a “class” to check in to? Or add it in like the maps? And 2) A notification feature would be fantastic. At an individual level, “your dog is 5, 10, or however many out” as well as trial-wide notifications to anyone who has entered the password for a trial such as “now building Standard L1. Walkthrough to follow”, “Results posted”, or “Lunch will be available at 12 noon”
