Player Reviews
Real players, real runs. Here is what they say after showing up.
It was always hard for me to find consistent people on the same level as me to play football. The community sections are very useful and helped me solve this issue, especially for long-term games and events.

FootballThe app and idea is bomb, we really needed this in HK. I did not expect the app to be actually useful. I hosted games and people showed up, I made friends and got to play with STRANGERS!

VolleyballUsed this app when I was touring in Hong Kong and it was SO fun (basketball was on top). I struggled to find games but managed to get couple runs with pickupgames. Also made some friends that I will definitely hit up next time I'm in HK.
