  • Great app

    This is a great app, simple to use. However, lacking mixed capability.
  • Wonderful App

    I love this app. We used it the 1st time yesterday—8 players, 2 courts. Question: how do you delete a player from your list of players?

    Developer Response

    So pleased you like it. Just swipe left on their name and tap remove. If you’re already in the middle of a session, tap on “Adjust” on the top right and proceed as directed above.
  • Outstanding!

    We have a group of 125 guys and about half show up each session. Excel just wasn't cutting it and "shootout" style was repetitive.

    THEN, we found PB Play and now they love they love it!! The randomness, never playing with the same four people and the ability to add or drop players easily DURING match play is wonderful.

    It's worked so well other groups in our community are using it (ladies only, mixed, leagues) and it's been the same with them. Everyone loves it. Well, done. Makes our organizing easy and quick.

    Sure, we'd love to have additional capabilities, but this is such a great tool, we'll happily wait for the next improvements and repurchase!!

  • Love This APP!

    I’ve been using this app for about 8 months now with several different groups. It definitely solves a few problems that often occur when playing in a group. Such as two strong players wanting to play together all of the time, no one wanting to partner with a weaker player (leading to hurt feelings). It’s also a time saver - less chat about who’s playing with who, means more play time - yay!

    I have one question/ request… Is there a way to delete names from a given group’s roster? If not, would you consider adding that functionality? With so many drop-ins, my lists have gotten unnecessarily long, and deleting folks who came once or twice would be awesome!!

    Thanks for the great review! Yes you can easily remove names from the roster. Just swipe left and confirm the removal.
  • This app is wonderful, is more coming?!

    Hello,
    Just wanted to say this app has made our Monday night round robin so much easier. I initially tried a google search for a round robin layout. Some results were ok but if I generated it again for next week it was the same round robin.

    This app is great at mixing up the order in which you play with an against people week in and week out!

    It’s 5 stars just for that, I’m wondering though, if more features can be added?

    I’d love for the app to track our game results and then track them throughout the year. Currently we have 8 players, 7 round robin games and then all players are seeded 1-8. The eighth game is then a medal game with 1/2 playing 3/4 for gold and 5/6 playing 7/8 for bronze. So we have a weekly winner but we also track stats for the season round robin, W/L, Win %, points, points per game, medals won.

    If this app could expand to do that on the fly it could make for some really fun league nights and season long improvements as players try to climb the ladder!

    Thx for the app, really enjoying it!

    So pleased that Pickleball Play is working for your group. I’ll definitely give some thought to your suggestions for future features.
  • Easy round robins!

    We used to struggle with rotating 24 people on 4 courts. Mass confusion. This app is amazing. Hope this developer comes out with more apps and more options like keeping track of winners or a ladder. Karen- USA pickleball ambassador

    So glad you like it!!
  • PB Play

    Bought this app but was disappointed to see that the functionality is very, very basic. All you can do is create a group of names, and choose how many courts you have. It then sets up rounds of play. There is no ability to ask for matchups by ability, gender, team etc, no way to save scores, no way to have people drop out or join a later round

    I’m sorry you are not finding the app useful. You are correct that it does not keep scores or allow for specific match ups. It was made for a drop in type situation. It DOES actually allow for players to arrive late or leave early though. That is one of the key features that makes it better than preprinted schedules.

    The app has been a great addition to our pickle ball group. It makes pairing everyone so simple, even when someone comes late or leaves early. The developer’s response to a question was immediate.
  • Awesome!

    I love this app. It is simple to use and creates organized play in seconds.
    This is a game changer for any pickleball community that struggles with organized play. Whenever I use this app with large groups I set a 12 minute timer so that all the games finish at the same time. That way there is no waiting around.

    This is a must have for pickleball organizers. And perfect for small group play as well.

    Thank you for making this app!!

    You are most welcome! We all have the same challenges with organizing games. We also do timed games of 12 minutes. Thanks for your review.
  • Great App

    I play PB with a group of players which may change daily. We used to assign numbers and use a print out in order to execute a round robin of players. Believe me when I say, no one could remember their number! This makes round robin play so much easier. You can add or delete players as needed. You cannot add to the court number without starting over so I always leave it higher than we need in case another court is needed later. Well worth its low price.
