Amazing app

Very good to meet new people and play

Scam

The fact they give you a credit back instead of properly refunding you is a scam. There can be no games available and the credit becomes useless.

I can’t wait to play again

This app is helping to keep up with my cardio while giving guys in my city some buckets 🏀
I love it 👍🏾

Not worth it

It’s not worth paying this much for pickup. Just show up to your same fields and exchange info!

Good runs & good locations

I love how there’s always a game going on everywhere in NY. So many options and always have good runs!

The app

The app it’s just so good, bringing ppl together to have fun and do one thing it’s playing the beautiful game! Meeting new ppl with different skills as person and player. Can improve with price so no body it’s left behind of the fun.👍

Terrible Scamming Creators/Host

Just Play is an app that aims to connect people who love to play pickup sports with one another. However, charging money to participate in pickup sports seems to go against the spirit of the activity. The beauty of pickup games is that they are typically free and open to all, allowing people from all walks of life to come together and enjoy a friendly game of sport. By charging people to play, Just Play takes away the inclusiveness and community-building aspect of pickup sports. This decision has likely caused frustration and disappointment among users who expected to participate in a free and open pickup game. To make things worse the Host of the game had a power trip and tried to kick off a bunch of families and kids when we had plenty of space to play. It is also concerning that the app is profiting from what should be a fun, community-driven activity. Overall, Just Play's decision to charge for pickup sports goes against the very essence of the activity and has likely resulted in a negative experience for many users.

Response from developer

Hi - we understand where you're coming from and it is a very valid point. We try to keep prices as affordable as possible while still providing equipment, renting the facilities, and keeping the organization of the games (hosts, the app, etc) running smoothly. It's a price for the organization that pick up games regularly as kids don't have. Our service looks to have a confirmed booking of a private field or full park and the freedom of just showing up and having everything laid out, a team selected without having to find the people, the equipment and all logistics. We want to bring the community together that otherwise wouldn't find a group to play or could schedule a good session, have new comers into town meet a good group. We'll definitely take your feedback and send it over to the department to see if we can get more affordable prices!

This organization is a scam. They take away valuable field time disrupting regular pick up soccer games force you to pay, don’t refund you if they decide to cancel the game last minute and have rude bossy hosts treating grown men that have been playing in the same fields with the same rules like children and making you wear gross training bibs

Worst experience ever speak english or be banned

I had a fun time playing soccer in this app but then we had a female host which i don’t mind and don’t care if she plays with us that’s not the issue but she was on a power trip threatening to kick like 5-6 players out of the pitch including me because we are talking in a language she don’t understand and started making up things when she went to luis who didn’t think twice obviously about what really went down and decided to threat every one that we will be banned from the app so i guess if u want to play with your friends you have to take courses in english otherwise this might happen to you too
But we’re not going to use this app again because that’s now how things work we are playing football to enjoy and not to have this kind of issues and to be threatened there are a lot of pitches in this country which you can play for free also 😀

Hey Chicharito_4378 - we are so so sorry this ever happened to you. It is completely unacceptable for a host to have made you guys as players feel this way. Our community is filled with players from all over the world and what makes us great is how much diversity and different languages and experiences you can hear at the field. We want to assure you we would never ban any player because of this, we will make sure we follow up on this host and ensure they are removed from our team. All our hosts are trained to welcome everyone and make sure every player feels safe. We would love to have you back for a game, on us! We'd want to send you a PROMO CODE you can apply at check out to get any game for free no matter the cost, this way you can get the true GoodRec experience you deserve. Shoot us an email at customersupport@goodrec.com and we can hook you up!

Best app for finding runs no debating!!!

Hands down the best app for finding great organized runs in every borough no matter what, great hosts, straight to the point hooping, can’t lose with this app!
