Charging Money For Free Sports

This app and their developer intrude public spaces and are competing for profit from people's passion for the game. What they are doing is unjust, and diminishes the community of people who can enjoy sport to just those who are willing to fork over the extra $$ to play a sport they grew up loving for free at local parks. This company is profiteering from public assets and reselling public infrastructure. Awful.

Amazing idea

This app is perfect if you are looking for a pick up game New York City.

The everything app⚽️🏀🏐

Get the app and don’t look back. It’s the future of playing sports. I just moved to NYC, love playing all sports, and travel a lot. This app has it all and every single person I’ve interacted with through it has been kind and understanding. Thank you JP🥳

Used to be good; now on the decline

I used to love Just Play; games were high quality and reliable. In the past few months, there have been several scheduling mishaps leading to opaque last minute cancellations.

Moreover, many of the games have been low levels of play. Beginners play intermediate, intermediate players play advanced, and no one regulates this dynamic.

I still use the app because there are so few other options. But I now use it reluctantly, rather than excitedly.

If there were more communication and engagement from the people behind the app, I’d feel more optimistic. But none of the feedback I’ve shared has received a response. Overall, I get the sense that they don’t really care about the player experience.

Response from developer

Hey Joshua - we hear you 100%. We changed the way we manage games on our side, at the end of last year we did have the cancellation rate both due to low sign ups and facility mistakes creep up on us. Over the past months we've been obsessed with fixing this. We've rebuilt our host team, streamlined communication with our facilities to minimize mistakes, and implemented a process to follow up on all bad experiences. And regarding players level too we hear you, we identified how frustrating this was for many users so we've started working on a system where we can more accurately and transparently both rank players and share this information with all users. At the moment our games are designed according to certain levels but each player judges their ability and like you mention many tend to overestimate their skill level.  We hope to soon have a more permanent solution where players are objectively graded and ranked and they share their position, how long they've been playing for and other facts with the whole team, but in the meantime we are issuing warnings to all players who are reported to be playing outside their true level and encouraging to sign up to a lower skill game and eventually ban them if they're not complying since it can harm others' experience.  Our new support channels are open so you can share any of these issues that come up. We really really appreciate this input.

Great basketball. Easy to use app. Lots of fun

For competitive indoor runs. This is it.

They will take your money

If you back out of a game they don't warn you that it doesn't return your credits if it's within 24 hours and there's no support to reach out to. It's a shame because I wanted to play another day but knowing I have to be willing to burn $15 just to MAYBE get to play pickup is crazy.

Love it

Love the app, love how easy it is to schedule games and go play the directions are super clear and everyone is nice. The pennies are always clean the only thing i’d say is that it is a bit pricey per game

BEST PICKUP SOCCER APP IN LAS VEGAS

I use Just Play to join matches every time I travel to Las Vegas. The app has a bunch of options all over the city. Great app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bad experience

I had a game recently and was told field made a mistake. Not a problem, happens, and was informed I would receive a refund by the host. It’s been many days past since and still haven’t receive any refund. This isn’t right.

Great app

I’ve played 2 games so far with this app and I can say it's great. The games are so fun, people are chilled and wanna have a good time, and it’s a great way to make new friends. Keep it up!
