## What is Joybad?

Joybad is the ultimate all-in-one management platform designed specifically for badminton enthusiasts, club organizers, and community groups.

We know how chaotic organizing badminton matches can be: messy chat group queue lists, mismatched player levels leading to poor experiences, and the headache of cost reconciliation. Joybad is designed to digitize and streamline these processes, allowing you to focus on the joy of the game.

Whether you are a key organizer of a badminton club, an advanced player seeking higher-level competition, or a beginner looking for friendly matches, you will find everything you need here.

Core Features:

For Organizers & Clubs (Effortless Management)

Instant Match Publishing: Set time, location (with map navigation), participant limits, estimate total costs, and specific level requirements (both Floor and Ceiling levels) in seconds.

Proxy Joining (For Lazy Friends): Address the pain point of friends who don’t want to download apps. Organizers or registered members can one-click book "Guest spots" for friends, ensuring App numbers match real attendance.

Closing the Payment Loop: After the match, input the actual total cost, and the system automatically calculates AA prices. Organizers can easily verify payment status for each member.


For Players & Members (Seamless Experience)

Dynamic Rating System: Based on match attendance and performance, establish an objective rating (P1~D9) to find matched opponents.

Smart Waitlist: Match full? Join the waitlist, and the system automatically substitutes you when someone drops out. Real-time push notifications are sent.

Real-time Notifications: Receive instant updates on court numbers, navigation, and AA billing alerts.

Multiple Logins: Supports Apple Sign-In, WeChat login, and other low-friction methods. No complex email registration is required.

Why Choose Joybad?

We are not just a tool; we are a digital home dedicated to improving the community atmosphere and fostering player growth. We prioritize privacy protection and provide a smooth, professional dark mode UI to make every step of booking easy.

Download Joybad today, say goodbye to chaotic chat lists, and return to a pure badminton experience!


## Version history (last 5 releases)

Fixed an issue where the app could close right after opening on the latest iOS.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-10-05

- Export upcoming sessions that still have spots as text or as an image, then share it in the group chat. The image shows the time, venue, spots left, and a QR code to join.
- Date filter fix: on Sunday the Weekend shortcut no longer shows a weekend that has already started, and past days are left out.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-03

The home session list is easier to scan. 
• Sessions are grouped by date, with filters for today, tomorrow, open spots, your level, and area 
• Cards are more compact and show how many men and women have joined 
• Create a session from the + in the tab bar; the top corner is now alerts 
• New badges, including Pay king, Supreme VIP driver, and Weekday escapee 
• Limited Halloween app icon

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-29

This update makes paying after a session clearer, and gives your profile a new court-side look.
• After a session, confirm the organiser’s amount — and mark it if you paid for a friend
• Profile redesigned with your rank, win–loss record, matches played, and sessions hosted
• Four new badges: Gugu king, Progress ace, All-round partner, and Super sub
• Clearer session cards, plus a festive app icon for the holiday

### 1.1.3 — 2026-09-27

- Achievement badges are here. A celebration plays when you unlock one, including the first time you open the app each day.
- Wearing an achievement badge feels clearer: the badge gives a small bounce, then the screen closes and your profile and badge wall update.
- Game history now has its own page and lists only sessions with a recorded score.
- Profile settings are grouped, with account and security on a separate page.
- Match cards now show the organizer’s note.
