I am new to Pickleball. This app is great to learn more about Pickleball and find courts in my area. Great resource!!

### 1/5 — Forced to subscribe

*2025-02-01, version 4.50.5*

I just want to take a lesson from the Calgary, Alberta Pickleball Club and they tell me to use this app. I come to use this app and while I can get a free 7 day trial, I have to pay these guys in order to sign up for a lesson. This is not going well and is a poor user experience b

### 5/5 — Easy to use and works great!

*2024-12-19*

Pickleplay was super easy to get up and running and get our local players signed up. Then on the days where we had round robins and open play, it was easy for players to use and understand. I highly recommend PicklePlay to other pickleball groups!

### 5/5 — Find courts everywhere

*2024-12-04, version 4.30.5*

I love it. Whenever I’m traveling I can find courts and if they have lights, open play, all the details.

### 2/5 — Set up profile

*2024-10-13, version 4.30.5*

Not able to produce a profile to even get started.  Definitely not user friendly

### 5/5 — Pickleball enthusiast

*2024-10-03, version 4.30.5*

This program is great for an active and avid player.

### 1/5 — Seems like it should be more useful

*2024-09-30, version 4.30.5*

The app shows info for pickleball happening several states away with no ability to filter the feed.
