Bay Area is dead. App is good for finding courts. App is glitchy ### 2/5 — Pay to play *2025-04-26, version 5.0.8* Looked great but it’s a subscription. No thanks. ### 2/5 — Constant popups *2025-03-10, version 5.0.5* Every 3rd time I click on a court, I’m prompted to upgrade to the paid version. Sick of the app already. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Not really useful *2024-07-25* I’ve had this app for a couple years and struggle to find any reason to use it. The user interface structure is awful and not intuitive (why is the home icon not the first selection?) There are at least four different message types (profile feed, social feed, messages, activity/looking to play) that seem to be independent and are difficult to navigate, and I suspect this is why I’ve never had success finding games when traveling via a “looking to play “ message. I’ve yet to get DUPR integration to work despite multiple attempts over the time I’ve had the app. ### 5/5 — The Future of Pickleball! *2024-02-01* PicklePlay has been an outstanding tool in not only promoting the game but connecting me to new places. With its useful map features you can find courts where ever you are. Locally I’ve implemented my club so we are able to track and see when/where everyone will be. Give PicklePlay a try, from tips and tricks to connectivity there isn’t a better way to grow your game right now! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-01-24, version 4.11.0* Easy to download, use,and find games! ### 5/5 — The Pickleball player’s app! *2023-12-27* Fantastic app fully designed with the active Pickleball player in mind. I love the continual improvement of the app thru added functionality and the development team has been very responsive to any suggested tweaks and ideas. This app has great potential to become and remain the number one app for Pickleball players worldwide!!! ### 5/5 — Solid *2023-12-13, version 4.8.7* Great app. Needs better features in terms of meet ups and rated play. Also would be cool to see local tournaments based on locations. ### 2/5 — bugs *2023-11-15, version 4.8.7* bugs bugs bugs ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Annual fee for app *2024-08-31, version 4.30.3* You should tell there is a charge to download the app before I go through all my personal info…I am not impressed ### 1/5 — Constantly glitches *2024-08-15, version 4.30.1* This app constantly kicks you out of your club —- I can be looking at an event and kicked out - Looking at the calendar / get kicked out - I’ve reported it numerous times and it’s so frustrating I hate to use it - also I can’t remove weird followers so annoying ### 1/5 — App not working *2024-06-18, version 4.30.0* Trying to sign up, but the app is not working. Very frustrating! ### 1/5 — Not going to do it *2024-04-04, version 4.20.1* I am not going to hand over payment info for a “free” trial. Deleting app now. ### 1/5 — Can’t create an account *2024-03-11, version 4.15.2* Pls contact me. Thx. ### 1/5 — Updated the app and now every item I click on makes the app shut down. *2023-12-23, version 4.9.5* I don’t know what went wrong with the update, but it doesn’t work on a new iPhone. I liked the app a lot, but can’t use it now. Bummed… ### 1/5 — Crashfest *2023-12-23, version 4.9.5* Crash anytime you click on anything ### 1/5 — Almost, but not quite *2023-11-28, version 4.8.7* I really like the idea of this app. Unfortunately, if you add something that you need to change, the app doesn’t allow it, which is pretty frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pickleball Newby *2025-03-06, version 5.0.5* I am new to Pickleball. This app is great to learn more about Pickleball and find courts in my area. Great resource!! ### 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.
