## What is Pickup?

In our disconnected world, basketball is more than a game. It’s a lifeline, but finding a quality, consistent run is still difficult for most adults. The Pickup App gets you off the bench and back in the game by helping you find, join, and host runs, track your wins, and connect with players who share your love for basketball. Pickup is more than an app; it is a community designed to keep the athlete in you alive.

Find Your Five: Discover runs happening near you that match your playing style. Filter based on location, cost, position needs, and competition level.

Organize Your Run: Skip the group chat and plan your weekly runs and leagues with a single tap. Host public or private runs, vet players, rate and rank leaders, track signups, build waitlists, and collect payments in one place.

Up Your Game: Set goals, monitor your stats, and follow your progress. Unlock access to better games as your performance improves and earn recognition when you play well.

House Your Highlights: Capture and share your favorite clips. Showcase your skills and relive your standout moments.

### 5/5 — Incredible! Finally

*2026-05-30*

Been waiting for an app like this that actually delivers value. This is it. Has completely changed my ability to host games and find games in my area and when I travel. Shoutout to whoever made this - they thought it through

### 1/5 — What’s the point?

*2026-05-22*

All the good runs are “vetted” and private. While understandable, if you’re just gonna play with your friends why don’t you just make a gc? Why wouldn’t I do the same? Why do I need an app to pull up to a random park? Seems fairly ineffectual.

**Developer response:** Hey Stephen, we hate to hear that's been your experience! Not the point of the app. We're actively working to host quality runs that are open to the public. We will be renting gyms and opening slots for you to join! Stick with the community, lots of good runs to come!

### 5/5 — Clean execution

*2026-05-15*

Great tool for grabbing local games, look forward to more features to come

### 5/5 — B Ball made simple

*2026-04-23*

Simple way to find pickup games and save the hassle of hoping to make the cut at the lifetime run.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-02-28*

I get notifications that members joined but takes me back to my club page with nothing to accept and no members in the club

**Developer response:** Hi, we are so sorry you experienced that issue. Please try to refresh the app and see if your members appear now, we have fixed this bug. To make things right for your issue we will give you a free 1 year membership on our platinum plan so you can make money hosting games with your club. Please email our support to receive your code. 

Best of luck with your club!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

### 5/5 — Pickup basketball made easy

As a pickup and rec league hooper with a busy schedule, it was getting tougher and tougher to coordinate games. That was until Pickup came along. This is a great app to easily create and join local pickup runs.
