## What is Pickup?

Pickup is the fastest way to get in a game. Find pickup basketball, soccer, tennis, pickleball, volleyball and more happening near you right now — or host your own in seconds and let your crew know.

FIND A GAME
• A live map of open games near you — sport, time, court, and who's in
• Filter by sport and day, get directions, tap once to join
• No games yet? Be the first to call one

HOST IN SECONDS
• Post a one-off run or a standing weekly game
• Your crew and followers hear about it the moment it's live
• Lock it in when enough hands go up

KEEP SCORE, FOR REAL
• A live scoreboard the whole roster follows — basketball, tennis sets, pickleball, and more
• Balance teams with a tap
• Score from your Apple Watch, right on your wrist

CLIMB THE LADDER
• Earn a real, local skill rating from games you actually play
• Every confirmed result moves your rank

YOUR CREW
• Message teammates, spin up crew chats, and run it back every week

Pickup is built for the people who show up. Reliable games, your regular crew, and a rank you earn on the court.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-13

Faster, smarter, and more local.

NEW — NEARBY GAME ALERTS
Get a heads-up the moment someone calls a game near you, so you never miss a run on your court.

TRULY LOCAL
Your ladder, standings, and community now show players from your actual city — not from across the country.

QUIETER, SMARTER NOTIFICATIONS
Reminders now respect your local quiet hours (no more 3am pings), skip games you already said you can't make, and won't double-notify when you're mentioned.

RUN IT BACK, WITH YOUR CREW
Rematches now bring the same crew back with you instead of posting an empty slot. Your run-day reminder also kicks in sooner.

FASTER EVERYWHERE
Snappier community feed, quicker ladder, and a lighter live scoreboard.

Plus a pile of reliability fixes. Thanks for playing — tell us what you want next.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-08-08

(release notes for 346):
• Score from your Apple Watch — now stays perfectly in sync with the phone board
• Earn your rank: finishing a team-balanced game now counts for the whole roster
• Faster to post a game — single tap for one-off runs
• Sign-up is quicker — city and name are optional now
• Join a weekly run once and you're in for the series
• Lots of polish + reliability fixes

### 1.1.2 — 2026-07-22

• Your crew's next run, pinned in chat — one-tap RSVP and "Who's in?" polls.
• "Locked in" tells you a game is really happening before you show up.
• Private by default — you appear as a general area on the map, not your exact spot.
• Photos in DMs, better host tools, run reminders, and full VoiceOver support.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-19

You can now explore Pickup before signing up — tap "Continue as guest" to browse real
games and rosters near you. Calling a game is faster than ever, and a new show-up rating
quietly rewards the players who actually turn up. Smoother, warmer, and quicker throughout.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-18

No release notes.
