Fake rating players ~ bad experience

Many players are getting star ratings much more than there level of play since they mostly play with their friends. Maybe you need to track ratings if they usually play with same play-pals. For a new guy who wants to play at his level like advance ends up playing with amateur+ to intermediate level. Its frustrating to play with these fake rated players and their group.

Feature Request : Payment tracker

Love the app. Minor bugs here and there are always expected not that I have come across any in the new updates. My request is that if you guys could add a paid or not tracker for the hosts to keep track of who's paid.
1) Manually tick player if they've paid
2) If feasible add a paid ($) button or something of sorts in the game discussion chat which also updates the host's payment tracker.

Keep up the good work team !

Thank you for your review. Enjoy playing & keep supporting us :) Regarding your expenses settlement, the host and each player can mark themselves paid on the expenses section of the particular activity page. The payment logs are maintained on the same page for the host to track them. You could write to us at contact@playo.co with your contact details, and we will arrange a callback for you.

Request to add “no of hrs” filter

Hello Playo developer, it looks very good on the filter options added to the app.. I would recommended also to have the “No of hours” filter option to filter for how much hour a player wanted to play for.. example- I always recommend to play more than an hour. Also if it is an hour game, I would like to play where only 5 players are in.. Many host keep 6pm Ayers for 1hr game. It does not feel effective at least for me.. it would be appreciated if added “no of hours” filter.

App is not loading

After update uninstall and install it’s still not loading

Useful App but Experiencing Frequent Loading and Error Issues

The app and the idea behind it are very useful, but lately I’ve been facing a lot of loading issues. After the recent updates, it takes a very long time for pages to load, and the error page appears quite frequently.

I wish the app would stay simple and focus on working smoothly. Instead, it seems like more features are being added while the overall experience has become worse, even for basic and straightforward functions.

Dear Lucky, apologies for the inconvenience caused. We are unable to find any support ticket regarding your query. Kindly raise a Help & Support ticket through the app, and we will surely assist you.

Failure to setup Account

I don’t understand why the app doesn’t allow you to create games when you have already logged into the account using your email address. The app keeps prompting to enter the phone number for OTP. Even after entering the phone number it doesn’t send an OTP. The app should allow users to use email or phone number to get login completed. The developers need to fix this issue.

it can be improved for hosts

The option of rehost from old events not even carry forward te timings. the players who regularly hoat on daily basis, it’s a headache to fill all tye details.

app should allow us to carry forward everything when we select rehost with only date should be asked. or do hosting with options such as repeated for complete week or complete month or only weekdays on same time. which will be good to have

Dear Kishore, kindly update the app to the latest version 5.0.2 and relaunch it to rehost the games, as with the latest update, it will ask you to fill in the date and time. Regarding the bulk game hosting, we will surely look into this, as feedback has been taken. Please write us at contact@playo.co and we will surely assist you further,

Terrible UX

The latest update was terrible and it is frustrating to find games with all the filters on top. Please roll back to the previous layout and keep it simple.

Also please adjust the skill filter. It is kind of hard to find games when there is a long list of games. The problem is most of the hosts set the level open till the highest level. If I want to play with advance players only, the skill filter doesn’t help as it includes these games as well. If I select the skill levels as advanced and professional, I am expecting the filter to exclude the games with beginner, amateur and intermediate levels. Right now I have to scroll through this long list to find a game.

Dear Kunnummel, thank you for sharing the suggestion, and we will surely look into this. However, currently, if the host has not set any specific required skill set, the activity will reflect the host's skill set so that players can also rely on it and make a decision to join the game. If you have any further queries, please write us at contact@playo.co and we will surely assist you.

Can’t get started

Tried with my Apple ID but didn’t allow me in, then with my email address and no joy. Such a shame as it looks like a great app! If it works!!!!

It’s always dilemmatic waiting

Dear Kartik, while i am using playo since past 4 years now, on and off and really enjoying, thanks for that but here is my critique feedback. I am using playo just for booking badminton court, (that i could have done after once booking via playo and rest directly contacting manager of court). I believe the another thing i wanted to use playo was for peer to peer game/feedback. Back earlier i was having my group and use to just use playo for booking. No peer feedback/community needed, now after moving to different city with no group i am requesting people to let me in their game, sometimes dropping my own number also so i can pay immediately for their assurance not backing out at last moment but here is catch Nobody’s care’s to respond to query/game request, for me it’s deliemmatic waiting, whether person is gonna accept it. Even facebook has option to accept or reject it, but community here just keeps request on hanging for last minute and many a times even after crossing time limit. What’s the point of community app, if their is no clear yes or no for it, just call it sports center booking app, don’t sell it for community app then.
I hope something you will definitely workaround for betterment of this, either penalty or incentive or something else to solve it out.

OTP not working

Not sending me the OTP and therefore not letting me book anything.

Playo the great booking app

Playo is a really convenient app for sports lovers who want to book turfs, courts, or join local games easily. The interface is clean and user-friendly, and it’s great that you can find players or organize matches nearby without much hassle.

Payment and booking confirmations are usually smooth, and most venues listed are reliable. The in-app chat and team management features make coordinating games easier too.

However, sometimes a few venues cancel or change timings at the last minute, and customer support responses can be a bit slow. Also, certain areas still have limited venue options.

Overall, Playo is one of the best platforms for sports enthusiasts looking to stay active, find games, and meet new players — especially useful for football, badminton, and cricket bookings

Impossible to sign up

Keeps saying ‘maximum limit reached’ both for phone and email sign up

not intuitive to use.. most things difficult to find

not intuitive to use.. most things difficult to find:
(1) When you click on a game that you have organized, and some player has already been accepted by you, it still doesn’t show the players part of your game.. it may be there somewhere but it is for sure not easy to find.. I haven’t been able to find it after spending 5mins in the app and trying all possible ways I could think off
(2) now after playing with the player, struggling to find how to rate the player etc
(3) if you create multiple games to play on different dates, the app only shows one game, other games even though it says created successfully, are NOT visible.. crazy

Need to push the - Rate players prompt

Many times after games, the option to rate players does not show up, or it is difficult to find. So many good players will be hardstuck in the same level for a longer time. There has to be a way in which it shows up in front- when you open the app.
It will highly improve the quality of games and user experience.

Great App with One Frustrating Flaw

Playo is a great app if you’re looking to find games and connect with other players. The overall experience is really smooth, and it’s been super helpful for staying active and meeting people who enjoy the same sports. The only downside I’ve faced is that some players tend to cancel at the last moment—sometimes just an hour or two before the game—which can mess things up for everyone else. It would be great if the app had a feature that either prevents such last-minute cancellations or restricts players from dropping out within a certain time window.
