Playoff was designed by athletes for athletes. Being a high level, competitive athlete is an unbelievable accomplishment and an experience that often shapes the rest of your life. Collegiate and professional athletes have invested thousands of hours of hard work and practice into their sport(s). Whether you are still an athlete or not, dating someone who can understand that perspective and has that shared life is experience is invaluable. Most dating apps match people based on common interests and experiences. With Playoff, you can guarantee that each of your potential matches has a major life experience in common with you. Whether your career was cut short due to injury, being cut, or pursuing other passions, Playoff is for any athlete who competed after high school in a verified collegiate or professional program for at least one season (Junior College, NAIA, NCAA - all divisions, or professional and Olympic athletes who did not attend college). The verification process is in place to make sure that each user was on a team roster for at least one season. Playing time or not, scholarship or not, Playoff understands and respects the commitment and sacrifice required from all athletes who have participated in a collegiate or professional organization. Athletes will be able to use the free version which will provide filters for age, gender and distance. They will also have option to purchase the premium version of the app for $7.99/month. The premium version will allow athletes to filter potential matches based on sports played and school attended. Athletes will also be given unlimited "mulligans", which will allow them to revisit an athlete that they previously swiped through. Once verified, athletes will begin by creating their profile. They will login through facebook, add/crop pictures, set up filters, input athletic information, and create a short bio about themselves. After their profile is complete, athletes will immediately be able to start swiping through potential matches. Once an athlete matches with another athlete, they will be able to start chatting with one another. Playoff will keep track of each user's recent matches and all conversations.

It struggles to load pictures. The distance preferences also don’t seem to save. I get profiles from hundreds of miles away. I hope these are easy fixes because I love the idea. ### 2/5 — Superrr slow *2022-12-05, version 2.0.7* After hitting heart or x it takes forever to get to the next person only to show that the photos of the next person won’t load. Not sure if it’s due the iOS updates or other issues. Could be a great app though if fixed! ### 1/5 — Slow to load, no feedback *2022-09-28, version 2.0.7* The app is incredibly slow to load a new person, you have to wait 30-60 seconds for a new profile to load after you “bench” a potential match. There is also little to no feedback on if your profile is approved and made live. The main feed of potential matches doesn’t follow your preferences. I was shown people miles outside my preference and people well below my age preference. Why are you showing me 18 year old people when my preference is minimum 25? ### 1/5 — Worst dating app *2022-03-16, version 2.0.7* The first week app worked then had major problems. Originally could swipe and read profiles, now nothing appears. Take anyone who will pay. The elitist structure of only open to ex college athletes is strange, guess they want trickle down economics? The app has problems working and bugs. Anytime I open nothing appears, no people, no messages, no par messages, nothing! Only people on app are those who work at company. ### 1/5 — Double charged premium membership with no access *2022-02-12, version 2.0.7* I have the premium membership and yet for some reason it is not letting me have access to the premium functions anymore. It also double charged me for the month. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-08-19, version 2.0.7* Love, love, love this app. Finally someone made the perfect dating app for athletes! Love the app and the features :) ### 5/5 — Love the Playoff mission *2021-08-12, version 2.0.7* Athletes for athletes by athletes. The kind of app everyone wishes could replace the competition. Download and spread the word all you sexy athletes! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-08-12, version 2.0.7* From the concept to the functionality, it’s been a great experience for me! Highly recommend for any athletes looking to meet other likeminded individuals! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-08-12, version 2.0.7* I’m so happy there is FINALLY a dating app for athletes. Our experience as athletes is so unique and there is nothing better than finding a lifelong partner who knows how to be a real TEAMMATE! ### 5/5 — Thank you playoff! *2021-08-12, version 2.0.7* Playoff gave me the ability to meet my boyfriend of 1 year! So thankful to have someone in my life that understands the athletic lifestyle we used to have in college and incorporate into our lives today ## Frequently asked questions about Playoff ### What is Playoff - Athlete Dating?
