However, one day the app kicked me out and I had to sign back in. After that, I could not sign in for a month. Then the app disappeared and now it’s back, I can sign in, but nothing loads and when I refresh it, the app directs me to my phone settings? Everything in my settings is turned on, so I shut them off and turn them back on and it still directs me to settings without prompting why. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and virtually everything I could think of, but nothing still loads and I can’t make any changes to my account, and when I refresh it, it exits the app and takes me to settings. Someone please fix this. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t sign up *2024-10-06, version 8.4.3* Can’t sign up! Can’t get past setting up a new profile, because the app cannot determine my location. I’ve enabled location services and it still won’t work or let me search for my address manually :( ### 1/5 — can’t even register *2024-09-28, version 8.4.3* tried on multiple devices and get get past registration due to a location flaw with the app. ### 1/5 — @spikeball app creators *2024-09-23, version 8.4.3* Fix your login screen, I can’t get past the location even when everything is turned on. Please help, there is a bunch of other users with the same problem ### 1/5 — app is broken *2024-09-18, version 8.4.3* can't change location ### 3/5 — Buggy, minimally functional app *2024-08-30* For some reason I always receive two notifications for the same event at the exact same time. It could be an issue with my iPhone settings I suppose but I just wanted to post my review here and maybe others will agree. I can’t change my set location because it says I don’t have location services active in my OS settings, even though I do. It also does this when I try to type in my location (not using the “current location”). Otherwise it’s a great app to bring spikeball people together other than some bugs. ### 4/5 — Won’t let me put my location *2024-08-29, version 8.4.3* Trying to make a profile but keeps saying when trying to use my location that there’s a error and my tracking location is turned off but when I check my location is turned on so don’t know what the issue is ### 1/5 — App won’t let me create account! *2024-08-21, version 8.4.3* I’ve been trying to create an account and enabled everything from a location services point of view and it still is giving me an error where it never loads my location and won’t let me select any location! This means I can never create an account or use the app at all! I love Spikeball and play often but this makes the app unusable! ### 1/5 — Location *2024-08-14, version 8.4.3* Can’t login Location won’t work ### 1/5 — App is Broken *2024-08-13, version 8.4.3* I’m really into spikeball and was eager to use the app to connect with other players, but I’ve hit a wall at the registration screen. Despite enabling all location services in my settings, every time I try to use "Use current location," I keep getting the error message, "There was an error determining your location." Even attempting to manually input a location in the search bar leads nowhere. It’s a real letdown that the app isn’t working as expected. ### 1/5 — Can’t update my location on my profile *2024-08-13, version 8.4.3* I cannot change my location on my profile even after giving full location privileges. ### 3/5 — Can’t get into the app 😭 *2024-08-11* I love spikeball and play it all the time with my friends, it wanted to try my skill against some randoms. I can’t even select a location as when I click us current location it says it can’t find it, and putting in a location does nothing. It’s a shame because I rly was looking forward to it, and I’ve seen other reviews saying the same thing from awhile ago. Are y’all aware and trying to fix the problem, or do you just not care? ### 1/5 — Not working at all *2024-07-29, version 8.4.3* Location will not work when creating profile ### 1/5 — App won’t work *2024-07-29, version 8.4.3* I can’t get past the location page in making my profile! ### 1/5 — Cant register *2024-07-24, version 8.4.3* App gets stuck on setting my location step. Wont let me skip. Have tried everything ### 2/5 — Cannot Register *2024-07-18* Nice Idea, but even with Location services set to „Always“ I cant set a Home location during registering. When I try to type the city Karlsruhe (Germany), no drop down appears or anything, and clicking „Next“ just marks the Textbox as required… ### 1/5 — Broken App Cant Even Register *2024-07-17* Love spikeball with my whole heart and wanted to try out the app to find people to play with. The app will not even let me get past the registration screen. I have turned on every possible location service in my settings for this app and yet still when I click on "Use current location" in the choose current location tab of the registration, It pops up with this same message every single time, "There was an error determining your location." And then when I try to enter any location manually through the search bar that does not even work either. Super unfortunate that this app does not work. ### 4/5 — Two notifications for each event *2024-06-22* For some reason I always receive two notifications for the same event at the exact same time. It could be an issue with my iPhone settings I suppose but I just wanted to post my review here and maybe others will agree. Otherwise it’s a great app to bring spikeball people together other than some bugs. ### 4/5 — Just one thing *2024-01-06, version 8.4.3* The app kicks me out and it’s pretty annoying can someone fix this? ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2023-01-22, version 8.4.3* I can’t even get past the step after inputting my name and bio ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Location *2025-04-12, version 8.4.3* Location isn’t locationing ### 1/5 — Location tracking is broken *2025-04-08, version 8.4.3* Can’t use app because location can’t be set ### 1/5 — Not great *2025-04-06, version 8.4.3* Wont even let me create my profile without an error. I have everything turned on in settings and it still will not let me sign in. ### 1/5 — Wont let me sign up *2025-03-27, version 8.4.3* Won’t let me sign up, says to turn on location services, but I have it on and it won’t let me select a location so I can’t move past the sign up page ### 1/5 — App Issue *2025-01-26, version 8.4.3* I love spikeball with all my heart and think it is an incredible game. I rlly wanted to download this app to join tournaments and find people to play against, but it will not let me select a location even though I allowed the app to always see my location in settings therefore I can’t get into the app which is very upsetting. I really wanted to try this app so please fix this asap if possible! ### 1/5 — Location issue *2024-12-21, version 8.4.3* I can’t get it to move past the location screen even though I have location turned on for the app. ### 1/5 — Seems this app is broken *2024-11-13, version 8.4.3* Very dissapointed. Tried to sign up many times and many aspects of this app: location settings, login attempts, password reset etc is not working. Making it unusable. I hope someone is working on this. ### 1/5 — Can’t get passed location selection *2024-11-03, version 8.4.3* Please let us get passed that screen ### 1/5 — Broken app *2024-10-18, version 8.4.3* I’ve been playing spikeball for a couple years now and was excited to see there’s an app for it so I could meet up and play pick up games with people. However when I tried creating my account I got stuck on the choose your location screen and all it says is error even though I have my location set to always for the app so I can’t even use it. ### 1/5 — 😢 *2024-10-11, version 8.4.3* I wanted it to work but it can’t register because it can’t find my location. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really great. *2022-05-07, version 8.4.3* I like this app. It feels pretty professional and has a very good location search system. Hey SpikeBall last time I made a review about the problem with PFP you guys fixed it so I will mention another bug with the RSVP system. If someone changes their mind the counter doesn’t change down so someone can spam the buttons and make infinite RSVPS. Hope this helps :) ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-03-27, version 8.3.3* This app is a great way to bring people together to play the greatest sport on earth. Spike on!!! ### 5/5 — Flawless!! *2022-03-24, version 8.3.3* Amazing app! Easy to navigate, and a great way to get involved in your community! ### 5/5 — Just wow. *2022-03-23, version 8.3.3* Best app ever. So amazing. I can play spike all whenever I want by either finding a pick up or creating one and letting the people come to me. This is so genius and you’d have to be supernatural to have this come to pass so brilliantly. I love this app. I love this country. God bless. ### 5/5 — Great app! Easy to use and connect with fellow Spikeballers. *2022-03-23, version 8.3.3* This app is just great! Easy to use. Connecting with fellow spikeballers, pickup games, and just everything about spikeball, it’s all on the app! One of the most important app on my phone. ### 5/5 — Best game ever. *2022-03-22, version 8.3.3* Spikeball has revolutionized backyard and beach sports! Play several times a week. Great way to hang out, exercise, and meet new people. Love it! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2022-03-22, version 8.3.3* It takes a min to get used to it but once you do it’s great! ### 5/5 — This app is CLUTCH *2022-03-22* I’ve had a problem finding people to play Roundnet with ever since I graduated and all the boys have gone off elsewhere. Like, where are their priorities?? The spikeball app is CLUTCH and makes it super easy to find other players nearby. I’ve made so many great friends just from pickup games. And (next level thinking with this one) you have a player rating that shows others your skill level in Roundnet, so you never show up to a pickup and unexpectedly play some dude serving an upside down behind the back fwango reverse cut. Terrifying. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-03-22, version 8.3.3* This app is easy to use, clear, and allows the user to promote the game well!! Excellent work! ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2022-03-22, version 8.3.3* I love the spikeball app. From seeing other players’ highlight reels to playing hot potato with the staff, the app can keep you entertained for hours. It’s fun to see what the spikeball community is up to and what cool tricks I can learn next. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
