Cool app!

Initially I had an issue with signing up, but the sign up issue was fixed quickly!

Thanks TennisPAL team for the speedy response!

The app is really cool and shows you tennis players and courts nearby. Love the concept!

Not able to create an account

It is buggy and doesn’t let you create an account

Can’t signin

Waste. Don’t let me sign in. Frustrating

Usable now…

The developers were able to fix some of the bugs for my user experience. I will get the paid app and make a different rating after that. Thanks!

Usable now…

I liked this app before because the functionality was very easy and no ads were great. While I do understand why it’s a paid subscription, I don’t mind that part of the app because I love to play tennis and I would like to meet people in that process. The app is just not functional for my account. I keep on getting an authentication error thus I can’t use it to chat with people for setting up times. I can’t even look at my own profile and make changes. I tried to delete and redo my profile and it has not deleted the account so I’m stuck in a loop. Like I said I understand why the app needed to change but at the end of the day the app has to be functional for users to use the app effectively. It is a good app before but now it’s not as much which sucks because how could a free app be better than something that you pay for. You worked hard as a developer for the app to be great and now it’s just an unstable app. Hope you guys can fix the authentication issues for me atleast so I can continue to support this app.

Issue

No sound when getting messages from chat

Trash app

Paid for the sub, tried to look for a pal. Input any location, “records not found”???? How do i find someone without put in a location?

Great app

It’s cool if you wanna time travel and see what apps in 2007 were like

Cannot Join

Tried to join, but after clicking it keeps loading and loading indefinitely. Tried 4 times

“ABOUT” section not working

Unable to write anything in About section. When I click it the keyboard pops up for 1 second then disappears. So I can’t write where I am or what I’m looking for, please fix! iPhone 13 iOS most current

No one to play

The interface worked much better than play your court app. However, very few if any active users in my area. Not sure why you would spend money on this in the Cincinnati area at least.

Wouldn’t update

Wouldn’t update and wouldn’t let me use the app without update

Requires access to all photos in order to sign up

I limited access to a select photo or two to choose as my profile picture and it will not let me proceed with signing up unless I give it full access to every photo and video on my device.

I saw in another review with the same issue and you (the developer) replied saying you fixed this issue. But you didn’t fix it at all because I just downloaded the newest version and can’t sign up unless I give you the rights to every amount of data I have to give. Gross. Not paying for this service if it’s already being this difficult on the front end

UPDATED May 5, 2025. Hi Mygqt, thank you again for notifying us of this issue, we found the bug and fixed this permissions issue in our latest app update. The app can be used with limited photo access. We appreciate your feedback and we hope that you'll give TennisPAL a try. We have new members joining everyday and your positive experience will help us be the best tennis player community. Sincerely, TennisPAL Support ------- Hello Mygqt, Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Your privacy is very important to us and we want you to completely be in control of the access you provided. When the previous user requested this, we made changes to make sure that you can grant limited access and still use the app. Apparently, there is an issue and you are not able to proceed when limited photos is selection. We will work on this and publish an update as soon as possible with this issue resolved. We really appreciate your review to raise this issue to us. I will update this review when we have fixed this. Thank you again!

I need app developer to contact me

Hello. App developer please contact me, I have paid $4.99 subscription and the app still indicates that I'm in free version. I have receipt that I have paid. I need this issue to be either resolved or I would like to have my money refunded. I already canceled subscription but I'm still active until September 20. I will appreciate to be contacted asap.

Used to be good, now unusable

This app used to be a good resource for finding other players to hit around with. With forced updates everything is now behind a paywall and the app is basically unusable without buying a subscription.

On top of that, nowhere in the app is there any information about their data collection practices, how to submit a data request, etc.; I can’t even find a link to their privacy policy. I’m surprised the App Store allows that.

Very disappointing.

Hello Product_19, Thanks for your feedback. Since 2016, TennisPAL was a free app bearing all development and marketing costs. Unfortunately, due to rising costs and lack of support from the community, TennisPAL was planned to shut down in 2023. As a final attempt to keep the community alive, we rebuilt the app with subscriptions as a way to sustain the costs of running the community. We hope that the people that find value in TennisPAL support it's existence. Our data privacy practices are clearly outlined in our Privacy Policy. We have our Privacy Policy on the Get Started page in the app before you log in, you can find a link to it in the footer of our website, and lastly, our App Store listing has a link to our Privacy Policy as required by the Apple App Store. Feel free to review our policies and terms from these locations. Your positive reviews are very important to us as it helps people find and join the community. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@tennispal.com

Helps find new partners

Main thing is to find other players to hit with, thus the chat is the most important part to me. It works fine enough, but the moments page is pointless and shouldn’t be the starting page, imo. “Create post” should be more of a broadcast message to those nearby wanting it.

Response from developer

Hello Maximus, Thank you for your feedback! We are working hard to make improvements to TennisPAL based on the community's suggestions. Your feedback is helpful to learn and make TennisPAL the best tennis community. Sending a Broadcast to nearby players is easy to do with TennisPAL. Simply tap on your profile picture at the top of Moments and you can broadcast a message to people near you. Additionally, you can start with a FindPAL search and then continue on to Broadcast a message to the people you find. Thank you for being a part of the TennisPAL community and we'd love to hear your suggestions by email at support@tennispal.com.

It used to be good, now it’s just corporate trying to make money off you

It used to be a good app to look for tennis players, now that it’s monetized and they ask money for everything, looking your level or even sending someone message after a bit. Now, no one wants to be here. I wish they monetized it in a different way. This is not it.

Unusable

Moved from a free app to a paid subscription model but with no visible improvement or added features. Why charge money and add no functionality or value? It is unusable now

Messed up app

Nice job messing up the app. It was fine the way it was and now it is unusable. Don’t waste your time downloading this. You are better off looking for tennis buddies on Facebook groups or other groups. Old contacts are gone now too with this update. Delete now!!!

No need to add your response because it is just B.S. it is shutting down because the app sucked and now you think charging people will help? Again everyone… delete this app now and shut this app down!!!! Greedy developers can go find another job!!!

Response from developer

Hey Vballingnsac, Thanks for your feedback. If you're having trouble getting into your account to reach your old contact, please reach out to support@tennispal.com TennisPAL was shutting down in 2023. These changes are to keep the community online. Since 2016, we were a free app bearing all development and marketing costs. We hope that the people that find value in TennisPAL support its existence. We still offer free access but unlimited access is available for less than a cup of coffee per month.

Decent

App seems decent, though I hate that it forces you to allow full access to photos.

Only downside there isn’t many where I live, wish they’d let you see results before charging you.
