Rostara takes the chaos out of running a weekly pickup game. It is built for amateur sport: soccer, futsal, basketball, volleyball, or anything else where the same crew turns up every week and one organizer ends up juggling RSVPs, fair teams and "who still owes for the pitch" in an overloaded group chat. FAIR TEAMS IN ONE TAP • Rate players on the skills that matter in your sport. Individual scores stay private: teammates only ever see an average. • Auto-balance splits whoever is coming into even teams, and the balance breakdown shows how close they are, skill by skill. • Prefer to pick the sides yourself? Build teams by hand, then publish them so everyone knows which team they are on. KNOW WHO IS COMING • Members RSVP with a tap. Player limits, waitlists and guests are handled for you. • Schedule a game ahead and let it open for RSVPs on its own. • Add any game to your calendar and open the venue in your maps app. KEEP THE GROUP IN THE LOOP • Post notices on the group's bulletin board, with reactions and read receipts. • Get a notification when a game opens, when teams are published and more. Every kind can be switched off on its own. • Run several groups from one app: your futsal crew, your basketball league and the office volleyball night. • Run a quick tournament of your own, with standings that update as scores come in. • Available in 12 languages. ROSTARA PRO, FOR GROUPS THAT WANT MORE Everything above is free. An optional Rostara Pro subscription adds, for the groups you choose: • Bookkeeping: charge pitch fees and dues, split a cost evenly or by custom shares, record payments and see who still owes. • Tournaments for the whole group. • Warnings, suspensions and fines, by rules you set. • Group history: who keeps playing, how full games get, guests and teammates. • Every member can rate players and vote on team suggestions. • Your own skills and weights. Rostara's bookkeeping is a record of what your group agreed. It never holds or moves your money. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Rostara Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly, in plans that cover 1, 2, 3 or 5 groups. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Terms of Service: https://rostara.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://rostara.app/privacy
