About

NetSpect

Features
Read full description

NetSpect is for the group chat that never turns into an actual game. Start a pickup game right now, or put one on the calendar. Everyone in your group gets a notification, and you can see who's actually coming before you head out. HOW IT WORKS Create a group and share your invite code. Your group is private — people join with the code, not by browsing. Start a game now or schedule one. Pick the court, set how long you're playing, and your group gets notified. See who's in. Real names, a real count, updated live as people join or drop out. Check in when you arrive. NetSpect confirms you made it to the court by GPS, so "I'm on my way" turns into something you can actually count on. Keep it in one place. Every group gets its own chat, roster, and shared history. CREDITS Accepting a game reserves a credit. Check in at the court and it comes straight back to you. It's a lightweight way to keep everyone honest about showing up — credits can't be bought, sold, or transferred, and there are no in-app purchases. PRIVACY No email, no password, no social login. Your account is anonymous and you pick a display name. Location is used only to confirm you arrived at your court. NetSpect does not track your movements — your phone watches for a small boundary around the court and tells the app when you cross it, nothing more. Requires iPhone. Free, with no ads.
