WhatPadel

Your regular padel partner, without asking in the club group chat every week. WhatPadel finds players who fit with you: your level, the side you're missing, your schedule and your clubs. Swipe, match and message them to set up your first game. NOT ANOTHER BOOKING APP You don't book courts here or play one-off games with strangers. WhatPadel helps you find someone to play with regularly: to train, compete, enter official tournaments or just have a friendly weekly game. HOW IT WORKS • Create your player profile: level, side, goals and when you can play. • Discover players near you, each with a compatibility percentage. • If you both like each other, it's a match and the chat opens. • Message them and arrange a game. 10 VARIABLES, NOT ONE WhatPadel combines 10 variables: level, side (right or left), goals, availability, how often you play, clubs, personality, playing style, court surface and wall play. It doesn't look for someone just like you, but for someone who complements you: if you play on the right, you want a strong left-side partner. FREE OR PREMIUM Free: 10 likes a day and skip as many profiles as you want. Premium: unlimited likes, see who visits your profile and who has liked you, more visibility in Discover, a Premium badge and grid view. WHERE THE PLAYERS ARE WhatPadel works across Spain. Right now most players are in Madrid, followed by Barcelona. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: https://www.whatpadelapp.com/privacy-policy
