Read full descriptionHide full description
Know how busy your favorite pickleball courts are before you leave the house. Paddle Stack uses automatic geofencing to track court occupancy in real-time — no check-ins, no buttons, no hassle. Just show up and play. The app handles the rest. WHAT YOU'LL SEE • Active Players — how many players are at the courts right now • Open Courts — how many courts are available to play • Paddles Stacked — how many players are waiting for a court HOW IT WORKS Grant location access. That's it. Paddle Stack automatically detects when you arrive and leave using your phone's geofencing — even when the app is in the background or fully closed. Player counts update in real-time for everyone using the app, so the whole community stays informed. NO MANUAL CHECK-INS Forget tapping buttons or opening the app when you pull into the parking lot. Paddle Stack works silently in the background, updating your status automatically the moment you enter or exit the court area. BUILT FOR PICKLEBALL PLAYERS Paddle Stack speaks your language. "Paddles Stacked" is the number of players waiting for a court — a term every pickler already knows. The dashboard is clean, bold, and readable at a glance so you can check conditions without slowing your pace. YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Location data is used only to detect your proximity to the court. It is never stored, tracked, or shared with anyone. You can review and change location permissions in iOS Settings at any time. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 16 or later • "Always Allow" location permission for automatic tracking • Active internet connection for real-time data
