Ratings and reviews

Perhaps a nice idea, but it has not worked with me in last 1 month. I play tennis, found multiple activities near me, requested and sometimes even got accepted. However, people change venues, never respond requests, or simply not show up as if they have offline settlement. i believe, this app is works better for team sports not individual ones.

Excellent for folks that want to find games in their niche. Caught a small loophole though around the rating system. The rating bar/ overall rating based on the cumulative scores is so randomized. There seems to be absolutely no logic behind that scoring. Folks with a lower cumulative mean score has a bar rating higher than that of another with a much higher mean score. How do you calculate the ratings bar? The other issue is - at times, it doesn't reflect on the total ratings card post a game.

Old issue with notifications aside, the app is great for finding players with similar interests. Getting a good venue on the other hand, is highly subject to your luck. The pictures the venue uploads are outdated. The app gives you no options to upload images when you rate the venue. So you have no way to see if the venue is as good as it was 6 years ago when they built it. Last weekend I played at a football turf I rented through playo and much of the turf was missing or patched out.
