Sportspeople · The app

Get the Sportspeople appon your phone.

It's out on the App Store. On Android it is still in testing — and if that's your phone, joining the test is what gets it onto Google Play for everyone else.

Rather not install anything? The whole app runs in your browser at www.sportspeople.app — same account, same everything.

I have an iPhone

Good news — it's already out.

Sportspeople has been on the App Store since October. Nothing to join, nothing to wait for.

  1. 1

    Get it from the App Store

    Free, and it works on any iPhone running iOS 16.4 or newer.

    Open the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in

    With Apple, Google or your e-mail address. Then add a photo and the sports you play, so people know who is coming.

  3. 3

    Tell us what you find

    Anything slow, odd or unclear. The next two slides show what to try, and where to send it.

Like being early? We run a TestFlight group for the next version before it ships — write to [email protected] and we'll add you. Have an Android too? .

I have an Android

Send us one message and we'll add you.

Google only lets a named list of people install an app that is still being tested. Tell us which account to put on the list and the rest takes a couple of minutes.

  1. 1

    WhatsApp us your Google address

    The e-mail your phone uses for the Play Store — the one under Play Store → your picture at the top. Send it to +41 79 700 12 60.

    Send it on WhatsApp
  2. 2

    We add you to the testers

    Usually the same day. Google sends you a short e-mail saying you have been added — nothing to do with it, it just means you are on the list.

  3. 3

    Open the test link and install

    Tap Become a tester, then Download it on Google Play. If Google says the app isn't available, the list hasn't caught up yet: wait a minute and reload.

    Open the test link
  4. 4

    Sign in

    Open Sportspeople and sign in with Google, Apple or your e-mail address — your feedback then reaches us with your name on it.

  5. 5

    Tell us what you find

    Anything slow, odd or unclear. The next two slides show what to try, and where to send it.

Please keep the app on your phone until we tell you the test is over — we will write the moment it is. Google only lets us go public once 12 testers have kept it installed for 14 days in a row, so one person leaving restarts the count for everybody.

What to try in the app.

Start with these once it's on your phone. Everything here works on the web version too — the app and the website show the same thing.

What's on

The home feed: everything happening in the next days. Filter it down to your sports and see who's already going.

Join, or post your own

Join something with one tap. Then post an activity yourself — sport, place, time, how many people you need.

Groups and channels

Every sport has its group, with channels inside for announcements and chat. Join the ones you play.

Chats

Message anyone who's going, or the whole activity at once. Try it from a profile and from an activity.

Challenges, projects, play

The corners people miss. Have a look at what's running and join one.

Your profile and signing in

Add a photo, your sports and your level. Sign in with Apple, Google or e-mail, close the app, open it again — you should still be signed in.

Something slow, odd or unclear? That's exactly what we want to hear.

Found something? Tell us.

One message per thing is easiest for us, and a sentence or two is plenty.

What happened, what you expected

Where you were in the app, what you did, and what you thought would happen instead. That's almost always enough for us to find it.

A screenshot helps

iPhone: side button and volume up together. Android: power and volume down. Attach it and we can usually skip the back-and-forth.

Your phone and version

Which phone, and the version shown at the bottom of Me → Help & guide. Only matters if something looks broken.

Write to us or say it in the WhatsApp group you're already in — both reach us.

Thanks for testing. The community is built by the people in it, and this is the part where that actually shows.
