Smartphones and high internet speed have penetrated our lives at a phenomenal level.

Today, businesses harness mobile app development services to engage their audiences with exclusive apps. Powered with the most advanced technologies and frameworks, Softqubes has built a revolutionary mobile app for a vibrant sports community in USA.

This blog explains the entire process and our key deliverables, which transformed the pickleball game experience into absolute fun and delight, all within a comprehensive app.

About The Project

Our client hired Softqube Technologies to create a versatile gaming app for a thriving sports community that loved playing pickleball. They wanted a centralized hub for players to access diverse features and customized services. The app should cater to various needs of players of different levels, such as casual players, competitive players, and coaches. Overall, the app should cover the needs of the entire pickleball sports community.

Casual players wanted to play friendly matches, while competitive players looked forward to tournaments, and coaches were enthusiastic about sharing their expertise. By hiring Softqube’s mobile app developers, our client got an innovative and comprehensive mobile app that improved the entire on-field gaming experience for all types of players.

Let us find out how did we do this.

Our Key Deliverables For the Project

Our team of talented and highly qualified mobile app developers has used the most advanced technologies and frameworks to develop a unique platform for Pickleball community players. With the best business acumen and proficiency, we have delivered world-class mobile applications to our clients with the following features:

Top Features For Community

Softqubes provided a unique and innovative set of features, such as scrollable feeds for community updates. Our UI/UX design elements are user-friendly, helping users seamlessly make court reservations and connect with coaches for personalized training sessions. We provided the top features below:

Booking Management

Users can manage bookings efficiently, share scorecards with friends, and view schedules.

Match Organization

Players can seamlessly organize Pickleball matches with friends and fellow players.

Coaching Services

Users can find the best and most skilled coaches for personalized training sessions.

Community Updates

Through scrollable feeds, members can actively stay updated about the latest news and events in the Pickleball community.

Court Booking

All the users can easily book courts at their preferred times and locations.

Skill Enhancement

Regular community players can upgrade their Pickleball skills and develop significant connections with the global community.

Upload Score & Social Media Sharing

With this unique feature, members can upload their scores to their accounts and share them on the Pickleball social media page. During the product development phase, our team found that every member deserves to celebrate their wins that can be shown to the world. We performed rigorous research to convert this idea into a reality. We provided a solid, actionable strategy for players with which they can easily publish their scores, boosting their morale and increasing the quest to perform better than before.

Membership Benefits

We provided two types of membership platforms to streamline the membership management chaos. The first type of membership was App membership—users can register their accounts into the app and get discounts on court bookings and joining a match. The second kind of membership was Club Membership—members can become lifetime club members and can avail themselves of all the benefits, such as discounts, special offers, free invitations to events, and much more.

Booking Options

Developing a dynamic community players app for the Pickleball game was a daunting project. Our client wanted to provide personalized benefits to various types of audiences who have an interest in playing the game. However, integrating those needs in one simple feature was challenging. Our team brainstormed the idea of providing multiple booking options with the same feature to different categories of players. We could provide the sub-features below that helped users manage and get bookings for playing the game joyfully.

Booking with reservation limits

The app provided booking reservations for members and outsiders. Members can invite outsiders and can reserve their bookings in limited capacities.

Court booking invitations

Members can book the entire court and can invite coaches, trainers, or other player members to join the court to play the match.

Sharing Court options

Members are given court-sharing options to invite other players and members to share the court booking to organize the match.

Open Play Option

We provided this unique open play court booking option, which was reserved especially for training purposes

Normal Slot booking

All the regular pickleball players, including players and outsiders, can book slots for the game.

Combined booking option

Club members and trainers can book the court together and practice the game.

Player Ratings

To increase the level of competition and improve gaming skills, we integrated this unique feature, wherein players can rate each other based on their past performances, scorecards, and gaming techniques.

Centralized Digital Platform

Another feature is that we provided a centralized digital platform to improve user efficiency, provide better accessibility, grow community strength, and promote higher engagement. With a team of top-notch mobile app developers and UI/UX designers, we created a robust platform for the greatest Pickleball community players in the country.

Intuitive Dashboard

After rigorous research and competitor analysis, we designed a dynamic and visually appealing dashboard with a compelling UI for the community. The players can access different features with a floating button that helps add scores, join social groups, and create posts. The bottom bar menus also included finding coaches, court bookings, and profile settings. We also provided an appealing view of some detailed listings on pricing and other members’ availability for the chosen slot, all in a user-friendly design.

Pickler was one of our successful endeavors in developing resilient and dynamic mobile applications. We provided an intuitive interface with unparalleled design elements and powerful navigation, making the entire booking experience seamless for users.

Uploads and Publish Scores

While creating Pickler, we needed to showcase the players’ efforts to the community and share them with social groups. We added this unique feature through which users can publish their scores and share their triumphs with the world. Other members can view the player’s profile and their history of matches with scores and court types.

Other Features

We also found the need to address the requirements of new players to acquire adequate training sessions. Eventually, we integrated a feature for top players who can become stellar trainers to improve the pickleball skills of the fresher community. Trainers can share their expertise with the players, become coaches, manage appointments, and other payment information. Likewise, users can find coach availability, use filters to find the appropriate trainer or coach, and book sessions effortlessly.
