Hi guys, any and all feedback is hugely appreciated.

+ Currently works for tennis and squash

+ App is centred around 'networks' which are created by users. This might be your workplace, or perhaps an extended group of friends

+ The app automatically manages a leaderboard for every network

Our big question: would you ever use something like this? If so, what changes/improvements does it need?

My office would use it right now. Can you add table tennis?

Yeh likewise - would love this for table tennis

I've just realised you can probably use the tennis leagues for table tennis if it's just an in-office thing? The scoring would work well for both

You could definitely just set up, say, a squash network and call it "Office Ping Pong". But note that recording scores only allows inputs between 0 and 6. Might be nice to enable up to 21.

Also, can you support other login methods besides Facebook?

Out of interest - is that a request for people who don't have fb accounts, or simply don't want to use fb (perhaps for privacy reasons)?

Privacy concerns.

I'll look into implementing a email + password. But this might take a little longer, as you need to have features for people who forget their password, so forth. I agree it ultimately needs to be there if this is going to be a versatile tool

Hey, great to hear!

No problem - I'll put table tennis into the next version, so look out for an update on your iPhone in a couple of weeks.
