We built Sportouch to solve a personal pain point: the hassle of finding local sports events or players to join for a quick game, like volleyball on weekends. The chaos of scattered Telegram chats, Instagram stories, and event posters made it hard to connect with others, so we wanted a simple, map-driven app to streamline this. What’s unique? Unlike fitness apps or social platforms like Meetup, Sportouch focuses purely on utility—finding or creating nearby sports events without social network bloat. It’s tailored for casual players, teamless amateurs, and organizers, with features like real-time event discovery, team formation, and personalized recommendations based on location, interests, and social connections. The client-side clustering with react-native-maps and PostGIS backend ensures smooth performance, even on low-end devices. We’re most proud of the stable, scalable core we launched in May 2025 after 8 months of work. Despite challenges like Android UI quirks and Apple’s bureaucracy, achieving 34% Day 1 retention and 23% conversion to event creation feels like a win. The push reminders and local feed resonate with users, and building this with a small, multi-role team taught us a ton about balancing tech and UX! I am open to any questions or recommendations!
