Sometimes it is actually hard to find people who love to do the same sports activities as you (unless you actually met your current friends through sports). So if there are dating apps and matchmaking apps and friendship apps, shouldn’t there be a sports-matching-friendship (and okay, maybe even dating) app all rolled into one? That’s what a new app called Bvddy (yes, that’s not a typo) does as it will match you with other fellow players (not that kind of playa’) of a same sport that are near you and set up a game amongst all of you.
So yes, Bvddy is a matchmaking app, but only for sport matches. When you first log in, it will ask you what sports activities you’re interested in, whether it’s football, yoga, basketball, swimming, etc. It will match you with other people with similar interests and also the same skill level if you’re looking for a quick pick up game in your area. There are different fitness categories, like “The Great Outdoors” to “Weight Loss” to “Leagues”. Just like with some of the matching apps out there, you swipe right if you want to make a connection and then wait for them to accept.
It is helpful for athletes looking for a regular game or workout or would-be athletes in need of a little training or just casual fitness and sports buffs. You can also create your own sporting events and invite the people who are near you and who might be interested. You can also chat with your matches so you can set up your sports date. There is also a rating system which will supposedly encourage you to do better but might cause some friction with your new sports buddies.
You can download the Bvddy app through the Google Play Store for free. Have fun playing sports and making connections (wink, wink).
Maybe I can finally get into my hometown slowpitch softball league…
