[App of the Month] Spordy
There are new apps being added to the app stores, every second as you are reading this. Most Social apps out there are good in creating online engagement portals. Spordy is an app that opens up the vista for offline engagement and to meet real people. With Spordy, you can find real people who share similar interests and meet up with them to play physical games. You can connect with people who share your sporting interests and get out of that couch to lead an active and fit lifestyle. The busy urban life and the dwindling space for physical sports impacts our lifestyle and fitness levels. It may be easy to find a dating partner, but trust me, it is really difficult to find a training partner or a buddy to play with. I love to play shuttle, but I don’t play regularly because I don’t have anyone to play with. So Spordy tries to get a solution for this problem.
You will have to signup with your FaceBook credentials and once you have your profile setup, you can start searching for Spordys (Spordy users). You can connect with a Spordy and meetup to play or train in any activity of your choice. You can also create an Event. Let’s say, you plan to have a FootBall match on a sunday morning in a ground you have access to. Then you create an event and invite spordies to it. As a Spordy, you can also join events of your interest. The app is pretty simple and straight-forward to use. Search and connecting are the two may interaction flows in the app and these flows are pretty simple to use and intuitive.
The Founder of Spordy, Sanjeev Bhuttan, is based out of Geneva. Right now you can connect to any Spordy user in the planet and meet up for a game or activity. Sanjeev plans to popularize it in Bangalore and get more Spordy users onboard, for a starter. He plans to roll out the app in phases across different cities in the world. A platform like this will gain community momentum as more users join it. It is a unique idea and as it gains momentum, it could become a large platform for people to stay physically fit.
The app is available to download from Apple Store and Google Play Store. Check it out and let us know your thoughts.
