    New this season

    Built from how real clubs run today: WhatsApp groups, a season spreadsheet and a lot of chasing. New features arrive on Android first, with iPhone soon after.

    • "5 mins away bro."
      Sure.

      On my way + Buzz. Players who choose to share show up on a live map on game day, with how far away they are. The captain can buzz anyone who isn't here yet.

      Sharing only when you tap "I'm on my way", and only with players in that game
      On my way: who's here, who's on the way and how far, with a Buzz button for each late player
    • Who's available: players and weekends, with a cross for each day someone is away

      ✈️ Away dates

      Mark the weekends you can't play, once. The captain sees who's away while planning, and you won't get nudged for those days.

    • Match fees: the captain ticks who has paid

      💵 Who's paid

      Tick off match fees game by game. Play Onside never handles money: post how to pay in the chat.
