Who's free when you want to play.
RaketRadar matches your free time, how far you'll travel and your level with players near you, and only suggests games that can actually happen.
Players
Slots
Near you
Android from Google Play, iPhone and computer in the browser.
The problem
Courts are easy. People are not.
Setting up a match takes dozens of messages, and often goes nowhere.
Endless group chats
Twenty people in the chat, three reply, nobody decides. Meanwhile the court fills up.
Mismatched levels
You find someone free, it ends 6-0, and you never play again.
Slots that never align
You can do Tuesday evening, they can do Thursday. Nobody knows who is free when.
The method
How it works
You do two things, the radar does two.
Tell it when you are free
Set your usual week once, and add exceptions when you need to. Two taps.
The radar proposes
It cross-checks everyone's times, distances, levels and preferences and finds the matches possible in the next 7 days. Today too, with at least an hour's notice.
Choose with a swipe
Proposals come one at a time, best first. Right for “I'm in”, left for “No” (and why, if you like). “Later” sends it to the back.
Everyone's in: game on
When the others say “I'm in” too, the match is confirmed and shows up in your schedule. If they don't answer, the proposal expires by itself.
The engine
What the radar checks
A proposal only arrives when everything fits, for everyone. No random invites.
Everyone's slots
Not just yours: the time has to work for every player.
Real distance
Everyone has a starting point and a limit on how far they'll go. The court has to suit them all.
Level
NTRP for tennis, 0 to 7 for padel, with Italian FITP equivalents. You choose how wide a gap to accept: close matches, not one-sided ones.
Gender and age
Your preferences always count, even when they cost you a proposal.
Singles or doubles
Your choice. In doubles the radar also balances the pairs.
Reliability
Confirm and show up, and you rise. Vanish at the last minute, and you count less in other people's proposals.
The logistics
After the yes, the match organises itself
Booking, telling everyone, remembering: the app takes care of it.
Who books the court
Someone taps “I'll handle it”, then “Booked”. The app shows how that club takes bookings, online or by phone, and keeps reminding until someone does.
Match chat
It opens once the match is confirmed, just with the players: messages, photos and GIFs. No group to mute forever.
If someone drops out
They leave the match in the app, the others are told, and the spot goes to a substitute at a similar level, who has a while to say “I confirm” or “I can't”.
Calendar and reminders
On your phone the match goes into your calendar by itself, and disappears if it falls through. Before you play, a reminder brings court and players, never during your quiet hours.
On Telegram too
If you prefer, connect Telegram: proposals and matches arrive there, and you answer with one tap.
Self-correcting levels
After the match you say how it ended and how close it was: levels adjust by themselves.
The limits
What the radar does not do
An app that brings strangers together should be clear about what it collects.
No face recognition
An automatic check only looks for a well-framed face in your profile photo. It recognises no one and uses no biometric data, by design.
No continuous tracking
We don't follow your movements: for distances we use the starting point you choose and your town.
No contact details on display
Your public profile never shows your surname, email, phone number or address.
Adults only
You must be 18 or over.
Questions
FAQ
01 What does it cost?
It's free. You book and pay for the court at the club, as usual.
02 Do I need to play at a certain level?
No. It starts from complete beginner: the radar looks for close matches, not strong players.
03 Where does it work?
Anywhere: you can sign up from any town, and the club directory grows with the players. Where we are still few the app tells you, and every friend you bring grows your area.
04 What if I can no longer make it?
Cancel in the app: the others are told, the match leaves your calendar and the radar looks for a substitute at a similar level.
05 Can I play only with my friends?
Yes. Add friends with a link or a QR code: friends, groups and favourite players feed into your proposals. And anyone you'd rather not meet, you block.
06 Do I need to keep the app open?
No. Proposals and matches arrive as notifications, or on Telegram if you prefer, and you answer from there.
07 Is there an iPhone version?
For now in the browser, at raketradar.app: in Safari tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen”, and it opens like an app, notifications included. The App Store comes later.
08 How do I delete my account?
From the account deletion page, even if you have already removed the app. No need to write to anyone or explain why.
Find someone to play with
Signing up is free and takes a minute, from anywhere. Where we are still few the app tells you, and every friend you bring makes matches happen, for you and for everyone nearby.
