In case all you InfiniteHoops fans want to know how I rolled my ankle last week... it was basically doing stuff like this.

Worth checking out.

Well, this is awesome.  Mashable included InfiniteHoops in its weekly "Apps You Don't Want to Miss" round-up piece.

"Looking for a pick-up basketball game? InfiniteHoops notifies you when a pickup game is nearby and then displays that game’s location on a map. Tapping on a particular game can allow you to mark yourself “in” or “out” for the game, or even trash talk with potential upcoming opponents."

GeekWire, a popular technology blog based in Seattle, covered the launch of our app - InfiniteHoops on iPhone.

"The app uses GPS to set up geo-fences around specific courts and notifies users when they cross the geofence. Players can link to game details — where it is, what time, how many people involved — and RSVP game status (In, Out, Undecided). Users can also search the database for games going on in other places and join groups that establish regular playing times."

Have a read.

UrbanDaddy, a stylish lifestyle website, picked up on our launch and wrote about InfiniteHoops on iPhone as well.  Very cool.

"Say hello to InfiniteHoops, a GPS-powered iPhone app that locates currently active basketball courts, available now."

Have a read.

The CosbySweaters.com, a sports news website, covered our app as well. Can't help but laugh whenever I think about their name. Check em out.

"With the improvements from its original launch, users can now set up “geo-fence” notifications that will notify the person when they have entered an area where a pickup game is happening. Users can also join pickup game groups to message other users and RSVP for future games."

InfiniteHoops on iPhone was covered by Sam Laird on the popular technology blog Mashable yesterday.  

"With the new-and-improved app, users can set up geo-fence notifications that let them know when they’ve entered the vicinity of a registered pickup game at a nearby park or gym. Users can also join pickup game groups to message other users and RSVP for games as well as view other group member’s RSVPs for a given game and time."

We're very excited to announce the immediate availability of a new version of our app, InfiniteHoops on iPhone.  Read below for our release notes or click through to download.  It's free!  


DISCOVER GAMES NEAR YOU
This is our first release focusing on bringing games to you as you move about in the world. InfiniteHoops on iPhone uses geofences to automatically notify you when you get near a spot where there is a regular pickup game. Maybe a game is on your way to work or school. Maybe it's right down the street. The app will pop a notification with a link to the group so you can check it out.

MORE NEWNESS
While the focus is on bringing games to you, we also made some other additions to the app. In the new slide menu, you can see your upcoming games just like on InfiniteHoops.com. Mark yourself In, Out or Undecided with the new quick roster buttons. Know a player who might be down for a game? Email them a link to your game or group with a click. Do basic stuff like register with Facebook or change your email or password.

Also in there, are player aliases so you can give yourself a dope nickname like "Tha Skillz that Killz". Ok, don't. You'll think of something.

REACH OUT
We'd love to hear what you think of the app or just to have you say hey. Partner inquiries are welcome too.
