Sports Court Booking App for iOS & Android - ActivePass
Discover, book, and get active. A two-sided marketplace where players find and book courts, classes and events near them in seconds, and clubs run their courts, schedules, events and payments from the same app.
01 / The Challenge
Booking a court still meant phone calls and guesswork
Players wanting a game had to call venues one by one, with no view of real availability and no way to pay up front. On the other side, clubs had no digital tools to publish their courts, business hours and events, or to manage the customers and payments behind them.
No single place to see which courts, classes or events near you actually have open slots
Bookings settled over phone calls and cash, with no confirmed payment or cancellation flow
Clubs juggling court schedules, business hours, events and customer lists manually
Players had no way to find others at their skill level or invite people to fill a game
02 / Here is What We Did
One codebase, two sides of the marketplace
We built a single Flutter app that switches experience by role. Players get location-aware discovery, quick booking and secure checkout; clubs get a management console for courts, sports, hours, events and customers. Everything runs on an AWS backend with Amazon Cognito authentication and a 43-endpoint REST API.
Designing both roles into one app kept players and clubs on the same data in real time, so an open slot on a club's court is instantly bookable on a player's home screen.
Flows & wireframes
Mapped the player journey (discover → book → pay) and the club console (courts, hours, events, customers) as two role-based flows in one app.
AWS backend integration
Amazon Cognito sign-in with OTP verification, S3 media uploads and a 43-endpoint REST API covering bookings, events, availability and payouts.
Flutter build
Cross-platform build with GetX state management, Stripe payment sheet, and Firebase Cloud Messaging for booking notifications.
