If you’ re into pickleball, there’ s a good chance you’ ve already heard about the DiNKR app— and if you haven’ t, it’ s time to get on board. DiNKR is hands-down one of the most powerful and user-friendly apps out there, whether you’ re a casual player, an event coordinator, or running a full-time venue.
What sets it apart? It’ s not just a scheduling or scoring tool— it’ s a complete pickleball community in your pocket.
New & Noteworthy: Romantic Connections Feature
And here’ s a clever little twist … DiNKR also gives users the option to indicate whether they’ re open to a romantic connection.
Pickleball has always had a strong social side, and DiNKR leans into that with this optional feature that lets users subtly show they’ re open to meeting someone special— right on the court.
It’ s a lighthearted, respectful way to connect with other singles in the community who share your love for the game. After all, why not combine passion for pickleball with the possibility of a spark?
It’ s entirely optional, but it adds a fun layer of connection for those looking to mix a little more love into their dinks and drops.
