Creating Your Account
Get set up in minutes. You'll create a unique identity that other users can search and find you by.
Download & open the app
Search for InSport on the App Store or Google Play and install it. Open the app and tap Create Account.
Enter your details
Fill in your full name, email address, and a password. You'll also choose a nickname — this is how others will search for and mention you in the app.
Your unique tag: Nickname#1234
After signing up, you'll be assigned a unique 4-digit discriminator — similar to Discord. Your full tag (e.g. Alex#4821) is how friends can find you precisely, even if others share your nickname.
Log in
Use your email and password to log in at any time. Tap Forgot Password on the login screen if you need to reset your credentials.
Tip: Nicknames don't need to be unique — the #XXXX tag is what makes your profile distinct. Pick something your friends will recognise.
Your Profile
Personalise how you appear to others and configure your timezone so event times always display correctly.
Profile Photo
Tap Change Photo on your profile to upload an image from your camera roll. Maximum size is 2MB. Tap Remove Photo to go back to your initials avatar.
Name & Bio
Update your display name and add a short bio so group members know who you are. Tap the Edit Profile button from your profile screen.
Timezone
Set a preferred timezone so event times are always shown in your local time. Choose from 13 presets or search the full IANA timezone list. Tap Use Device Default to clear.
Your Tag
Your full tag (e.g. Sam#2049) is shown on your profile. Share it with friends so they can find you via the search bar.
Groups
Groups are the heart of InSport. Join a group to access its events, group chat, and shared polls.
Receiving an invite
A group admin can invite you to join. You'll receive a push notification, and your pending invites are listed in the Menu tab under Group Invites. Tap Join to accept or Decline to refuse.
Browsing your groups
All groups you belong to appear on your home screen. Tap any group to see its upcoming events, members list, group chat, and polls.
Group chat
Every group has a dedicated chat room. Any member can send messages. Chat history is visible to all current members.
Leaving a group
Open the group, go to Settings, and tap Leave Group. You'll no longer see its events or chat. If you're the only admin, you'll need to promote another member first.

Finding someone
Go to the Friends tab and tap Find Friends. Search by name, nickname, email, or full tag (e.g. Sam#2049). Results update as you type.
Sending a request
Tap Add Friend on a user's profile. They'll receive a notification. The button changes to Request Sent while you wait.
Accepting a request
Pending requests appear at the top of your Friends screen. Tap Accept to confirm or Decline to dismiss. You can also accept from the sender's profile page.
Removing a friend
Visit the friend's profile and tap Remove Friend. This removes the connection on both sides; neither party is notified.
Messaging
Chat privately with friends or join group and event conversations.
Direct Messages (DMs)
Message any friend one-on-one. Open their profile and tap Message, or start a conversation from your Friends screen.
Group Chat
Each group has a shared chat accessible to all members. Open a group and tap the Chat tab to view and send messages.
Event Chat
Events have their own chat thread, visible to all group members. Coordinate details, share updates, and discuss the plan before and after an event.
Message Notifications
You'll receive push notifications for new DMs, group messages, and event messages. Tap the notification to jump straight into the conversation.
Events & RSVPs
Browse, RSVP, and manage all your upcoming activities — with support for capacity limits, waitlists, guests, and recurring schedules.
RSVP to an event
Open an event and choose your response: ● Going ● Maybe ● Can't Go. You can change your RSVP any time before the event.
Capacity limits & waitlists
Some events have a maximum attendee count. If spots are full, your RSVP will be set to ⏳ Waitlisted instead of Going. Your position in the queue is shown with an orange banner.
If someone cancels, you'll be automatically promoted and notified immediately.
Bringing guests (+1s)
If an event allows guests, you'll see an Add Guest button on the attendee list. Enter the guest's name and tap confirm. Guests count toward the event's total capacity. You can remove a guest at any time — this may promote someone from the waitlist.
Inviting friends
Group members can invite their friends to an event directly. Open the event, tap Invite Friends, and select from your friends list. If the event is near capacity, invited friends may be waitlisted automatically.
Recurring events
Some events repeat on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. Each occurrence appears individually on the calendar. When editing or cancelling a recurring event, you can choose to affect only this occurrence or this and all future occurrences.
Free plan limits: The free tier supports up to 5 recurring event series, 5 occurrences each, across a 6-month window. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited recurring events.
Calendar Views
Three ways to visualise your schedule — switch between them any time from the Calendar tab.
Agenda
Scrolling date-grouped list of all upcoming events. The default view — great for a quick overview.
Week
7-day strip with event dot indicators. Tap a day to see its events as cards below the strip.
Day
Hourly timeline from 6AM–9PM. Events appear as coloured blocks. Auto-scrolls to the current hour when viewing today.
Filters: Use the Group and RSVP filter pills at the top of the Calendar screen to narrow events by group or by your RSVP status (Going / Not RSVP'd).
Polls
Quickly gather opinions from group or event members. Polls live inside the relevant chat thread.
Creating a poll
In any group chat or event chat, tap the poll icon. Enter your question, add at least two options, and choose whether it's single-choice or multi-choice. Any member can create a poll.
Voting
Tap your preferred option(s) and submit. Votes are final — you can't change your answer after submitting. Results update in real time as others vote.
Viewing results
All members can see vote percentages per option. Group admins and the poll creator can also see exactly who voted for each option.
Notifications
Stay informed with push notifications and an in-app notification centre that keeps a full history of your activity.
Unread Indicator
Unread notifications are highlighted with a purple tint and dot. A badge on the Notifications tab shows your unread count, updated every 30 seconds.
Tap to Navigate
Tapping a notification takes you directly to the relevant screen — a group, event, chat, or friend request.
Mark as Read
Tap any notification to mark it read. Use Mark All Read at the top to clear the entire unread count in one tap.
Clear All
Tap Clear All to remove all notifications from your history. Pull down to refresh the list at any time.
