Sport Predicting RPG!
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/betsfriends/id6761031275
Imagine a game like clash of clans but in order to level up, your xp and in game currency are earned by your ability to predict real life sporting events. That’s where we are heading with this. All the fun of gambling without any risk of financial ruin. Hope you can see the value in that!
Hey everyone, I'm the solo developer behind an app called BetsFriends, and I'm at the point where I really need real people to try it and tell me the truth about it.
Here is the simple version of what it is. On the surface it is a game. You make sports picks, and when you get them right you earn XP and units, you level up through tiers, and you build out a custom avatar with accessories that reflects how good you actually are. It is genuinely fun and a little addicting to climb. But underneath that game is something I built for people who actually follow sports closely: a real tool for tracking picks, comparing yourself to other people, and seeing who actually knows what they are talking about.
Here is what is in it right now:
Make your picks. Call games across multiple sports and markets, and your results follow you.
XP, units, and tiers. Correct picks earn XP and units. You level up through tiers, and your profile shows your standing. Units also let you unlock avatar accessories, so progression actually means something visually.
Custom avatar system. Build a character with layered accessories. It is tied to your record, so your avatar is basically your reputation that other people can see.
See everyone's picks. This is the real handicapping layer. You can see other people's picks, share your own, and follow sharp pickers instead of guessing in the dark.
Records and history. Look at anyone's full pick history and track record over time. No more people claiming they "had it" after the fact. The receipts are right there.
Best picker per team. See who is actually the sharpest on a specific team, not just overall. If someone is elite on one team's games, that is incredibly useful information, and the app surfaces it.
Live scoreboard with live chat. Follow games live and talk through them in real time with other people who have action on the same game. The games are more fun when you are watching them with people.
Leaderboards and competition. It is built around friendly competition. The whole point is proving you are the sharpest, with zero money involved. No deposits, no losses, no chasing anything. Just skill and bragging rights.
The reason I am posting is honest. It is still early and there are not a lot of users yet. An app like this only comes alive when real people are in it, picking against each other and sharing records. I would rather have a small group of people who actually use it and tell me what is broken than a big number that means nothing.
So here is my ask. If any of this sounds interesting, I would really appreciate it if you would download it, make picks for a few days, and then tell me what you actually think. What is confusing, what is missing, what made you want to come back or not. Brutal feedback helps me more than polite feedback. Being this early means the things you flag genuinely shape where this goes next.
I also want to be straight about why this matters. I am one person building this, and I have a lot more I want to add. Things like a battle pass, deeper progression, bigger competition, and more reasons to keep coming back. But I can only justify pushing that further if there are real people here using what already exists. Every person who tries it and gives me honest feedback is literally what lets me keep building.
It is just me. No big company behind this. I am building something I think should exist, and your support and your honesty are what move it forward.
If you have questions, or you just want to tell me what sucks and why, reply here or DM me. I read and answer everything.
