Online booking platform My Local Pitch has launched an iOS app.

The app is designed so that people can instantly book grassroots facilities while on the go.

Users are currently able to book facilities for over 17 sports - including football, netball, tennis, badminton and squash - in London, Manchester and Dublin.

The user-friendly app features an interactive map, which enables users to locate and view their nearest facilities before making a booking.

Jamie Foale, co-founder of My Local Pitch comments: “My Local Pitch’s mission is to make booking sports facilities easier and the iOS app launch was a major milestone in achieving this.”

Foale adds: “The app promises to significantly enhance people’s sporting experiences. It means sports players can hire a pitch or court as easily as reserving a table in a restaurant in London, Manchester or Dublin. This has enabled sports venues to better utilise their facilities, with an uplift of 26 percent more bookings being taken at MLP operated venues.”
