Great app! Has made my life easy to schedule games! Thank you so much! Any chance of getting the feature to “Add to calendar@ available? Since we are not so young anymore, we tend to forget when we have the games 😊Will help if we can add the events/quickplays to our google, Apple calendar etc.
Love it so far, but . . .

The app is great and meets all of our needs, easy sign up, easy notifications. One issue we have and it may be a difficult thing to program, but it would make the app perfect. We had a group of 8 playing a doubles round robin. We had a player get injured after starting the session. It would be great if it were possible to remove that person and have the app recalculate the matchups for the remaining players.
Very well done

Have used it for managing round robins for the past couple of months and it works great. Highly recommend! Makes the process easy and goodbye paper scorekeeping!
Recurring Events
Set an event to repeat and Dink creates the whole series for you. Open any occurrence to step through the series and see which dates you're playing.
Edit just that event or every one that follows, or delete a single date or the rest of the series. Change the schedule and Dink moves the affected events and tells the players.
Also in this release:
• Long notifications show their full text in the inbox
• Fixed backing out of a group going to the wrong screen
