Get the Android app
The same Padel Match you are using now, as an app on your phone. Installing it takes about a minute, and this page walks through the warning Android will show you along the way.
Why bother
Invitations reach a phone in seconds instead of waiting for an email. Courts fill fast here, so players with the app tend to get the spot.
Why it is not in the Play Store
Google Play does not let us register as a developer from Curaçao, so we have no way to list the app there. Downloading it directly is the alternative. It is the same app either way, and it still updates itself.
Android will try to stop you — this is expected
Because the file does not come from the Play Store, Android shows a warning and Play Protect may say the app was not scanned or was blocked. That warning is about where the file came from, not about what is inside it. You will need to choose "Install anyway" to continue.
What happens, in order
1
Tap Download. Your browser may ask whether to keep the file — choose Download or Keep.
2
Open the downloaded file. Android may say this browser is not allowed to install unknown apps. Tap Settings and allow it. You only do this once.
3
Play Protect then warns you: "Unsafe app blocked" or "App scan recommended". Tap More details, then Install anyway.
4
The app installs. Open it, sign in with the same email, and allow notifications.
Why this is safe to install
It is built from the same code as this website, by the same automated process — nobody hand-assembles the file.
Every version is signed with the same key, held by the build service. Your phone will refuse any future update that is not signed with it, so nobody else can push an app onto your device this way.
Updates arrive on their own the next time you open the app. You go through this once, not every release.
It asks for notifications and, only if you add a photo, your camera roll. Nothing else.

On an iPhone, keep using the website — add it to your Home Screen from the share menu. An iPhone version needs an Apple developer account and is not available yet.
