1Finding matches
What’s on,
and where?
Every match on the map, from a Bundesliga night to Sunday league on the village pitch.
FFeatures
What’s inside.
From the next match round the corner to a weekend with three grounds. All of it as it is in the app today.
What’s on,
- OverviewThe next match near you, big, with more below. Plus your club, your next trip, your tally and anniversaries of your visits. You set the radius with a slider.
- MapPick a date range, filter, mark the grounds you want to visit with a heart. Club crests in the pins if you like. Where there are lots of matches, the map groups them.
- Leagues by typeInstead of ticking hundreds of leagues one by one: which level (pro down to the lowest tier), men or women, youth or not, league, cup or friendly.
- GroundCurrent name, traditional name, former names, the club, side pitches, prices and directions. Big sports parks list their individual pitches underneath.
- MatchdayTap a league and matchday to see every fixture. If a match is moved or called off, Hoppster lets you know.
- Report a mistakeA ground is missing, a name is wrong? Report it right there on the ground page. With an account you can follow what happened to it in the app.
2Trips
Two matches,
one day.
We haven’t found another groundhopping app with a trip planner that builds a timetable for car and train.
- Car or trainA day plan with “leave at … / back at …” and the distance. By train it follows the timetable, with a link to bahn.de. “Also fits in” finds more matches along the way.
- Trip plannerEnter dates and how long you want to be away; Hoppster looks for matches that fit together. As a timeline, sortable, with a preview. When it gets tight, you see the route and the buffer.
- What it costsFuel or train, tickets, a place to stay – a rough estimate, and whether you’ll need a night away. You set the assumptions yourself.
- On the roadRoute in Apple Maps or Google Maps, a reminder before you leave, an entry in your calendar.
- Wishlist tourYour wishlist of grounds and clubs – and when the grounds on it fit into a trip.
- Share tripsSend a link, invite friends. Anyone without the app sees the matches in their browser.
3Logbook
Match by
match.
Your collection, with everything that goes with it.
- VisitsPick the match, add stars and a report. Plus photos, who you went with, “Touched the ball” and “Confirmed on site”.
- TicketsA ticket collection in your logbook. Take a photo and the app reads price, block, row, seat, date and teams – on the iPhone, nothing goes online for it.
- StatsTap any number to dig in. Progress per league, a map of your countries, every entry with filters.
- PatchesPatches for milestones, countries, leagues and moments like floodlights, a derby or New Year. Plus your own patches built from your grounds. All patches
- Your hopper yearYour year in review to swipe through: matches, new grounds and countries, goals, your league and ground of the year, the longest trip. Every card can be shared as an image.
- ClubsA club is one club: Werder Bremen appears once, with all seven of its teams underneath. You can have more than one favourite club.
- BackupSave your whole logbook with photos and tickets as one file and read it back in. With an account it’s also stored on our server in Frankfurt.
4Hopper
With your
crew.
Everything here needs a Hoppster account. It’s optional – without one, everything you log stays on your iPhone.
- FeedThe matches and reports of the people you follow. With hearts, comments and a bell for notifications.
- RankingAmong friends, all-time and per season. On a ground page you see who’s already been – if they allow it.
- Who sees whatEach report on its own: public, followers, friends or private. Block and report on every post; “Hide me” makes you invisible.
5Moving over
Your logbook
comes along.
Been collecting in another app for years? Export your visits once as a file and read it into Hoppster. Date, ground, clubs, score and league come with it.
- FutbologyProfile, gear icon, export as CSV. Hoppster recognises the format, even when ground and club are stuck together in one line.
- Footbeen, myGrounds, Groundhopper AppExport in that app and choose the file in Hoppster. The help in the app tells you where to find the export.
- Excel or NumbersYour own list as a CSV with a header row. Hoppster recognises the columns by name – date, ground, home, away, score, note.
- While importingKnown grounds go straight onto the map; unknown ones you match up in one step. Duplicates are skipped. Nothing is uploaded.
