Don't take our word for it

Groups across the UK use BotFather every week.

“Saves me about 20 messages every week chasing people for in or out. I just add someone to the group and BotFather does the rest.”

Jake

5-a-side organiser, Edinburgh

“The reserve system is brilliant. I used to miss out because I was too slow to reply. Now I just mark myself as in and BotFather sorts it.”

Sam

Regular player, Leeds

“We were using a shared notes app before. Never again. BotFather knows who owes money, who's been invited, who needs chasing. It's all there.”
