“I was able to make a poll to see what the girls’ goals were for the season, and from that see how I can plan and optimize the season schedule so that we can continue to grow as a team!”

  • Is my data secure using Spond?

    Yes, it is. Spond is completely GDPR-compliant, and as stated in our privacy policy, we only share your personal information with others if it is necessary to perform the service or if we should be bound to such sharing by law, regulation, or legal process.

  • What is the difference between the Spond app and Spond Club?

    Spond offers two integrated platforms: The Spond app (for groups and teams) & Spond Club: A complete & free membership management system, including communication & payment.

    The Spond app would be used by group admin (coaches, team managers, etc.), guardians, and members, while the club admins only use Spond Club.

  • Do I need to use the app to use Spond?

    No, once the invitation is sent out, we encourage users to download the app, but you can also keep receiving notifications by email if you don’t download the app. The initial group invite can be sent via text message. However, there is only a limited number of texts per user, so we do recommend registering with an email to continue receiving notifications.

  • Does Spond cost money?

    Spond is free to download and use! The only cost is if you choose to collect money through Spond, then there will be a transaction fee. There are no hidden fees.

  • What are the main benefits of using Spond?

    The benefits of using Spond include being able to create custom events for practices, games, or other team activities and sharing information, files, photos, and polls with your team. Our group administrators report that Spond saves them, on average, 2.2 hours of administrative work each week.

  • Can I synchronize Spond with my calendar?

    Yes! You will be able to synchronize events with your calendar if you have the Spond app and you can change these settings within your profile.

  • Can I hide my contact information from other group members?

    Yes, to do this you can go into the group, then press ‘more’ > ‘contact information’ and select ‘only visible for administrators’. This is a per-group setting, so you can hide your contact information in some groups while still sharing it with members in other groups.

  • Who is Spond for?

    Spond is for anyone organizing activities for other people. It can be a soccer coach, choir conductor, scout or swim coach. Spond makes together better!
