VERTLYThe Crew
Your friends.
Your game.
The way I came up: friends hyping each other up, calling dunks, running it back. Now it lives in the app.
Link up with up to 20 friends. See every card they bag, stamp their best dunks, and call a dunk on them in Game of D-U-N-K. Free for everyone.
The Crew rolls out with the next Vertly update.
Link up
Three ways in.
You decide who.
QR
Standing together
Show your QR and your friend scans it with their iPhone Camera. You're both in, right there. A QR only lasts 10 minutes, so it only works in person.
Link
Send your link
Text it, DM it. If they don't have Vertly yet, the invite waits for them for 7 days while they sign up. You let them in when they ask.
Code
Six letters
Read it out loud. They type it in, you tap to let them in. Crews max out at 20.
Game of D-U-N-K
Call it.
48 hours to land it.
Pick a dunk from the cards and call it on a friend. They get a heads up and 48 hours to land it. Miss and it's a letter. Spell D-U-N-K and you're out.
It's free for everyone and runs on the honor system, the same way it works on the court. Call your makes straight.
The feed
Every dunk they bag.
Every rim they raise.
When a friend bags a new card, moves a dunk up a rim or breaks into a new Air Level club, it lands in your feed.
- Clean
- Bounce
- Insane
- Run it back
Stamp it with one of four words and they see it in the morning. No comments, no DMs, nothing to argue about. Just love for a good dunk.
Free weeks
Bring a friend.
Earn a free week.
When a friend who's new to Vertly joins from your invite and logs a session, you earn a free week of Full Access. Up to four a year.
Free weeks are Apple offer codes and work like a free trial: the membership renews at the regular price when the week ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. One reward per new friend. Not shown if you already have Full Access. Reward terms
4
Free weeks a year
One for every new friend who joins and trains.
Built safe
Friends only.
Zero tolerance.
Before you're in, you see four rules and tap I'm in. Here's what they mean.
Nobody gets in unless you let them
A link or code only sends a request. QR codes only work in person and expire in 10 minutes.
Your crew sees your game, not your life
They see your Game Card, the cards you bag and your rim moves. Never your weight, age, school, location, clips or coach chat.
Nothing to type
No chat, no comments, no photo uploads. Feed posts are written by the app. Stamps are four fixed words.
Report or block in one tap
From anyone's Locker. A reported post disappears for you right away, and a real person looks at every report within 24 hours.
Mean or unsafe and you're out
Bullying, hate, threats or anything sexual gets you removed from the Crew. A ban hides everything that person posted.
13 and up
The Crew is closed to anyone under 13. Crew notifications hold between 9 pm and 7 am.
Crew questions
Good to know
Does the Crew cost anything?
No. The Crew, the feed, stamps and Game of D-U-N-K are free for everyone.
Where is the Crew in the app?
Me tab, then switch the Locker to Crew. Add a friend from there.
Can my crew see my clips?
No. Clips never leave your phone. Your crew sees the card, not the clip.
What if someone's being mean?
Open their Locker, tap the ••• button, and Report or Block. Blocking removes them right away. We look at every report within 24 hours and can ban people from the Crew. You can also email vertlyapp@gmail.com.
I lost a game I shouldn't have.
Game of D-U-N-K is honor system. If something's off, report it as "something else" and we'll take a look.
Can I control Crew notifications?
Yes. Crew settings let you choose what pings you. They never come between 9 pm and 7 am.
