Blacktop
Court facts, not ratings.
Blacktop Basketball is a published SwiftUI iOS app for finding basketball courts by practical playability facts. The public App Store build is 1.2.0, starting from Sheffield with a clean MapKit court map that helps players decide before they leave: indoor or outdoor, free or paid, lights, surface, rain impact, nets, rim height, facilities, access notes, and data confidence.
