Every ground you have stood in, with a pin on the map
Groundhopping is a collection, and a collection that lives in your head is not a collection. Log the match as the whistle goes: which ground, what it was, how many goals, roughly how many people and what you paid. The ground pins itself on the map, the grounds you have been to keep their own counts, and the standing joke — cost per goal — turns out to be the fairest verdict on an away day there is.

How it works
From install to first entry in a minute
1
Pick “Groundhopping” during setup
The log is created with the variables above and a few example entries so you can see how it works. Clear them with one tap.
2
Log as you go
Tap plus, fill in what you have, save. Timer, location, notes and photos are there when you want them, hidden when you don’t.
3
Let the stats accumulate
Sum goals sits on the log card, with the rest one tap away. Set a goal if you want a nudge.
Why this log
Built for the way you actually do it
A map of every ground you have been to
Each entry carries a pin, and the log has a map of its own. The season stops being a list of Saturdays and becomes a shape — the cluster around home, the three long lines out to the away ends.
Each ground with its own record
Mark "Ground" as tracked individually and every stadium keeps its count, its average goals and its biggest crowd. It is the collection, counted: how many times you have been, and which grounds are still a single visit.
Cost per goal, for the group chat
Every euro of tickets divided by every goal seen. The goalless away day in the rain costs you nothing extra in reality and everything in the ratio, which is exactly the right result.
Everything else in the app
Not just a form. A logbook that thinks with you.
The Groundhopping log is one log among many you can keep. Every one of them gets the same tools.
💡AI analysis
AI reads the pattern for you
Tap the bulb on Groundhopping and get a plain-language read of your trends, what changed recently, and a suggested next goal, built only from your own entries.
🎯Goals
Goals, streaks and reminders
Set a target like three times a week, watch the rolling progress bar, keep a streak, and get a reminder at the time you actually log. The app learns that time from you.
📅Calendar
A calendar heatmap per log
Every log has its own month view showing which days you logged. Gaps are obvious, consistency is visible, and one tap opens that day's entries.
🔁Rounds
Several grounds in one entry
One entry can hold a round per ground, each with its own values, and the stats break them out separately.
📷Attachments
Photos, sketches, voice memos
Attach a photo, draw a quick sketch, or record a voice note on any entry. They stay with that entry and come back on every device you sign in on.
🗺️Map

Who keeps a groundhopping log
Hoppers proper, counting grounds the way birders count species, for whom the number is the hobby and the map is the trophy cabinet. Season ticket holders who also go to whatever is on when their own club is away, and who lose track by November. And people who travel for work and see a match wherever they land, which is the version of this that produces the best log after five years.
It also suits parents ferrying children to youth football, oddly enough. Fifty Sunday mornings at fourteen different grounds is a season worth having a record of, and it is the same log with different competitions in it.
What a season of matches shows
The ground count is what you came for, and the map is what makes it real — a cluster of local pitches, the away ends up and down the country, and the two you went out of your way for. The grouped stats tell you which grounds you actually go back to, which is usually a shorter list than anyone expects.
The rest is about what the season cost and what it gave you. Tickets summed over a year next to kilometres travelled is a number most fans have never seen, and it is usually the travel rather than the football that carries it. Cost per goal sorts the season into the right order all by itself: the twenty-four euro nil-nil at the big ground, and the two-euro four-goal Sunday at a pitch with a hedge behind one goal.
Questions
Frequently asked
What goes in Attendance if it was never announced?
Your own estimate, and be consistent about how you guess — a full terrace, a quarter-full stand. At the non-league grounds where it matters most nobody announces anything, and a rough number that is always rough the same way still ranks the season correctly.
How do I count a season ticket?
Divide it by the number of home games and enter that per match, or enter zero and keep the season ticket in a separate entry. The first keeps the cost per goal honest; the second keeps the home games looking free, which is how most people prefer to think about it.
Should I log the score as well?
Put the fixture and the score in the notes and the total goals in the Goals field. The totals are what the ratio and the averages need; the notes are what you will read back.
Can I keep a list of grounds I still want to do?
Not as a to-do list — the log records what happened. Most hoppers keep the wish list in a note and let the log be the record of the ones actually ticked off, which is the half worth having.
