PWHL
App.

A mobile companion for fans of professional women's hockey. I turned a fan's frustration with fragmented game information into an independently built product for following scores, schedules, teams, players, and the stories around the league.

Following a league means keeping up with more than the final score. Fans want to know when games start, what is happening live, where their team sits in the standings, how players are performing, and where to find the latest news.

I created PWHL App to bring those pieces together in one focused mobile experience. The goal was straightforward: make it easy for fans to stay connected to professional women's hockey without needing to jump between multiple sources.

I owned the product end to end as an independent developer: identifying the opportunity, shaping the experience, building the mobile application, integrating league data, shipping to iOS and Android, and continuing to improve the product based on how fans use it.

The app remains free, ad-free, and usable without creating an account. It is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Professional Women's Hockey League.

The engineering

One product across two platforms.

I built the app with a shared Flutter codebase and a typed, maintainable architecture designed to support an actively evolving product.

Cross-platform application

Flutter provides the shared application experience across iOS and Android, allowing product features and refinements to ship to both platforms.

The outcome

A real product, used by real fans.

PWHL App is live on iOS and Android, with thousands of fans tracking games. The public product site highlights a 4.8 out of 5 Google Play rating, and the app remains free, ad-free, and available without an account.

For me, the project demonstrates end-to-end product ownership: turning an idea into a cross-platform application, making technical decisions, integrating live data, shipping to app stores, and maintaining a product beyond its initial release.

Rating and audience language reflect the figures currently published on the app website; store ratings and audience size can change over time.
