Since 1990, the Dutch Association for Sport Psychology (VSPN) has been the professional body for sport and performance psychology. The association brings together sport psychologists, researchers, lecturers and students, and safeguards the quality of the profession through accreditation and registers such as SPORTPSYCHOLOOG VSPN®. The latest addition to this is a dedicated app for its members.
Three features of the app stand out:
- Dynamic home screen: the board decides what members see first when they open the app. An important news item or an upcoming event appears at the top at the touch of a button.
- Custom branding: the app is designed entirely in the VSPN’s orange colour scheme, featuring the association’s own logo and a bespoke menu layout. This ensures the app feels like a familiar, professional environment for members.
- Search function: members can quickly find colleagues by name, area of expertise or group within the association. Contact details are visible if a member has enabled this in their privacy settings. Handy for a quick chat!
For an association that wants to strengthen the profession by sharing knowledge, an app where members can easily find one another is ideal. Read more about the app in our case study! Youmie builds member apps for professional associations that currently distribute news, events and member contacts via email, websites and separate lists, bringing news, the calendar and the member directory together in a single app.
