- SCHEDULING: Access schedules anytime on mobile devices. Stay informed of game times, opponents, and locations.
- COMMUNICATION: Send in-app messages to the team or individual teammates and receive personal notifications.

David Oestreicher, President of REC*IT explains, "Traditionally, college rec participants receive their most important program information – including schedules, results, news and announcements – by depending on inefficient channels like a bulletin board in the rec center or emails that are never opened. Today's college audience needs their info and content on the go and, of course, prefers to interact through mobile devices. REC*IT offers new-age connectivity and galvanizes a very passionate community by optimizing the dissemination of these communications within one app."
Ian Rodwell, CEO of MOKO Social Media, states, "MOKO blends content aggregation and social engagement to create true mobile communities in tailored categories of similar interests, a concept far different from the traditional online social media destinations currently available. Finding commonalities amongst an endless flow of irrelevant content is difficult, so we aim to provide our users with a digital solution that does just that."
REC*IT plans to offer unique opportunities for brands and advertisers, both national and local, to engage with the coveted college consumer. This will include highly targeted promotions and content tied to each participant's respective profile including interests, demographics and location – all designed to enhance the user experience.
