    My wife and I recently started using this app and I love it. It's a great way to track our scores and what machines we have played in the wild. I would really like to see more features in the future.

    Achievements, for example, would be neat. Think like the "Untappd" app for craft beer. It awards little badges for things like drinking so many of a different style or going to different types of venues. Imagine a badge for playing so many Superpins, or JJP pins, or games designed by John Trudeau (well, maybe not John Trudeau, but you know what I mean). Badges for playing EMs, System 11s, and WPCs. Badges for playing in venues classified as barcades, laundromats, pizza parlors, etc. I think it would add a lot more incentive for people to get out to different venues and play new machines and would add to the overall enjoyment (and growth) of the app.

    Pindigo has the advantage still because it is usable on practically ANY machine (Not just new Sterns, SI), it doesn't require special technology or monthly fees (Scorbit), it has an easy to use interface (Scorbit again... yuck), and it has an existing user base to draw on. 9/10 I reach for this app over the others simply for versatility and ease of use.

    The problem for it is that it has not changed all that much with regards to features. I think Pindigo should have really leaned in to things like Badges/ Achievements for playing different types of games and in different venues, ala the Untappd beer app. This would not require any additional connection software, it would just be a matter of updating its game database with certain tags like "EM,""System 8," "Banana Flippers," "Pat Lawlor game," etc etc etc. Badges would be earned and upgraded by playing a certain # of a given tag. Same goes for types of venues (bar, music hall, arcade, game store, etc).

    If they could have gotten a head start on this, it would have been a giant leg up. I wish them well going forward because the hobby needs an app that is not tied down to a certain manufacturer.
