looks great, just need a new ipad, a shame it doesn't work on the first generation ipads.

Wonderful contribution to the hobby!

Thank you!

That's some pretty cool stuff there. Looks pretty easy, are ya gonna take requests for updates to add more machines?

This is cool, will be great when you have some older games on there.

I bought the app as soon as I saw the link. This is excellent for non tech guys like me. And I have allways had problems with understanding the matrix (not the movie, well maybe except the fact that they didn't stop with the excellent first one.)

To bad it's not working with iPad 1. Any chance that you could make that happen?
It would also be great to zoom in. It becomes very small on an iPhone.

agree, yes please adjust to suit ipad 1 5.1 software, I bought to support and see if it would work but no.

Nice! This is something like I envisioned after I started entering games for the switch database at http://www.pinitech.com/switch_database.php -- seemed like it would be great to have info on the connectors, wire colors, ICs and possibly mark issues and have it make suggestions where the problem might be. With today's technology it just seemed like the next logical step to put switch and lamp charts into a database that was more user-friendly to make it easier when diagnosing issues while working on a game. Great to see someone with iOS/Android experience that could make it happen!

I'm not sure if it'd help but if you want a dump of the database I've created, let me know. It'd just be switch numbers and names, but I have a majority of the older games in there. Your app would actually be an awesome companion to the switch matrix tester I sell.. especially if you could toggle on/off the cross-hair and the small numbers that identify the switch number on the tester (for games that don't fit the silkscreen numbering) like on my switch database

Great job! It looks like it'll be an awesome troubleshooting aid!

when I first saw this, I thought it somehow interfaced with the machine. Now I realize it's basically an info screen (and a way to mark switches as you go through the machine) which is still very handy (especially which chip is related to driving lamps/switches). Are you planning on eventually doing other manufacturers? (SEGA, gottlieb, data east, Stern)

I bought it yesterday as well. Very nice, hoping it soon includes amh, mettle, and and... well... all the machines I own with matricies.

Interesting app. Nice promo video.

Any chance of community contributions to expand the database of available games?

Nicely done! Should be handy.

Awesome contribution, deff going to be handy. Now i just have to buy an ipad! There goes some of the savings for a new pin!

It works fine on my android phone.

Bought this myself to support the effort If the older games can be added with similar features (wire colors, connection identification, etc) this is going to be super useful combined with some other tools/testers. It gets annoying printing pages out of the manual or even finding the switch/lamp charts in the manuals. This would make it much easier.

I think it'd be good to add switch numbering though, on WPC you don't really have to worry about that since the chart matches the chart shown on the DMD.. but once you add older games, the switch numbers will be a necessity. Plus it's nice to have the switch number when referring to the switch location diagram in the manuals -- or if you're using a switch matrix tester.

Just bought this to support the cause. Currently I don't own any of these games but love the idea and can't wait for more games to be added. Keep adding games and features and this will become the premier pinball app for repairs.

Great work.

This is marvellous. Bravo!

+1, this takes troubleshooting to a new level.

Looks like a fantastic idea.

I've printed the matrix and used markers in the past. This is WAY better. Curious if it saves the results in some way so you can later refer back to it? If so will it somehow support multiple games of the same title meaning I can bring up the matrix results of two of the same game (not necessarily at the same time...)

Would it be possible to input certain data (eg, a combo of switches which cause a ghost switch) to identify a bad diode??

That's something I thought that a switch database could eventually provide -- if you start marking bad switches and enough are identified in a certain pattern.. then suggestions could be made on which circuitry or switches may be at fault. Maybe not something to get involved in right off the bat, but definitely something to think about once the database has most of the machines in it and everything else has been tweaked and you're looking for that next logical step..

Bought! Looks great! Zoom feature, good enhancement for IPhone, eventually plans for coils/flashers? My TZ has an ongoing board burnout 12v issue I can't solve, and this would simplify that.

This is a great idea and I immediately bought the Android version. I'm having some trouble getting it to work, though. It works fine on my Nexus 9, but on the Nexus 10, it doesn't seem to handle tapping on game names properly to select them. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it does nothing.

And on the Nexus 6, it doesn't display correctly. Here's how it looks in landscape: http://imgur.com/4bhTXRI
And here's how it looks in portrait: http://imgur.com/CR29Kfk

Very cool. I have no idea what this app is doing, but it's cool to see so many community created apps lately. Pinside should create a page that highlights or reviews a few?!

Bought!

Not sure about apple but on Android you will make more money with a 1 time full screen advert than charging for the app. Look into the developers forums on this.

+1 for Stern. If you're ready for Stern but just need game info, share how to help.

AdMob Interstitial documentation ==> https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/android/interstitial

I see your Android downloads are 10-50. Think about if 10% of pinside downloaded your FREE app.

I bought the ap. I have used it several times and it works well. I can't wait for a larger data base. Keep up the good work.

Any chance for whirlwind?
Great app!
