Fun way to play with others (Also has a phone APP)
Pindigo APP (Its a Social App for Pinball)
Download an Excel Spreadsheet that can accompany the Pindigo App. (This sheet designed by yours truly “Jason Hecht”) I enjoy using this for looking up my Pindigo scores a lot quicker. Printing them out will save phone battery etc.. especially if you are at a tradeshow or in the middle of a pinball tournament) Using the sheet allows the user to keep only their top scores accessible in your back pocket. This Excel Spreadsheet is “COMPLETELY FREE”, but if you wish to donate to it that would be much appreciated.
(If you have any questions about the spreadsheet or have suggestions, please let me know.)
If you decide to join in a tournament this website will help you out. Use this website on your phone to help know what machine and position you are playing in. Once after you play in your first tournament (in approximately a week later, or once results are posted), you will get an IFPA number that will need to be entered in your profile. A few of us use this app to make personal challenges when not playing in tournaments.
