Android Pin Tracking App

crowtalescrowtales Registered User regular
in Pinny Arcade
Hello all!

I got tired of not having an app for use on Android to track all my pins, so I conned a developer friend of mine into helping write one. It's now up on the Play Store for your use if you'd like.

The app can be a little fragile in some spots. When you first open it up, go to the settings and click "Sync Config". That'll grab all the pin data. Don't interrupt it, or it'll stop in the middle and you'll end up with like 20 pins. If that happens, close the app and restart the Sync. Whenever new pins are ready, you'll be able to pull them in by simply doing another "Sync Config".

Hopefully you'll find it useful. -

    Awesome thank you for releasing the app for android. I can't wait for people to start using it.

    Absolutely, darkinfero. You're one of the folks that helped make this whole thing a real community, so I'm just trying to give back a little.

    This is awesome, thank you! I've been very jealous of all the iOS people and their app so I'm glad we have our own. Now to begin the arduous task of filling it out.

    Enjoy @misskass - let me know if any pins are missing!

  • misskassmisskass Melbourne, AustraliaRegistered User regular
    Hahah I was just about to. I can't currently find the Aus version of Sarkhan (i.e. not Sarkhan Unbroken). Although I might just be blind.

    Also it would be great, if possible, to get a 'Trade' list as well as Want and Have. It's a bit difficult to find the few pins I have marked with 2+ in my Have list.

    Ah!!! I added Sarkhan. Thanks for the catch. Sadly, he'll be forever out of order (along with whoever else I add late to this thing), but he's there now. Just 'Sync Config' again.

    We are working on a button for "Trade" at the top, which would narrow it to all those pins you have 2 or more of. So, yeah - that's in the works.

  • misskassmisskass Melbourne, AustraliaRegistered User regular
    Cool cool, I added him. Now my Australia page is properly complete. :biggrin: It'd be cool if there was some kind of interaction with Pinny Pals so I didn't have to update two lists any time I did a trade, but this is a great way to keep track of everything on the go.

    @fishfishmonkeyhat no clue. We've been fiddling with this off and on for a few months. When we started, I knew of no one working on a similar android app.

    I guess we'll never know!

    Won't hurt to have more than one app :)

    I suspect they'll do things differently, people might find use in different styles.

    Aiyaah! Why didnt I see this before. Wouldve been great to have had this app for PAX East haha

  • crowtalescrowtales Registered User regular
    The Pin Tracker is updated with all the new pins for Pax West.

    I tagged all the new stuff as West instead of Prime, so you should have both a category for Prime and West despite them being the same convention. I'm debating leaving it as is to signify the change.

    I also tried to include some notes from the News Post about how to get each of these, even if it's only the Company Booth name listed in the description.

    To get the new data, go to the menu in the top right and select "Sync Config".

    Good Luck Pin Hunting at West!

    Good Hunting.
