Contribute and support the app

There are several ways to contribute to Insert Coin:

By adding and keeping updated the locations you know around you.
By contacting arcade venues and operators to inform them about the app, ensuring that the data remains current
By leaving a review on the App Store/Play Store and liking our Facebook page

If you’d like to get more involved with the app, we are looking for:

People to help complete the game database
People capable of translating the app into new languages

How to add an unlisted location

You can go to the “New” tab to add a location.

How to edit the games listed at a location

To add a game, click the “Edit” button at the bottom of the location screen, then select “Add a game.”

Add a missing game to the database

If a game is missing in our database, go to the Games tab and click on the + button.

Can I add my private collection to Insert Coin?

No. Insert Coin is intended to catalog publicly accessible locations, whether free or paid. To list your personal collection, you can use Pinside for pinball machines and Arcade Museum for arcade games.

Will Insert Coin ever become a paid app?

No. The goal of Insert Coin is to promote arcades and pinball venues, and we believe the best way to do this is to keep the app accessible to everyone.

A paid app or subscription model would drastically reduce the number of contributors, which would be counterproductive.

Why do I need to register to contribute to the app?

There are several reasons:

For contributions on locations, to track any malicious changes and be able to easily undo them if necessary.
For comments, regulations and the App Store/Play Store require us to track certain information.
To save your favorites and synchronize them across your devices.
For the push notifications feature.

All other features (list of places and games, comments posted by users, etc.) remain accessible without registration.
