Viewing Preferences

The Viewing Preferences will change how the app displays venues and machines.
Open in Home Venue, when set to ON, will prompt you to select a default venue that that app will always assume you are inside when the app starts. For users who always use this app primarily in a specific venue, this saves the step of having to find the venue, select it, and then choose a machine. When set to OFF, the Play tab will initially view venues close to you sorted by Favorite selection and Distance.
Always Display Venues overrides the proximity feature. When set to OFF, the app will try to determine if you are inside a venue and open a list of machines instead of a list of venues. When set to ON, the app will always display the list of venues first, sorted by Favorite followed by Distance.
Viewing Distance Radius tells the app how wide of a range to consider when listing venues. You can always override distance radius by typing a zip code or city into the venue search field.
For users who primarily use Scorbit in their own game room, we strongly recommend setting a home venue, which overrides the venue search features when entering the Play tab. This will simplify your experience and reduce the number of "clicks" required to claim a player slot.
In contrast, for people who play pinball in many places, we recommend using the default mode where it will open a machine list automatically if it detects you are in a venue.
Because location awareness is not always perfect, some users prefer to force the app to always display venues on the Play tab first, so it stops accidentally entering a venue that is too nearby. [Note: We are adding a viewing preference radius in an update later this year to control this proximity feature.]
