MiniComp App Brings Leaderboards and Stats to Any Friendly Competition

June 27, 2012 in Lifestyle

[prMac.com] Sydney, Australia - Topten Software today launched its first iOS app called MiniComp. MiniComp lets anyone with an iOS device manage a competition between a group of friends. It works for most games and sports and could be used for example to track a work table tennis competition, a weekly snooker game or a family air-hockey championship.

"The idea came about when my teenage son was looking for a way to run a competition with his school mates for their weekly school sport" said MiniComp's developer Brad Robinson. "By using his iPod touch and entering the scores as each game is played, he can immediately see who's leading the competition and review the stats for each player".

MiniComp has a few different ways to rank players and can calculate player statistics such as averages, highest scores and longest winning and losing streaks. Competitions can be published to the MiniComp website so everyone in the group can see where they stand and because there's no account registration required, setting up a publicly viewable leaderboard is as simple as a tapping the Publish button. There's also built-in support for sharing published competitions on Twitter, Facebook or by Email.

"With MiniComp, anyone can setup a competition and publish the results within a few minutes. It adds a new layer of fun to the games and sports that many of us already play" added Brad Robinson.
