## What is VINWatch?

Waiting on a new car? You're checking the app again, aren't you?

VIN Watch counts every time you check on your car order, then ranks you against everyone else doing the exact same thing. It's a joke, it's a support group, and it's a leaderboard.

COUNTS ITSELF
Set up one Shortcuts automation and VIN Watch logs a check every time you open your car's app. Or be honest and tap "I checked again."

RANKS YOU
Daily and all-time leaderboards on Game Center. See how you stack up against everyone, or just against the friends who are somehow worse than you.

REWARDS THE OBSESSION
19 medals, from bronze to platinum, for streaks, binges, and suspicious restraint. The two platinum medals are for not checking. Good luck with those.

ALSO INCLUDED
• Home Screen widget with a tap-to-log button
• Live Activity on your Lock Screen
• Days-waiting counter from your order date
• A proper celebration when you mark it delivered

YOUR CHECKS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE
No account, no ads, no tracking. VIN Watch never connects to your car maker and never sees your order. Only your daily and all-time totals go to Game Center for the leaderboards.

VIN Watch is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Tesla, Inc.

A great app that takes the anxiety and impatience out of waiting. I can track the amount of times I open the app and I’m able to compete with friends at the same time! 100% would recommend
