Arcade1Up is a companion app made by a company of the same name that builds 3/4 scale arcade cabinets for popular arcade games. The app allows users to access various stats and leaderboards related to their arcade cabinets. Players can also connect with friends and engage in online play.

The games available through Arcade1Up (the company, not the app) are classic arcade games, such as those found in various retro-inspired titles, including Arcade! Classic Arcade Pack or those that can be played using the Neo MAME32 emulator. This app adds additional functionality and social features.

Connect to wifi-enabled cabinets

The Arcade1Up companion app connects seamlessly to compatible cabinets (ones that are wifi-enabled) to bring a range of features to the user that is conveniently accessible through their mobile device. This allows users to share their high scores on social media easily. It also allows users to view their cabinet collection, including artwork of the cabinets themselves, within the app.

Social features

Perhaps the biggest appeal of the app is the social features it provides. Users can connect with and even message other users. With these features, it is possible to arrange gaming sessions and play arcade games with other users. The app also grants users early access to the latest news, product announcements, and events being arranged by the company.

A useful app for owners of Arcade1Up cabinets

While this app has little value for people who do not own Arcade1Up cabinets, it is a very useful app for gamers who do own those cabinets. It provides a range of social features and easy access to stats to news from the company that they would not otherwise get in a convenient way.
