Do you love attending sporting events? Do you know how many times you’ve been there to see your team win? Maybe concerts are more your style. Have you and your friends been looking for a way to document the concerts you’ve been to together? If so, then Momento is the app for you.
Momento is a unique app that gives sports fans and concert goers the ability to track the events they attend in a digital profile.
For each sporting event or concert attended, users add a new “Momento” to their profile, which serves as a digital ticket to commemorate the event. Users can customize each Momento with photos from their camera roll from the game or concert, providing a distinct way to look back on each event.
A Momento is added by selecting the event from the app’s database, which currently supports over 775 leagues and artists. The Momentos are then all displayed on the user’s profile.
“I like that we are not only able to keep track of how many times we’ve been to a sporting event but know our record at sporting events,” says Momento user Abby Stoner.
There are tabs for each sport on the app, where users can view statistics from their Momentos about how many games they have attended, their record when seeing each team play, and the number of times a venue has been visited.
“I love being able to see how many games I’ve been to, where I’ve sat at those games, and the record for the games I’ve attended,” long time Momento user Grace Davies adds. “Having one spot where I can look at all the live events I have been to is something I really enjoy.”
Momento has enhanced the fan experience by giving users a place to collect all of these memories in one place.
The app began as only documenting sporting events, but has evolved to add an entire music section. Concerts and festivals have a separate tab on profiles with statistics about how many times users have seen an artist and visited venues.
The customization doesn’t stop there. Users can also select specific artists and teams to be displayed as favourites on their profile. Davies has seen these features in the app change the game for her as a fan.
“There are no other apps like it, and I love how you can document almost anything on it, including concerts,” she says of the platform’s versatility. “I love using this app as a journal of all the games I’ve been to.”
In addition to documenting personal experiences at events, the app provides a unique social feature to allow users to fully document their memories. Users can tag each other in Momentos to track who they’ve attended events with. Overtime the app keeps statistics for this too in a leaderboard on their profile of who they’ve gone to the most events with.
Momento users are quick to point out this feature’s impact.
“It helps to remember those memories,” says Momento user Sydney Nolasco.
“The app enhances my fan experience by connecting me with other fans,” user Nat Vargo adds. “By having a platform to organize pictures, seats, and friends from past games.”
Users love Momento for its game-changing ability to connect people in a digital scrapbook of their favourite events. It’s created a timeless community for fans of all sports and artists.
Going forward, users want to continue to see the app grow to support their fandoms. Users have been justifiably clamoring for the app to show greater women’s sports representation.
“I would love to see more development in women’s sports on the app,” Davies emphasizes. “At the moment, the PWHL is very underrepresented and I would love to see that change.”
While the app currently has a wide variety of leagues, games from expansion teams in the PWHL have yet to be fully added to the platform. Davies, a Vancouver Goldeneyes fan, has been quick to point out her team’s absence. She’s not alone with that sentiment.
“There are a lot of women’s sports and college sports that are not included in the app,” Nolasco says. “It would be nice to see more inclusion.”
Since its emergence into the sports scene, Momento has been quick to evolve and improve the fan experience of people everywhere. Users trust that the app will continue to change and grow to allow them to fully document their experiences, as they saw with the introduction of the music sector of the app. It’s become a trusted place for sports and concert goers to save and remember important memories of their fandom.
New sports seasons, concerts, and music festivals are on the way with summer rapidly approaching. Now is the perfect time to get the app and upgrade your fandom by creating a timeless digital scrapbook of memories.
Momento is available for free download in the Apple App store and Google Play store now.
