Tutorials, step by step
Pick a phase on the left and work through it in order. Each one picks up where the last finished, so if you are new, start at Phase 1 and keep going.
New videos are being released as they are finished. Sections still filling up are marked "coming soon". If you cannot find what you need here yet, open the Help section inside the app and ask it your question, or email [email protected] and we will point you the right way.
Run the latest version before you follow along. These tutorials are filmed against the current release, so an older copy of the app may be missing options you see on screen. In Phenom Bingo, open the About page and click Check for Updates, then install anything waiting. It takes a few seconds and saves a lot of hunting for a button that is not there yet. Learned on an older version? The Updates section covers what has changed since.
