The Interface (GUI)
If you're familiar with Play Buddy's produts then you're already aware that getting to know the Pop Sprint Buddy interface is easy.
The prominent feature is the Display area that provides a visual reference to what's happening on the game itself. This is also where
you'll be shown hints. Next is the Stats area where you can always be informed as to the number of games played,
the amount of coins earned, and the highest score achieved thus far. Now on to the interactive buttons...
The Autoplay button will begin the autoplay and can be stopped at any time.
Similarly, the GUI can be collapsed or expanded at any time. The Show hint and Play Hint buttons will do exactly that.
Pop Sprint Buddy also offers an arrangement of menu options: Options, Rooms and Help. You can learn more about these by reading below. |

Menu Options
 |
The Options menu allows you to access Pop Sprint Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Pop Sprint Buddy and/or request a new feature. |
|
The Rooms menu has one of most valuable features of Pop Sprint Buddy. It contains backdoors to each of Pogo's Poppit Sprint room topics. |
|
The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Pop Sprint Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Bug Report feature to use when Pop Sprint Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates. |

Optimizing Performance
- Under cover: Don't want the Buddy to appear on your taskbar? Use the minimize to tray option!
- Brains AND Braun: If you want a badge or a round completed fast, make sure that the speed is set to the fastest setting AND you may even get on the HIGH SCORE list!
- Saving Coins: By default Pop Sprint Buddy is saving your coins by NOT saving selected powerups. This setting can be changed under the options.
