Do you think we'll ever see Organized Play become fully digitally accessible?
I ask because I'm chronically disorganized, and have lost more chronicle sheets (and even character sheets) than I still have. It seems like it shouldn't be that big of a deal to have an App that can officially track your characters progress and simplify these issues.

If you mean "Use some App provided by some person to track things" then there are already apps that do at least some of the tracking for you (can't be more specific as I personally use a spreadsheet that I've created).
If you mean "When will Paizo provide such an app that gets all its information from reports" then probably never
1) Such an app would have to handle misreported or unreported games somehow. Currently, those are less of an issue as long as you have the chronicle sheet
2) Paizo has a REALLY REALLY bad track record of actually providing useful S/W in anything even vaguely coming within shooting range of a reasonable time frame. To be generous, it is NOT an area of Core Expertise for the company.
3) I'm sure they have way higher priorities for their staff than an App that they probably couldn't charge for (certainly couldn't charge for if it was essential as opposed to optional without massively impacting the primary purpose of Organized Play which is to be a marketing tool).

Not very likely. The novas don't show correctly and haven't for.. 8 years? I can't see a workable tracking system, especially as not everyone brings a tablet with them to games.
If you click the loot tab you can see how I keep track of stuff (because i'm bad at managing files all over the place). People wanting to see anything other than the character sheet is really rare but I can't see many dms not accepting that.

You're chronically disorganized? I am too!
It's why I use the Google Suite to organize myself. Thanks to RPG Chronicles, 90% of my chronicles come to me electronically, and I file them in google folders along with a Spreadsheet to track my XP, Rep, and money. I even keep my character sheet in there.
My boyfriend created the Spreadsheet Template that I use. Feel free to copy it for yourself if you like it.
I don't think that Paizo will ever fully digitalize Organized Play - however wonderful it would be to have a system that tracks it all for us, Paizo's website just is not up to the challenge. But we can digitize ourselves and keep track that way.
Hmm
