Does anyone use any bowling apps on their Android device?
I've been thinking about a way to keep track of my scores to see if I see a pattern emerging. For example, the first year I bowled league, I received stats at the end of the year that showed my average for game 3 was higher than game 2, which was higher than game 1. It was neat to see that it looked like I needed to warm up a little and that game 3's were typically my best games of the night. So I went ahead and looked in the Google Play Store for some bowling apps to keep track of my scores.
The two that I downloaded (that were free) were Bowling Scores and My Bowling Free.
What I like about Bowling Scores are the aesthetics. It's nice how the scores and strike percentages are represented as bar graphs or as pie charts. But it still feels like something is missing.
On the other end is My Bowling Free. No cool pie charts but you do get a line graph and more statistics. Plus you can enter your scores as pins and go back and look at your score sheet for your games so that's neat.
So a quick visual representation of your scores and percentage of shots (strikes, spares, opens, etc.) comes up with Bowling Scores and more numbers pop up in My Bowling Free so for now I'll keep using both to see if I notice anything with both. What's nice about My Bowling Free is that you can export your data as a CSV file so if you wanted to do more statistics on your own you could.
So again, anyone use any bowling apps or have good recommendations?
