Bowling Scoring Apps Comparison (specifically Android)

I have tried several, and Bowling Scorekeeper is the only one I use now. It does everything I need for keeping track of my stats, very easy to use and free.

I've been using Strike Out Stats for Android. The thing I like about it is that you can globally see your stats and compare it with other users. The only thing I don't like is I can't specify what ball I've changed to in each frame. I can only specify it per game.

I recently found Frames for Android, which seems like it's got what I need, being able to specify what ball I used per frame. You can also specify what board and arrow your at. Unfortunately, even though I'm at a board, I often move forward or back as well. Although I haven't used it yet and just kind of entering data and messing with it, it seems to crash allot. I don't know if it has any global stats, to see how well I do against other bowlers.

I use Strike Out Stats totally revolutionized my scorekeeping lol. I was writing stuff manually in a bowling record book. Nice seeing all the different stats I have and keeping track of the various leagues I'm in.

Although the concept of Frames for Android looks good, the app is buggy. I tried using it in a league. If you leave the app and do something else, like text, then when you try to go back, the app closes. You then have to enter the scores back again. Found this out on the 3rd game, by the 7th frame. I'm going to back to Strike Out Stats.

I've been using my lane play and love it. Ball changes during a game, no problem. Leave to answer a text, no proble. Stats are there and enough to help. Doesn't do starting position or breakpoint though but I already have enough to do during league

I had Bowling Scorekeeper for Android, it's pretty good, but also pretty basic. I only used it to track scores by game, as well as tracking my overall averages.

I now have an iPhone, and use iBowlStats (paid app). It's far more advanced than the bowling scorekeeper app, with even more info that you can input to track EVERYTHING, even as far as what ball you are using, What slide in your shoe you're using, the length of the oil, the pattern used, where you're standing, etc... I use it to track my scores, frame by frame, pin by pin. In as much as it does, I probably only use 25% of everything else that you can do with this app..
