Looking for a good Bowling App

[martinezsam2495]

Most bowling games on the iphone, haven't tested IPAD, but it kind of sucks since it's not as easy to throw it with hook, and it gets more complicated, well the one's I've played. For the Mac there is a game called Gutterball 2 which I have, and that game is pretty fun, you can in a way throw a ball realistically and it will hook depending on the way you throw it.

The app michael is looking for is not a game but a way of keeping track of your bowling scores and which pins you leave etc....

Well I give up!! Was up late last night looking for a bowling app to keep track, and records of bowling. I like the one Jason has on his phone, but it does not work on kindle Fire! Any Software guys reading this, that work for Kindle Fire???? Hummmm I thought not….. well I guess I will have to do without! Story of my life! Except for my wonderful Wife!! If anyone does ever get wind of a good bowling software program for my unit, please let me know….. michael

Kindle uses a proprietary version of android, so a lot of droid apps either don't work or work poorly, it seems. There were a lot of pricey apps we looked at when the wife got her tablet, but it's not a kindle.

I searched a lot last night. The only app Amazon HAD for a Kindle is no longer available. It didn't say why just that it' out of stock and not sure if it will be restocked. I did find one for the computer that's free, seems easy to use and can be kept confidential www.bowlsk.com

Laptop would be a lot more of a pain then just bring the Kindle Fire. It would fit in the side of my bowling bag. Nice to know they do have programs for the computer. I think now, at this point in my bowling game, it would be fun to keep statistics and know exactly when I started going down hill!! Lol
Or what percentages of various combinations I am leaving, number of strikes per game, ect… Wouden’t it be great Bill if someone comes up with a good program for the Kindle!!! I like the convenience and size of the unit!! Would be easy to transport, unlike my laptop.

It would be great but instead of transporting my laptop I plan on writing it all in a small notebook and transferring the info as I want to.

I've looked at the ipad/iphone apps available and my question is - when you bowl in a league do you get a printout each week that tracks all of your shots? What pins were left, etc? Because that would make it easier to use these apps...the other option I guess would be to input the data in to the phone between each frame which seemed tedious to me.

Or maybe the bowling alley of the future will be wifi enabled and can transmit the data to our phones automatically

I know that the print outs at our alleys don't show you the specific pins. What you can do is -- Enter what pins you left after each frame. Or, you can remember what pins you left each frame and enter after the game. I do a combination of both. If you get a lot strikes and only have a couple frames where you left some pins, it's easier to remember what pins you left. Also, If it's a single pin, I can remember what pin it was when looking back to that frame. When I leave some crazy, with a lot of pins, I usually enter after the frame so I don't forget.

My teammate enters after every frame as he tracks pocket, brooklyn, pins left, etc What's annoying is when he gets back after a spare shot and asks what was left. Are you serious, you were just looking at it?!
