Looking for a good Bowling App

**kev3inp** · 06-17-2012, 11:11 AM

I've seen people use an app on a palm pilot that was pretty detailed, but do they even make that any longer? I can't even remember what it was called, but I think WRW was using it, too, for a while.

Here's a page of apps that came up in a search: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_a.../bowling+score
There seems to be quite a bit for iphone, though.

The palm pilot one was called "Frames." Damn, can't edit again. It seems it comes and goes.

Bill ,,, now that you don’t have to build/design a bowling machine that does on demand pin setting!! How about designing a App, for the Kindle, that does all the cool stuff that Jasons does on his android phone!! I don’t know if its because the Kindle is relatively new, or just no demand for the product. But it would be sweet, on the kindle, as it is much larger then the phones!

I use My Lane Play on Android.....the full version costs like 6-7 bucks, but it's a nice little app. If you bowl seriously it's a good idea to keep track of your games. It really helps you utilise your practice time well (knowing exactly what spares you need to practice).

I use a free app for Ipad, Bowling Score Tracker. You enter the data either by game or by frame. It allows for a total, average, handicap, number of times you bowl a certain score, times you picked up any spare and how many pins for that spare, a percentage for strikes and spares by game and overall. It works for what I want it for. I don't care too much about which pin was left but wither I picked it up or not. The reason I use this app is because it was free and you can't beat free.

I use an IPAD 2 and have one called PinPal. Very detailed stat keeper. Has options for Tourney, League, and open bowling. Can input either by total score, frame count like 8/ or by actual pins. Can view stats bases on whether its League/Tourney/Open/Ball used/House bowled/ or most anything else. Omly thing I wished it would do is breakdown by lane. There is also an option to post to Facebook and twitter but those are not working right now.

I'm using the free version of "Good Bowler Stats" on my Droid. I enter each frame as I go. You can put in different leagues to track different averages. For instance, I just started using it at my league last week. So it shows my average, total games, high game, high series. Number of strikes, strike chances, strike percentage, most strikes in a row. For spares, it shows number of spares, number of spare chances, and spare percentage. Then you can view graphs showing scores by which game it was (first, second, etc.), series scores by date, strikes/spares/opens each game, and then spares/opens for single pin spare shots.

The version that costs money supposedly includes: tracking which ball you used for each throw, your mark, your feet position. You can break down stats per ball. I guess it'll show multipin spare stats. And the app only costs $0.99.
