PinPal

I thoroughly enjoy using this app, and it’s helped me with my game. Friendly UI and easy stat sorting. Excellent work! Future updates/features to consider for the developer: possible addition of a set of editable and selectable yes/no question(s) that can be answered for each frame, which then gets compiled with statistics. For example, if I wanted to practice my balance that game, I would select “Did I keep my balance?” for that game (the same as you would select a ball or oil pattern), then each frame I would select yes or no, which would then be compiled into the stats for that question. Perhaps this feature could be able to be toggled on/off.

Been using this app since I starting bowling again in 2017 (been 25 years since). Had to back up my data because I got a new phone and was terrified all my data wouldn’t transfer but it did and it was so easy to do. Provided you use it regularly like I do, it’s amazing to look back on high games and watch your average grow. Also tracks what ball you use for what game, notes to add for lane conditions/adjustments, and so much more. So glad to have found this and for anyone wanting to watch their average move over a 5 year span, this is a must have. No subscription needed, just a one time fee and it is so worth it. The Lite version was good but didn’t take me long to just buy the full version. Not disappointed one bit.

Updated March 2022: this app has stood up to the test of time. I now have over 7000 games on the app and have gone from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 6S+. I highly enforce this app. I have tried many score keeping apps, but this is the one that has stuck. Ease of use is where pinpal shines. I stick my phone in my back pocket, pull it out, record my score and put it back, all before my ball returns. I have recorded over 3500 games on pinpal and I love it. Don't let the ease of use fool you, pinpal is a powerful statistic machine. All of the relevant stats are right at you finger tips: strike %, spare %, leaves etc... . Pinpal is a valuable tool for your game.
