Excellent App For Bowlers Of Any Skill Level!. 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.

Still a great app.. Still a great app. Wish that there was a way to put my starting average in at the beginning of the bowling season. Also, if there was a calculation in place so I could determine and track my handicap during the season, that would be awesome. Otherwise; it’s still a great app. Are there any anticipated improvements on the horizon?

Can load to computer. Love the app, but every time I get a new phone I lose all my saved games. The website address doesn’t work, the app support link doesn’t work.

Great app! Just needs one more feature. I love this app! I use it for all my leagues and tournaments. Only request I have is to add a 3-ball option when inserting frames so duckpin/candlepin bowlers can use this feature accurately

Really do love the app but…. This app is awesome in every way except you can’t use it between your devices and it doesn’t back up to the cloud. So when upgrade phone like I did… lose it all because didn’t back up to computer first which I of course didn’t remember I needed to do. I upgrade my phone pretty much every 2 years. And I bowl a lot of tournaments and in a league. It would be really awesome if this backed up. It’s frustrating that it doesn’t.

Great app but rarely updated. I’ve been using this app for many years to track my scores and it’s wonderful. However it’s so rarely updated that I get concerned about it going unmaintained. More updates would put me at ease, but I’ll keep using it until it doesn’t work anymore!

Practically Perfect in Every Way. I love this app, I use it to track my practice as well as my games on my High School bowling team. I can find absolutely zero faults with it. Thanks for making it

Enjoy the app!!!. Really enjoy the app but it would really be a better tool if it had a small note box to write things I need to work on, adjustments made, or just how I was feeling that day so I can understand that 130 game lol

Best bowling scorer out!. This is the best scorer. It has the pins to see what you left, easy to understand statistics, and it adds your score and keeps a running average for leagues, tournaments and even practice.

Great app, until.... Have been bowling in leagues for a year now, and this app has been great. My whole history of inconsistency is there for me to see. Problem is, I now bowl in a league that bowls 4 games a night. There is no setting to change the league format in the app, so now I need to find a new app to let me keep track of scores regardless of the number of games per night.

Best Scorekeeper Out There.. I love this app, its really helped me analyze my game better, and more easily (maybe lazily) keep track of all my averages. The only thing I wish they would do, (especially with the high price), is add an apple watch feature that connects to your phone app for easier use while throwing back to back shots. Or just in case I forget my phone at home. But grabbing my phone is a minor inconvenience at most. I highly recommend this app to anyone trying to get serious about their game.

Great app for bowlers. Love the app, have been using it for close to 10 years. Really let’s me know what I need to work on during practice sessions (more often than not it’s the 10-pin). The only thing I would like to see added is ball speed.

Great App. I have had this app for years and still love it. It has helped me improve my games with the stats program. I have recommended this app to my friends and they have brought it and are loving it.

Love this app!. I’ve had this app for quite some time, and use it quite a bit. It’s awesome for newbies and pros alike. Keeps great track of all of the pertinent info one could need. My only issue is that you can’t adjust what kind of League it is you’re bowling. I do regular leagues, as well as 9-Pin-Tap fun leagues, and I’d like to be able to differentiate between the two. I’d also like to be able to eliminate certain leagues from the formula, so as to get a more accurate picture of my numbers. Still an awesome app though! Keep the updates coming!

Great app for stats and scores. Does everything I want for multiple leagues.

Great App. Been using it for a few seasons and I love the app! Good for keeping track of your progress…if it only did handicap it would be GOAT status 😊

Keeps the numbers I need. Inexpensive answer to my dilemma: how often do I miss the 10 pin! Other numbers too. Great tool for the league bowler looking to improve.

Everybody should use this. I love having a record of how I am doing on my leagues. Easy to keep track and review the stats. I tell everyone I know about it

$$$PinPal$$$. It does everything you could ask for I'd say. I like to see it sync with my other devices complete with stats like Dropbox does. I have to take a photo of the final score, save as a jpeg and put in Dropbox that way. But no stats.

Solid 4.5. Great easy to use app that keeps track of everything that I would like. Only reason I can’t give it a full 5 stars is because it lacks more customizable settings. (Rearranging leagues, ball names, etc. Default order is based on time when relevance or a manual order option would be fantastic!!) Hope to see something like that in the next update.

Good tracker!. Thanks for this app.... I use it in league and in practice. He only thing I’d like it to do that it does not is to also track where I start and what mark the ball rolls over. Otherwise I really like this app!

Best bowling stat tracker. 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.

Great data tool. I enjoy the data this gives me. I can get single game stats, tournament stats, or even all year long stats. Plus individual ball stats

new version wrong number of games. Is creating leagues where only one game is generated, Tried making 3 times. Have used for three years, and I really like it, but new bug needs to be corrected. On IOS14

Great. The app is great to keep track of progress and what not the only thing that I would like to see is maybe a no tap option?

Great app but need added features. Love the app. Performs as advertised. But it would be even better if you could share data between devices (e.g. Bowling data entered on an iphone transferred to the ipad i normally use so all of the score data is in the same place for stats). Also it would be great if bowling data for more than one person could be entered and saved.

Great Bowling App!. We are so happy we found this app. It helps us share my son share his results with his grandfather and his coach...I love and use it all the time. We have introduced it to every family on his High School bowling team and they are all using it. We cannot wait for a team application. His coaches really would like to be able to keep the teams stats on one app. I recommend that if you love bowling and you want to see how you progress buy this app!

Bowler’s Helper. This is a great app for bowlers. It’s inexpensive and simple to use. I wish there was a way it would maintain my data on different devices.

Won’t add back to a new phone. How do you add back to a new phone I purchased this app years ago and now I can’t re add it

Love it. This is the third season for which I am using the app, and it has been seamless. My data transferred to my new iPhone, and I never needed to create a backup. If you're a stat person like me and like to see what you do well (how well you make corner pins, what you average with a particular ball, what you average in the 2nd game, for example), this is an app you'll find very useful.

Simple and easy to use. If you’re just wanting to track scores and leaves PinPal is perfect. Have had no issues. I’ve been using it for several years to track my progress. Just need to get my spare % up!

Good app. I wish you could see your leaves for every frame all the time.... rather than having to go back to each frame to look...

It's the best hands down!. I've had PinPal for a long time now, and it's still the best. Easy to use and more features. Others are either lacking or too expensive. Best bowling app for stats!

Just right. 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.

Stats are not right. Aesthetically, this is the best app. But practically, it is useless. The stats are completely incorrect. When using filters to run stats, the results don’t match the data. I have noticed several situations when the stats didn’t make sense with the data, but the latest issue I have is that I have 7 games with a particular ball, but the stats show just 2. And yes, I triple checked to make sure that all 7 games had that ball selected in the input data. Maybe it is just the filters that are not being calculated correctly, but how can the rest be trusted?

Great easy to use app. I have been using the app for about 6 years. Easy to use, tons of data. Only problem I have is some weird or mislabeled categories. Entering average shows as 198, average 210 for the night, NEW average shows as 197 on the end of night page. How can I bowl over average and average goes down. I think the labels are reversed

Spend money on this???. Down loaded this app only got part of it, only thing I could put in is the league name and lanes names and nothing else. Don’t show pins

Great app...but need a cloud backup/sync feature. Great app. Love the ease, clean interface, and easily available stats. Keeping track of scores and pins makes me a much more cognizant bowler. It’s a must for everyone. A few Things I wish you would add A database entry for lane. This way you can see what your statistics are on different pairs of lanes A Cloud backup/sync. I like to bring my iPad to the lanes and use that for inputting scores. If I forget the iPad I have to use my phone then screenshot the games and transfer them to my iPad later. This is not very convenient. The phone and iPad should be in sync like many other apps Hope you can add this stuff in the next update.

Great app for Data Geeks and bowlers. Used another app for scores, excel for averages and paper score sheets for reference. This bad boy does it all. The price is perfect if you care about yourself and believe in supporting programmers who put a lot of thought and care into their work. Great job guys. Only addition would be to show the three games scores in written form for leagues for a nice snap shot.

Only one hand. I bowl both right and left handed, it would be nice to keep them separate... otherwise it is a great program

Great app. This bowling stat app is one of the best. Keeps everything you need to know to improve your game. Was wondering if you are working on being able to let the app go to landscape mode for example I use it on my iPad and like to turn my iPads Because my case but I can’t because the app won’t spin with the iPad. Thank you and hope this is something you can make happen

League setup not as expected. I have PinPal on iPhone SE gen 2 and the slider for games per week in the new league screen appears to default to 3 but it’s really set for 1 game. When I go to drag the slider the app behaves as if I am swiping left.

Great bowling stat tracking app. This app has it all.. you’re able to track what ball you’re throwing, it separates leagues from tournaments, and gives stats for both individual nights and the entire season. Great tool for improvement!

Easy to use!. Love the app, easy to use with good info! Wish I could add my friends and see their stats

Great app. Worth the price. I've been using PinPal for 4 years and I love it. Even with its higher price tag, it's a good value. Developer has emailed back with responses within a day on both occasions. Would be nice to see a tablet version with team stats capabilities. $4.99 would give it 5 stars.

Awesome. I can keep track of my stats in league and I can keep track of how I do with my equipment very useful app

Best bowling app ever. I have been using this app for many, many years through many, many phones. Always backs up perfect and the support is awesome!

The best bowling app. This has been such a successful tool for helping me improve my game. I recommend it to everyone. The four people I have recommended this app to, this year, are enjoying it also.

Worth the price. Been using this app for 3+ years and it’s nice to be able to keep track of the splits I’ve made and seperate categories for tournaments and open bowling. Gotta say this app is a must for solo bowlers who want to keep track of their stats.

Great app!. It’s nice to see the developer updating the app after a few year hiatus. I’ve been a proud owner of this app for over 9 years, and have used it in every league I’ve been in since 2014. The app is fantastic in what it does. I really like the addition of the “makeable spare” category. One thing this app is missing that other scoring apps have is the ability to record your feet and mark position. Then you can record where your ball went in relation to your mark. Being able to see the percentage of throws you missed your mark, and what you left as a result would be a great teaching/learning tool. Adding Apple Watch support to record your frames would also be a phenomenal addition.

Amazing. What a great app, it's so easy to track my scores and monitor my improvement. Definitely worth a buy!

Best bowling app in the market. This is the best bowling application out there in the market. Definitely value for money. Great tool for recording and keeping track of your performance. It allows you to analyse your performance week by week & round by round. The ability to record the pins that you knockdown for each frame means that this application can provide you with a comprehensive stats of your overall performance, what you are doing well and what you need to improve on (e.g. sparing the 10-pin). Well done, Jeff for this amazing application. Thank you for answering my queries and taking my feedback into consideration for future development / update. Keep up the good work. Final note, this is a must have application for all you keen league bowlers out there.

Amazingly good stats app. Perfect

great app. ive used this app for almost a year and its been a good help. good to know exactly how many strikes and spares im getting and which pins i keep leaving up. well worth the money for any bowler

Pin Pal. Awesome, if you're a serious bowler you need this.

Just a question. Arm could it be possible if you could make this app for iPad as well please other than that it's a good app?

What's Next. Well this is the only app of this kind I've found on the app store. The application is easy to use and simple to learn. If it has a short fall, its that you can't change the date of days that you bowl on(especially if you buy the application half way through a season). The application has other shortfalls such as its inability to provide handicap information. But I am sure that this will follow in later version. But despite these shortfalls, the application is excellent for recording bowling results.

Awesome. Well worth it.

This app is awesome!!. Jus love how I can log my score and see how I've progressed over the weeks!! MEGA 5 STARS FOR THIS APP!! :-D

PinPal. Great program so easy and quick

Awesome. Good way to keep score

Great bowling app!. This app has helped my game so much!

Nice app. Good app to keep track of your scores and provides some cool statistics. Now we just need support for the iPhone X screen and it's gonna be perfect!

Fun. Would be nice to be able to record pocket and Brooklyn

Great features and easy to use!. App developer is an avid bowler and hence this app has features a bowler would want. Highly recommend. Less than the cost of a single 3 game series. App is enhanced by developer from time to time plus the developer is very quick to respond to support emails.

Great App!. Great app for any bowler.

One of the best score tracking apps. Great app! 5 stars if you make a button for spare in stead of having to hit next ball!

Simple to use, provides excellent results. Buttons are clear, provides very useful statistics and does a great job of letting users know what they need to work on. Thanks Jeff, you made a great app!

Good app. This is s great app for any bowler. My only criticism is that it counts splits against your spare conversion percentage and that’s not correct. Splits aren’t suppose to be included in your spare conversion

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!. Absolutely love this app. Been using it for over a year now. I am a proshop proprietor (IBPSIA Advanced HOTS Certified) as well as a ranked collegiate bowler. I love the versatility this app offers as well as it's stats analysis and user interface. The one thing that I recommend adding is a target/alignment tool. Having the ability to track where your feet start, ball position at the arrows, and ball position at breakpoint for different lanes/patterns would be greatly beneficial along with what ball was thrown for that shot. Other than that I cannot say enough about this app. I have recommended this app to all my customers/league mates/tournament buddies and the feedback is phenomenal. Congrats and thank you for producing this app tailored to bowlers everywhere.

Phenomenonal app. Really a perfect app. Easy to use and keeps great stats that really help you identify problems in your game.

Great app. Easy to use good way to keep up with what you are doing in league and tournaments

Good app. I would love to see a way to track wins and losses in league.

A Bowlers Best Friend. Great App! Easy to use and gives you all the statistics you need! Well worth the $$$$!

Awesome!!. Great app for keeping stats for bowling. I have been using it every week for league play for the last 3 or 4 years.

Great Tool. Pin Pal is a great way to have an idea where your game needs improvement.

Awesome App!!. Works great!! Great support from the creator.

Pin pal easy to use. Easyest to use of all of the iPhone Apps for bowling stats. But lacks some of the basic tools of Others of other apps, like,, Game notes very important to advance bowlers Ball selection for each game (could be put in notes, but part of other programs Lane numbers per game(good to see how you do on specific pairs in your house. Target on the lane tracking, tracks arrows where you playing. Choice to pick pins left than pins knocked down on pin scoring( makes scoring faster, you only have to tap what left which is always less pins than Knocked down Overall great interface fast easy scoring Looking forward to some of these updates This is my second review of the latest update, which adressed almost all that was missing from the last version. Love the Pins knocked down option, The notes box, and the alley box. this is the best app for the money. With the fastest data entry of all the apps I have used in the past, love the fact that strikes are allready up so you only have to enter when pins are left, love all the different stats mostly spares left. will reccomend this to all avid. Bowlers. This is the best stats app out there specially for the money, a fraction of the price of Frames. Thanks to Jeff for a great Job!!! Ps the only things missing are target positions per frame and lane assignment stats. That would make this A perfect App. This should give you some ideas for your next update.

Amazing. This is an amazing app.

PinPals. Luv the app!! I’m a statistic person and just luv it

Very good. Nice App. Keeps you focus on your game and you have all your stats on your hand. I really like it.

Great app. I love this app, a lot if saber metrics and it's easy to use

Solid app and great support -- a MUST for serious bowlers. I purchased this app to keep stats on my 9-year-old son's league bowling, and after almost one complete season of use, I can definitely say this is one solid app. Having the flexibility to just enter scores or frame-by-frame data (which results in some nice additional statistics) is welcome. For bowlers in multiple leagues, it's a breeze to create new leagues and track results separately. It's also nice to track open bowling results separate from any league. One thing I might suggest adding in a future release would be to track venue so that stats could be looked at by venue. For example, I might open bowl at several houses, but I know I definitely tend to bowl better at one vs. the others. It would be interesting to see where exactly I'm struggling at the other houses via the statistics. But even if this isn't added, it's a solid app. The developer is obviously proud of this app and supports it well. It IS a bit pricy (I would recommend a price point closer to $5), but it does the job well. I truly look forward to updates and see what additional functionality the author puts in. One of the app store's best.

A must. Helps my game, by providing a way to focus on my opportunities to improve.

Tournaments.. It be cool if this connected to the cloud and could be used to keep score on my laptop.

Nice Looking App But Incomplete. This is a very nice looking but, incomplete. It's missing league average calculations. Yes it calculates your scratch average per game set but, not an overall league average per league or house. It's a great tool for practice sessions but, for leagues it needs work. Save your money and get iBowlStats instead.. Wasted my $8.99 😔

4-Game League. I found if I set up my 4-game league under TOURNAMENTS, it allows me to enter the score for the fourth game.

Awesome app. Great app to keep your scores and stats

Best bowling app. If you are a statistics nut like me, it breaks down every spare

Awesome.. This is the best APP ever thank you

Xx. Great App and Jeff is very responsive to any problems. He fixed one I discovered in less than a day

Awesome!. The is great but I was wondering how to enter my average from a league?

Great app!!. A great app for tracking your scores, spares, and improving your game! I highly recommend!!

Perfect. Perfect. Simple, easily to use and great support.

Review. This is the best app that I have ever used.

Very good!. It's worth the money! In a future update I'm hoping there's a way to look up scores via lane number. Other than that this app is great.

Not worth $9. I didn’t realize the app is not compatible with the iPad or that it did not support more than one bowler. If I am missing something please let me know.

4th game options for leagues. Everything is great the only thing I have a problem with is if I’m bowl in a league that bowls more than 3 games, we should have a option to keep adding games for league play.

Great app. This is a great app. I see so many people using it. Tracks your scores spare percentage and strike percentage.

Best one out there.. Enough said!

Great App. Very useful

One suggestion. If there was a way you could move tournaments and leagues around in the list this would be the perfect app.

Best scoring app there is!!!. Great app. Ease of entry is great. It does not get in the way of your bowling.

Best Bowling Score App.. I love this app. It keeps my overall avg, ball avg, alley avg. very good statistics. I never go bowling without it!

Best bowling app. Great way to keep stats

PinPal. Love this app, only thing I wish I could do is to print the stats. Other-wise it is a wonderful app.

Perfect app. Best app to have for bowling

PinPal rocks!!!. Such a smooth and easy to use app!! Thank you

Lose everything. I love this app for all my stats however when you get a new device, you lose all of your data! Super disappointed.

Like this one best. Does what it suppose to do and I like that it keeps multiple leagues

Awesome app. It’s awesome!

Great App. I love this app. The only issue I have is, I wish it were visually stimulating.

Great Bowling Tracker!. Simple, easy to use, and easy to input your pins. Strongly recommend this app!

All most great. All you need to now is be able to add your handicap in as well to how much it is going up or down as well

Great app. Best app ever. I have tried most out there.

Review. Excellent App

Very easy to use. I use this regularly. Excellent way to track stats.

Thumbs down. Hard to navigate. 2 days later my league scores were missing.
