The Bowling Buddy 4+

Great Basic Score Keeper

Does what it does very well. Hasn't crashed on me once.

As far as improvements go, I would like to see more stats! Where was my handicap three months ago as opposed to now? How often do I hit 200 or better? Highest/lowest scores? Which house do I perform better at? How does my handicap compare to which ball I used on a given night? These are just SOME of the stats I would be interested in... can't have too many stats!

So close to be perfect!

Very simple layout and UX. However, it’s so close to being really really good! Right now you can create different bowlers, but you can’t invite others to view their scores. Also, it would be better if you could create a single league, then assign bowlers to that league. Then you could view a cumulative ranking from a single league page. Right now each league is independently created, you can put the same name of the league, but that’s where the connection ends. We have a DIY weekly 12 person league, so we need an app that does what this app does, but has just a few more capabilities to get it over the line. Good job however, it’s a really nice app!

Good App

It was hard to find an app that didn't force you to track each game frame by frame. It's perfect if you want to keep track of just scores. I have it 4 stars because I would like to see a spot added where you can makes notes under each individual week that you add to a league. As in: underneath all of the scores for the week and and under the averages be able to type something like:
Week 1 - "Bowler" only bowling 2 games because of bad back.
Then allow a space for notes for each week like: "League lasts 28 weeks - mm/dd/yy - mm/dd/yy.
If a feature like this was added, I would gladly give 5 stars and recommend to other bowlers.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for reviewing my App. If you go to the Add/Edit Screen where you enter/edit your score, there is a text box "Location / Description" where you can enter whatever you like. I hope that will work for you. Buddy.
