Elite Bowling Experience 12+

There’s a lot of things you can say about this app but good isn’t one of them.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS APP UNLESS YOU KNOW FULL WELL WHAT YOU WILL GET !!! DO NOT RELY ON THE 12+ RATING ASSIGNED!!

This app and others I have downloaded and installed (and subsequently uninstalled) by this vendor, *** RL TECHNOLOGY LLC *** feature rap music accompaniment whose lyrics are extremely graphic and hardcore (and are, so far as I can tell, completely unrelated to “bowling” or other games where they have been used.) The app here under review, ELITE BOWLING EXPERIENCE, features rap music accompaniment whose lyrics flaunt the n-word and the f-word in all their various forms, and contain other, inappropriate language and themes throughout which have no place in an app rated as 12+ .

I actually don’t believe ANY case or justification can be made for apps at the app store to contain music whose lyrics contain blatant use of the n-word. Let such lyrics be available in other managed venues, but let them stay out of our obviously inappropriately rated apps.

No matter what the rating happens to be for the app, it has no place ANY iPhone/iPad app for sale in the Apple app store! As it happens to be, the rating for ELITE BOWLING EXPERIENCE is 12+ but I will NOT be recommending this app to ANY 12 year-old I know... Wait.. Actually, for any age group I know. That is, I don't recommend this app for anyone at all!

Hence, the reason for my rating of just one star. But because of the seriousness of the matter, if I could've rated it 0 stars I would have done so. What's worse, as another reviewer noted, there's no option to turn off the music (and with it the lyrics), so you are forced (unless you turn the sound right down on your device) to listen to a repeating loop of totally inappropriate, unrelated and, very hard-core bigoted lyrics, with the n-word and the f-word in all their varied glorious forms, spread out through the loop and repeated over and over, again and again.

Music with lyrics like those in this app just feed the fires of racism, bigotry and gun violence and have absolutely NO place in the Apple app store! Even if you say the only issue here is the wrong rating which should be 17+ because it has somewhat of a gambling theme, featuring in-app purchases that trade real money for coins and advantages in their games, I say, even with the highest rating of 17+ , this app and other similar game apps by RL TECHNOLOGY LLC that feature music with similar lyrics and themes are completely inappropriate for ANY appStore and that Apple *should* pull them from the appStore until such time that, at the very bares minimum, the rating is changed to 17+ AND contain a warning about the lyrics, or, more appropriately, just replace out these lyrics with more acceptable, inoffensive lyrics -- or just instrumentals -- which will not be offend or insult just about anyone.

For sure a "BOWLING!! " game has no need for rapped lyrics (copied down as best as Icould) like:

"Ain't no rules, ain't no rules -- n-word..

hey man, I feel like I'm in heaven, let's go out and rob a 7-11, n-word, ain't no rules"

"Strapped up like Rambo, headed for the gmbo n word, ain't no rules, yeah, n-word, ain't no rules"

I never really got around to be involved with this app once I heard th lyrics

Downloaded, installed...Fails my moral compass...

UNINSTALLED.

You can’t control curves, it only goes straight. And even then, it isn’t even accurate. Flick straight up, and it’ll go right. Pins don’t react realistically. Graphics are meh. Bowling Crew is much better. And there is no setting to turn off music. It gets annoying after the first few launches of the app.
