Ratings & Reviews
This update adds optional social features on top of the existing private, on-device bowling tracker:
1. Social tab — view friends and a global leaderboard. Adding friends is via a share link / Universal Link; the friend graph syncs through CloudKit.
2. Shared leagues & standings — a user can share one of their leagues via a code/link; members who join see a standings table (ranked by handicap or scratch average).
3. UI cleanup: the bowling-equipment screen moved into Profile, and the "Bowl" sheet was reorganized.
