This is a fantasticapp that I have thoroughly enjoyed using. I am using the Pro account and it stores as many games as you want and uploading scores is a breeze and comes literally at the tap of the screen. Stats are automatically calculated broken down and can also be compared with friends, other bowlers at your bowling center and even against pro bowlers! I have tried many bowling apps and this is by far the best!! One note for any iphone users is that they are still working on a bug where you can not get the first year discount on an annual subscription if you take advantage of the trial. If that happens just contact customer support within the app and let them know - their customer service is excellent but thought people should know in case this happens to them.

Used the app for about 9 months and was just starting to like it enough to consider subscribing, when something happened. Almost everything was moved into a pay tier. Now having worked with software vendors for decades I decided I am not playing that game this time. If a feature was free and they move it into a pay tier they will do it again. I do not feel like being on the hook for monthly subscriptions only to find out what I was using now costs more. I read some reviews and apparently this has been done by Lanetalk in the past, so it only confirms my suspicions. I was at league tonight and someone was using it and I told them I had deleted my app and I used to love it and he said they reversed the decision and opened it back up as it was before. Apparently this is not the case as I just reinstalled it and it is slightly better than when I removed it the first time but still most features are behind a paywall. I will not be sucked into using an app then my data held hostage for money down the road for a new tier to pop up. It was fun while it lasted. I will be deleting it again after this review is posted. Thanks.

If you asked me to rate the app last week I would have given it 5 stars. I loved the fact that Lanetalk’s free version allowed you to track your games. But I also have friends who use the paid version and I thought that those amenities were awesome. When I first started out it was nice to see my improvements and get high fives on my games. The update took this away and put it on the pay side which honestly means that the app lost a user with me. I am a league bowler but I’m not great. As I become more technical and a better bowler I saw more value in the paid version and thought about doing the upgrade and converting to see stats and make challenges but now I have a bad taste like the developers just wanted more monthly subscribers so they took away the one thing that people of all skill ranges enjoyed. I really hope that it changes back but I just deleted the app because I won’t need it in the future as is. I hope it doesn’t deter other users but for now you lost an app user because unless I get the paid version it does not provide me with anything I can use.

Been using this for this season, the experience so far has been a solid “meh”. The plus bit finds my center and the automatic tracking is good, but the whole user experience is just off. Confusing to add leagues, or your specific league, those are tags, which took a lot of playing with the app to figure out. PinPal does this much better. Stats and filtering stats is clunky, and the stats provided are pretty limited. What’s my first game average? Well to figure that out I would need to add a 1st game tag to every first game and then filter on it. Same for 2nd, 3rd… nth game. How many clean games do I have? I suppose that’s another custom tag I would have to do. How many 10 pins did I leave vs picked up? They give you some of that data, left and percent converted, but to figure out how many you missed, that’s math you have to do. PinPal kills this on stats. Honestly, for the price, this feels unfinished and very Minimum Viable Product. Kinda with I’d just stayed with PinPal
