Leave a Review Lanetalk Bowling
Great start…
This app is pretty awesome with the live tracking. However functionality is a BIT clunky. Some buttons can disappear when searching for a player. Loses connectivity at times, and doesn’t like to restablish and have to kill the app. Problem with killing the app, you need to search for yourself all over again, which can pull you out of the game (PLEASE REMEMBER WHO WE ARE IF, IF WE HAVE TO LOG IN IT SHOULD REMEMBER WHO WE ARE),
There are some features id like to see (like stacking of my games as they progress (game 1,2 and 3 on the share screen or an option on the live screen). Along with a few others.
Otherwise a good app and a VERY good step in the right direction. WORTH IT!Show lessWasteland, Inc.

Hi, thank you very much for your detailed feedback. The connectivity in some centers is a pain, which is why we recommend users to complete their games and use the ADD GAMES feature instead of the Live tracking. With this approach, the app won't crash and you won't have the same challenges. However, we are working on a new version that will save your settings so that when the connectivity is bad, the app won't crash. It will be released in a couple of weeks. If you have any issues, please reach out to our technical support: support@lanetalk.com. Thanks for using the app!Active developers but still minor issues.
Every once in a while there will be an adding error in the 8th, 9th or 10th frame where it will give you a wrong total score on manually added games. The only way to fix it is to edit a frame and make it look like you left more pins than you did. I have a screenshot of an example if the devs want me to email it. This has happened since the day I downloaded it all the way through current version. I know it will be fixed soon but it is frustrating for now. Still working on getting my house to set up LaneTalk with their system, which would eliminate this problem I’m experiencing, they just explain it’s a difficult process but something they would like to do. Overall, I love the app.
Feature request; a button or some place I could see max possible score on the app.Show lessPFC Awesome
Good features
I just started using the app now that it has become available for one of the centers I bowl at locally and I am enjoying it so far. It was a little touchy at first because I wasnt aware you have to press a couple of buttons to save the game for the day but now that I have caught on it is super useful and good to see percentage stats right in front of me to show some things I need to work on. Lastly I like the ranking system where I can see how I am compared to others that bowl in the same center as me. I still use pinpal as a secondary scoring system but use this one also.Show lessGreen.PBA.2023
Stats
The app good takes a long time to load in features don’t always work so I just add my games later which is probably the best feature I don’t have to track while I’m bowling sometimes it takes a couple days for games to show up but not a big deal. What really irritates me is the stats and calculations the have no explanation on how they calculate something or any real way to expand on anything it really lacks there. PinPal was and still is the best for keeping true statistics on your bowling game.Show lessGame cast

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We are working on making the stats even better. Some centers do have a delay issue in sending us the scores and we are working together with the centers and their scoring system suppliers to solve that issue. If you have any other feedback, please contact us at support@lanetalk.com, thanks!Promising but…
The ability to track your games and show you advance stats is really cool. What’s not cool is not being able to find your ball under the gear/arsenal tab, or not being able to find your bowling alley to add it to your ‘home alley’ in your profile. I wouldn’t expect them to have every ball ever made, but mine is a recent one from a major brand, and my bowling alley is a decently sized one in a major city that’s been around for years.
So the app feels incomplete but promising if the developers can get more data in available.Show lessHibbidyhai

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback. We would love if you could reach out to support@lanetalk.com so that we can get more data on the ball that you are missing and the center that you would like to add. Most centers can be connected to the LaneTalk platform. By connecting the center, you can enjoy automatic score submission and great stats and insights. Ask your center to visit: https://lanetalk.com/centers/ and sign-up for a free center account. Once your center is online, it will be visible in the list of connected centers and it will be easy to add your scores to your profile. You can use the Manual Scorekeeping feature to track your scores while you wait for your center to get connected. It gives you the same great stats and insights!

I really love this app but my home bowling center is not listed in available houses. How does a center get added? I tried to, manually, enter Hilltop Lanes in Waxahchie, TX but that option isn’t possible. I’m thinking it might have something to do with the center’s scoring system. I have to drive 40 miles in any direction to find a center that utilizes the features of this really cool app. That’s too far!!Show lessJamesWann

I’m a slightly above average bowler in my own opinion, and this app and it’s stats have helped me understand my own game, but I have a few issues. I understand the app is relatively new, but the amount of issues I’ve had with scoring and games not appearing has gotten a little out of hand, and as for the other features, I completely understand that the creators need money to keep the app up, but I feel so limited as to what I can see, and while it can help me with my immediate game but I need to know what I’ve done further back in time without needing to pay money. I feel like only being able to see the past 6 games is an issue, as a person that bowls 6-8 games at a time.Show lessMom2bgc

Thank you for using the app and your feedback.Still a lot of bugs
I love this app and I love being able to track games and follow people- however, there are still a lot of bugs that make this app hard to use. It won’t keep up with active games, it drops connection while tracking your games so you lose the ability to go back and see your games. I need to make a list. It gets frustrating sometimes, but I use it every time I bowl and just roll with the bugs.Show lessPwsenior2003

Hi! We are glad to hear that you use it every time you bowl, but we are sorry to hear that you experience issues. Please reach out to our technical support at support@lanetalk.com so that we can see if there are areas that we might be able to solve. We strongly recommend to claim your scores when you have finished all your games. Select to add your games and select your center and player name. That will minimize the connectivity issues that you might experience. Please contact us to let us know if there are other areas that can be improved. Thanks!Good idea, poorly executed. DO NOT PAY
First, I noticed an error in the rankings for top 3-game series in the center I bowled 846 in. It shows my high set as 744, which was a couple weeks ago. I reported the error to support.
Secondly, the poor customer support was baffling. I explained the error and was told just to wait because it updates several times a day (several days went by already before I reported). I attached some screenshots of the issue and there has been zero response for several days.
I’ve asked for a refund for the yearlong service I paid for that can’t even get the most basic thing right. Still….no responseShow lessravishingrobbie

Hi Robbie, The new Center Ranking feature was released a couple of weeks ago during low season, now when the season is back, there are more bowlers using it and we get more feedback. You are the first user who has experienced this bug and as we have informed, we are working to solve that specific issue. Other than that one high scores in one of the top lists in the new Center Ranking feature is missing, there are many features that works really well. Please continue to provide us with details when you find new (or old) features that has issues and our team is happy to hunt it down and solve it. Thank you for helping us to make the app better! 🌟Man
I loved the app when I first got it. Paid for the subscription. Now I can hardly get it to connect to take/keep scores. I deleted the app and reinstalled it to see if that would fix it. Was told my old password wasn’t right and got a link to reset it. Now it says invalid link when I try to reset it. Now I can’t login at all It started off great and now it’s extremely buggy. I’m not getting what I paid for anymore
Update: my experience has gotten much better since my first review. I will bump it up because I do love the app. I was frustrated with the functionality for a few months but the problems I have seem to have been worked on. I appreciate the workShow lessNdukwe87453
