### 5/5 — Great app for bowls measurements

*2026-05-12*

I’ve tried this on indoor and outdoor bowls.  It’s very accurate.  It would good if you could develop further to have no manual operation. Ie after capture it would automatically identify the jack which is always much smaller than the bowl and auto centre it. Then identify the bowls in the captured field and measure their distances from the jack.  You need to get it approved by world bowls or at least the individual country bowls associations.

### 4/5 — Bowls mesure

*2025-04-23*

Have not tried it on the green yet but quite impressed

### 5/5 — Simply the best!

*2025-04-21, version 1.5*

There is no doubt that this App is the best thing since sliced bread.  No more bending or kneeling, no more worries about moving the bowls. Just take the picture, set the jack and measure the bowls.  All while standing up and done in seconds. Thank you very much!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-04-21, version 1.5*

*2023-02-08*

Application excellente et précise, fini les litiges mesures sans toucher les boules .👍💕

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis - lui il nous touche beaucoup ! Bowlometer team

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2022-10-19*

Tried it and worked once than nothing but ads

**Developer response:** Advertising allows us to live (rather survive) ... so you want the opposite.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-13, version 1.1*

I found the app to be extremely helpful for measuring lawn bowls quickly and accurately. Particularly helpful for bowlers that find it hard to get down to measure or getting up after measuring. Settles any discussion very quickly. Well done

### 4/5 — Bowlometer

*2020-09-21, version 1.1*

Works okay but my camera is not suitable on bowls at a bit of length from the Jack especially if they are on opposite sides.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2020-09-11*

I only have the free version - works well and is accurate. Only works with bowls up to 4-5 ft from jack. In these Covid times very useful.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your rating and your review ! BOWLOMETER Team

BOWLOMETER Team.

This version is only for devices running iOS 14 : Authorization request management for allowing app tracking.
