### 3/5 — Great app for candlepin, but...

*2025-11-15*

Everything works fine except for two things one line thing and one kind of major thing, you can't add splits, but the real problem is that the 10th frame is not correct, the problem with that is that you have to get all 10 down within two shots in order to get the third ball which is acting like a 10th frame and 10 pin bowling not candlepin bowling so please fix that (if you could maybe add pin areas (pinpointing which pins you left and which ones you knocked down) and those other two that would be really helpful but the most important thing that needs to be fixed is the 10th frame acting like a 10 pin 10th frame, if those were fixed, I would give it five stars
