## What is Five Pin Bowling Lite?

Five Pin Bowling Lite is a bowling score keeper, tracker and statistical reporting tool, that will reveal patterns within your game for scoring improvements leading to greater enjoyment on the lanes. The app is easy to use and only requires minimal set up before you're up and running.  

Note: This app is for five pin bowling only. If you're interested in ten pin, search for Spare Me in the App Store.

Score keeping is as simple as keying in first ball count and pins left on the deck. Once your game is completed, save score and then dig into the details. Enter as many bowlers, leagues and practice sessions as desired and track each independently or combined. With Five Pin Bowling Lite, only one bowler can be scored at a time. For multiple bowler scoring (teams), Baker Scoring and League Secretary, please check out the full version of Five Pin Bowling.
