Neither of these options work. ### 2/5 — Coupons don't load *2024-09-22, version 2.4.1* I haven't seen coupons on the app for weeks on end. Great program if the coupons actually load. ### 3/5 — Great program POOR CUSTOMER RELATION *2023-09-06* This program has been wonderful to participate in. However, the company asks you to share with friends as a “referral” and be entered into drawings for prizes. They had ZERO drawings this year and have not been transparent about the lack of follow through. Despite multiple attempts at communication with the company there has been no response. I referred over 55 families to the program in hopes of maybe winning a fun prize to share with my kids. No such luck as there wasn’t even a chance at a drawing. The rest of the promo emails all make it to my inbox as well as the coupons. It was not lack of checking or lack of communication on my end. Great program for kids. Poor customer interaction and manipulation of customers for free advertisement. ### 2/5 — App doesn’t always work *2023-07-09, version 2.2.1* The app has been freezing up and doesn’t always work. Very frustrating. ### 2/5 — Login issues *2023-07-09, version 2.2.1* Both the app and the website aren’t allowing login to get my coupons. I even upgraded to the family pass so us parents can bowl. Starting to feel like a waste of time and money. ### 2/5 — Can’t log in *2022-09-15, version 2.0.1* The app worked great at the beginning of the summer; however now I can’t log in. When I log in it takes me to a blank white screen. ### 2/5 — Login issues *2022-07-12* Login issues haven’t been fixed as advertised. I and my parents still cannot login to use the app I paid for! Unless it is truly fixed in the next week, we will not purchase this app again ### 1/5 — Crashes. Will not open! *2022-05-03, version 1.0.3* App keeps crashing and won’t open. Needs to be updated. ### 2/5 — Not working 2022 *2022-04-27, version 1.0.3* I had used in 2021 no problems but tried to use for this year 2023, I can’t log in. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2022-04-09, version 1.0.3* This app used to work all the time and i love the program but as of the last week or so it has crashed when i open, quick black screen flashes and back to my home screen!! Please fix it ### 1/5 — App doesn’t allow you to log in *2021-06-30, version 1.0.3* Despite many attempts and password resets, the app simply doesn’t allow me to log in. No issues with the website. Love to give a higher rating, but since the app simply doesn’t work, I feel generous with a single star. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is awful *2026-07-18* For such a great idea for kids you would think the app would be very user friendly. News flash it isn’t. Make this app user friendly and maybe more ppl will want to use it. Shouldn’t be that hard to go back into your profile and add kids bc of a quick accident on the website ### 1/5 — App not functioning *2026-03-18, version 2.5.1* This app will not accept my email and password and gives an error saying they are wrong. They are not I can sign into the website just fine and I deleted it and re-downloaded the app to make sure it was OK no it’s not OK. It does not work. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-06-22* We’ve been doing kids bowl free for years. It used to be 2 free games a day. Now it’s only 30 minutes! You can’t even play one game in 30 minutes!!! Unfortunately, I’ve already paid for my husband and I to have the family pass. This will be our last year participating u less it goes back to free “games” instead of “minutes”. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-05-21, version 2.3.1* As stated many times.. the app doesn’t work. It will not allow you to log in. Online, I can login just fine. Seems like this has been an issue for years and they won’t fix it. ### 1/5 — 2 free games to 20 minutes? *2024-05-17, version 2.3.1* I’m sorry but it isn’t even worth the drive there or the cost of shoes… we signed up, but will be passing this year. ### 1/5 — App not working, no customer service *2022-07-23* App does not work. I log in and then just see a white screen. I’ve done everything in all various combinations I can think of; delete app, restart phone, make sure running latest update. Tried contacting their support and heard nothing. I have ended up just using the site to log into, it just takes longer. Otherwise being a member is great and gives us something to do with the kids in the summer without spending an arm and a leg. ### 1/5 — What app *2022-07-13, version 2.0.1* It doesn’t work at all. It’s just a white screen, I login and nothing!! If I could do zero stars I would ### 1/5 — Unable to login *2022-06-08, version 1.0.3* Gives login error. My password is correct ### 1/5 — 0 stars *2022-05-16, version 1.0.3* Error message not allowing app to open ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2022-05-06, version 1.0.3* I can get the app to open, but once I try to log in, it just tells me there's an error and to try again. Would love for this to be fixed before the "season"'starts. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bowling *2026-02-28, version 2.5.1* It’s good if you like wanna bowl 🥀 ### 5/5 — Happy *2025-07-25* Never knew this existed, the free bowling. We use the app the redeem our coupons and have zero issues. Also bought the season pass for my husband and I. Well worth it! ### 5/5 — Works okay? *2025-07-08* I haven’t had a problem since I downloaded and used the app in 2024 so those issues the other reviews mentioned have probably been resolved to date ### 5/5 — Great App for a Great Program *2024-07-20, version 2.4.0* The app is so much more convenient than printing the coupons out. Also we have been watching the lessons and they have really helped the kids. I love that we can track our scores as well which is really fun and motivating. I do wish the lessons were on your YouTube channel. ### 5/5 — I’m going through the first *2023-06-19* The app has been a little too slow to say ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-07-20* What an amazing program to give kids free games during the summer! The app is easy to use and I haven’t had any trouble the many times we went this summer. ### 5/5 — Kids bowling free *2022-06-10, version 1.0.3* Best app love this guy he’s a perfectly physically shaped guy and has a great heart. ### 5/5 — Works great *2022-03-09* It’s super easy to just open the app and get the coupon for the kids for the days you go. ### 5/5 — Great customer service experience *2020-08-04, version 1.0.3* Emailed the company and received a response addressing my concern. Thank you ### 5/5 — Good *2020-06-23, version 1.0.3* So excited for this app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
