### 4/5 — Good app has even more potential

*2026-08-02*

I like being able to track the information, but I wish there was a few improvements. A notes section so you can keep track of things you saw as you practice. And a way to not during practice you made an adjustment, feet position or hand or aim point. Just note that they are different. And then most importantly a way to export the data to excel to I can dig and find more insights

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We’re planning to add notes for sessions and shots, and also a new targeting system. CSV data exports are also on our roadmap!

### 2/5 — Useful, but Tired of Subscriptions

*2026-07-11*

A useful practice aid but there needs to be a one time purchase option. Stats are fairly accurate with a stable tripod but the numbers don’t always align with the video replay. The replay has been the most useful part of this, allowing me to quickly review my shot. Such a cool app and the dev has been making a lot of improvements. However, I am just sick and tired of everything being a subscription. I see no good reason why this couldn’t be a one time purchase with fully local data storage. I don’t need or want my sessions to be stored on a cloud server. Got some use out of it for a few months but I’m out unless the payment model changes.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! The subscription helps us support continued development and keep improving LaneTrax. We understand the frustration and appreciate you giving the app a try.

### 5/5 — 日本語翻訳欲しい

*2026-07-02*

よろしくお願いします

**Developer response:** 現在、日本語対応を進めています。今月末までには公開予定です！

### 5/5 — First time to use

*2026-06-27*

It’s a little hard to set up, but once I got it set up, it seemed to record all my shots accurately

**Developer response:** Thanks! We're trying to make the setup process as streamlined as possible.

### 5/5 — The best app for bowling by far

*2026-06-24, version 2.0.0*

Amazing!!!

### 5/5 — A Breakthrough

*2026-06-11*

Good app overall, I have seen and learned on what to improve with my bowling and where to throw with my current arsenal of bowling balls.

**Developer response:** Thanks! And soon, LaneTrax will be able to track what ball you're throwing, so yo'll be able to make data driven decisions based on each of your balls!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-31*

This is a great app very helpful must have

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 4/5 — Already Great

*2026-04-18*

The app is great. As someone who has bowled for a short while casually and is now starting to take it more seriously, the fact that I can be provided some actual numerical stats along side video is extremely useful. Being able to look at my good shots as a baseline and to then see the difference in a shot that I *thought* was good but didn't quite do what I expected has helped me improve quite a bit in the few times I've already used it.

Gave 4/5 stars because I have 2 suggestions that would make this app absolutely incredible. First is that the lane detection can be finicky and doesn't try to automatically re-detect the lane. My tripod wasn't tall enough to sit on the ground so I had it on the table and the waiter placing a water on the table caused it to shake just enough that it lost the lane and I missed a few shots (including one where the 5 pin somehow hit the 8 then spun onto where the 4 was without falling). The phone slightly shaking and losing the lane by itself is fine, but when i selected the lane finder the lane was still perfectly within the view and i just had to press the button again. It would be great if there was an option we could enable where it would automatically try to find the lane again if possible.

The other suggestion would be if we could have the app record constantly when having it track every shot and we could have a button to save the last minute or so of footage in case the shot wasn't tracked. There were a few times when that happened to me, either because I lined up all the way to the gutter to get a ton of hook or because I was slightly off balance on release and stepped to the side and blocked the shot for a second. Being able to see as much of those shots as possible from a video would still be helpful even if it doesn't show stats for the throw.

**Developer response:** Thanks! Glad LaneTrax’s been useful for you.

Also, v2 is coming soon and it automatically zooms into the lane and corrects small misalignments on its own, so this should help a lot with the tracking issues you mentioned!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t detect lane

*2026-02-04*

Watched your setup video, app does not work as advertised. Multiple angles and tripod locations were attempted without success.   At least I now have a tripod. App needs some work

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry the app wasn't reading your lane. If you tap "Contact Support" in the app, I’ll be able to look through the data from the session to help you get it sorted out.

### 4/5 — Rev rate seems off

*2026-01-05*

Not sure when the camera starts to track rev rate. But, I feel it needs to happen earlier in the release. I have a feeling it’s doing it down lane closer to 30’ so by that time the ball is already starting to slow down. I’ve used SPECTO many times and plan to run this and SPECTO at the same time just to see.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for leaving a review. Rev rate is still very much a work in progress, but we currently measure it during the first one second of the shot. Depending on your ball speed, that can correspond to roughly the first 20–50% of the ball’s travel downlane.

If you want a baseline to validate accuracy, the best approach is to review your camera feed frame-by-frame and count rotations over a known time window. Specto doesn’t directly measure rev rate; it estimates it using an equation based on other tracked metrics like hook boards.
