Good app has even more potential
Response from developer
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!
Useful, but Tired of Subscriptions
Response from developer
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.

First time to use
Response from developer
Thanks! We're trying to make the setup process as streamlined as possible.
The best app for bowling by far
A Breakthrough
Response from developer
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!
Great
Response from developer
Thanks!
Already Great
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.
Response from developer
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!
Doesn’t detect lane
Response from developer
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.
Rev rate seems off
Response from developer
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.
Trash
Hard alignment and it’s touchy
Response from developer
Hey, sorry the alignment’s been touchy; that usually happens when the phone is slightly out of position or the tripod isn’t completely stable. If you hit “Contact Support” in the app, I can help dial it in.
Awesome
Real data
Response from developer
Thanks!
Game Changer
Response from developer
Thanks! And we’ve got even more coming soon. 🤐
Never works
Response from developer
I’m sorry to hear about the frustration. If you send us a message directly through the app, we can work with you to get a refund processed and also help troubleshoot the lane detection so it runs smoothly for you. We want to make sure you have the experience you were expecting.
Works great!
Response from developer
Thanks! It means a lot to us that you consider it a must-have app. If you ever have ideas for new features or improvements, feel free to reach out in the app, we’d love to hear from you!

Good Start
UI: the lane graph, while close to a true ratio of width to length needs to be wider to be useful for seeing you ball motion. I suggest removing one of the 2 columns of stats, and moving stats related to boards, such as launch board, arrows, break point and entry as labeled dots along the graph.
Modes: I recommend a ‘team’ mode or similar where you can track others when practicing or in league, so they can join in the fun of seeing their stats, without adding to MY stats.
Also, shots should be removable for obvious misreads by the app.
Scoring? Not sure if this beyond what the tech can do, but why not track scores too?
Response from developer
Really appreciate you taking the time to write all this out, and awesome to hear you’re liking LaneTrax so far and finding the stats useful! On the lane graph, that’s a solid suggestion. If you send it in through the in-app chat, we can log it on our end. For deleting shots, you can already do that by pressing and holding the info bar above the numbers during a session. And the “team mode” you mentioned is pretty much exactly what we’re building into our upcoming Coach Tier, which will let you track other bowlers without it mixing into your own stats. As for scoring, as much as I wish, that will never be a feature in the app. The way the camera is setup can’t tell the difference between sleeper pins like the 4 and 8, so it wouldn’t be reliable.
