### 4/5 — Nice upgrades, 1issue for 4 stars

*2026-07-26*

Love the new features , however the matchup/predictions feature is flawed. If you have a 5 man roster for a four man team the prediction calculation accounts for all 5 members not the first four

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this issue. We will have our developers look into it.

### 2/5 — New Banner (mobile app)

*2026-07-09*

Not a fan of the new banner at bottom of mobile app … needless use of prime screen space and haven’t found way to turn off or minimize

**Developer response:** If you click on the line at the very top of the navigational banner, it will hide itself.

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2025-09-26*

Seems sketchy. Even as a paid subscriber the email to pay is very full of ads. Unfortunately it’s the app my house uses. Seems outdated and not very user friendly.

### 2/5 — membership only

*2025-09-13, version 5.6.0*

kinda dumb that you have to pay for a membership to use the app when you don’t have to when on the internet

### 4/5 — App changed

*2025-05-01*

My app was working fine & suddenly I was signed out of app.  When I was able to get signed back in, it had my information but said my subscription was expired.  Checked my subscription & I paid for a year beginning in October 2024.  Tried to locate an email or way to contact someone but could not.

Update:  support got back to me & sent me my password & user name to log in.  I already had that & had been logged in but my subscription said expired.  They told me if I had a subscription I needed to send them my receipt for it — which I did.  Thankfully, that was simple to find in my apple subscriptions.  I did find it odd that I had to prove my subscription though.  My app is now back up & working & I am happy with it.

**Developer response:** Please reach out to us at support@leaguesecretary.com

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-04-29, version 5.4.5*

Nothing at all works on this app, including signing in and password resets.

### 1/5 — Used to be decent

*2025-04-27*

I guess the app updated and logged me out. Wont allow me to log back in. Request password change and receive nothing. Wound up paying for the app in August because the avalanche of ads to navigate anything was ludicrous. Hopefully they fix it soon before summer leagues start.

**Developer response:** Please reach out to us at support@leaguesecretary.com so we may assist you better.

### 5/5 — The Update has bugs

*2025-04-27*

OK, I'm glad we have Bowling League Secretary app back up and was updated. Can you please fix the Bowler's names and averages looks like it only will allow 51 names from any league to show Bowl's name and average under Bowler management thank you.

**Developer response:** We are aware of this issue and should have it resolved this week with an upcoming update.

### 2/5 — Horrible

*2025-04-27*

I’ve been using this app for years and now all of a sudden it logged me out and now I have to become a member to log back in when I know other people aren’t and they can still use the app

**Developer response:** Please reach out to us at support@leaguesecretary.com so that we may assist you.

### 2/5 — Update failure

*2025-04-25*

Apparently, there was a new update and now there’s only a login option. There’s no longer a free option on my app downloaded app again to confirm there is no way to set up a login

**Developer response:** Please reach out to us at support@leaguesecretary.com so that we may assist you further.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Done

*2025-10-16*

I subscription expired and now it won’t let me back in.  I follow the emails and nothing works for logging back in and paying for the app.  Usually the app just renews out of my Apple Pay but not this time and I’m done trying to figure it out

### 1/5 — Can’t use the app if they won’t let you 🤷🏻‍♂️

*2025-09-25*

Can’t register for new account, tried at least 7-8 tries before giving up on this app. Just repeatedly sends you back to the login page. Tried using the website, same results. Absolutely useless

**Developer response:** Please reach out to us for assistance at support@leaguesecretary.com

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2025-09-23, version 5.6.0*

Not paying that much to view 2 leagues. Way too expensive. If I was a pro I understand, but for an average weekly bowler no way. When is was free great but 155.00. That’s why I am giving it a 1 star. It was great when is was free..

### 1/5 — Not free??

*2025-05-23, version 5.6.0*

Should have left the app free.

### 1/5 — Red Lines

*2025-05-09, version 5.5.6*

How am I seeing red lines that hides some of the information?

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-05-09*

The app does maybe a fraction and I mean a fraction of what the League Secretary website does.  I just don't understand why the app can't run as many reports as the web version. I mean the data is already there it's simply just a function of adding an interface or button that asks the app to run a report that is already compiled. It shows zero effort on the developers end.

### 1/5 — Garbage app!!!!

*2025-05-08*

I paid to have a membership for bowling leagues! And now it says I don’t have a freaking membership when I try to get signed into this janky developed app.

**Developer response:** Please reach out to us at support@leaguesecretary.com so that we may assist you better.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-05-07*

When the app works it’s awesome. But it’s crashed and signed me out and won’t allow to sign back in more than I can use

### 1/5 — Bobsherba

*2025-05-02, version 5.5.1*

Wont let me sign in!  My email address keeps repeating “wrong format”.  Cannot reset.  Keeps kicking me out!  Worst app ive ever seen. Give it up!

### 1/5 — What a bummer…

*2025-04-29*

Before the last update, it was a nice and convenient to check on league standings but now it wants me to log in to do what I’ve been doing for a while now… unfortunate bummer and will not be using the app

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Stay up

*2026-08-28*

Big Pimpin

### 5/5 — Love the features/matchup feature fixed

*2026-07-31*

Updated my review to 5 stars , LS got right on a minor issue with the matchup feature and corrected the issue, Bravo!

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this issue. We will have our developers look into it.

EDIT: Version 6.2.1 has some adjustments made to the Predictions.

Thank you for the updated review!

### 5/5 — Data analysis

*2026-07-29*

Gives me options for in depth data analysis that I don’t have the time to do for myself. I love having the game by game information to create the best approach for a win

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and the 5 Stars!

### 5/5 — League Secretary Rocks

*2026-07-29*

Love all the statistics

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Great update

*2026-07-28*

App looks great with the new update.. Normal and dark mode is great

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the 5 Star rating!

### 5/5 — Update to program

*2026-07-28*

I am really enjoying the program updates, especially the analytics features that you’ve added us as well as the prediction mode and comparison. Awesome improvements!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review!

### 5/5 — So much better than the last version

*2026-07-26*

They have really spent time and effort making the layout and data super simple to access and they offer excellent details and telemetry.  I was never able to get LaneTalk to work in my house to track real time results but this really meets my needs on tracking the outcomes of my games and our team.  It also helps me research other players on other teams that we will be rolling against so I can see if they are trending up or down in prior weeks.   

They have even added a prediction AI agent.  We shall see how close to reality its guesses are and now I can show my team to get them to aspire to be better ;-).   Well done 

The new layout and details is a welcome update to the prior static limited info version.  

Very much worth the subscription fee, at least for me.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the detailed review. And the 5 stars!

### 5/5 — THE App for Leagues

*2026-07-01*

All my leagues are managed via this app.   While the interface may be a bit dated, everything you need is here.  The web interface provides added functionality as well. Customer service has always been very responsive.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review!

### 5/5 — Glad to Have it

*2025-05-16*

Great app, glad to have it. Wish more leagues were signed up to do it. Sure it’s not perfect, but you’ll be happy you downloaded.

### 5/5 — AS & PRO

*2025-05-16*

AS & PRO still showing on recaps and schedule. I paid for no ads & ever since then these pages have it all across them. I could see everything when it was free just had to put up with ads. Already contacted support and get the run around to contact someone else. Please FIX it

**Developer response:** Please reach out to us at support@leaguesecretary.com regarding this issue.
