Not worth the money. ### 3/5 — Very nice but.... *2015-08-23, version 4.2* The free version doesn't seem to let play league, only open bowling. ### 4/5 — Overpriced *2015-01-08* I love the app I just feel it is overpriced ### 2/5 — Great app but just a Crippleware Demo *2014-10-29* The Lite version is crippleware, it can only be used for a couple of games then is useless. (You should be able to at least use it for one full league) Also there have been no updates for all most 2 years now to the Lite and Full versions. While it still works and is a great app. The developer appears to have abandoned it, so buyer beware. It a shame it's a good app and I was ready to buy it. But seeing it appears the developer abandoned it, I can't see paying $8.99 for a dated App that may quit working. ### 3/5 — Good app *2013-02-27* I like the app, a little annoying that you can only do four weeks on the free version and the paid version is not that cheap! Is a little expensive for someone who only wants it for week to week bowling for one league not multiple or for tournaments! Was more excited about it until I realized once it was my fifth week I couldn't use it so waste of my time for the first 4 weeks ### 4/5 — PLEASR LOWER COST *2013-01-24, version 4.1.2* If they lowered full price to like .99 i would definately buy. Its a great app to keep track of my bowling. ### 4/5 — Make it Cheaper! *2013-01-11, version 4.0.2* When I got this app, I was so excited to put in all my scores to be organized... Until... "You must have the full version to add 4 or more games (oh yeah, it's $9.00!). Make it Cheaper!!!!!! Please? ### 3/5 — Solid *2012-11-30* It's does as advertised. It would be a 5 star review if it were cheaper. I only bowl every week or two so paying 8.99 is steep. I didn't know it would lock me from adding additional league nights after only a few weeks. ### 4/5 — Question *2012-10-16, version 4.0.2* I love the app does exactly what I want but is there any app that has more that one bowler "team" ### 5/5 — Spend the money and get full version *2012-08-01* got the lite version liked it so much i got the full version and am very pleased. used it at Jr Gold turny and it worked perfectley.... showed my tendencies and i was able to correct this app WORKS. ### 5/5 — Pinpal *2012-05-26* Отличная программа для статистики игр. Глюкозы не замечено. ### 5/5 — Good and bad *2012-02-11* Love the app. But there is no warning that you only have a few weeks and then it stops. Want the full version but just doesn't seem worth 8.99. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2011-10-29, version 3.5* This app is great. You can track games, series, even record frame by frame leaves. Wish the full app wasn't $8.99 but I'd even pay for this free version. ### 5/5 — So far so good... *2011-06-24* This "lite" version of the app does as advertised. I have 4 bowling scoring apps and this is by far the best UI. $8.99 is a bit much. But I am an avid league bowler. If the other apps disappoint, I may at some point spend the money. If the full version were $4.99, I'd already have bought it. For now, the "lite" version of this app coupled with the other scoring apps I use (some free), I'm okay. If it were ethical, I'd deduct one star on price alone. ### 5/5 — User friendly *2011-04-24* I wish i can give 6 stars its so easy to keep track of your scores, high games, most strikes in a row, spare pick up % only thing i can say is amazing! ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2011-02-23, version 3.5* Friend showed me the full version. Would love to buy it. But with the current season half over. Not going to spend 8.99 on half season statistics. Would love to see it go on sale. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 🤢🤮😫 *2021-11-20* This is good you till you have to pay. After a while you have to pay. YOU HAVE TO PAY. PLEASE DON’T GET UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PLAY ### 1/5 — Limited use - forces expensive upgrade *2015-10-09, version 5.0* Works for a month then no more functioning. Forces you to buy $8.99 upgrade to continue to log scores. Really? ### 1/5 — Ipad version!!! *2012-12-28, version 4.0.2* Please make ipad app ### 1/5 — Help *2011-02-09* Ya un bug ou quoi ?? Rien ne se produit pour inscrire les scores. ! ### 1/5 — Needs fixing *2011-02-02, version 3.5* I downloaded the lite version and could not figure out how to even enter in pin counts. I also clicked on stats for leagues and the app is now stuck due to idiotic programming and forgetting to put in a back button. There is no way in heck that I would buy the full version after this. TEST YOUR PRODUCT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT THE APP! ### 1/5 — One week functionality?! *2010-12-01, version 0* This app was nice for a once-a-week bowler like me, but now it's limited to a one week of league functionality?! The app is now essentially useless fir me, and $8.99 is outrageously expensive unless you're an extremely hardcore bowler. ### 1/5 — 저기이거어케하는거임? *2010-02-18* 망할방법늘모르겟삼;;;;;; ### 1/5 — pin pal lite *2009-09-29* Hard to find out what to do,glad this is free,dont like it. ### 1/5 — Ódio *2009-09-17* Péssimo nem acretito já deletei façam o mesmo ### 1/5 — Não é um jogo de boliche *2009-09-14* Assim como muitas pessoas por aqui, também pensei que fosse um jogo de boliche, mas trata-se de um aplicativo para anotação do PLACAR para quem joga boliche, ou seja, se você não estiver em uma pista, ele não servirá para nada. Baixei e já deletei. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Personal Solid bowling games / stat app *2025-01-02* Personal Solid bowling games / stat app ### 5/5 — Great overall app *2019-11-18* I used this for about 2 weeks and it helps so much.
