## What is PinTracker?

Track every frame, every spare, every strike.

PinTracker is the bowling score keeper built for bowlers who care about their game. Tap pins as they fall, see your score update in real time, and review detailed stats after every session.

SCORE WITH PRECISION
Use the visual pin layout to mark exactly which pins are standing after each throw. PinTracker calculates strikes, spares, and splits automatically — no math required.

MULTI-BOWLER GAMES
Bowl with friends? Add multiple bowlers to a single game. Each player gets their own scorecard, and PinTracker tracks who’s winning frame by frame.

STATS THAT MATTER
See your average, high game, strike percentage, spare percentage, and clean game rate. The spare conversion heatmap shows which pins give you trouble — so you know what to practice.

TRENDS OVER TIME
Watch your score trend, strike and spare rates, and per-frame averages evolve across games. Charts make it easy to spot improvement.

LEAGUES & TOURNAMENTS
Organize games by league or tournament. Track your league average separately and see how you perform under pressure.

WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITY
Add home screen widgets to see your stats at a glance. During a game, the Dynamic Island and lock screen show live scores — so your bowling buddies can follow along.

APPLE WATCH
Check your stats and follow live games right from your wrist.

CLOUD SYNC
Your games sync across all your devices with iCloud. Score on your iPhone, review on your iPad.

Free to use for scoring. Upgrade to Pro for advanced stats, widgets, Live Activity, Watch app, leagues, and ball tracking.

### 5/5 — Much improved

*2026-06-22*

UPDATE:  figured out to get it to work on my watch. Makes a huge difference since I don’t bowl with my phone on me. Works perfectly for what I was looking for. 

Still can’t get it to work on my watch. But all suggestions I had were made and this is much more intuitive. Can keep track of my games now without much issue.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We heard you. 

In Version 3 (coming soon), you can now tap the pins you knocked down — exactly how you described it. 

We also added an Undo button, fixed the scoring bugs, and redesigned the Apple Watch experience. 

We'd love for you to give it another try when v3 drops and update your review if it earns it. Your feedback genuinely helped make the app better.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-23*

Great app that allows me to easily track my scores from my Apple Watch! No more fiddling with my phone, so I can focus on my game or my friends. Later on, I can evaluate my games from my phone or iPad. Thanks for this great app!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot that means a lot to me, I really appreciate It. don't hesitate to suggest new features that may help you in your games.

### 2/5 — It’s okay

*2026-03-20*

I seen this posted on Reddit and decided to try it out. The pin tracking is a little weird and you don’t have the ability to go back to a previous frame if you misclick. Honestly could just be better all together.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We listened to every suggestion and built the best version of PinTracker yet and It’s coming in new version 3.0 You will love it.

What's new:
- Tap Knocked / Tap Standing — choose how you mark pins, switch anytime mid-game

- Watch layout redesigned — fits all screen sizes perfectly
- Scoring bug fixes and improved accuracy

### 1/5 — Not intuitive

*2026-03-18*

Entering the second ball makes no sense on this app. Should be able to just tap what went down. It doesn’t even score correctly. A 19 for the 1st frame without bowling a second frame?  I could design something better than this in an afternoon. Totally disappointed in this app. Seems easy enough on the surface.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We heard you. 

In Version 3 (coming soon), you can now tap the pins you knocked down — exactly how you described it. 

We also added an Undo button, fixed the scoring bugs, and redesigned the Apple Watch experience. 

We'd love for you to give it another try when v3 drops and update your review if it earns it. Your feedback genuinely helped make the app better.
