Shot Bowl

Great App.
One Major Problem.
In Australia players are not allowed to take mobile phone onto the green in active mode.
If they do they risk disqualification.

Perfect

This is a great app. So much easier to use than bits of string. My only request is to ask if you can make it possible to save the images used to determine the closest bowl. Maybe build in an expiry date/days.
Thanks again Nick (UK).

Great bowls app

Works brilliantly and is very accurate.
No problems with centring the cursor over the jack and then it’s dead easy. Love it.

Don’t buy this

App does not access the camera so it is useless

Don’t Bother

Does not work. Don’t waste your money. It can’t access the camera or even ask permission to access it.
