## What is Shot Bowl?

ShotBowl is a fantastic measuring tool for Lawn Bowlers of every skill level.  It helps you accurately find the closest bowl to the Jack.

It’s incredibly easy.
1. When you’re level with the green, take a photo
2. Find the centre of the Jack with the magnifying glass
3. Expand the circle until it makes contact with a bowl - This is your shot bowl. If needed, you now can extend the circle to see if there are any more bowls in the count.

It’s ideal for those ends when two or more bowls are in close contention.

### 1/5 — Shot Bowl

*2024-05-05, version 1.1.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2023-08-17, version 1.1.2*

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).

### 5/5 — Great bowls app

*2022-06-30, version 1.1.2*

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

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this

*2019-02-23, version 1.1*

App does not access the camera so it is useless

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother

*2019-02-19, version 1.1*

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

### 1/5 — Just stopped working

*2019-02-06*

Was OK for close calls but then just stopped working.

### 1/5 — Shot bowl

*2019-01-26, version 1.1*

Doesn’t wiry I just get a black screen

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with latest iOS.

*2019-01-25*

Doesn’t work with latest iOS. Hasn’t been updated for four years. Save your money. It does work with my friend’s iPhone. To bad!

### 5/5 — Mr

*2018-10-14, version 1.1*

Great app.  Works well and simple to use. Does not replace standard measure for really close shots but a great improvemrnt on using fingers for appraisal and is often quite definite in determining situation in head.

### 3/5 — Gra

*2018-02-15, version 1.1*

I do like it, only two problems, you cannot zoom in, and when placing the cross in the centre of the jack then taking your finger away the cross moves, it’s only got too be off a fraction and you won’t get a true reading. Can you fix please.
