Verdict
Tricky Shot and Bowling Pro both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Bowling Pro's written reviews are positive against 36% of Tricky Shot's. Tricky Shot's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bowling Pro sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Tricky Shot asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tricky Shot holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 381 and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Tricky Shot's written reviews are positive against 76% of Bowling Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on July 30, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
