MaxScore 300 is an easy and fun way to capture your bowling scores and share them with others. The main scoreboard is intuitive and you can get started playing a game quickly. Your potential best score for the current game is always visible and updated after every shot. After you achieve that best score, you can immediately save it and/or share it with others through Messaging or Email. The Score History lists the saved scores along with the date and location (or a notation of your choosing). The scoreboard image of the saved game can be accessed by tapping on the game entry row in the history listing. Multi-game mode allows you to play 6 different game styles independent of the bowling lane's automatic scorekeeper and pin setter. Animation and sound adds to the fun as you score strikes during the game or roll a blooper.
