Victory Bowling is a complete bowling score tracker built for serious bowlers who want to understand and improve their game. SCORE TRACKING Enter scores frame by frame with an intuitive pin-selection interface. Track strikes, spares, splits, and every leave. Support for standard 10-frame games, free-frame practice sessions, and score-only entry — just log a final score when you don't need full frame detail. DETAILED STATISTICS See your average, strike percentage, spare conversion rate, double rate, and more. Break down your performance by single pin, multi-pin, and split conversions. View your most common leaves and how often you convert each one. Strike string distribution optionally spans across games within a session, so back-to-back games count as one continuous string. TRENDS OVER TIME Chart your progress with interactive trend graphs. Track how your average, strike percentage, spare conversion, and other metrics change over time with adjustable smoothing. PERFORMANCE INSIGHTS Compare your performance across bowling centers, bowling balls, oil patterns, and lane pairs. Tap any insight category to see a full ranked list — every center, ball, pattern, or lane pair sorted by average, strike %, or spare %. Filter statistics by date, session type, pin type, and more. LANE NOTES Attach notes to specific lane pairs at each bowling center — carry tendencies, carrydown patterns, target adjustments. View and edit them mid-session right from the game screen. SESSION MANAGEMENT Organize games into sessions for league nights, tournaments, and practice. Save sessions as templates for quick reuse. Set defaults for your center, oil pattern, ball, and lanes. Share scorecard images with friends. TABLET & IPAD SUPPORT Full wide-screen layouts on tablets and iPads. The game entry screen automatically uses the split-view layout in portrait mode — no rotation required. FINANCIAL TRACKING (optional) Track entry fees, side action, prize winnings, and expenses per session. View net results, ROI, and top events in Statistics. All data stays on your device. BACKUP & RESTORE Export your complete history as a backup file. Optional iCloud or Google Drive sync keeps your data safe across devices. FEATURES - Frame-by-frame score entry with pin diagram - Score-only game entry for quick logging - Automatic score calculation - Strike, spare, and split tracking - Spare leave analysis with pin diagrams - Lane pair notes per bowling center - Session templates for fast setup - Performance trends and charts - Full ranked insights by center, ball, pattern, and lanes - Session filtering and comparison - Support for multiple bowling balls, centers, and oil patterns - League and tournament tracking - High game and high set records - Free-frame practice mode - Financial tracking with net results and ROI - Tablet and iPad optimized layouts - Scorecard sharing - Local backup and cloud sync - Dark theme designed for the bowling center All your data stays on your device.
