PinPal is a bowling scorekeeping application designed to provide bowlers with detailed statistics to help improve their average. PinPal keeps track of both leagues, tournaments, and open bowling, allowing bowlers to view their average and other statistics in many different ways. PinPal puts tons of useful stats right at your fingertips. Ever wondered what your average would be if you picked up all your single pin spares? Ever wondered what spares you leave the most, and how often you are able to pick it up? Well now you can find out! Scores can be entered either by selecting all the pins you knocked down or entering the scores you get for each ball. Also, if you don't want to take the time to enter each frame, you can just enter the final score for the game. The lite version of PinPal is completely functional and can keep statistics for: * One league, with four weeks of games. * Five open bowling games. Any questions, comments, concerns, complaints, compliments, suggestions, or feedback of any other sort can be directed at PinPalApp@gmail.com, or to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PinPalBowling.
