Try out the most realistic bowling simulator! The gameplay physics are based on the throws done by real professional bowlers and are extremely close to the real game. The lanes are coated with oil to mimic real conditions. 3 game modes: * Single player * Play with friends (pass-n-play/hot seat) * Play vs computer Each mode has two difficulty levels: Easy mode – you can correct the ball's rotation after you've released the ball. Hard mode – it is not possible to adjust the ball after the throw. There are separate worldwide ratings for every difficulty mode. - Classic 10 pin bowling (10 frames) - Easy-to-manage interface and control - Hook the ball - Amazing Unreal Engine 4 graphics - Detailed track of statistics - Play vs computer mode (computer's skill level is adjustable) - Play vs friends on the same device (2-4 players). Each player can choose his own ball - Ball rotation can be corrected after release (in easy mode) - Independent worldwide ratings for every game mode - 21 bowling balls to choose from - Offline mode - 100% free game How to play: * Set the ball in the selected position * Slide your finger on the screen from the starting line towards the pins (the speed is not important, what matters are the touchpoint and the drop-out). The longer the distance is between the first contact and drop-out, the faster the ball goes. * In Easy mode it is possible to correct the ball's rotation by simply sliding left or right on the screen. Correction magnitude depends on how far the finger moves on screen. * You can also spin the ball. The speed and the rotation are controlled by the HOOK button.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bowling Sim at none against Galaxy Bowling HD's 10. Galaxy Bowling HD's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 445). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Galaxy Bowling HD sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Bowling Sim asks for nothing beyond the download.
Galaxy Bowling HD holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Galaxy Bowling HD has 2.5K ratings behind it against 445, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Galaxy Bowling HD's written reviews are positive against 80% of Bowling Sim'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 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
