ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bowling Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bowling Puzzle has 137 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Trick Shot Bowling's written reviews are positive against 54% of Bowling Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Trick Shot Bowling ships an update every 3 months, Bowling Puzzle every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
