「Bowling Ark(ボウリングアーク)」は、スコアの記録、マイボールの管理、成績の分析、投球の計測をまとめて行えるボウリングアプリです。 【スコアとメモを記録】 スコアやフレームごとの投球を記録し、その日のコンディションや気づきをメモに残せます。グラフ・推移・数値で成績を振り返れます。 【マイアーセナルとボールバッグ】 ボールカタログからマイボールを登録。写真、スペック、メモ、メンテナンス履歴などをまとめて管理できます。大会や練習で使うボールはバッグにまとめ、構成を確認できます。 【投球を測るツール】 投球動画から平均球速を計測し、写真・動画を使って回転軸・チルトを測定できます。計測結果は履歴に保存し、選択したボールに紐付けて振り返れます。計測値は撮影条件や指定位置によって変わる参考値です。 【クラウド同期とCSV】 無料のアカウント登録で、対応するボール・スコア等のデータをクラウドに保存・同期できます。ボール情報、メジャーシート、スコア、投球・残りピン情報はCSVで書き出せます。 【Pro機能を期間限定で無料開放中】 通常はPro対象となる以下の機能を、現在は期間限定で無料開放しています。2.3では購入操作は表示されず、申し込みなしで利用できます。 ・ボール登録数が無制限 ・期間・イベント・場所の条件を組み合わせた比較分析 ・同じ条件で複数ボールの実績を比較 ・メジャーシートPDF出力 無料公開期間の終了や将来の有料プランについては、内容と開始時期を事前にお知らせします。無料公開期間中に登録したスコアやボールなどのデータは引き続き確認できます。 すでにサブスクリプションを契約中の場合は、App Storeのサブスクリプション設定で更新状況を確認・変更できます。購入の復元は、購入時と同じApple Accountで行えます。 利用規約・プライバシーポリシー: https://cyan-globe-420.notion.site/2c2f66c9a4ac800cac6adf3f4e77f22d Apple標準使用許諾契約(EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Bowldyna Studio

Bowling, from feel to physics. Bowldyna Studio measures your throws from video and puts those numbers straight into a physics simulation — what actually happened, and what would happen if you changed something. Record a throw and the app measures ball speed, rev rate, axis rotation and the path down the lane. Once enough throws are in, it estimates the oil on that lane and proposes, for each throw, where to stand and where to aim. "Why did that miss the pocket?" "Why does the same line hook differently from one game to the next?" "How much does rev rate — or the oil pattern — really change the path?" Bowldyna Studio turns differences you can only feel into a path, a number, and a mechanism you can look at. THROW ANALYSIS - Analyze a recorded video, or run the camera live - Automatic ball speed, rev rate, axis rotation, axis tilt, release board and launch angle - Breakpoint, pocket position, entry angle, pins contacted and pins fallen - Calibration is four points traced onto the lane edges - A clean lane picture is built automatically, with people and the ball averaged out, so the points land on the lane edge - Within a session, the next recording starts from the four points you already set - One visit is one session: throws accumulate instead of scattering - Export the analysis as CSV - Everything runs on the device. No video is uploaded anywhere LANE OIL ESTIMATE (Pro) - Works out where the oil was depleted and where it was carried down, from your own throws - Heatmap of the estimated oil change - The gap between simulation and measurement, before and after the estimated oil is applied, in boards - The confidence of the estimate, and how much of the lane it accounted for - After an estimate, every throw gets a strike course drawn over its measured path — changing only where you stand and where you aim - Hand the measured lane straight to the simulator SIMULATION - Ball speed, rev rate and rotation direction - Release board, launch angle, axis rotation and axis tilt - House ball / my ball - Ball library for keeping several balls - Coverstock, surface, RG, differential, core, PAP and layout - House, flat, short, long and custom lanes - Lane library for custom lanes - Oil pattern visualization - Breakdown and carrydown, overlaid - Continuous skid, hook and roll - Ball path, pocket position and entry angle - Ball-to-pin and pin-to-pin collisions - Full lane view and pin deck view - 3D View (Beta) for pin action - Strike / spare route search (Beta) - Edit standing pins and target pins - Save and load throw conditions and profiles - 12 languages FREE Throw analysis from recorded video and from the camera, the core throw settings, path simulation, the house and flat lane presets, and the result readouts. Strike / spare route search (Beta) is free for now as well. BOWLDYNA PRO A single in-app purchase permanently unlocks the lane oil estimate, detailed ball specifications, PAP and layout, custom lanes, breakdown and carrydown, pin physics, 3D View (Beta) and the other advanced controls. There is no subscription. The current version shows no ads. RECORDING TIPS Put the phone on a tripod or something else that will not move, and frame the whole lane from the foul line to the pins. 60 fps is recommended; 30 fps costs rotation accuracy. A ball with visible patterns or logos measures far better than a plain dark one. PLEASE NOTE Bowldyna Studio does not guarantee any particular result or any improvement in your score. Measurements and estimates alike carry error from the lane surface, from oil that keeps changing, from the condition of the ball, from your release, and from how the video was shot. The confidence shown by the strike / spare route search describes how stable a line is inside the current simulation model. It is not a promise that the line will strike on a real lane. Treat what this app measures and simulates as a way to study your throws and understand the physics of bowling.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bowling Ark at none against Bowldyna Studio's 1. Bowldyna Studio's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
