Bowly vs LayoutQ

Your scores deserve more than a forgotten photo of the screen. Bowly tracks every frame, every spare leave, every pin, then shows you exactly where to improve. Whether you're chasing your first 200 game or grinding through league night, this is the companion app that actually makes you a better bowler. TRACK YOUR WAY - Pin-by-pin input: tap the pins left standing, confirm, done. Under 5 seconds per frame. - Quick score mode: just punch in the numbers if you're in a rush. - Live Sync: connect to your lane at supported ComputerScore centres and scores update automatically. No typing. No distractions. COACHING THAT WATCHES YOUR GAME Real-time tips adapt to what's actually happening on the lanes. Left the 10 pin three times? Bowly notices before you do, and tells you what to adjust. Fatigue creeping in during Game 3? You'll know. On a streak? It'll tell you to stay in rhythm and change nothing. STATS THAT ACTUALLY HELP - Average trend over time: see the trajectory, not just tonight's number - Pin leave heatmap: a visual map of exactly which pins you leave most often - Spare conversion by leave type: find out if it's the 10 pin or the 3-6-10 that's costing you - Game-by-game breakdown: spot fatigue patterns across Game 1, 2, and 3 - Strike percentage, clean games, 200+ count, season milestones SESSION RECAPS YOU'LL ACTUALLY READ After every session: your three game scores, series total vs. season average, first ball breakdown, spare conversion rates, and a plain-English insight like "Your 10-pin conversion cost you 12 pins tonight." BUILT FOR THE ALLEY Dark theme. Big buttons. Works offline. Bowling alleys have terrible WiFi and dim lighting: Bowly is designed for exactly that. Haptic feedback on every pin tap, strike, and spare makes scoring feel satisfying, not like data entry. LIVE SYNC WITH COMPUTERSCORE At supported centres, connect to your lane and Bowly pulls your scores live as you bowl. No manual input needed. Just bowl, glance at your phone between frames, and get coached in real time. Currently available at 60+ centres across QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, WA, and TAS. Free to use. Your data stays on your device. No account required.

LayoutQ turns your numbers into decisions at the lane. Drilling layouts: Enter your PAP, ball speed, rev rate, and axis tilt and rotation. For any ball in the catalog, the app recommends a Dual Angle Layout, shown as drilling angle, pin-to-PAP, and pin buffer angle (VAL), with the reasoning behind each number. Adjust for an earlier or later break, a smoother or sharper shape, and more or less flare. Take the numbers to your pro shop. Your arsenal: Keep every ball you own with its drilled layout and current surface. See which of the six arsenal slots you cover and which you are missing. Track games since the last cleaning, resurface, and oil extraction, and get told when a pad is due. Set a ball to its factory finish with one tap. Link your pro shop: claim the record your shop made for you with a code, and every ball they drill lands in your arsenal with its layout. Ball catalog and recommendations: Browse more than 1,200 balls released since 2018 with core, coverstock, RG, differential, and factory surface. Get recommendations that fill the gaps in your bag, each with a suggested layout and starting surface. Live sessions: Pick a house shot or a Kegel sport pattern, log shots as you bowl, and get feet-and-target moves, ball-change suggestions, and surface advice as the lane transitions. Score games frame by frame. A fatigue flag watches your ball speed across games. Tracking: Mount your phone on a tripod, calibrate the lane with four taps, and record a shot to see the ball's real path in 3D. Optional knee-angle tracking watches your slide leg during a session. All camera processing happens on your phone; no video is uploaded. Privacy: No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your data lives in your account, and you can delete it from the app at any time.
