Includes access to https://bowlriq.web.app once you have an account for more advanced analytics. For more information visit https://bowlriq.web.app/marketing. SCORE TRACKING Log every frame with a tap. BowlrIQ's interactive pin diagram lets you record each shot exactly as it happened — strikes, spares, splits, and everything in between. Prefer to keep it simple? Use score-only mode to enter totals and move on. Either way, your scorecard is saved and shareable. DEEP STATISTICS Go beyond your average. BowlrIQ breaks down your game with stats that matter: strike rate, spare conversion, pocket hits, clean frames, carry percentage, and more — benchmarked against expected performance at your average level so you always know where your game stands. Trend charts and series graphs show your progress over time. LEAGUES & TOURNAMENTS Organize your competitive bowling in one place. Create leagues, track week-by-week results, and manage your handicap. Set up tournaments with bracket-style tracking and mark them active or complete. Your stats are always tied back to context — league, tournament, or practice. PRACTICE MODE Build your game deliberately. Practice mode lets you track sessions outside of competition, so improvement shows up in your stats without muddying your league record. BALL ARSENAL Keep your equipment organized. Add each ball with details like brand, weight, and core type, attach a photo, and log which ball you used in each game. Know exactly what's working on different conditions. LEADERBOARD & FRIENDS See how you stack up. BowlrIQ connects to a global leaderboard powered by your real game history — not self-reported scores. Add friends and filter the board by game count, game type, or average range. Your published stats update automatically as you bowl. ACHIEVEMENTS Earn badges as your game evolves — from posting your first 200 to stringing strikes in succession. Achievements are organized by category so you can see where you've earned and where there's still room to grow. CLOUD BACKUP & RESTORE Your data is yours. BowlrIQ backs up your complete bowling history to the cloud and lets you restore it on any device. Never lose a season of scores again. BowlrIQ is built for bowlers who take their game seriously. Download it and start bowling smarter.
