Track scores, stats, and leagues. Bowl smarter with BowlrIQ. BowlrIQ is the ultimate bowling companion for serious bowlers — whether you're competing in leagues, grinding tournaments, or hitting the lanes for practice. 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.

Bowling Tracker is the fastest way to log every game frame by frame, watch your average and strike percentage climb, and finally know if you are actually getting better. Whether you bowl a weekly league night, a casual family lane, or a serious practice session, your scores stop vanishing on a paper sheet and start building into a history that means something. Paper scoresheets and the alley monitor disappear the moment you walk out the door. A plain notes app has no scoring logic and no trend. Bowling Tracker keeps a correct frame-by-frame scorer, a stats engine that compounds with every game, and an AI Shot Coach that reads your real numbers and tells you the one thing to fix next. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Score every game frame by frame — tap the pins you knock down and the running total is computed live, strikes, spares, splits, and the tricky 10th-frame bonus all handled correctly • Log unlimited games — the core loop is always free, so your history never stops growing • Track your stats — average score, high game, strike percentage, spare percentage, and split-conversion percentage, all derived from real frame data instead of hand-entered totals • See your trend — a recent-games chart turns a pile of scores into a line you can actually read, so improvement (or a slump) jumps out • Group by league — create leagues and seasons, assign players, and keep every league night's games together • AI Shot Coach — feed the coach your actual aggregates and get a structured development plan: a headline read, concrete insights, a focus area, a drill to practice, and a target to chase • Vision Scorecard — snap a photo of the alley screen or a paper scoresheet and let it read the frames, then auto-fill the game for you • Keep it all offline — your games, leagues, and stats live on your device, personal and always available WHY BOWLING TRACKER • A real scoring engine — strikes, spares, splits, and the 10th-frame bonus are done right, so you never do the math by hand or trust a total that is wrong • Stats that compound — every logged game sharpens your average, high game, and strike and spare rates; the longer you track, the more the app is worth • Coaching on YOUR numbers — the Shot Coach reads your genuine strike percentage, spare percentage, and split conversion, not a generic tip wall • Snap-and-score — Vision Scorecard turns a photo of a physical sheet into a filled-in game, the biggest time-saver at the lanes • One home for every session — no scattered notes, no lost sheets, no spreadsheet on the kitchen table • Built for the weekly cadence — league night has a natural rhythm and the recent-games chart always wants one more bar WHO IT'S FOR • League bowlers who want their series, average, and handicap history in one place instead of on the secretary's clipboard • Casual and family bowlers who just want to keep score correctly and see if they are improving • Practice-minded players chasing a higher strike percentage and better spare conversion who want a coach's read on what to work on • Anyone who has lost a great game to a paper sheet and wants every future game remembered Free bowlers get unlimited game logging, the full frame-by-frame scorer, the complete stats dashboard, unlimited leagues, and a real taste of the premium tools. Pro unlocks unlimited AI Shot Coach development plans, unlimited Vision Scorecard photo scoring, and removes ads — the two things that turn a plain score log into actually getting better at the lanes. Your first game is the aha moment: finish it, watch the scorer compute the correct total including a bonus you would have added by hand, then see that score land as the first point on your trend. It did the math, and it is remembering this for you. Download Bowling Tracker and give every game the scorecard it deserves.
