Bowling is more fun when someone's keeping score for you. Lanely Bowling tracks your game so you can focus on the important stuff, like celebrating that strike or recovering from that gutter ball. Now with Scorecard Scanner, you can snap a photo of a bowling scorecard and import full games in seconds. It’s easy to pick up, a little snarky, and way more fun than writing scores on a napkin. SCAN YOUR SCORECARDS The new Scorecard Scanner lets you take or upload photos of bowling scorecards and automatically turn them into saved games. Alley scoreboards, paper scorecards, Lanely Bowling reads the frames, calculates the scores, and imports them right into your history. No manual entry required. JUST START BOWLING Open the app, start a game, tap your pins. That's it. Lanely Bowling figures out the rest, spares, strikes, splits, all of it. No bowling degree required. LEAGUE NIGHT? NO PROBLEM Bowl a series of 2, 3, or 4 games and track them together. Set your handicap and Lanely Bowling factors it in automatically. Great for league play, or just settling a bet with friends. SEE HOW YOU DID After every game, get a fun breakdown of your score, strikes, spares, and how you did compared to your own average. You might surprise yourself. REAL-TIME GAME INSIGHT Three features that make Lanely Bowling more than just a scorekeeper. Lanely Forecast predicts your final score in real time so you know exactly where you stand. Pin Game shows whether your misses are actually hurting you, or if you're converting enough to stay in it. Momentum tracks whether you're ice cold, heating up, or fully locked in, frame by frame. HALFTIME REPORT Halfway through your game, Lanely Bowling checks in with some feedback. It's part pep talk, part roast. Mostly roast. ACHIEVEMENTS TO UNLOCK From your very first roll to a perfect 300, there are achievements to collect as you play, including a secret tier nobody's going to spoil for you. YOUR GAMES, SAVED FOREVER Every game lives in your history. Look back at individual scorecards, filter by date or score range, and spot patterns over time with Trends. Charts show your score history, strike and spare rates, and how your scores are distributed across all your games. YOUR DATA, YOUR BUSINESS Your scores live on your phone. iCloud backup keeps them safe across devices with no account and no login ever required. And if you want to take your data somewhere else, export everything to CSV anytime. No lock-in, no strings.
