StrikeKeeper is a bowling score keeper and stats tracker for your own bowling — free, with no ads, no subscription and no paywall. Every feature below is free. MARK THE PINS THAT FELL Enter each roll on a pin diagram, or just tap the number when you're in a hurry. The diagram is what unlocks split and pin-leave stats, and you can switch between the two in the middle of a frame. The Score tab shows the highest score you can still reach. A SCORECARD THAT KEEPS UP Frame-by-frame scoring in proper bowling notation, updating as you throw. Strikes, spares and the tenth frame all handled. Entered one wrong? Tap the frame and fix it. SEE WHICH SPARES YOU MISS Split conversion (counted the USBC way), single-pin spares, 10-pin and 7-pin conversion, and the leaves you see most, each drawn as a little pin rack with your make rate. Plus the number that hurts: what your average would be if you'd made every single-pin spare. YOUR LEAGUE NIGHT Tag games League, Practice, Tournament or Open bowling, and see your league average on its own. Set your league's basis and percentage and StrikeKeeper works out your handicap. See how you bowl game 1, 2 and 3 of a night. BALL, LANES AND OIL Note the ball, lane pair and oil pattern for each game, and see your average and strike rate with each ball. BRING YOUR OLD GAMES Type in past scores, or import a spreadsheet — StrikeKeeper's own export, another app's, or your own (a Date and a Score column is enough). BOWL WITH FRIENDS Add friends with a friend code, and once you've both added each other, see each other's averages and recent games — and watch a friend's game live while they bowl. Sharing is off until you turn it on, and nobody can find you without your code. PERSONAL BESTS High game, high series, longest strike run, clean games, your first 200 — and a call-out on the spot when you beat one. FAMILY NIGHT Score up to six bowlers on one phone. Everyone gets their own game, and theirs never touch your average. SHARE AND EXPORT Send a picture of your scorecard to the group chat, or export every game to a spreadsheet. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL StrikeKeeper saves every roll on your phone first — including the game you're bowling — and keeps the screen on while you bowl. Dark mode follows your phone's setting. AN ACCOUNT IS OPTIONAL Everything works without signing in. An account adds a backup, so your history follows you to a new phone, and friends if you want them. You can delete it, and everything on our server with it, from inside the app. No ads, and no tracking across other apps. StrikeKeeper collects anonymous usage — how many games get finished, which screens get used (with every piece of text hidden), and when the app hits an error — so we know it works and can make it better. None of it is tied to you, and one switch on the Stats tab turns it all off.
