Your own bowling score book. The one the alley never gives you. The house screens score the whole team, then throw your night away. StrikeBook keeps just your games: every frame, your real average, and every league night, in a score book that's actually yours. Free frame-by-frame scoring, forever. No ads. No account. No subscription. SCORE EVERY FRAME, CORRECTLY • A fast pin pad. Tap the count, the strike, the spare. The sheet fills itself. • Real ten-pin rules, tenth frame and bonus balls handled exactly like the center's screen. • Tap any frame to fix a mistype. Score multiple games a night. • In a hurry? Type just the final score and move on. YOUR REAL AVERAGE, WEEK BY WEEK • Average, high game, high series, strike % and spare %: honest, real-rules numbers. • A trend line that shows your average actually moving. EVERY NIGHT, KEPT • Each night is a record: date, house, league, series, and a photo, if you want one. • Your history scrolls like an album, not a spreadsheet. SHARE THE NIGHT • One tap turns a night into a clean card: scores, series, date, straight into the group chat. GO DEEPER WITH PRO (one-time, no subscription) • Spare conversion by pin leave: the single-pin and 10-pin numbers you argue about. • First-ball average, open-frame %, clean-game count, per-house splits. • Unlimited leagues, unlimited photos per night, and CSV export of every game. StrikeBook is a personal score book, not a group scorekeeper and not a league-secretary tool. Your data lives on your device. Buy Pro once and it's yours. Family Sharing included. Score tonight's games free. Watch your book fill up.
