Pinpal App Reviews

I would love to see a way to track wins and losses in league.

I wish you could see your leaves for every frame all the time.... rather than having to go back to each frame to look...

I have been using the app for about 6 years. Easy to use, tons of data. Only problem I have is some weird or mislabeled categories. Entering average shows as 198, average 210 for the night, NEW average shows as 197 on the end of night page. How can I bowl over average and average goes down. I think the labels are reversed

Like the app, wish u can put your handicap in. App should give an option such as some league do 80/200 which would give ur handicap also in tournament play.

It be cool if this connected to the cloud and could be used to keep score of tournaments.

Great app. Wish that there was a way to put my starting average in at the beginning of the bowling season. Also, if there was a calculation in place so I could determine and track my handicap during the season, that would be awesome. Otherwise; it’s still a great app.

If you are a statistics nut like me, it breaks down every spare

This has been such a successful tool for helping me improve my game. I recommend it to everyone. The four people I have recommended this app to, this year, are enjoying it also.

Great app. Ease of entry is great. It does not get in the way of your bowling.

It’s nice to see the developer updating the app after a few year hiatus. I’ve been a proud owner of this app for over 9 years, and have used it in every league I’ve been in since 2014. The app is fantastic in what it does. I really like the addition of the “makeable spare” category. One thing this app is missing that other scoring apps have is the ability to record your feet and mark position. Then you can record where your ball went in relation to your mark. Being able to see the percentage of throws you missed your mark, and what you left as a result would be a great teaching/learning tool. Adding Apple Watch support to record your frames would also be a phenomenal addition.

Inexpensive answer to my dilemma: how often do I miss the 10 pin! Other numbers too. Great tool for the league bowler looking to improve.

If there was a way you could move tournaments and leagues around in the list this would be the perfect app.

Great easy to use app that keeps track of everything that I would like. Only reason I can’t give it a full 5 stars is because it lacks more customizable settings. (Rearranging leagues, ball names, etc. Default order is based on time when relevance or a manual order option would be fantastic!!) Hope to see something like that in the next update.

Love the app, but every time I get a new phone I lose all my saved games. The website address doesn’t work, the app support link doesn’t work.

I love this app. The only issue I have is, I wish it were visually stimulating.

This is s great app for any bowler. My only criticism is that it counts splits against your spare conversion percentage and that’s not correct. Splits aren’t suppose to be included in your spare conversion

I love this app for all my stats however when you get a new device, you lose all of your data! Super disappointed.

This is the best scorer. It has the pins to see what you left, easy to understand statistics, and it adds your score and keeps a running average for leagues, tournaments and even practice.

Such a smooth and easy to use app!! Thank you

Thanks for this app.... I use it in league and in practice. He only thing I’d like it to do that it does not is to also track where I start and what mark the ball rolls over. Otherwise I really like this app!

I’ve been using this app for many years to track my scores and it’s wonderful. However it’s so rarely updated that I get concerned about it going unmaintained. More updates would put me at ease, but I’ll keep using it until it doesn’t work anymore!

I love this app! I use it for all my leagues and tournaments. Only request I have is to add a 3-ball option when inserting frames so duckpin/candlepin bowlers can use this feature accurately

I love this app, I use it to track my practice as well as my games on my High School bowling team. I can find absolutely zero faults with it. Thanks for making it

Used another app for scores, excel for averages and paper score sheets for reference. This bad boy does it all. The price is perfect if you care about yourself and believe in supporting programmers who put a lot of thought and care into their work. Great job guys. Only addition would be to show the three games scores in written form for leagues for a nice snap shot.

I love having a record of how I am doing on my leagues. Easy to keep track and review the stats. I tell everyone I know about it

Great way to keep stats

We are so happy we found this app. It helps us share my son share his results with his grandfather and his coach...I love and use it all the time. We have introduced it to every family on his High School bowling team and they are all using it. We cannot wait for a team application. His coaches really would like to be able to keep the teams stats on one app. I recommend that if you love bowling and you want to see how you progress buy this app!

This is the third season for which I am using the app, and it has been seamless. My data transferred to my new iPhone, and I never needed to create a backup. If you're a stat person like me and like to see what you do well (how well you make corner pins, what you average with a particular ball, what you average in the 2nd game, for example), this is an app you'll find very useful.

This is a very nice looking but, incomplete. It's missing league average calculations. Yes it calculates your scratch average per game set but, not an overall league average per league or house. It's a great tool for practice sessions but, for leagues it needs work. Save your money and get iBowlStats instead.. Wasted my $8.99 😔

Best app ever. I have tried most out there.

I have had this app for years and still love it. It has helped me improve my games with the stats program. I have recommended this app to my friends and they have brought it and are loving it.

I like it

I've been using PinPal for 4 years and I love it. Even with its higher price tag, it's a good value. Developer has emailed back with responses within a day on both occasions. Would be nice to see a tablet version with team stats capabilities. $4.99 would give it 5 stars.

Really a perfect app. Easy to use and keeps great stats that really help you identify problems in your game.

This has always been the best app for game tracking. Would love to see a watch app for pinfall entry in the future.

It's worth the money! In a future update I'm hoping there's a way to look up scores via lane number. Other than that this app is great.

Have been bowling in leagues for a year now, and this app has been great. My whole history of inconsistency is there for me to see. Problem is, I now bowl in a league that bowls 4 games a night. There is no setting to change the league format in the app, so now I need to find a new app to let me keep track of scores regardless of the number of games per night.

Easy to use good way to keep up with what you are doing in league and tournaments

I have tried many score keeping apps, but this is the one that has stuck. Ease of use is where pinpal shines. I stick my phone in my back pocket, pull it out, record my score and put it back, all before my ball returns. I have recorded over 3500 games on pinpal and I love it. Don't let the ease of use fool you, pinpal is a powerful statistic machine. All of the relevant stats are right at you finger tips: strike %, spare %, leaves etc... . Pinpal is a valuable tool for your game.

Really enjoy the app but it would really be a better tool if it had a small note box to write things I need to work on, adjustments made, or just how I was feeling that day so I can understand that 130 game lol

This is the best app that I have ever used.

Great app to keep your scores and stats

I've had PinPal for a long time now, and it's still the best. Easy to use and more features. Others are either lacking or too expensive. Best bowling app for stats!

Enough said!

Perfect. Simple, easily to use and great support.

Pin Pal is a great way to have an idea where your game needs improvement.

Helps my game, by providing a way to focus on my opportunities to improve.

Very functional but needs updating. Author not very responsive to requests for improvement and the developer website noted in the App Store is not there anymore.

Everyone I recommend this to is so happy after they buy it What better testimony can you ask fort👍🎳😄

Great app for keeping stats for bowling. I have been using it every week for league play for the last 3 or 4 years.

This is a great app. I see so many people using it. Tracks your scores spare percentage and strike percentage.

Love the app. Performs as advertised. But it would be even better if you could share data between devices (e.g. Bowling data entered on an iphone transferred to the ipad i normally use so all of the score data is in the same place for stats). Also it would be great if bowling data for more than one person could be entered and saved.

Best app to have for bowling

This app is reasonably comprehensive in tracking your bowling. It supports leagues, open bowling, and tournaments, and produces a nice set of stats (or they would be nice if I could make 10 pins consistently). It has database fields for ball, bowling alley, league name, and oil pattern, allowing you to slice data in a number of ways. Generally easy to use and provides a wealth of data so it represents a good value in my opinion. The most glaring omission is that there is no way to track and produce statistics based on what lane or lanes you are bowling on. There is also no way to track ball speed, ball trajectory, or ball location (at either end of the lanes). Nor is there a means to identify what ball is used on a spare shot (in case you use more than one). It doesn't look like it would be practical for baker format games either. A final concern is that as of today (10/11/16) the link to the Developer and their website from the app store for support return an error (and have for a while), so while others claim that the developer is responsive, I'm not sure that is the case, and I don't know how to ask them to add lanes or other features into the product.

I found if I set up my 4-game league under TOURNAMENTS, it allows me to enter the score for the fourth game.

Simple, easy to use, and easy to input your pins. Strongly recommend this app!

I love this app. It keeps my overall avg, ball avg, alley avg. very good statistics. I never go bowling without it!

Great App and Jeff is very responsive to any problems. He fixed one I discovered in less than a day

I love this app, a lot if saber metrics and it's easy to use

Love the app. Easy to use and looking up stats for specific events is great! Wish there was a way to track a match play record as I do use this to bowl tournaments. Be nice to go back and look at wins and losses and scores of the match.

It does everything you could ask for I'd say. I like to see it sync with my other devices complete with stats like Dropbox does. I have to take a photo of the final score, save as a jpeg and put in Dropbox that way. But no stats.

Great App! Easy to use and gives you all the statistics you need! Well worth the $$$$!

Down loaded this app only got part of it, only thing I could put in is the league name and lanes names and nothing else. Don’t show pins

I have been using this app since 2009. I love seeing my stats for the year, and I especially love being able to compare year to year stats. It is really nice to go back and see high games, high series and how you improve (or sometimes get worse) at every shot. I enjoy bowling more because of this app, I honestly don’t know what I would do without it.

Used another app for scores, excel for averages and paper score sheets for reference. This bad boy does it all. The price is perfect if you care about yourself and believe in supporting programmers who put a lot of thought and care into their work. Great job guys.

This app has it all.. you’re able to track what ball you’re throwing, it separates leagues from tournaments, and gives stats for both individual nights and the entire season. Great tool for improvement!
