## Description

Best Bowling is a popular tool to manage bowling scores on the go. It captures event details, players, frames, pin states, and notes with easy input during play. Visualize performance with trends and distributions, and analyze patterns later.

Key features include an event list with sorting, search and filters, input history, shareable score sheet images, multi-bowler support, iCloud sync, and the new current frame scoring method. Data portability tips are provided for device-only storage versus iCloud, ensuring you can continue from LT versions if applicable.

## Review summary

Users value Best Bowling for easy data entry, multi-bowler/league support, and strong statistics to track progress. However, recurring issues include scoring inaccuracies, syncing/stability problems, and limited in-app guidance. Some users also face a 100-event cap and licensing/data-migration frustrations when upgrading versions. No-tap scoring is a frequently requested feature. Overall, the app has solid functionality but reliability and onboarding need attention.

### Pros

- Easy to use data entry and quick score input
- Ability to manage multiple bowlers/leagues/days and track family performance
- Comprehensive statistics and progress insights across global and league levels
- Useful for monitoring progress over time and identifying areas to improve

### Cons

- Inaccurate or unreliable scorekeeping / scoring errors
- Frequent syncing and stability problems (iCloud syncing errors, app freezes, database unavailable, need to reinstall)
- Lack of in-app help or clear instructions for use
- Limit of 100 events shown per season (data visibility constraint)
- Upgrading/licensing issues and data migration problems between versions (paying again, cloud data not migrating)
