## Description

PinPal is a bowling scorekeeping application designed to provide bowlers with detailed statistics to help improve their average.

PinPal keeps track of both leagues, tournaments, and open bowling, allowing bowlers to view their average and other statistics in many different ways.

PinPal puts tons of useful stats right at your fingertips.  Ever wondered what your average would be if you picked up all your single pin spares?  Ever wondered what spares you leave the most, and how often you are able to pick it up?  Well now you can find out!

Scores can be entered either by selecting all the pins you knocked down or entering the scores you get for each ball.  Also, if you don't want to take the time to enter each frame, you can just enter the final score for the game.

The lite version of PinPal is completely functional and can keep statistics for:
* One league, with four weeks of games.
* Five open bowling games.

Any questions, comments, concerns, complaints, compliments, suggestions, or feedback of any other sort can be directed at PinPalApp@gmail.com, or to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PinPalBowling.

## Review summary

PinPal Lite is praised for deep stats, analytics, and practice coaching, with an easy-to-use UI. However, reviews regularly lament price, lite-version limits, feature gating, reliability issues, and onboarding/UX quirks. Overall, it’s valued for data-driven bowling coaching, but cost, updates, and day-to-day usability remain common concerns.

### Pros

- Rich statistics and analytics for bowling (tracks games, series, frames, spares, etc.)
- Easy-to-use UI with intuitive navigation after a short learning curve
- Helps improve practice and performance (identifies spares to practice, tracks tendencies)
- Responsive customer support
- Perceived value when priced attractively (some users feel it’s worth the price)

### Cons

- High price / perceived value concerns; $8.99 for the full version is often cited as expensive
- Lite version has serious limitations / crippleware (limited games, no league access)
- Features gated behind the full version; users must upgrade to log more games or use league features
- Reliability and bugs reported (crashes, stalls, getting stuck) and occasional OS compatibility questions
- UX/UI onboarding and clarity issues (confusing screens, lack of back button, learning curve)
