## Description

Hi, I’m The Bowling Buddy, a simple Chrome extension designed to track bowling scores with ease. It focuses on your scores rather than every pin or frame, offering a lightweight, quick-entry experience that keeps you in the game.

Key features include multiple bowlers and leagues, up to 12 games per series, handicap calculations, Blast-O-Gram statistics, improved autocomplete, social media sharing, and easy export of scores via email. You can rearrange bowlers and leagues, edit or delete old scores, and watch your averages update automatically as you go. This extension helps you stay organized with minimal effort and is perfect for individuals and leagues alike.

## Review summary

Bowling Buddy is praised for its simple, easy-to-use interface and effective tracking of scores, running averages, and progress across multiple leagues. Users like keeping league and tournament data without heavy setup or photo-scorekeeping. Common requests center on adding collaboration (sharing/viewing scores), team scoring, and fuller tournament support (multi-game consolidation, per-game frames and notes), plus modernization (device updates and cross-device syncing). Some users report crashes or that it stops working after purchase. Overall, it’s a solid basic score tracker with clear opportunities for feature enhancements.

### Pros

- Simple, easy-to-use UI and basic layout.
- Effectively tracks scores, running averages, and progress across multiple leagues.
- Useful for keeping league and tournament data without heavy setup or photos of scoreboards.

### Cons

- Stability issues: some users report crashes or that the app doesn't work after purchase.
- Lacks collaboration features and team scoring: no invitations or shared view of scores; no single-league aggregation of bowlers.
- Incomplete tournament support and data entry: can't consolidate multi-game tournaments into one list; no per-game frame scoring or per-game notes.
- Not updated for newer devices and form factors: requests for iPhone X/full-screen support and cross-device syncing.
