Frames for Android

Warily Software

About this app

Now you can use the same scoring and statistics software that many PBA players use!

Frames is a very easy to use scoring and statistics program that was designed for all levels of bowlers, from beginners who are looking for ways to improve, to scratch players who bowl in lots of tournaments.

With Frames, you can:

* List your strike, pocket, carry, spare and single pin spare percentages, plus lots of other stats.

* Display your league, tournament, or overall average.

* Generate statistics by alley, lane number, bowling ball, league, tournament, oil pattern, date range, or any combination of these.

* Track your foot position and target for each frame you bowl, so you can check what adjustments worked (or didn't work) the last time you bowled on a specific pair of lanes or oil pattern.

* Display a list of the spares you leave most, and your conversion percentage for each of them.

* Keep score for an entire team of bowlers at the same time.

While you're keeping score with Frames, you enter the results of each shot graphically, using your device's touch-screen to knock down the pins on the screen to match the real thing. It literally takes only a second or two to score each frame while you're bowling!

For each strike shot, you can also keep track of your position on the approach, your target on the lane, the ball you used, and whether your shot hit the pocket.

You can also visit our web site at www.warilysoftware.com for the following free extras:

* A free demo version of Frames is available. The demo version is the same exact program that is available for purchase here in the Android Market, but it limited to six games per bowler (up to 30 total games for five bowlers).

* The free Frames Exporter program runs on your Windows or Apple desktop computer to view and print your games or statistics, or export your game data to a spreadsheet to do your own custom analysis.

* The Frames Users Guide, available as a PDF on our web site, contains detailed information on running Frames and installing and running the Exporter program.

Frames is the original mobile score keeper for bowlers, originally released in 2003 for Palm OS and Windows Pocket PC handhelds.

Ratings and reviews

I like the interface. Once I learned how to record and review my bowling efforts, everything was good. I have one huge problem. It was not made obvious tome that this was a monthly fee to use the app. Nothing in the EULA mentioned a monthly fee. Nor did any of the screens that I saw say this either. I am not happy to learn that it will cost me almost $84 a year to use it..Not one bit!!!

As a long time satisfied user of Frames. I liked the App. Now however Samsung has upgraded my S9 to android version 9 the App is totally useless. The buttons are GONE! The app can't be used with the menu's because there is no menu item for Finish when you end a set of games. You can only go back or abort which deletes the scores just bowled. I sent support an email but have yet to hear from them or get an update to fix the problem. Hope they fix it soon. ***** Thanks, for the fix Warily. It's back high on my list again. *****

After the update, it works perfectly! Able to input ball, lane conditions, mark on approach and alley, etc. Looks to be a great app. Cant wait to use it! Thank you for staying in touch and fixing the issue so quickly!
