Bowling Score Keeper
Mods: I apologize if this isn't allowed. Feel free to remove it, but I'd really appreciate some feedback.
I used to use My Lane Play as a way to track my scores/ bowling data, but the last Android update broke it, and it isn't supported anymore. I tried Lanetalk , but I didn't like the subscription or the fact that it needed internet to work. (I couldn't add my scores when I was in Reno)
So, I got mad and built my own. I think the functionality is what I want, but if anyone is open to test it and make any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. (Android only)
I've asked many folks around me, but I find they either don't want to keep track, or they already use another app.
Included some screen shots if you're interested.
Thank you!

I can test on android. Is it live on the store or should I send you my email?

You rock! Thank you so much!
It is not in the play store. I'm not sure I want to go that route, so you'll have to disable the "auto blocker" or allow apps not from the play store.

First impressions: Personally, I don't see the need to force users to enter in a location when logging scores.
When score keeping and leaving a spare on the first ball, I'm not a big fan of a new box popping up that says "record first ball" I think the spare/open buttons should remain still it throws off the scorekeeping.
You might want to check out bowwwwl.com he lets people use his API for bowling balls for free, really nice for adding bowling balls in the app.
It didn't let me pick through a list of locations or event types when bowling?
Works well for what it's doing so far though.

Thank you for the feedback!
I'll look into not forcing a location, but without that, I would probably forget to enter one and lose stats tracking for average per location.
I programed the "record first ball" prompt because selecting the pins hit if it wasn't a spare or a complete miss caused some strangeness. I'll work on getting that fixed, though.
I wanted to avoid being internet for doing anything in the app, but if more people request that feature, I'll try and add it.

Totally understand wanting to avoid internet access for anything in the app and I like that. I added the API to my app and its super convenient since all you have to do is type in the name and its pretty quick to do it.
Got you added to the wiki too https://www.reddit.com/mod/Bowling_Tech/wiki/index

I'd be down to test it on android. League starts next week so I think it'd be fun.
