great way to digitally track your progress
Going downhill. so they charge continuing users $50 a year for this app. the stats are good thus 2stars. the arsenal feature doesn't allow layouts. My real Real bone of contention is that the add games feature only allows paid users the ability to go back a month to claim games. this feature used to allow paid users to go back more than one month. I don't know what happened but this app is not worth the money if I can't claim games further back than one month .
Awesome!!!
Developer response
Thank you, Tina! We love hearing that — really appreciate the 5 stars and your support! 🎳
cant do anything in the app unless you pay for a subscription even though it says theres a free option
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback, Giovanny. New users start with a free trial to explore the full app. The trial can be cancelled at any time with no charge, and you can then continue using the free version. The free experience focuses on following scores and other bowlers, while Pro unlocks tracking and deeper insights.
Used to love it. This update was the worst thing they could've done. Locked everything behind a paywall. Used to be able to add games, see your average, etc and now you can't do literally anything unless you fork over money. Money hungry developers I guess. Won't ever use the app again now unfortunately.
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback, Trevor. We understand this change can feel frustrating, especially if you’ve been using the app for a long time. The change was made to sustainably maintain and improve the platform over time. There is still a free experience to follow other bowlers, while Pro is for those who want full tracking and deeper insights.
the app is great I think here could be one slight adjustment to make this app one of the best and that would to be able to see you speed your carry your entry and your breakpoint
Developer response
Thanks for the great review and suggestion! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app. Tracking things like speed, entry point, and breakpoint is something that would be possible with additional hardware like sensors or cameras. It’s not part of our current roadmap, but we really appreciate the idea and feedback.
I like the app because I can analyze my stats
Developer response
Thanks for the great review! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying analyzing your stats — that’s exactly what LaneTalk is built for. Appreciate your support! 🎳
Everything in this app is behind a paywall. I'm just gonna use pen and paper. would not recommend to a bowler starting on a budget.
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback, Zach. We understand the experience can feel limited without a subscription. We still offer a free option to follow scores and other bowlers, while Pro is designed for those who want to track their own games and get deeper insights.
Since I start with this app. I wasn't mindful of the importance in spares or taken the count on splits. Also my average has improved.
Developer response
Thanks for the great review, Sharrine! It’s awesome to hear the app has helped you focus more on spares and splits — and even improve your average. That’s exactly what we aim for. Keep up the great bowling! 🎳
Good
Developer response
Thanks for the review, Jim! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the app. Really appreciate the support! 🎳
Great app to keep track of your progress. Only critique is at need much better tracking during league nights on the app.
Developer response
We are thrilled to hear that you like the app. We are working hard to improve the app every week so please reach out to us if you have ideas on how it can be improved. Thanks!
Was a pro subscriber and enjoyed the app. Unfortunately with the removal of features from the free version and the subscription price increase, the number of bowlers using it at my local alley dropped significantly. Making the more fun features of following and competing with others limited and not worth continuing my subscription.
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback, Glenn. We understand how important the social aspect is, and how the experience depends on others around you using the app. Our goal with these changes is to keep the platform sustainable long-term while continuing to grow the network. We appreciate the time you've spent with LaneTalk and hope to welcome you back soon.
It is no longer free. Was a good app to use in general at the alley. Especially to see how you improve. Now you get access to no interface other than a button to start a subscription.
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback. Existing users can still continue using the free version. New users start with a free trial to explore the full app, but it can be cancelled anytime during the trial with no charge, and you can continue using the free version afterward.
Can't add your own game scores for free anymore, moved the feature behind a pay wall.
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback. Tracking and saving your own games is now part of Pro, as it relies on infrastructure with ongoing costs to maintain. Free users can still follow scores and other bowlers in participating centers.
Horrible. I stopped using it for a bit and when I came back, I could only use it if I paid for it. not worth it any more, and it completely ruined the app. Bowling isn't cheap, and doing stuff like this will drive people away from the sport. Disappointing.
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback, Nathan. We understand the frustration, especially coming back to the app after some time. The change allows us to maintain and continue improving the platform long-term. There's still a free experience to follow scores, while Pro is for those who want full tracking and deeper insights.
Love the app, but it needs to be in more bowling centers!! Otherwise it would be 5 stars.
Developer response
Thanks for the review, Patrick! We totally agree - the more centers that connect, the better the experience gets. We don't charge centers for the integration, and we're always working to grow the network. Appreciate the support!
I Love this app. I can keep track of my progress. Also, I can connect with other bowled.
Developer response
Thanks for the great review, Kevin! We're glad to hear you're using LaneTalk to track your progress and connect with other bowlers. Really appreciate the support!
I love the app and how it helps keep tabs of scores and soforth, also pretty cool how it gives tips and compares scores.
Developer response
Thanks for the awesome review, Joey! Great to hear you’re enjoying the score tracking, comparisons, and tips — that’s exactly what we aim to deliver. Really appreciate the support! 🎳
Love it
Developer response
Thanks, Laura! So glad to hear you love the app. Really appreciate the 5 stars and your support! 🎳
Great App and easy to use.
Developer response
Thank you for the great review! We’re glad to hear you find the app easy to use. Really appreciate the support! 🎳
Highly disappointed that live tracking is not available unless you go with Pro version. And definitely can't believe you have to pay for manual scoring- sad!
Developer response
Hi Susan, thanks for your updated feedback. We understand this change can feel disappointing. Live tracking and manual scoring are part of Pro as they rely on infrastructure with ongoing costs to maintain and operate. Free users can still follow scores in participating centers. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Great Data and like the short videos.
Developer response
Thanks for the great review, Greg! Glad to hear you’re enjoying both the data and the short videos — great to know they’re adding value. Really appreciate the support! 🎳
Great for tracking scores for you and family and friends. Wish you were able to input line being thrown.
Developer response
Thanks for the great review, Michael! We’re glad to hear you’re using the app to track scores with family and friends. Being able to input the line being thrown is an interesting idea — we’ve shared your feedback with our product team. In the meantime, you can use tags to keep track of this if you’d like.
love this app!!! its the best bowling app on the planet. Seriously! Its a must have to improve and track your progress.
Developer response
Wow — thank you, Doc! That really means a lot to us. We’re thrilled to hear you see it as a must-have for improving and tracking your progress. Thanks for the amazing support! 🎳
what a joke! used to be a great app now you put everything behind pay wall? what a scam. would not recommend to anyone
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback, Katie. We understand this change can be frustrating. Our goal is to keep improving and maintaining the platform long-term, and that requires a sustainable model. We still offer a free option to follow bowlers, while Pro unlocks tracking and deeper insights.
Use to like it until you had to pay for using it then which sucks if your on a budget and can't afford it every month so had to leave it. Loved the app when it was free and able to keep your stats. If it ever got to point where it was free again I definitely will come back to this app it was awesome for stats.
Developer response
Thanks for your kind words, Keith. It really means a lot to hear how much you enjoyed the app. We completely understand that a subscription isn't for everyone. We made this change to be able to keep improving and maintaining the service long-term, but we truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back in the future.
horrible update where you have to pay to do anything.
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback, Kyle. We understand the experience can feel more limited without a subscription. The change was made to sustainably maintain and improve the app over time. We still offer a free option to follow bowlers, while Pro unlocks tracking and deeper insights.
overall a great app. great stat tracking and a lot of information that can be processed. 2 issues. the interface is a little tricky to navigate. if you accidentally exit the app while bowling, you will lose all entered frames which is annoying in 3rd game of a series. the other issue is if you bowl more than 1 series in a day, the app adds up all games instead of 3. example if you bowl city tournament dbls and singles, it will give you a 6 game total instead of separating the 2.
Developer response
Thanks for the detailed feedback, Kyle. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. We've passed your input on to our product team. As a tip, if you're able to claim already played games from a LaneTalk-integrated center, not using the manual method, series will automatically be grouped correctly.
everything is now locked behind a subscription paywall. At least leave the manual scoring open to users for free
Developer response
Thanks for the feedback, Autumn. We understand the experience feels more limited without a subscription. Manual scoring are part of Pro as it rely on the same infrastructure as our automated tracking, with ongoing costs to maintain. We’ve shared your feedback with our product team as we continue improving the app.
Works well love it wish all lanes would fet it so it scored automatically our lanes says it dont work
Developer response
Thank you very much Randy! Love to hear that it works well and that you like to use it, thank you for telling us and others!
Tried to set up an account, but it forces you to try the free trial, which I have absolutely zero interest in, and without signing up for the trial, you can't even move forward through the app. complete and utter waste of time.
I can't even access the app without dedication to a subscription level.
Latest update fixed the problems with the free version!
don't like that there is no longer a free version of the app but enjoy it for the most part
Developer response
Thanks for the review, Josh! We understand that the change isn’t ideal for everyone. Tracking and claiming your games now require Pro so we can sustainably maintain and improve the platform. That said, we’re really glad to hear you’re still enjoying the app overall.
Love this app! As a first season league bowler I find it absolutely useful when it comes to keeping track of my scores and it helps me to see where my games need improvement. Plus I can stay updated on my team and see where we sit as a team! I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking to improve their game!
Developer response
Thank you for the great review, Zachary! We’re really glad to hear LaneTalk is helping you track your scores and follow your team during your first league season. If your home center isn’t using LaneTalk Leagues yet, feel free to point them to lanetalk.com/leagues — it adds live standings and even more detailed league stats.
Lane talk is the best bowling app for league bowlers. It offers many tools and lots of information about your games.
Developer response
Thank you for the great review, Richard! We're really glad to hear LaneTalk is helping with your league bowling and that you're finding the tools and insights useful. Thanks for being part of the LaneTalk community!
Can't do anything unless you pay.
Developer response
Thanks for the feedback, Brandon. Tracking and saving your own games are part of Pro as they rely on infrastructure that has ongoing costs to maintain. Free users can still follow scores and other bowlers in participating centers.
I have to pay to track open bowling scores now? No thanks.
Developer response
Thanks for the feedback. Tracking and saving your own games is now part of Pro, as these features rely on infrastructure that has ongoing costs to maintain. Free users can still follow scores and other bowlers.
Nice approach to track your bowling and take notes as you bowling. Wish it had additional features to compare and download notes and things.
Developer response
Thanks for the feedback, Bryant! Glad to hear you like the approach to tracking games and taking notes. The ability to compare and export notes is an interesting idea — we’ve shared your suggestion with our product team as we continue improving the app.
awesome
Developer response
Thanks for the awesome feedback, Ryan! We really appreciate the 5 stars and are glad you’re enjoying the app. 🎳
wish they'd kept it free - but I have the paid version and it works. Wishing more centers in my area participated tho
Developer response
Thanks for the review, Robyn! Glad to hear Pro is working well for you. We’d love to see more centers in your area join LaneTalk — and LaneTalk itself doesn’t charge centers for the integration. The more venues that connect, the better the experience becomes for everyone.
I use android version and I hate that it constantly goes back to the beginning of the list of bowlers after viewing someones stats. I have to scroll down the list of bowlers to find where I was before.
Developer response
Thanks for the feedback, Bryan. We understand how that can be frustrating when browsing through a long list of bowlers. We’ve shared this with our product team so they can look into improving the navigation and returning to the same position in the list after viewing a profile.
good app to track progress
Developer response
Thank you for the great review! We’re glad to hear LaneTalk is helping you track your progress. That’s exactly what it’s all about — seeing improvement over time. Appreciate you being part of the community!
was good on release then shoved every aspect behind a pay wall
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback, Kyle. We understand that the experience feels different compared to earlier versions. To sustainably maintain automatic tracking, stats and integrations, tracking your own games are now part of Pro. Free users can still follow scores and other bowlers. We appreciate you having used the app.
So, my previous review was about the update, now, its about the app, this app is a MUST HAVE for bowlers. And I like how you can track bowlers' scores and bowlers who are just open bowling, including non-bowlers. I really love this app!!!👌👌
Developer response
Thank you so much for the kind words, Connor! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the app and making the most of tracking both league and open bowling. Knowing it’s a “must have” for bowlers truly means a lot to us. Thanks for your support! 🎳
At the moment, you're unable to access any of the features without signing up for the pro free trial. When signing up, it won't let you progress to just track your scores without doing so.
Developer response
Thanks for your feedback. Pro is required to track your own scores. New users start with a free trial to explore the app’s full functionality. After the trial, you can choose to continue with Pro or use the free version to follow other bowlers. We understand this setup isn’t for everyone, but it allows us to sustainably maintain the service.
Love the app. A 5 when it's working, a 1 right now...so that makes it a 3?🙃. Apparently, the most recent update has a bug on the Android version. The app opens but will not let me enter scores. Cache cleared, logged out and back in. Still doesn't work. Phone closes app due to the bug and displays a message saying that's what it did and why. Paying for nothing right now... 2/23 update...all is now well. Back to 5-stars!
Developer response
Hi Tom, we’re sorry about this. We released a follow-up update during the weekend that addresses Android crash issues affecting score entry. Please make sure you’re on the latest version. If it’s still not working, contact [email protected] and we’ll look into it.
Best stat tracker on the market!
Developer response
Thank you, Steve! That means a lot to us. Really appreciate the 5 stars and the support!
I absolutely love this app. Very informative and helpful
Developer response
Thank you, J.D.! We’re thrilled to hear you’re finding the app informative and helpful. That’s exactly what we strive for. Really appreciate the 5 stars and the support!
used to love this app before they put everything behind a pay wall. if you are forced to pay for basic functionality, there are better apps available
Developer response
Hi Rachel, we understand it feels different compared to how the app worked before. Over time we’ve focused on making Pro the core experience so we can sustainably maintain and improve the platform. We know subscriptions aren’t for everyone, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective.
