Good Question! Its not that other apps do not track lane patters and what not. They do.

For me, I find that tracking software is too much analytics and no real payoff. They are just lists of scores with not much meaning behind it. After a while, you forget why you've done a bad/good job. For me, when I make mistakes bowling, I just simply write down the note and store in my notepad on my cell. There I can write text notes for what's going on with myself.

Maybe a good solution for this frame of mind is to showcase users who have improved over time with your app. Of course, they would have to opt in for that, but that may sway someone like me to giving this software a go.

There's so much more in this space that you can do besides simple analytics.

I have a lot of ideas for this, but wouldn't want to bombard you with suggestions unless you're interested. I and am actually planning an web app and will start developing on it soon (have to finish another app first).

I will say that congratulation in gaining some traction on Reddit. Its hard to get the courage to list your project there, for the response can go either way. With you the best of luck with this.

Ah, ok. I understand what you mean. And I totally agree. Quite often I think about this very topic. How can I present the data in such a way that helps bowlers actually digest it and improve their game? It's definitely a tough thing to do. I would absolutely love to hear your ideas and suggestions!! Please, don't hold back. Bombard away! If you don't want to post them here, you can always send an email to support@bowlr.app and we can start a thread there.

Thanks for the complements! I hope we can keep up the conversation.

Yes, lets continue our thoughts through email. I'll send something for you this evening. My email is admin@vidcap.co.
