The BowlSheet app
What kinds of games can I score?
Single-player games, team games, and Baker games — all pin by pin, ball for ball. Match play is supported too, so you can track your opponent’s score alongside your own. Splits and common leaves are detected automatically and labeled with their common names. See Features for the full list.
How does Baker scoring work in BowlSheet?
In a Baker game, bowlers 1 through 5 automatically own frames 1–5 and 6–10, and you can change the lineup before every team game. BowlSheet was the first iOS bowling app to support Baker scoring. More on Baker scoring.
Where do my stats live?
In the app, on your device. BowlSheet tracks first-ball average, strikes, spares, splits, split conversions, pocket hits (high/middle/low), open frames, pinfall, and series totals — and you can filter by bowler, ball, lanes, and more. See Stats & Analytics for details.
How do I export my stats to CSV?
CSV export is unlocked by the Analytics Export subscription ($29.99/year, auto-renewing, billed through Apple). With it active, you can export your stats as CSV files to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application. The file format is documented in CSV Docs.
How do I restore my purchase on a new device?
Your BowlSheet purchase and the Analytics Export subscription are both billed through Apple and tied to your Apple ID. Sign in to the App Store with the same Apple ID on the new device and download the app again — you won’t be charged twice. The subscription is managed (and canceled, if you want) through your Apple ID subscription settings, like any other App Store subscription.
Which devices does BowlSheet run on?
iPhone, iPad, Mac (Apple silicon), and Apple Vision Pro. It requires iOS 15.6 or later, or macOS 13 or later. There is no Android version of BowlSheet — Android is coming with BowlSheet Community.
Where is my data stored? Do I need an account?
No account. Your games, stats, equipment, and oil patterns are stored on your device. That means two things: your data is private by default, and backing up your device (iCloud or computer backup) backs up your BowlSheet data. If you’re moving to a new device, restore it from a backup of the old one and your data comes with it.
Does the app work at the bowling center without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Because everything is stored on-device, scoring and stats don’t need a connection at all.
BowlSheet Community
What is BowlSheet Community?
The next generation of BowlSheet — built for everyone who bowls, not just teams: league bowlers, weekend players, families, and full team programs. It’s free to score, runs on iPhone, Android, and Mac (web to follow), works offline-first with automatic cloud sync across devices, and adds a companion web dashboard for every account. Bowler Pro adds advanced statistics and arsenal tracking for individuals; Team adds the coach tools. Baker competition gets mid-game substitutions, rolloffs, and Baker role stats. Your BowlSheet CSV history comes forward.
It’s in closed beta with pilot teams right now. Learn more or get early access.
