An iPhone and iPad app scores candlepin games ball by ball, saves scorecards, and lets bowlers share alley-branded results.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-01 issue.

For: Candlepin bowlers, league-night groups, and local alley staff
Worth noticing: Location verification records where a game was played; the page says that is separate from staff approval of a score.

Field notes

The scoring flow covers individual ball entry, running totals, strikes, spares, the candlepin tenth, and undo. Bowlers can save games or add a finished score from paper or an alley system. The page separates location verification from staff approval, and labels the 200+ online clubhouse and several analysis features as in development rather than current capabilities.
