1. Darts & Snooker Scoreboard

Best for: casual bowling nights with friends, plus other pub and game-night scoring.

You enter the pins down on each roll, and strikes, spares and bonus frames are worked out for you. It scores ten-pin, 9-pin no-tap, duckpin, candlepin and Baker for up to 8 players on one phone, offline and without an account, with undo and a saved game history.

The same app also scores darts, snooker, dominoes, Five Dice and Word Tiles, with player profiles, a leaderboard and stats across games. The free tier covers every game with one game start a week, and Pro removes the limit.

It is a general scorer, not a league manager. If you want filtered averages over a season, use a stat tracker from below. More detail: dartsscoreboard.app/for/bowling. iPhone and iPad only: Darts & Snooker Scoreboard on the App Store.

2. Bosc

Best for: bowlers who want averages, high scores and trends.

Bosc saves full frame details or quick scores, then shows your average, high score and performance trends. It also has a map to find bowling alleys. Android and iPhone versions both exist.

3. BowlingScore - Easy Record

Best for: free, local scoring with a calendar view.

Scores live on your device with no sign-up, and the calendar shows daily and monthly records. You can record friends and family too and share results as an image. It is free and ad-supported.

4. BowlSK

Best for: league and event bowlers who filter stats.

BowlSK organizes games by date and event type, so you can compare league nights against other events across any date range. It is an iPhone app; the filtering is the reason to pick it over a plain scorecard.

5. Lanetalk

Best for: bowlers at connected centers.

Lanetalk syncs scores automatically from participating centers and turns them into stats and live scores. It only helps where your center is connected, so check that before relying on it.

6. PinPal Lite

Best for: stat-minded iPhone bowlers.

PinPal tracks leagues, tournaments and open bowling and breaks down your average and spare conversions. It is older and stats-first, so it suits a regular more than a group night.

7. My Bowling Scoreboard

Best for: an offline frame tracker with a pin logbook.

The listing describes an offline frame score tracker with a pin logbook and league stats. Paid Pro and Ultra versions exist on iOS as separate listings.
