No. Bowly works entirely on your device with no sign-up required. Just download, open, and start tracking.

Tap "Start New Session" on the home screen, choose your input method (pin-by-pin, quick score, or Live Sync), select your venue, and start bowling.
Live Sync connects to your lane's scoring system at supported ComputerScore centres. Your scores update automatically as you bowl — no manual input needed.
Any bowling centre that uses ComputerScore with live scoring enabled. This includes 60+ centres across Australia. You can see supported centres in the app when starting a Live Sync session.
Make sure your lane's scoring system is active (you've started bowling). Try refreshing the lane list. If the centre's live scoring page is down, you won't see any lanes — this is on the centre's end, not Bowly's. You can always switch to manual input and keep tracking.
Yes. Tap any completed frame in the frame tracker to edit it. You can also use the undo button immediately after logging a ball.
Go to History, swipe left on the session you want to remove, and tap Delete. This cannot be undone.
Yes. All data is stored locally on your device. If you delete the app, your sessions, stats, and history are permanently removed. We recommend finishing any active sessions before uninstalling.
You can share individual session recaps as images. Full data export is on our roadmap.
Try closing and reopening the app. Make sure you're running the latest version from the App Store. If the issue persists, email us with your device model and iOS version and we'll investigate.
Bowling score calculation follows standard ten-pin rules, including strike and spare bonuses. If you spot an error, tap the frame to review the pin data. If something is genuinely wrong, email us with a screenshot and we'll look into it.
