Open popzbowling.com. On Android/Chrome, tap Install App. On iPhone/iPad, use Safari and choose Share → Add to Home Screen → Add. You can also use the app in the browser without installing it.
Open Settings and enter your bowler name. Your data stays on this device; no account is required.
Tap Bowl. Enter the date, league or practice name, bowling center, number of games, oil pattern, entering average, handicap settings, and an optional series name. If you leave the average blank, the app uses the running average already stored for that same league or Practice when available. The default handicap is 90% of 220; change it if your league uses something different.
For each game, enter the ball used and lane number(s). The Entering / Current Average remains editable while you bowl, so you can correct a missed or wrong average and the handicap updates immediately. Previously used names are remembered so you can select them again without worrying about capitalization.
Use the on-screen pin keypad after every shot. Strikes, spares, open frames, the 10th frame, scratch score, handicap, and handicap score are calculated automatically.
After a first ball that leaves pins standing, tap the pins that remain on the pin deck and choose Save Leave & Continue. This powers your single-pin, 10-pin, split, and leave-conversion statistics.
Use Undo for the most recent roll. To correct an older frame, tap that frame on the scoreboard, change the roll values, and save it. The score recalculates automatically.
Use New Game when the next game is ready. When the bowling session is over, tap Finish Series. The app first shows a This Series results screen for only the series you just completed; choose Continue to Overall Stats for cumulative stats, or open History.
The Stats screen shows average, high game, high series, strike/spare percentages, leave conversions, and performance breakdowns. Filter by league/practice, bowling center, lane, ball, or oil pattern.
Tap History to see saved series and frame-by-frame game details. Expand any completed series to enter or correct its Entering Average later; handicap and league running-average stats update immediately. Your history remains local to this browser or installed app.
Popz Bowling requests persistent browser storage and automatically downloads a JSON safety backup whenever you finish a series. Keep those backup files somewhere safe such as Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or another backup location. You can also use Export Backup anytime and Import JSON in Settings to restore.
On the device that has your bowling history, open Settings → Share / Transfer Backup. Choose Quick Share, AirDrop, Google Drive, email, Messages, or another sharing option. On the other device, install or open Popz Bowling Stats, then use Settings → Import JSON and select that backup file. Import merges histories instead of replacing them, so series already recorded on either device are kept; if the same series exists in both places, the newer copy wins.
When Popz Bowling detects a newer production version, an Update available notice appears. Stay online, fully close the app, and reopen it. The notice automatically disappears only after the running app confirms it matches the latest version. If it remains, open popzbowling.com in Chrome or Safari, refresh once, then reopen the installed app. Updates replace app files only and do not erase bowling history.
To report a problem or suggest an improvement, use Email Feedback; it sends to [email protected]. The app version and device information are included automatically.
Use this to confirm the installed app has the latest update.
The app requests persistent browser storage. Finished series also download a safety backup automatically so browser-data clearing is less likely to wipe the only copy.
Automatic backups are downloaded after Finish Series. You can also export another backup anytime and save it to Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or another safe place.
Share a complete backup from this phone or tablet using Quick Share, AirDrop, Google Drive, email, Messages, or another available sharing app. Then import that JSON file on the other device.
Merge a Popz Bowling Stats JSON backup into this device. Existing series stay here; missing series are added, and newer copies of the same series win.
