This is awesome
I am so glad that this game has been made, and I’ve already purchased it. This reminds me of when I used to go on trips once a year with a lot a bunch of friends of mine we would go on the bowling trip and make a weekend out of it. Any plans to make an android version of this? If not, that’s OK. I mean after all I have it on my Apple device. I will share the game on mastodon and other social media provided that it’s OK with you because I think a lot of people would like this.
impressed
I've been waiting for a game like this for the iPhone! The scoring is accurate. The pin action is accurate. Play is intuitive. I went ahead and bought it. I've played one game using the straight setting. Final score was 170. This game WILL be recommended. Thank you VERY much!
Like it, but a little confusing
I've got the game, and I really like it so far. I have noticed though that it's a little confusing with voiceover regarding when each frame starts and ends, and how many frames there will be in the games. But other than that I really like the controls and how accessible it is.
Awesome! I want to check this out!
I used to be on a Blind bowling league & really enjoyed it.
This new game reminds me of that, based on the description alone.
I want to try this out, soon! :) 🎳
Cool game
I really like this game. So far, I can boast a high score of 169.
Harmonicaplayers opinion
i love the game and when i heard it uses gamecenter for scores among other things i got it :)
Love it!
As a bowling fan, I was dreaming of an iOS equivalent of the real thing that is fully accessible, and that dream has now come true! Apart from Blindfold Bowling (Who remembers that?) this is fantastic! Have shared my enthusiasm across social media, including Facebook and Threads as well as a few friends on Whatsapp. Just had my first game in quick play mode, and I scored a 82 with one strike! Thank you for this wonderful game; please keep up the great work!
Sounds like a fun game
I have not played this one yet, but it sounds a little like Blindfold Bowling, but maybe with better game mechanics?
beat me score
I've won the first 3 tournaments and have a high score of 201, although I made a mistake and missed an easy spare, darnit! I also like the fact that a Bluetooth keyboard can be used. This is fun, and, yes, I do remember Blindfold Bowling. On the PC I remember Tenpin Alley and the game that Phil Vlasak and Karl Mickla created back in either 1997 or 1998. As a botally blind bowler on a blind bowling league for over 30 years, this is without a doubt the best bowling game for blind people yet, certainly for the iPhone. I think it is the first game of it's kind for iDevices.
I miss bowling
Physical bowling that is. Sadly I deal with tendonitis in my right shoulder, and as I am right-handed, handling a bowling ball would be an exercise in pain and frustration. 😣
Loving this!!
I've never really bowled, so it took me a while to get the hang of this. My first score was a 130, second was something like 152.
VoiceOver
When announcing the position on the lane, VoiceOver reads it too quickly, so it would be better to allow manual selection. Also, when you lock in the position, there should be a cancel button in case you don’t want to take the shot.
Agree with EVANGELOS
I had the same issue about not being certain whether I had chosen left, center or right in this game, just based on the way VO read it. As is often the case, I'm fully prepared to admit user error, or VO just being weird, but since someone else reported this first, I figured it was safe to second it.
ball positioning
In the opening post, it was mentioned that the first time the ball moves, it does so fairly quickly. After that, it moves more slowly. When Voice-Over says left, center, or right, that's exactly where it is. Left edge near the 7 pin, center, at the head pin, or right, at the ten pin. You time it to stop where you want it to stop. Going from left to right, the 4 pins on the back row are 7, 8, 9 and 10 pins. So, for example, if you leave the 2, 4, and 5 pins, you want to stop the movement of the ball a little bit to the left of the head pin. HTH.
new high score
On a regular game, my new score is 215. A question: On the leader board, I only see myself and one other player. Where are the others? I'm sure that there are some.In the opening post, it was mentioned that the first time the ball moves, it does so fairly quickly. After that, it moves more slowly.

Playing on multiple devices
This is a great game. Been playing for a week i think. I have a question tho. I have this on my phone and just downloaded on my ipad. Does my progress and everything not cross over from what I did on the phone?
Update
Hello everyone!
There's an update to this fabulous game, with VoiceOver enhancements, such as voicing the current frame and ball automatically. Check it out!

An idea for a future update
Good afternoon,
I’m about to purchase this game. As I was sitting here, I was wondering if it would be possible to add multiplayer Support over game center?
Bowling is typically a team sport.
challenging
There is an option to challenge, but I can't figure out how to do it. Also, I would like to have to wait for my opponent in tournaments to bowl. If that is incorporated, I would like to see both running totals as we bowl. We could then see what we need in order to win games in tournaments. Of course, we should hear their frames being bowled, as well, just as if we were bowling against each other at the lanes. Keep up the good work on this already awesome game for fans of bowling.
Just purchased & got 134 my first game!

It moves to quickly when telling you where you are. I tried to center myself, but couldn't manage to do it fast enough, so kept missing.
Any advice on that?
Changing position
It is now possible to change the position of your ball before bowling. To do so, double tap with 2 fingers. Today, for my daily bowl, I achieved a new high score of 216.
