Frequently asked questions

BowlersDash will be available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. We're currently in TestFlight; if you'd like to try the app early, email us and we'll send you an invite.
It's a shortcut to your own bowling numbers. BowlersDash is the app your league officer uses to track scores, standings, and who owes what; the link opens it straight to your average, where your team stands, and what you owe or have paid. Tap it, and that's it — there's no account to create, no password, and no email to hand over. It's free for bowlers. You'll need the app installed first; if you don't have it yet, the link will make more sense once you do. Your view is read-only, so you can't accidentally change anything your treasurer entered. If you'd rather not keep it, open Settings and tap Leave League — that removes it from your device. What gets stored is spelled out in our privacy policy.
BowlersDash uses Sign in with Apple, and signing in is optional. On first launch you can tap "Sign in with Apple" and confirm, or choose "Continue without signing in" and use the app as a guest. If you do sign in, you can share your real email or use Apple's private relay email — either works. Your league data syncs through your device's iCloud account either way. Bowlers who follow a link from their treasurer don't need to sign in at all.
From the home screen, tap Leagues+New League. Set the league name, season dates, weekly schedule, scoring format (handicap or scratch), and any house rules. Then add teams and bowlers — you can type them in or import them from a CSV. The league is yours immediately. When you're ready to let bowlers follow along, generate the league's invite code and share it as a link, a QR code, or a code they type in; each bowler gets a read-only view of their own scores, standings, and balance without creating an account.
BowlersDash tracks who owes what each week — dues, side pots, brackets, anything you've set up — and lets officers mark payments as received. Whether you collect cash at the lanes, by check, or via a third-party payment app (Venmo, Zelle, etc.), BowlersDash keeps the running ledger and shows each bowler their current balance. Direct payment collection inside the app (Apple Pay / card) is on the post-launch roadmap.
Open the current week from the league screen and tap a team to start scoring. Enter each bowler's game scores as the night goes — three games per bowler is the default. Handicaps, weekly results, season averages, and standings all update automatically as you go, so by the time the night ends everything is calculated and posted. Officers can enter scores for anyone in the league; bowlers can enter their own and review what's been posted for them.
First check Settings → [your name] → iCloud on your device and confirm iCloud is signed in and iCloud Drive is enabled. Then, in BowlersDash, tap Settings → Account and confirm you're signed in to the same Apple ID. If sync still doesn't work, try force-closing and reopening the app, or reboot the device. If problems persist, email us with your device model and iOS/macOS version.
Sign in with Apple requires you to be signed in to your Apple ID on the device. Check Settings → [your name] and confirm you're signed in. If the sign-in screen loops or fails, try restarting the device and signing in again. Persistent issues — email support.
In the app: Settings tab → Account → Delete Account. It takes effect immediately — see how to delete your account for what it does and doesn't remove.
BowlersDash is free to download and use, and version 1.0 has no in-app purchases — there is nothing in the app to buy. Running a league, entering scores, tracking standings, and recording payments are all included at no cost. We may introduce optional paid upgrades in a later release; if we do, we'll say so on the App Store listing and here before anything changes.
We want to hear it. Email support@cometinnovations.com with as much detail as you can — the more context, the better the eventual fix or feature.
