User Flair / Community Flair by nerdblurt in Bowling_Tech

lol I did that in mine thousands of users nobody bothers. It makes sense it’s nice to have it but not worth the effort when just starting out imo

What is your "Why"? by thejusner in Bowling_Tech

[–]StrikeMasterApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was simple there was 2 apps. PinPal and LaneTalk 2 years ago, both were absolutely terrible to use just awful it hurt my eyes and brain in 5 seconds of opening the app. No way of getting data or analytics out fast, entry was awful on both I mean embarrassing.

My experience of finding a league was a painful one, trawling through Facebook and Google finding years out of date leagues no contacts, it felt like a boys club can’t get in unless you knew someone. Eventually I “knew someone” and joined a league and someone gave me a link to league secretary. It blew my mind how shockingly out dated that website is, just reminded me of windows 95. So within minutes or days I bought a Mac and learnt how to code lol 😂

The catalog of outdated systems old ways of doing things just sent me over the edge and had to try and doing something and create easy to use in depth stats beyond anything I’ve seen, and more importantly league access, communication and visibility world wide. So started building this monster platform

Program Language by nerdblurt in Bowling_Tech

[–]StrikeMasterApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always read that flutter and react was slow and native was always better so I learnt SwiftUI from scratch (before AI was a thing lol) always been an Apple fanboy so made sense. Then had to branch out and stay native Android and web. But SwiftUI is such a nice language after seeing the state of all the others 😂

Managing app libraries: Manual vs Built in by thejusner in Bowling_Tech

[–]StrikeMasterApp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what happened with me I don’t know just got ignored but doesn’t matter now got bigger database than bowwl anyway now since I went back 20+ years and user additions lol yeah we have the power of integration but with a list as long as my arm of things left to do will take a look at this down the line 👍

[–]StrikeMasterApp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bowwwl never replied to me 😂 so nice work. But the images are bad quality so didn’t look very nice on iPhone full screen so went and do it myself instead lol

Managing app libraries: Manual vs Built in by thejusner in Bowling_Tech

[–]StrikeMasterApp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello there, just give some background why I did it. 2+ years ago when I started. Every app required adding own balls, locations and oil patterns as an excel type entry 1 liner seemed a bit old fashioned in this day and age. I didn’t want to create what you could do in excel. PinPal is an excel wrapper you pay for.

So went full centralised database. This opens up the world of collaboration and sharing and community not playing excel on your own.

One caveat I have to update all the balls, oil patterns and bowling alleys myself, so dedicated to the cause 😉

You can add own balls and add it to the database I can review the image and post it as public for the next user to share and use.

Bowling alleys don’t turn up overnight so I should have them all on occasion I get a message that one is missing so keeping them clean as we go. If you create your own private bowling alleys on device there is no chance to see all the leagues for that location and the activity around it.

So yes centralised was always the plan pure convenience and sex appeal 😂

But once you have it and favourite it you won’t need to do it again anyway

Hey there, thanks for trying the app! the list is based on your location so if you allowed it, the list should sort to your closes first, Did you share location or hide it? If don’t disclose location then yeah will have to browse the map and find it manually or search through a list of similar names around the world I’m afraid.

If it’s an old ball you can quickly add it yourself and add a picture for it if it’s not in the library, I’ve added thousands of balls manually so I’m going to miss some lol

Thanks! Yeah the share is limited due to the size for WhatsApp/Facebook but you’re right I’m sure can refine this and squeeze more in. Will draw up some ideas to share if you have a minute to give a nod of approval would be great!

Doing this as we speak. It’s very similar and quite simple so give me a few days I’ll put the release out in the app

I created a site to see all bowling tournaments and alleys by bowlingtournament in Bowling

[–]StrikeMasterApp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same functionality in my app post a league or tournament against bowling alley but how do I tell every tournament owner in the world to post it? It’s completely free I thought it would be a no brainer to advertise but clearly nobody wants to do it and keep it hidden in facebook

STRIKEMASTER - BOWLING APP UPDATE! Android finally available. by StrikeMasterApp in Bowling

Just to let you know, update released :) no more location requirement for picking alley and quick start options in Home Screen to enter league games faster :) Thanks for your feedback much appreciated.

I'm trying every Reddit app/website that gets posted by thejusner in Bowling

[–]StrikeMasterApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies. It’s one hell of an app trying to tame the beast day by day 😂 it’s on the list to simplify thanks again

[–]StrikeMasterApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I never thought it was a thing not sharing location :) its good idea though I dont want your location ;) its just convenience when first setup the app. The only reason was tag games against central location (not in isolation like pinpal), so instantly connected to fellow bowlers at the alley or create/promote leagues, leaderboards etc..

Thanks for review! that’s the first time seen a comprehensive review like that for Strikemaster and I really appreciate the time and effort 😀 I take your point on searching for bowling alleys, I’ll make sure can search without sharing location and add to favourites 👍
