Just as good as iGolf, (bonus rant included)
Same thing pretty much, it's just your preference whether you like golf or bowling. But hey; it's free!
By the way, I commented first. This makes me feel so gloriously superior to all you nobodies who did not attain this highly coveted honor, that I consequentially must gloat about it for all of you to see.
*inhale*
While on the topic of annoying commenting habits, I would like you to all select "yes" if you have ever felt the need to broadcast your views and see how many people agreed or disagreed with you utilizing the crude medium of the "was this helpful?" option to answer a usually unrelated question.
If you are reading this now, consider yourself thoroughly and brutally ranted at.
Revolutionary gaming
I was hoping to see apps that took advantage of the iPhone's unique features since the App Store opened.
Games like iBowl and iGolf have certainly provided that. Full interaction using the accelerometer.
Amazing game design. I have recommended these to all my iPhone owning friends.
AMAZING
This and iGolf are the most amazing apps EVER, it's like having a wii in you pocket! I do have a few suggestions for an update though: 1. Please don't make us hold down the bowl button while swinging because you either have to use two hands (which looks a little silly) or if you hold it down it makes it a lot easier to accidentally through your iPhone/iTouch. 2. More balls, make more colors to choose from. 3. More lanes (maybe a dark lane with a lot of disco lights). If you do those this will be so much better! Thank you for this app and iGolf and for making them free!!!
