Summary iPhone and iPad only apps Ubersense and SloPro both provide outstanding video recording, playback, and analysis features. If you are just getting started, try Ubersense first as its interface is more intuitive. However, SloPro has impressive features that make slow motion video easier to see and it's definitely worth adding to your device as well. Since both are free, there's little downside to trying them. Video recording and editing options are more limited for Android devices. Coach's Eye for Android tablets at $4.99 does a respectable job of providing video capture, playback, and analysis. Coach's Eye is also available for iPhone and iPad for $4.99 on the iOS App Store and is another viable option for those with iOS devices. So, along with using your mobile devices to play games or stay connected with family and friends, you know that you can record and analyze video to help improve your bowling game. Enjoy! In the next technology article, the focus will be on apps that help with frame by frame scoring and gathering statistics on spare percentages, strike percentages, averages, starting position, ball specific results, etc.
