What is specto?
Founder : KEGEL (Built For Bowling)
Specto is a new tracking system for centres, bowlers and coaches. It records
information about the the bowler’s shot using a high-power sensor ad
displays this data on an easy-to-use app designed for mobile devices, or
the coaches app, for Windows based devices.
The bowling center is able to control the Specto system using their Center
Dashboard and can easily turn specto on and off on each lane.

How Specto Bowling Work?
The sensor is mounted using an isolator bracket that will attach to the
foundation at predetermined location. The sensor must have a clear path
to the bowling ball as it travels down the lane.
However some of the bowling centers have a type of scoring camera or
sensor which may be mounted on the gutter gapping. To help with this
obtacles, KEGEL has designed a form that must be completed to help
determine the optimum location to install the Specto sensor.

Fixed the freezing of the app because it make many people uninstall it.
It would be nice if we could manually enter our lanes and don’t need a
permission from the bowling center to turn on the Specto.
This app only use landscape. Need to improvise so that many side can be
