Why was I playing on a cool new alley when my friend challenged me to a game, and now my alley has switched back to an older one?
Your friend has been busy winning bowling bucks and using them to buy new alleys. When your friend challenges you, you start out on the alley they start with. If you do not own this alley, you will be taken back to your default starting alley or you can buy bowling bucks in the Pro Shop or earn your way to new alleys. Hint. Points make bowling bucks, and balls with bonuses make even more bowling bucks quickly.

Why do I get "Commerce Unavailable" when trying to make a purchase? (Android)
If you try to buy something and receive the message "Commerce Unavailable" there are two possible causes. Either your device is not running Google Play Store version 3 or later or you have not configured your account.
If you are running an older version of the store you'll need to update the Google Play Store on your device. If your store icon says "Market" it is too old. It should say "Play Store".
If you have "Play Store" you probably have not setup your Google account. To do this, go to your device's Settings and under Accounts select Add Account. Once this is setup, re-start Let's Bowl 2 and try again.
How do I exit?
Go to the main menu, click the gear icon, then click EXIT.
If I switch phones will I loose all my purchases?
The "Remove Ads" purchase will transfer between phones provided you setup the same user account on your new phone as that from which you purchased "Remove Ads".
We currently do not store all the Alley and Ball purchases in the cloud so if you intend on switching phones follow these steps:
- Update Let's Bowl 2 to the latest version on the old phone.
- Send a Support request from inside Let's Bowl 2 from the old phone stating you will be switching phones.
- On your new phone, install Let's Bowl 2 and send another Support request stating this is your new phone.
We can then provide an appropriate coupon so you can re-purchase your previous Alley's and Ball's.
You need to make sure to send the Support request from your old phone while Let's Bowl 2 is still installed.
Only the device user can make purchases
If you are in a Multiplayer game only the device user can make purchases. This is so your friends don't decide to spend all your hard earned bucks on balls and alleys.
If you see this message but are trying to play alone go back to the main menu and hit PLAY to start a single player game.
Then you should be able to unlock anything you have enough bowling bucks for.
