2.1 Profile
Profile
Your Spectre Stats profile is the foundation of your account. It stores your personal bowling details, display information, and preferences that help the app give you the most relevant experience. You can update your profile at any time from the Account & Settings section.
👤 Viewing and Editing Your Profile
- Open Spectre Stats on your device or in your browser.
- Tap or click the Account icon — typically found in the bottom navigation bar on mobile or the top-right corner on web.
- Select Profile or Edit Profile.
- Update any of your details and tap or click Save when you're done.
⚠️ Verify: Confirm the exact navigation path to the profile editor on both mobile and web, and the label used (e.g. "Profile", "My Profile", "Edit Profile").
📋 Your Profile Fields
Your profile holds both basic account information and bowling-specific details that are used throughout the app.
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Display Name | Your name as it appears throughout the app | ✅ Yes |
| Email Address | Used for account login and notifications | ✅ Yes |

| Dominant Hand | Right-handed or left-handed | ❌ Optional |
| Bowling Style | e.g. stroker, tweener, cranker | ❌ Optional |
| Home Bowling Center | Your regular house for league or practice | ❌ Optional |
⚠️ Verify: Confirm the full list of profile fields available in the app, which are required vs. optional, and whether any additional fields exist (e.g. USBC member number, average, date of birth).

- Tap or click Change Password.
- Enter your current password, then your new password twice to confirm.

🖼️ Updating Your Profile Photo

☁️ Profile and Spectre Cloud
If your account is linked to Spectre Cloud through your pro shop, some profile information — such as your name and ball data — may be shared between the two systems. Changes made in Spectre Stats may or may not sync back to Spectre Cloud depending on your setup.
⚠️ Verify: Confirm exactly which profile fields sync between Spectre Stats and Spectre Cloud, and whether changes flow in one direction or both.

Tip: Filling in your dominant hand and bowling style helps give context to your performance data — even if these fields are optional, they're worth taking a moment to set up.
