Preferences
The Preferences section of Spectre Stats lets you tailor the app to match the way you bowl and the way you like to work with data. From units of measurement to default views and display options, these settings make sure the app feels right for you from the moment you open it.
🛠️ Accessing Preferences
- Open Spectre Stats and go to Account.
- Tap or click Settings or Preferences.
- Adjust any settings as needed — changes save automatically.
⚠️ Verify: Confirm the exact navigation path to the Preferences section on mobile and web, and whether it is a separate section from Notification Settings or part of the same Settings screen.

🌐 Language
Spectre Stats displays in the language set on your device by default. If multiple languages are supported, you may also be able to set a preferred language directly within the app.
- ✅ English
⚠️ Verify: Confirm whether French and Spanish are supported (consistent with Spectre Cloud), and whether language can be set independently within the app or only follows the device language setting.
🔄 Resetting Preferences to Default
If you want to start fresh with the app's default settings, you can reset your preferences without affecting your competition data, arsenal, or account information.
- Go to Account > Settings > Preferences.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap or click Reset to Defaults.
- Confirm when prompted — your preferences will revert to the original app defaults.
⚠️ Verify: Confirm whether a "Reset to Defaults" option exists for preferences, and clarify that this action does not affect competition history, arsenal data, or account settings.

Tip: Setting your default bowling center and competition type saves time every time you start a new session — the fewer fields you have to fill in at the lanes, the faster you can get back to bowling.
