Pool Wiki

I honestly love this app I’ve already gave this game 5 stars because it is very realistic to the original game that you can play at a bar or at home so I really hope who ever gets this game has a lot of fun I am honestly very obsessed with this game you get addicted the very first second that You play at least for me of course so I really hope who ever downloads this game really gives this game 5 stars it might mean a lot to the inventor because it shows you love the game🥳

I’ve been happily playing this games for a few years, the changes a few days ago are miserable, no other word for them. The spinning arrows over the pockets is sickening. It’s ruined a very good game. It is so bad I can’t even look at the pockets to make the shot. It’s really nasty. Take them off....it may be a surprise to you but people can find a pocket on a pool table without the spinning arrows. Fire the guy/gal who thought that was a good idea.

I’ve played hundreds of games with the first version of the game which disappeared from the App Store. This clone is the latest release of the game which is on the App Store. What’s the difference? Advertising for one. The statistics, which can’t be reset to zero on the first release, has been deleted on this version. So no tally or score of games won. Huh? I don’t mind advertising if I can pay to stop it but there seems no way within the game to do it. Granted it’s still fun to play. Other pool games have other problems such as no English or a very narrow range where it affects the object ball. In this game the controls are wonderful! I have a “wish” list that includes individually resettable scores for each skill level, a counter of scratches and forfeits by making the 8 ball in error. That’s a minimum for me hence I’m only giving it 4 stars, not bad at all, but I’ll hold my fifth star until there’s an upgrade with the mentioned features. I still play the early first version with the scoring and no advertising. They could have made it even better and instead made it worse. The silver lining is that it’s really FREE and fun. Some pool games are greedy thinking they’re almost an MMO, MMORPG by charging for tokens or chips for that infinite flow of cash. If you’re wealthy, have fun with my blessings on those ha ha ha!

Engaging and habit-forming. Couple of bugs - low impact, but makers may wanna check ‘em out: 1) When cueball is close-up against another ball, especially when screen edges limit pool stick length - the cueball will sometimes appear stubbornly adhered to the end of the pool stick, making it a dud that goes nowhere when “shot” (as seems the only action that frees it), and 2) Choosing a pocket for the 8-ball takes several taps and on occasion, it triggers a random unaimed “shot” hurling the cueball across the table with the pool stick still temporarily absent from view. In both cases, the game moves on to the other player causing, essentially, a lost shot. Even so, the frequency is not enough to take away from the engaging aspects of the game, that seem very near the “real thing”. I’ve learned to execute a couple of petty fanciful angles and surprised myself more than a few times It’s a simple, fairly basic game with various visual options but be aware, it can grow addicting. 👍

This game is so enjoyable and fun to play with friends and family. I absolutely am in love with this game although maybe people complain about the advantages and disadvantages about playing against computer..I agree. When I try to take a simple shot I miss by a mile but the computer easily makes the shot from all sorts of weird angles that are mostly impossible to actually go in the pockets. By now I would done and furious with this game but I absolutely love it. Even though I do not always win, it’s still incredibly fun to play and it’s an amazing way to enjoy yourself even if you have nobody else to play with. Overall I believe this game is amazing and that I will keep playing. I rate this game a 4 because there are multiple good reasons to bad reasons. Love this game ❤️

It's a fun little game that's easy to play but the computer cheats. I just finished a game where I sank the last odd numbered ball and the computer then decided that it would not only not let me shoot the eight ball but decided to take the next shot and placed the ball in the most advantageous position for the even numbered balls and proceeded to sink all six even numbered balls and the eight ball to win. So I went from six balls ahead and it was my shot for the eight ball to losing. This game does things like that all the time. Also I paid for the full version and it’s not available on iOS 11.

I was truly enjoying this game when all of a sudden must have gotten an update because now it looks and acts different. Put it back the way it was. I don’t want something spinning over the pocket I select. I don’t need “Player Thinking” in bold letters. My thoughts were to see if this game can be purchased but now with all these changes I am doubtful if this is a game for me. Oh and before you apparently fixed something that wasn’t broke the cue stick never spun when hitting the shoot button. Now it is hit or miss. Please put it back the way it was.

As others have said, I love the games features. The power, vectors, and English are all useful. I’d add a few more things though: 1- the ability to chose difficulty level. I can now regularly beat the computer easily. I’m talking it still has 5-6 balls left, and I’m sinking the 8 easily. Let’s up the difficulty a bit, at least for those of us that want it. 2- allow the game to be more orientation friendly. It’s set up for portrait mode, let’s make it work better in landscape too. It’s playable, but everything (menus, etc.) are sideways. 3- More table colors and ball set options would be fun, and the ability to chose each separately would be even better. Maybe some pro-options as levels increase. 4- scoring: save scores, # of games won, games stats, etc. there’s a solitaire game I play that changes my title with each successive level increase. Let’s do something like that.

Fun to play and pass the time but has a couple bugs. For example, if you make a ball in on the break, a solid for example, and don’t make the next shot, the computer player can shoot a solid in and cheat you out of a ball. Also doesn’t follow the actual rules of pool like “scratches” where the cp makes a shot, but also hits one of yours in, just lets the computer player keep playing its turn instead of letting you place the cue ball. Not a huge deal, unless you play real pool, then it’s kinda annoying.

This game is pretty good but it has some problems. I agree with Toidiots’ review, it’s not following some of the basic rules AND it’s also not always physically POSSIBLE for some things to happen. Also, they CHEAT you. For example, let’s just say you hit a solid to find out which ball you are (solid or stripes) in the beginning of the game, and then the computer hits a solid you end up getting stripes. It’s not that I’m against stripes, it’s just that I got solid fair and square. On the other hand, it’s still a good game to play.

I love this game! I can even win! There is not even one complaint that I would have. . . . . . . . . CORRECTION! After writing above, I read another review and realized I have ALL the same problems, but I was having so much fun playing & winning that I just started overlooking all those problems, but they are still there: computer's balls go in when they shouldn't, computer gets to move the cue ball whenever and wherever it wants to, computer oftentimes hits my balls before they hit hers, computer starts playing again when my turn isn't up yet, and on and on. Normally, I would delete this game and be done with it, but I just love this game.

I like this pool game better than other ones because the controls are simple, even though the physics aren't quite like playing the game in real life. Sometimes the computer will cheat though, like think it is it's turn when u made a perfectly good shot sometimes. and if you knock the white ball in, it gets to put it in any where it wants, but if it does that, oh no, YOUR stuck in the kitchen. I also don't like that there's no difficulty setting so it's basically set on always easy. So I guess that it's cheating makes up for how bad it is. But I still prefer this version over most.

Say you sink a stripe on break, the icon does not show it under your number, until the computer sinks a ball. So if you missed it you don’t know what you have without counting what’s left. Here’s my favorite, I sunk the SOLID yellow on break, but it didn’t count, I missed my next shot, the computer sunk a SOLID, so now it shows the computer has solids and I have stripes, WHAT ABOUT THE BALL I SUNK ON BREAK. Overall if you don’t mind the computer is so biased ,it’s a fun game, just realize they get to cut closer, you get cheated sometimes on the break and a few other irritations and it’s ok.

I agree with Gimowoman. This was an excellent app that requires no “improvements” whatsoever. The latest update changed all that. It supposedly “fixed” freezing. The app was already working perfectly. Now, everything it “fixed” now causes problems, looks stupid, drains battery power. Stupid spinning things in all the pockets. Freezing cue shots. Game locking up. Big lag on taking the shot to the cue ball actually moving. I used to love this app. Played it all the time. Have a 5-star review. Now it’s a mess. 1 Star is generous. Please “update” back to what once was. Or at least allow those of us who preferred the game before this last update the option of returning to the previous version.
