Update.

Why change things that didn’t need to be changed? When I opened up my vp4 I noticed it was abit different and after some time realised it had been updated for the first time in a long time. My career and my tour games became unplayable as my cue wouldn’t shoot the cue ball. It would pull back ok but pushing forward to shoot just wouldn’t work. So I figured since it was an update then uninstalling and reinstalling would probably fix it. This did work and I was able to shoot but NOT as normal. Not only did I lose all my pro tour and hustler games but To my horror everything had changed on the interface. Shooting the cue is no long done by putting your finger on the cue and pushing forward but now the cue is at the right of the screen and the strength of shot is now determined by how far you pull back but instead of pushing the cue forward you let go of the cue. Putting English in the ball is now done horribly different. You click on the cueball at the bottom of the screen and you are then greeted with a big cue all with a dot and you move the dot according to how much English you need. I could go on. I have been a fan of virtual pool since the early days where I started with VP2 I think. I used to be a regular on game spy for years playing with PC with vp3 and VP4. Circumstances took me away from pc playing and a few years ago discovered the phone version which I’ve loved and never stopped playing it since I installed it. Now this update has completely ruined for me. I hate it now because it’s not the game I’ve loved and played for many years. I don’t know if it’s possible to revert back to the previous version but if not I’m going to have to uninstall and find an alternative. I don’t think I’ll be able to find a pool game as good as VP4 was before this update tho. Very sad!!

Update fail

Was loving this app, but the latest update seems to have an issue, where you now have two options, option one, your cue power is a side bar, which doesn’t have the same response as the drawing the cue original, option two, the original where the aim and shoot using the cue, but the seem to have a force field around the cue ball, which prevents the cue from hitting it, so play impossible.

Best pool sim

Remains the most realistic pool simulation. Takes a long time to get good at it. If you don’t want realism don’t buy this.

Very good

I still play this game on my computer. The app is a big improvement over the old one. However there is one bug where at a certain point I can no longer backstroke and I have to quit the game. The backstroke mode doesn’t detect any touch on the pool cue. I play 3C. Thanks

The BEST!!!!

Hands down the best 3D pool game around. Celeris did an incredible job on this game. Only advice I would give is to practice your shot control with cue ball. If you just aim and shoot you will probably be scratching a lot. Many negative reviews state that this is why they don’t play. Even in real pool this ability to control your cue ball after the initial strike is what separates beginners from seasoned players. I’ve gotten much better at this game and rarely scratch as a result of practicing cue ball control. They have made a great game that in my opinion is far more realistic than any other. If you like pool and want an app to be as close to the real thing as possible then you need to download this game. It’s awesome!!!

Rough port

Free version only has 6 ball which is reasonable as its not a free game, but the control scheme is poor in how you have to drag the cue in order to shoot. Really messes up aiming sometimes when it doesnt work and really tough to get good power. Impressive to have running on iphone though

Beat 3D pool ever 🎱

The best Pool simulator ever ❤️🎱
I give you 5 star but please update the game frequently in month for better experience
These are my request for next update :

1. (The most important one) please add ONLINE multiplayer section to the game ( No matter how hard artificial intelligence is, playing against humans with different levels of difficulty is more enjoyable ).

2. Add “Slow Motion” feature for REPLAY :
You can add an option that by holding the REPLAY button, it will slow down in a smooth and cinematic way at the moment of the shot, which is an attractive effect, and by releasing it, it will play at normal speed.

3. Add “Chalk function” :
Chalk is an Inseparable part of pool & cue
please add it to game ( you can add it as an potion in setting for who want to have this option as an extra feature ).

4. Add custom a section to store :
VP can earn more money
from different custom for cues, more tables and locations, more table’s colors (There are several colors already in the setting, but more colors in different tone can be more attractive, for example, more common types of green, blue, red, and light gray) and even more balls’ custom with different styles and fonts. If you add more custom to the game we will buy them all ;)

5. add vibration function in mobile version :
Vibrate the phone when cue hit the cue ball and also when a ball drop in hole, it can be feels cool ;)

6. More details for table’s fabric :
Add an option in setting (same as color) for
Adding realistic details to tables fabrics (like Hawg Pen’s table texture)
Big tables are soulless, unlike the small tables in the start of the game for example: Garage, Pit shop and Hawg pen, adding details to the big tables makes them more realistic graphically.

Thanks in advance VP🎱❤️

Awesome game

One bug- very difficult to select ‘ball on’

also,Just wish couple things

- skip faster.. not have to wait for computer to do practice strokes

- slow mo replay

- undo in career modes… let me cheat if I want it’s just a game

Great game, here’s how it can be improved

First off, it’s a beautiful game. The developers genuinely did a great job at making this game. It’s very realistic and the physics accounts for things like cue ball deflection, cut/spin induced throw of the object ball, accurate mechanics when hitting the rails, etc.
Here’s some improvement ideas.
-Online mode. No reason why there can’t be an online mode. You could easily make a lot of money on micro-transactions for skins and better performing cues and whatnot.
-Needs better AI. Especially with how good the average person can be with ball tracking mode (I’m on level 3000 almost on there), the AI just has no chance to beat you, no matter how hard the difficulty is. There should be a Ronnie O’Sullivan level-good AI for the snooker mode especially. The highest break the AI can get is around 50, and I average about 75 per break. The cushion games could also use an improvement in the AI.
-There are some games that you can’t play against the AI. I’m not exactly sure why, but I feel like I shouldn’t have to play against myself to play a game.

Best pool game, hands down

It doesn’t get better than this. Great physics, great controls, great graphics. The AI isn’t perfect, but it’s really good. Some subtle physics that are missing — spin induced throw being one. But for the most part everything is perfect. There’s no better pool game on the App Store!

One thing I’d love to see: the ability to place balls in practice mode. I would like to be able to practice specific shots.
