Used to be ok.
Yes, when I bought this - note, bought - it was a well designed game with realistic ball action - run on, bounce, cannon and so on - but then Apple decided to change their platform to 32 bit and it didn’t work any more. Months of asking the developers what they were going to do with this app that I had BOUGHT eventually had them rewrite it so it would work on 32 bit. Well, the rewrite was lamentably poor. Nothing like the original. Ball speed and reaction to impact was awful. Several updates later it is approaching the quality of the original game. BUT they have included adverts! And I BOUGHT it originally. Can I have my money back?
And now it is full of absolutely crap adverts for other games. Impossible to get rid of them even though I BOUGHT this game.

Mixed feelings
In some ways this is a great game: however there are some big flaws.
- the computer always makes the same break (so there is no variety)
- there isn’t the option of making your opponent play again after making a foul
- there isn’t the option of a free ball after the opponent makes a foul if you can’t see a ball of the colour you need to pot
- the computer has a remarkable ability to escape from snookers
- the applause (or comments such as good shot) don't really match what has just happened. I've had applause when I’ve snookered myself or gone badly out of position.

Really good but limited
It’s a great game. The visuals are spot on. The control of cue ball, speed etc are excellent. Even the audience sound is brilliant. The only problem is once you’ve achieved a 147 and win the tournament there’s no where to go after that except for back to the beginning. How about proper matches with best of 17. Real snooker stars like O’Sullivan. How about different eras? 70s, 80s etc. Other than that it’s a great game. Probably the best snooker game on the market.
