Balls take forever to stop moving. There are much nicer pool simulations available. If later versions add features and improve speed, then it's worth trying. ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2011-06-08* Controls are sticky and there's no ability to zoom in and accurately place a shot. The balls are so small on the screen that zoom should be an option in order to get the angles right. No way to put English on the ball, so half the time on a straight shot the cue ball gets sank too. The physics are off as far as drag goes too, takes flipping forever for the balls to come to a stop, and the game doesn't advance until they are stopped. Need to increase drag/rolling resistance! ### 2/5 — Not bad for a free game *2011-03-30* Controls are unresponsive, and the graphics are pretty bad ### 2/5 — Was free but I was charged! *2011-03-05* This game changed from $1.99 to free on march 3rd through 4th. I downloaded the app while it was free. And then they charged me anyway on 5th! Game is not that gr8 needs polishing. Can't really tell where u will hit the ball I prefer tiny lines. ### 3/5 — Ace Pool 3D *2010-10-18* This game lacks multitasking support, and game center support. Should they incorporate these features in future updates, enabling online multiplayer, and perhaps tweak the physics just a little bit, this game would be a 5 star hit. ### 3/5 — Some good, some bad *2010-10-13* I like the look of the game for the most part. Sounds are great and everything just looks the way it is supposed to. Unfortunately I must agree with one other reviewer...The physics handling is very poor. The balls frequently travel far passed the point where they should have stopped. Sometimes it seems the striking power isn't accurate to the bar either. My other complaint, it seems there is no way to perform backspin or English on the ball. There is a UI element that looks like it should be for that, but I haven't been able to get it working...Perhaps in an update? ### 3/5 — Its okay... *2010-10-12* The bad physics slightly ruins this impressive looking design and gameplay. It was free today so not entirely a loss. ### 3/5 — Zu unpräzise *2010-10-12, version 0* Steuerung lässt leider zu wünschen übrig. Man kann nicht präzise zielen. Manchmal geht sie gar nicht. Von der Optik her sehr gut, es muß aber noch einiges betreffend der Steuerung verbessert werden. Der Computergegner spielt zu schwach. Für umsonst in Ordnung, ansonsten empfehle ich Micro Pool, ist eindeutig besser. ### 2/5 — Schwach *2010-10-12, version 0* Die Genauigkeit des Zielens ist leider nicht ausreichend. Macht aufgrund der Grobheit also leider keinen Spaß. Sonst aber schön gemacht. Eine iPad-Version, die genauer steuerbar ist, könnte was sein. ### 1/5 — Fail *2010-10-12, version 0* The ridiculously low friction and the ultra slow game pace are what make this game a failure. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Orribile *2011-07-27, version 1.0* Lenta e fa schifo ### 1/5 — BAD *2011-07-07* Slow as the dickens and near zero control. Also, and here we are more than a year later, this app DOES NOT MULTITASK. If you get a popup text message and answer it, that's it, game over. Certainly NOT WORTH the $1.99 price tag. ### 1/5 — Crap *2011-06-03, version 1.0* Just crap. ### 1/5 — No!!!!!! *2010-10-29, version 0* Noiosissimo, lentissimo ### 1/5 — nn ci siamo.... *2010-10-29, version 0* troppo noioso!!!! le palline ci impiegano un'eternità a fermarsi.... da migliorare assolutamente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — 還敢收$1.99? 當人傻? *2010-10-23, version 0* 如果要玩卓球game, 建議玩: Pool Bar - Online Hustle Ronnie O'Sullivan's Snooker ### 1/5 — Fix the game first *2010-10-13, version 0* Game won't let you aim your que. Sage. ### 1/5 — Orribile! *2010-10-12, version 0* Fa c....e!! ### 1/5 — Imbarazzante... *2010-10-12, version 0* Fa' cagher'... ### 1/5 — pessima *2010-10-12, version 0* pessima ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best snooker training app so far *2025-12-11, version 1.9* This is the only app i find on app store that uses proper ghost ball method and not shaking the camera around after potting. The game looks worse than competitors, but that’s exactly why i find it useful. It simulates better how you aim and learn a angle shot in real life. Keep it up. If the dev is active, I suggest to remove the time limit. A potting specific practice mode would also be nice. ### 5/5 — Ganz Ok *2017-11-21, version 1.2* Für Lau geht das völlig in Ordnung. Nach jedem Spiel wird Werbung gezeigt. Kann man mit leben. Der KI-Gegner dürfte gerne etwas stärker sein. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2011-11-23, version 1.0* Not sure why there are complaints. It's a neat little game. Quality is good. I like the game. Great game to play on my way to work. ### 5/5 — ..... *2010-12-15* After playing several pool apps this one is my favorite so far. It's a basic game with only two mode options and three table color choices. I feel the same as others when they say the balls travel a little farther than they should. It's something very easy to get used to though. To me it's a five star app because I got it free. I would pay a buck but would be dissapointed paying two. ### 5/5 — Pool *2010-11-25* I love this game it is simple and easy to play. The only problem I had with it was that I think it could be a little lighter. Some of the plays you try to make are hard to see. ### 5/5 — Biliardo *2010-10-30, version 0* Bellissimo ### 5/5 — Ottimo *2010-10-29, version 0* Non state a ascoltare quelli che mettono un voto negativo. Ottima grafica e ottima giocabilità certamente bisogna prenderci un po' la mano prima ma poi va che è una meraviglia ### 3/5 — Onwe simple change *2011-06-15, version 1.0* Some kind of "skipping" the balls movement with a touch, it makes it reaaaally slow if u have to wait for them every time. ### 3/5 — Buena y gratis hoy *2011-06-01, version 1.0* Pues eso mismo ### 3/5 — Lenta *2011-04-13, version 1.0* Carina ma troppo lenta, le palline non si fermano mai; per bradipi in letargo. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
