Please put a current download, thanks! ### 3/5 — Money hungry *2018-12-16* This game has bugs that need to be fixed. But, the most frustrating thing for me is how they are constantly trying to get your money. The game is rigged in so many ways, to try to entice you to buy things. ie: buying upgraded cues will give you more skill, etc. If you don't buy, it's rigged to make you lose more games by hooking or scratching cue ball. Greedy. ### 4/5 — Okay *2018-11-12* Okayokay ### 3/5 — Good but... *2018-04-02* The leader board never works on my iPad. So if ranking is a be deal for you then it will drive you crazy. I also have lost dollars twice since playing. It may be a connection issue but something should be built in to address this as other software companies have successfully done. ### 2/5 — Update needed!!!! *2018-03-17* Love the game but the game hasn’t been updated for ages and now I’m unable to play because it’s incompatible with the latest iso upgrade! Upgrade the game people!!!!! ### 4/5 — Crashes often *2018-01-03* This game crashes at least once every session and then I loose the coins. Great game though ### 2/5 — Bon jeu *2017-12-29* Beaucoup de bugs ### 3/5 — Them Glitches!!!!! 😩 *2017-11-27* It's a good game but the glitches in this game are so annoying! I click on a match and sometimes it will get out of it and the tickets that I used on it will be gone. That's another thing too, the tickets. Why can't we play whenever we wan't? Why does this game have to limit us to 5 or less pool matches a day? You can't play without tickets, which is kind of dumb in my opinion. Like I said before, it's a good game. They just need to make improvements. ### 3/5 — Update *2017-10-18* The game needs to be updated for iOS 11(Mac)- to date no update available. ### 3/5 — Good game BUT *2017-10-01* Please update this game so that I and I am sure plenty others can play again Although I love this game and I think that it is the best pool app out there. It is very glitchy. I have had it boot me out of games where I have lost my tickets or forfeit my money in tournaments. Recently it went crazy where the balls were blinking all over the screen. I had to turn my phone off to correct the problem. It also constantly has server connection errors. I am still in love with this game but also frustrated. ### 2/5 — Crashes!! *2017-09-06* Even when my wifi is working fine the game drops in and out... then you lose the tickets or coins you spent on the game. ### 4/5 — Fun, addictive but has bugs. *2017-08-17* I have used this app for over year. It is fun and addicting. iPhone 6 & 7. Crashes occur when the pop-up ad comes up. Got kicked out of the finals when their ad caused the app to shut down. Happens fairly often. Levels don't help divide beginners from advanced players. Except for the free plays every day it is very expensive. Settle on what they give you then play some tournaments to win some playing cash. ### 5/5 — Review *2017-02-22* Love this game. The 9ball addition is a godsend. Don't make it a limited time option, it adds a whole new dimension to the game. Maybe add some 9 ball tournaments? ### 3/5 — Glitch! *2016-12-23* What the hell is wrong with this game recently?? It searches for opponents for aaaages and when you finally get one, it freezes in between turns. It seriously needs fixing. When it's working efficiently it's a great game 👍🏼 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2018-06-02* I played this game on my old phone and loved it! I can’t get it in my new phone though plz updates it ### 1/5 — Liza *2018-03-21* I love playing this game but there is a major issue , I have been playing this for so long but now I can’t play anymore plus I had spent over $50 for new credit and then my fone needed to be updated and now I can’t play anymore since the update and Apple say there’s nothing they can do as it’s the developers issue to update there game , now I can’t get my money back and can’t play ### 1/5 — Please update the damn game. *2018-03-12* Where is the update The game crashes too much and all progress gets lost. ### 1/5 — Not updated *2017-10-15* Please update for it to work with IOS 11 ### 1/5 — The kid *2017-10-02* Enjoy to play pool, but this game is forever forfeiting games, waiting for players, no server, kicks you out of games, when breaking it boots you off and lets opponent break. Whether you are playing your daily tickets or purchasing gems...7-8 out of 10 you get ripped off. Very unfortunate!...and now I’ve done the update and can’t even play...ripped or not...they appear to have left or ???...Come on get it together ### 1/5 — Why *2017-03-07* Why is it that I always get cheated" I know y'all most likely don't care about this cause it does affect you I'm thinking" I love this games graphics the only one that actually has that, I wish y'all would fix it so I can enjoy something I've been cheated numerous time I lost count" and my lost would be ridiculous but it isn't likewise for any of my opponents strange😳I hope one day y'all will become humans and actually do right but that seems to be a long stretch from now" y'all should be embarrassed creating something that supposed to be fun and making it into the devils play ground with computer cheats and glitches 🖕🏾 ### 1/5 — Fraud & Frustrating *2016-05-21* This game is cool if you don't mind playing with a computer.... It's computerized players that will act like they are loosing to keep you coming back! You need tickets to play and you can open up new tournaments every time I get to the tournament and win the game freezes up and kicks me back out without the prize! You can text your opponent but they come back with the came response which is ;) but text you all the time! Also they line the ball up in a matter of seconds hitting the shot on point only missing to make you think it's a true game! Haven't played with a person YET!! I'm only giving it a star because you have too in order to leave a comment 😤😡👎🏽 oh you have to wait once a day for tickets that you will eventually loose ### 1/5 — It's A Trap! *2015-12-01* By far the best graphics offered for a pool game but way too many issues. They screw you out of tickets and coins any way they can. You have to wait 20hrs to get your 55 ticket allowance and you can't even save them. If you try to they'll give you less the next time around. Mind you to play you can give up between 6-11 tickets in one go. You even have to use tickets in practice mode. As for the coins, I just entered a tournament with an entry fee of 600 coins and it kicked me out before it even began and I didn't get those tickets back. I rather settle for okay graphics then get duped by this crap game. Plus at least 1/2 of the players seem like computers. I NEVER write reviews, especially bad ones, but I had to for this game. ### 1/5 — Glitches *2015-06-10* This is a really fun game and the best pool game out there that I have tried. The major problem is that this game has too many glitches. The support is horrible. You need to wait a day to get more tickets, even with perfect internet connection the game stalls and your tickets or money get lost and it is especially frustrating in tournaments. Also sometimes waiting for opponents in tournaments and then after waiting for 20 minutes once you leave you loose your money that you used to enter the tournament. It is really a shame that such a fun game has so many glitches and lack of support. ### 1/5 — Annoying! *2014-06-04* Have moved to 8 ball pool by mini clip because you dont have to wait for coins so long! Alot better too. This app constantly crashes so many times when im about to win! Loved the game though but not worth the wait. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-05-26* It’s a great game but would be better if there was a text chat that you can type your own messages ### 5/5 — pool *2021-01-31* this game is really fun. ### 5/5 — Bira *2020-05-09* Very nice ### 5/5 — Update *2018-08-21* Please please update this app. I want to play. ### 5/5 — Love the game *2018-03-29* Very fun game! Too bad 90% of the time you need to play against the computer. tournament bug: So far 4 out of 6 times when in the final, the game will not progress to the actual game and leave you waiting for game to start. ### 5/5 — Review *2018-02-01* Love this game ### 5/5 — Great game!!! *2018-01-12* Fun almost the real thing ### 5/5 — Update needed!!! *2017-08-15* Developer please update your app, can no longer play now due to the new IOS, plus we need more levels it's been way to long since the last update. ### 5/5 — Clean fun *2017-07-24* So much stimulating,challenging clean fun. ### 5/5 — Happy *2017-03-02* Okay I love the game but when I'm a level 4 but I hate it when I'm put up against and player on level 23 or 24 that's not fair --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
