That would be awesome! ### 3/5 — Shady *2025-08-02, version 1.1.33* League pool player of 10+ years here. Questionable scratches giving “opponent” ball in hand. physics of the game just don’t make sense. Doesn’t pay out half the time when you win matches. Highly doubt I’m playing real online players a majority of the time as well. Had high hopes for this game but after a few days of playing I’m uninstalling. ### 2/5 — Honest Real Review. *2025-07-17* Good game. Was one of the only ones that you ACTUALLY played a game of billiards in, against another player for real winnings. But after recent, I’ve experienced an issue with my “Veteran” account so to speak. One I’ve made a lot of progress on, cues, winnings, etc. about 76$ in total on the account last I could actually load into it. Now I just load up to a “Tutorial” I may or may not have already seen when I first started the game. I’m not really sure if it was in the game when i started. But, nonetheless it tells you to click to quick aim your cue. So, you click. And nothing happens. Ever, nada. No help from support, and you name it I’ve tried it. Reset, delete, reinstall, clear cache, new apple account, etc. all of it. Nothing. Something ain’t right that’s all I can say. **Developer response:** Hi, there!

What happened? ### 4/5 — Freezing after Update *2025-06-20, version 1.1.33* I really love this game. But after the update this morning where you get the option to cash match or rank match. It’s freezing on the Home Screen. ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-06-07, version 1.1.33* So far enjoying enough to keep playing on the free side have not spent any money in game so far. ### 5/5 — Very entertaining. *2025-05-31, version 1.1.32* Good for beginners. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-05-31, version 1.1.32* This game is really fun! It’s based on skill and it does pay. ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT !! *2025-05-25, version 1.1.31* EXCELLENT !! ### 5/5 — Best game on The App store. *2025-05-25, version 1.1.31* Avia games are by far my favorite games. They are honest. They pay out within a day of requesting a payout. Unlike some of their competitors. I would only play Avia from now on. Go have fun and win lots of money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Marvin *2025-10-03, version 1.1.33* It’s awesome at first start but once u play a while/ maybe cash out a cool amount (u will get paid promptly) but that’s when the game changes I’m not top dog or anything but I’m not bad either and it’s like the game doesn’t allow u to make shots or forces u to scratch when u never should have. I know it sounds crazy but is it really ? Before I cashed out I maybe lost 19% of my matches, at most Now I lose 92% It ain’t cuz the ppl I’m playing r getting better ### 1/5 — No good *2025-09-21, version 1.1.33* Game no good it’s a cheat your not playing real people , it’s easy to see u win when they want you to other than that they shoot with no problem , but when it’s your shot u shoot and strike or u get a shot that’s impossible to make,…..this game is FAKE!!!! ### 1/5 — Cheated app *2025-08-20, version 1.1.33* Another cheated app, I win in the beginning but then the balls never line up to the 10 ever after the break. You don’t get add 3 to all pockets once you’re winning. I just want a fair app with real competition. All of a sudden the competition has the games of their lives so you don’t win money. Hopefully someone puts a stop like they did with fifa and madden because of unfair competition. Be warned ### 1/5 — Kattail *2025-07-30, version 1.1.33* I love this game, but I can’t play it because it won’t open. It’s stuck at 14%. Can you look why in your back door it would not open. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2025-07-19, version 1.1.33* This game is AI based you might think your playing someone else’s it your truly are playing a computer. They could at lest change the players name. I played the same guy for 3 games on 100 coins and won I moved up to 1000 coins same guy then I move up to a $2 game then guess what???? Yup you got it same guy woke me back to back I had not ever a shoot. Don’t invest your time to a fraudulent game. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-07-14, version 1.1.33* It’s all a scam but is better than a ball strike and actually let you win money sometimes ### 1/5 — Drops games from server *2025-06-22, version 1.1.33* Fun game. Real chance of winning except when it disconnects from their server. It happens way too much in the middle of a money game and gives it away to the loser. I have great WiFi and cell. Either one drops for no reason. Fix your server. I think you don’t have enough bandwidth. I cashed out $20 in real cash and forfeit $18 in bonus cash to only get paid $5. No idea how that math works. Do NOT invest in this game. ### 1/5 — Update -disaster *2025-06-19, version 1.1.33* I used to love this game, but the latest update makes it similar to the other billiard games that I’ve never cared for and why I used to play this game over those. Big bummer! And now the game not working at all. Mass failure. And the support page is also not working, so can’t even report the issues. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2025-06-08, version 1.1.33* The game doesn’t work after the recent update fix it please ### 1/5 — Bot *2025-06-08, version 1.1.33* This game when you enter the game where you bet 0.30 they use a bot they don’t let you win they are not convenient for them just like real money when you have won a lot they put a bot with a strange name so that you lose it is a trash app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Real money cash game no bulsh*t!!! *2025-09-28, version 1.1.33* I absolutely love this game have cashed out twice on my other account! It's so fun and it always has something new ! Thank he only thing is when u win on some of the side games it says it gives u the money but it doesn't ! But all in all it's a trust worthy game and it all no all says and does what they say! Thank u ### 5/5 — BIGGEST FAN 100% *2025-08-29, version 1.1.33* Loved it! 1000 stars from me 😊 ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!!! *2025-08-04, version 1.1.33* I never write reviews, but this app 100% deserves it. I’ve tried a bunch of real-money game apps over the past month, and this one easily takes the cake. You can tell it’s legit—none of that bot nonsense you feel in other games. The only other app that even comes close is Triumph, but that one’s more of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none. Their pool is alright, but this? This feels next level. Just wanted to say—keep this up. You’re doing great. One suggestion that would make this my one and only pool app: maybe add a friend system, a chat feature, and some kind of daily free bet or bonus game? No idea if that’s possible, but it’d be 🔥. —Kurphew ### 5/5 — Ball Cracking Fun *2025-07-14, version 1.1.33* This game is legit and I’m even clapping felt rolling, pole tapping, ball Sinkers for real cash!!!!! ### 5/5 — Love this game format. *2025-07-14, version 1.1.33* Great graphics! ### 5/5 — Try it *2025-07-07, version 1.1.33* Good game to play and earn a lil change ### 5/5 — Bout as good as I’ve found *2025-07-02* I’m not a big review writer. The only reason I’m writing this one is because there are lots of folks calling the game “unfair”. My experience has been Win some lose some. I’ve played for a while and played other pool games a good bit. I’d say playing me will not be an easy win, but i do get beat. Whether it’s a real person or an AI robot is anybody’s guess. I get on hot streaks and also get cold streaks, but there are lots of bonus bucks handed out, no schedule. They just say here ya go, sorry bout the bad beat,,,,, or something to that nature. Soooo, the main topic! Withdrawls. If you play, and win a couple before moving to the next increased stakes offer to build a bankroll and you do eventually increase stakes after you build a cushion. So you win some $5 matches then $10’s and then win 2-3 $20 matches,,,,,,, cash out! If you do keep playing, you WILL lose. So rack up $30-$50 and WITHDRAW the balence, and they will Pay you out! Sometimes it takes a few days (which I feel is uncalled for) but after a few Withdrawls they speed it up Aside from holding the deposits it’s as good as you’ll find. You won’t win them all but you can withdraw enough tou **Developer response:** Hi, thank you very much for your comment. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. This game is a skill-based platform where you can compete with other players and win real cash by playing games. We look forward to bringing you the best experience possible. ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2025-06-22, version 1.1.33* This is a fun game. It is so addicting. I lost $40 playing but Ive had the opportunity to win $30. It is based off of skills. When I do win something the app pays you within a day. ### 5/5 — So far *2025-06-20, version 1.1.33* Good game so far. ### 5/5 — One of my iPad mini favs *2025-06-18, version 1.1.33* Quit looking like you don’t play pool. Pick up a stick and get to work. You know you want to…. On second thought, I’d hat e Ito crush any self esteem you may still have, thinking your gonna beat me…. Ha ha ha. Seriously? You can’t touch this Seriously. you’re always welcome to try., of course.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
