### 5/5 — Can someone get the old version and the HD back?

*2025-08-20, version 1.24.1*

Because I have not played the old version in a while.

### 4/5 — Challenges

*2025-03-30, version 1.24.1*

This bowling game is great but it is really hard to earn coins after when you get perfect scores due to it saying  get today high score which is impossible because I already got the perfect score.

### 3/5 — Fun but i miss the original.

*2025-03-26, version 1.24.1*

I played this game when i was really young and it brings back so much nostalgia, but i miss the original, it was so much better back then and i just wish it was still the same or at least similar.

### 4/5 — Came for nostalgia

*2024-05-13, version 1.22.26*

I played this game in 2011 or so, it was really cutting edge back then running on an iPod. Not the best game 13 years later, but it’s still nice for a bit of nostalgia

### 1/5 — Cheats

*2024-02-04, version 1.22.26*

Pin action is unbelievable, scores cheat in player vs player

### 1/5 — The worst

*2022-05-01, version 1.22.25*

The graphics are trash, every thine is the Same, nothing different, this game suxS

### 2/5 — Basically a worse version of the original

*2020-07-31, version 1.20.1*

The original functions much better and there isn't anything new in this game. Didn't there used to be a trivia mode in here too?

### 1/5 — Not happy been playing for more than 20yrs?

*2020-06-03, version 1.20.1*

I see you fixed the ghost pins and thank you.
but I also noticed you change the strike zone? I would ave 230 then once in a while get perfect score !! Know can’t get over 190 you changed a fun game to a frustrating game it sure is funny how you can get a strike on the first throw the 2&3 maybe get a spare !! There got to be thousands of other players filling the same? and we can’t check and see are total score!! The position of over all statues I was somewhere around 460 something, I don’t remember the total of pins ? why have changed the game your gold coins not a challenge!! I have sent Emails several times and got no response!! Is this what you think of the people that download your apps!! If there were any better bowling apps out !! a lot bowling fans would be moving on!! I myself have been a loyal supporter more 20yr’s 5 to 6 different phones? I’m frustrated no one has taken the time and listen to your multiple supporters out there!!🤨

### 3/5 — Ads must go away now

*2019-03-10, version 1.11.4*

How much does the remove ads thing cost? Please tell me by aide then I can find out.

### 1/5 — Last update ruined the game

*2019-02-16, version 1.11.4*
