I’m on iPhone XS Max ### 1/5 — Froze and took my tickets *2017-04-30* Not happy the game froze then took all my red tickets and I profited nothing. ### 2/5 — Okay... not great though *2016-12-05* So I gave this game a 2 star rating. Why? When you first start the game, you start out with 300 tokens. One would think that you could earn more tokens, or receive tokens each day. Nope, this game makes you buy tokens after you use the 300 that they give you. That should not be how it is. Other than that, you can play the game for free, but you won't win any tickets. So I guess it's an okay game if you're just looking to pass some time, but I really don't think you should have to pay for tokens after you use up the 300 they give you. ### 1/5 — One star for a reason *2016-08-13* I got free tickets to play in tournaments and I roll the ball the same way every time and for some reason I make 2 or 3 then miss every one after that this game is so rigged it knows what score it's going to let you get the second the game starts ### 2/5 — Ok but... *2016-01-23* Its an OK game. Good for killing time in a long line at the grocery store. Ads are an overkill and its the same one over and over with Arnold the terminator guy...boring!! Basically you are trying to get money to decorate your personal room. All the cool stuff is an unrealistic obtainable amount unless you are willing to put your own money into getting coins/tickets, so the game does get boring after a while. It does have a lot of potential with a few changes. ### 1/5 — Now What? *2016-01-03* I've used all my tokens, now what? I have to pay money now? At least offer free tokens daily. ### 1/5 — Can't win but good *2015-05-09, version 3.0.3* Can't win in tournament. Be graphics are good. ### 3/5 — Ugh *2015-04-17* I really loved this game until I entered the American Cup. Everytime I made it to the final the game bugged out. It ruined the chance for me to win and ruined the chance to get the gift cards. Please fix this. I've lost 7 gif cards because of this glitch. ### 1/5 — Just crashes *2015-03-10, version 3.0.1* Crashes immediatly upon launching. ### 1/5 — terrible horrible distrusting app *2015-02-22, version 2.1.1* this is an app that u can not trust ### 1/5 — Give us back our data!!!!!! *2015-01-11, version 2.1.1* This game is impossible to play without buying coins because you run out wayyyyyyyy too quickly. Only 1 Star cause you can't rate it zero! ### 2/5 — App Crashs *2015-01-04, version 2.1.1* The game is kool, but it keeps crashing on my IPhone 6 Plus ### 2/5 — Would've been great if...... *2014-12-14, version 2.1.1* I love this game but it glitches in the online matches and everytime u swipe to score your menu pops up messes everything up ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug was not fixed *2021-02-10* I got the app n played it half a day but will not even open now to play it?? ### 1/5 — Was great when it worked! *2020-01-30* I just found this game...again after having deleted it a while ago. I remember I loved it and had quite the collection of items for my room. I was looking forward to playing again, but I guess it’s not working anymore. ### 1/5 — Constant crashing *2019-10-23* I was excited to see what this game is, but I couldn't even get past the beginning because of the app constantly crashing. It crashes EVERY time I try to enter my room/play my machine - without fail. It also crashes randomly throughout other attempts at gameplay. I have the latest version of IOS, so it could be a compatibility issue, but I'm deleting the app for now until I know it will actually function properly. ### 1/5 — WHAT THE HECK *2019-06-29* I can’t even play the dang game every time I tap to play it exits out immediately and I tried re starting my phone but nothing happened ### 1/5 — Help *2019-02-17* It keeps closing out when I try to go to the cage to roll the balls ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-05-13* Have yet to play. Constantly crashing. Deleting! ### 1/5 — IAP sales model is a disaster, which accounts for the poor reviews *2017-07-22* I used to really like this game back when it gave free daily tokens. But it was easily exploited and it was easy to get hundreds of free tokens, so the developers just did away with the rewards completely. But if these guys are creative enough to make this game, I'm sure they're creative enough to come up with a daily rewards system that isn't so easily exploited. Maybe reward people with tokens for watching ads. There are many games with IAPs, that don't force you to spend money just to play (and most of them desist the adware if you spend money 😳). That's just being greedy, flooding paying users with adware, after you're already getting money from IAPs. • Even if someone buys an IAP (in-app-purchase) they continue to get flooded with adware. For gosh sake, if someone is spend money on an IAP, you should desist the adware. • Most mobile games have a better sales model. They allow you to progress slowly without IAPs, but have IAPs to speed up your progress, if you get antsy and want to get stuff faster. But with this game, in order to progress at all, you HAVE to regularly shell out money: if you can't afford to spend money to get tokens or are on a family phone plan and aren't allowed to buy stuff, there's no point in playing. • There's no iCloud save our backup, so if you get a new phone, you lose all your progress and have to start all over again and feed your credit card into the game to progress. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2017-07-06* Game just crashes and wont start... moving on to the next one ### 1/5 — Can't even play it. *2017-06-10* Every time I go to play a game of skee ball in any mode the app instantly crashes. Waste of of space on your phone. Delete it now. ### 1/5 — Unstable app *2017-05-05* Game crashes consistently after launching the main menu. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — good *2026-05-26* Great game I love it it’s back baby ### 5/5 — Please come back *2023-02-26* Please please please come back to this game! It’s amazing the best skew ball game out there. I wanted to transfer my purchases and items but there wasn’t an option. The app is also not on fb active anymore according to your app. How do I get my items that are no longer available back? It’s nostalgic and I miss it! Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — podia corrigir para iphone!! *2020-04-19* não inicia o jogo, apesar de gostar muito, já joguei na época do ipod, podia resolver isso!!! ### 5/5 — I am done *2019-10-30* It keeps crashing and I want it to be fixed soon please ### 5/5 — American Ball *2017-07-26* I love SKEE BALL, SO I LOVE THIS GAME ! Wish Daily games weren't so hard to play . . . ### 5/5 — Love *2017-07-05* Wish it didn't cost so many tickets for decoration items but it's still really fun to play. ### 5/5 — How to earn tickets *2017-05-20* You have to move from your skee ball room to the game of the day to the tournament room as you alternate rooms and go back to your skee ball machine you will get random tickets almost every time you go back. Sometimes yellow tickets for free spins, red tickets for game of the day, skee ball tickets or tokens for you to shop with. You also get a game of the day free everyday. It will show that you have no tickets but push on game of the day and it will work. It took me a while to figure all this out good luck ### 5/5 — SOS READ SOS *2014-06-07, version 2.1.0* Very good game get it please! ### 5/5 — Gotta love it *2014-04-13, version 2.0.4* You will have the reality of being on live slots at the casino. ### 5/5 — Great game *2014-03-24, version 2.0.4* Really like the game just got it but need to know how do you get tokens without paying for them. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
