### 4/5 — Best Tennis Mobile Game in the Market!

*2023-01-21, version 2.0.2*

This is honestly the best tennis mobile game out here. However there are some improvements and updates we’d like to see such as maybe the tennis grunts, the gear for the players such as ball caps just to be a little bit more accurate and also the trophies…I’ve won all four grand slams and the only accurate trophy is the AO trophy the others are just random. We’d love to see it just a little bit more accurate to be a better games

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2022-07-27, version 2.0.2*

Even though I can beat all the players easy, I think I’d like it better if it had Instant Replay. Some of the serves which were called out are questionable, I think. Otherwise, great job! Also, it would be great if you could rise in rank. No matter what you do, your position in draws never changes.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2022-02-22, version 2.0.2*

Really enjoy this game. They need to update it really bad tho. Need to update the rankings and more little things in it

### 1/5 — Nice Game Except For Perpetual Crashes

*2021-03-26, version 2.0.2*

I can get halfway through a tournament before the game will continue to crash at the same point. I’ve tried multiple attempts at resolving the issue with no luck. It’s a shame since otherwise the game is enjoyable.

### 1/5 — As game progresses, the controls get less responsive

*2021-02-26, version 2.0.2*

As I progress through the tournament mode, on various occasions, and get to the later rounds, the controls get less responsive. When I attempt to place a shot to the right, it goes left or straight, and vice versa. It’s as if they don’t want you to win. Garbage app!

### 1/5 — Why bother

*2020-12-27, version 2.0.2*

Graphics are Amazing everything else is awful.  Where is Serena and Maria ???  To slow to be fun and the all the the ball land in and are topspin balls.  No way to flatten out your shots.  The backhand stroke is a pitiful mess to say the least.  Please please please get with the developers of “Cross Court Tennis” about how they created actual movement of players and ball striking with the toggle.  Please because right now no real tennis player would find this fun at all 

yawn.

### 4/5 — Not that bad but it needs work

*2020-09-10, version 2.0.2*

Do you need a Lotta updates but it’s good. What I think you should put a store in the game. Are used joystick and every time I press the joystick it does not work. The tennis players serve big serve I think that is good.

### 5/5 — Please use Buttons instead of swipe

*2020-09-07, version 2.0.2*

If this game had buttons, instead of swipe it would be the best tennis game on the app. Please put Buttons in this game, other than that this game is awesome! Thanks developers!

### 5/5 — Needs a update

*2020-09-03, version 2.0.2*

This game is awesome I love how it’s realistic and fun but there need to be more tournaments like (US Open) and maybe for the customization you could add Nike,Under Armour, Fila, Adidas and when ever I win my first tournament and was unranked so I think maybe we ever you win tournaments you should move up a rank or something and also there is also the same people in each tournament .

### 5/5 — Why people think it is the worst game

*2020-08-21, version 2.0.2*

You think it is the worst game because you don’t follow the instructions you swipe left to hit to the left swipe down to drop shot and lob swipe right to hit to the right tap the place or circle to serve to that spot then that is it it is a great game!
