This game still appears to be getting updated, but there hasn’t been anything added that I can see a note in quite some time. There are some tables and a pirate theme that you can purchase, but those have been around since I purchased this a few few years. Please consider adding more. ### 4/5 — Review *2026-07-12, version 1.27.3* I get bored after 5 min ### 4/5 — Overall satisfactory *2026-03-09, version 1.26.8* Would love to see more table/ball customization options. Otherwise, love it ### 5/5 — Fun Game for all ages *2025-10-29, version 1.25.2* I have been playing this for quite some time and it is really a Fun Game for all ages. It just one of those mindless games that you don’t have to think about too hard when playing, and I believe there are no ads ### 3/5 — Stuck on level 9 *2025-10-07, version 1.25.1* Scored double and Tripple more then the goal needed many times on level 9 and collected all stars and still won’t me move forward ### 5/5 — I LOVE Ball- Hop Bowling! *2025-10-06, version 1.25.1* I am Glad Someone decided to make a Ski Ball Game! I learned Ski Ball as a kid watching a Lady at Kennywood Play it. I got into the habit of bringing Tons of Quarters to Play! I won Starboard and Port Oil Lamps made like a Ships Lanterns! I won a Gargoyle, I still have these things! But a Video Game is Awesome! I usually use a Stylus but not for this Game. I like I can toss the stylus aside for awhile. Thank you for Creating This Game! ### 5/5 — Game review *2025-10-06, version 1.25.1* Great game! Good graphics & simple to play. A+ ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-09-15, version 1.25.1* I’m not trying to be rude or anything, but is the next what is the next update 1 to 3 you need to use your iOS version 216 ### 3/5 — Maybe it gets better? *2025-09-15, version 1.25.1* I I didn't think it came with ads when you're paying for Apple Arcade. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-08-14, version 1.25.0* Reminds me of the real game 👍 ### 4/5 — Fun game *2025-07-12, version 1.24.15* The game is quite fun. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. But there are ads after every play and I can’t even skip most of them. It gets extremely annoying. ### 4/5 — Level three is impossible for me *2025-06-27, version 1.24.14* Level three was really hard for me and I also kind of like the game, so yeah It’s fun but hard but you could do the free one like weren’t you just Roll balls and not a level so ### 2/5 — Ads in the way *2025-06-10, version 1.24.14* This game would be fun if I could see the score when playing. The scoreboard is hidden by the ad banner. Very disappointing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sneaky Devs *2026-07-27, version 1.27.4* I’ve been playing this game since my iPod Touch 4G and I periodically check my privacy and security settings and noticed that this app secretly turns on access to your files and folders which it never did in all the years I’ve played it. Why does an OLD Skee- Ball game need access to your folder and files?? So sick of all these sneaky devs- you’ve lost a LONG time player. INSTANT delete!! ### 1/5 — loved it now crashes *2026-07-27, version 1.27.4* also - used to work also without a wi fi signal basics ### 1/5 — Obnoxious ads! *2026-07-09, version 1.27.3* Redownloaded for nostalgia, played two games, got ads after both of them, instant delete. How did the developers anticipate making money when the experience is the obnoxious? ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-02-15, version 1.26.6* You get a ad every 30 seconds ### 1/5 — Really??? *2025-12-29, version 1.26.4* I love the game but having to watch an add after every single game is just too much. It just takes all the fun out of it. I realize you need to make money but geez ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing *2025-07-26, version 1.24.15* The game on my phone keeps crashing because maybe it was too old for now. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-06-10, version 1.24.14* There are ads on screen while you play, an ad after every game. You are constantly assaulted by ads every second you play. It’s a fun game if you actually got to play a little consistently, but the ads ruin it. I had to delete the app. ### 1/5 — Deleted right away! *2025-04-14, version 1.24.13* TOO MANY ADS! I couldn’t even get past a single level without ads popping up NOPE! Deleted it right away I’m not going to watch an ad every 30 seconds. ### 1/5 — Level 9?? *2025-02-18, version 1.24.12* I liked the game until I got to level 9. I’ve repeatedly scored high and it never advances to level 10! Is there a trick I don’t know about?! I’ve scored as much as 1000 points and I’m still stuck on level 9. Anyone else? ### 1/5 — Fun game *2024-11-07, version 1.24.6* I love the game but there is way too many ads its annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Debut *2026-05-27, version 1.27.2* It’s the best game ever but hate the adds ### 5/5 — I love this game so much. *2026-04-29, version 1.27.1* I love this game so much. ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2026-04-27, version 1.27.1* Although Skee Ball still exists today, this app stirs up some of the best memories for me. My dad taught me how to play and where to bank the ball for the best play. It works on this game as well. I will say that it’s definitely worth a couple of bucks to get rid of the ads. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-25, version 1.27.1* So good because you get to practice ### 5/5 — Average Joe *2026-03-16, version 1.26.8* Cool game, don’t understand how I get to next level after I win for awhile, but I enjoy skeeball ### 5/5 — So good *2026-02-01, version 1.26.5* The best game ever ### 5/5 — Time killer *2026-01-14, version 1.26.4* Game is very addictive and will have your battery going low ### 5/5 — Ball hop bowling *2025-12-28, version 1.26.4* it was really nice to play the game instead of just going to a arcade and just buying tickets instead you can do it on your phone ### 5/5 — Cool fun. *2025-11-17, version 1.26.2* Fun and. Cool 🤣😂 ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-11-04, version 1.26.1* Once the iOS 26 deadline passes, apps that haven’t updated will not receive any new security updates from Apple. So, it’s essential for apps to stay current to maintain their security and functionality. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
