### 2/5 — Sem título / Ler Avaliação

*2026-01-25*

O jogo e as interfaces até são legais ! No jogo offline já ganhei de todos adversários nas temporadas 1 e 2 e mesmo assim não me liberara a temporada 3 ! No jogo online, nenhum outro usuário conecta para uma partida !

### 2/5 — Hack

*2025-08-29, version 3.5*

Some players will toss the Palina to the lowest part of the surface then toss their ball the same way.  The opposing player can’t follow suit or hit the Palina.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2024-10-20*

I love it, but please, don’t let people cancel while they’re in. Or let them loose the bet and the opponent win their points. It happens that I get 10+ cancels before I can play a game. This is so frustrating…

### 2/5 — Has potential

*2022-01-11*

The multiplayer does not work well. It takes forever to find a player. Why is it ok for level 900+ players to be playing a level 1?

### 1/5 — Disappointed with updates

*2021-10-12*

The updates made make the game worse. It was 5 points to win, now it’s only 4.  It should be a higher number so one player can’t sweep in one inning. The option to rematch was removed which is a bad update. You can no longer send comments to your opponent. The courses are the same with no new ones added. Very disappointed with the changes.

### 1/5 — I pay lot $ lot hacker

*2021-09-03*

I whant to play and évent i Wix lot of personne hack.,,,,

### 1/5 — Papa de Mohammed

*2021-05-13*

A cause de se joue Mohammed a pris un boule à décathlon et la lancer sur sa sœur de 4 ans maintenant c’est légume sur pattes!!

### 3/5 — Eigentlich gut von der Idee

*2021-01-31*

Aber online kommt man gegen beliebige Gegner und die Stufen stimmen nicht und auf der Bahn am Wasser wird über den Pfosten geschummelt.

5Sterne wenn das behoben Wir 👍🏻

### 3/5 — Slow player

*2020-12-17, version 3.1*

Due to very slow or no player to play against I switch off and play some other game

### 1/5 — Y’a encore des joueurs ?

*2020-10-28*

Y’a encore des joueurs ....

### 4/5 — Fun Game but Beware, Bad Sports Abound!

*2020-08-28*

This game is fun and addicting. The downside for players in North America is that there’s not enough players online when we’re awake. The other issue is something the developers should address, which is that many players will challenge you to a game and then not play. They sit there and wait for you to quit so they can win the match and coins. I’ve had opponents sit there for an hour trying to win the match by default. There should be a timeout and the player who doesn’t take their turn should be disqualified. Otherwise, gameplay is very fun.

### 4/5 — Great Game to learn how to play!

*2020-05-22*

The opponent search is slow and hit and miss gameplay but the game is fun and will teach you the sport. Not enough people play the game yet and hope it gets more downloads for more competition. The season play is short only two so far but hopefully more to come. It’s challenging and strategic planning is the key to winning. It’s definitely easy to operate and is easy to pick up and play a quick game! So download the game everyone to make for better gaming and competition!!

### 3/5 — Avis

*2020-04-20*

Jeu trop lent.
De plus par moment il beugle,et du coup vous vous faites voler le résultat.

### 2/5 — Cheats

*2020-03-24, version 3.1*

You’ve got to finish the app for one thing.   Next, who monitors this for all the cheats?   It’s ridiculous.   They can’t win off skill so they steal from you on a rematch.  I see others complaining of this a YEAR ago.  What’s up?

### 2/5 — Jeu de pétanque loin de la réalité

*2020-01-28*

Quand on touche les bordures la boule devrait être annulée.
Avec ce jeu on est plus prêt du jeu de billard.

### 3/5 — Please spell CONTINUE correctly!

*2020-01-22, version 3.1*

Simple but lots of fun. No idea how you can move beyond level 11.

### 2/5 — Not impressed

*2019-09-07, version 3.1*

Graphics are okay but scenery doesn’t change. Multiple obvious spelling errors in the messages. Separate ‘seasons’ without explanation of how to advance beyond the second. Oh well.

### 1/5 — Bocce Dude

*2026-08-04, version 3.5*

They changed the game shots it sucks now.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-06-23*

I have an iPhone 14 and had this app for many years.
After the most recent update, the Bocce 3-D app will not allow access to the game it says
‘ something went wrong try again’.
Further, there is no way to contact Support to resolve this matter.

### 1/5 — P

*2026-03-13*

Mode en ligne nul , les 3/4 des joueur savent pas jouer sans ce servir des mur de chaque coter , j’appelle pas ça un jeux de pétanque. J’ai désinstaller des la 3 iem partie jouer.

### 1/5 — En colère

*2024-09-25*

Bravo pour votre avis le jeu est bien fait en lui même par contre il faut imperméable faire quelques choses pour les tricheurs qui sont de plus en plus nombreux et qui vous font perdre beaucoup de monde j’avais joué il y a quelques années et le chiffre de participation était énorme aujourd’hui vous faites de moins en moins participant vraiment Dommage.
AVIS :
Le jeu mérite sûrement 4 ou 5 étoiles mais malheureusement………
Je trouve le jeu très agréable je joue depuis des années , malheureusement les trois quarts des joueurs joue les bandes de côté et il est très rare de ne pas perdre beaucoup trop simple pour les tricheurs en plus qu’ils ne gagnent rien . J’aimerais que la bande soit éliminatoire comme à la pétanque le jeu en deviendrais beaucoup plus logique et réaliste . 
Voilà sûrement un coup pour rien mais je pense pas être le seul qui pense comme moi

### 1/5 — Cheats

*2023-05-01*

For Gods sake, will you stop allowing cheats to throw the ball outside the play area. They are idiots who can only win by cheating!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Ehh

*2023-01-21*

Starts out fun, but the multiplayer is ridiculous when you’ve played twice and are being matched against people at level 10!  The local play is good, but gets old quickly

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2023-01-04*

По сети невозможно играть

### 1/5 — not an accurate representation of the game compared to actual sport

*2022-12-23*

horrible representation of a great game

### 1/5 — Injouable

*2022-11-20*

Le jeu est bien mais est complètement injouable 
Le mode carrière ne fais gagner pratiquement pas de pièces, les boules disponible dans la boutique coûte bien trop chère et c’est sans parler de l’absence total d’équilibrage des niveaux en multijoueurs, je suis niveau 3 et je ne fais que de tomber face à des niveaux 100+ 
Excellent téléchargement pour casser son téléphone je recommande autrement économisez votre espace de stockage.

### 1/5 — Et les règles du jeu et morale ????

*2022-07-18*

Une boule qui touche et bord dois être éliminé, mais surtout une chose pour les concepteurs du jeu, comment un niveau 19 peut battre un de niveau 856 ou même 450 avec leurs petit points au bout de la flèche de tire, vous pourriez pas faire en sorte d’équilibrer les niveaux ????!!!! Style maximum 80 niveau de différence !!!

### 5/5 — Bocce

*2020-06-13, version 3.1*

Well done lots of fun, just trying to figure out how you advance .  Otherwise lots of fun

### 5/5 — É muito bom o jogo

*2019-04-17*

Jogo é ótimo mas melhorem a parte da conexão, a demora para jogar com alguém online atrapalha na experiência de jogo e faz com que acabe fechando e indo embora, e seria ótimo também uma conexão para os amigos... se conseguirem resolver apenas a parte da conexão mais rápida com outros jogadores já está ótimo
