## What is Booble (for petanque game)?

*** This is a free version of the PREMIUM paid one ***
The Booble app allows you to automatically measure the distance between the boules and the jack during a pétanque game.
Its interface is extremely simple and intuitive:
 1.  The picture is taken automatically using the embedded bubble level.
 2.  One only has to touch the boules and the jack on the screen and the application will automatically – through advanced visual recognition algorithms used in the industry - locate them.
 3.  The ranking order appears in real-time.
 4.  If necessary, manual adjustments are possible: the boules rankings will then automatically and dynamically adjust.
A zoom mode allows the user to validate the measurements' accuracy.
The app allows up to 6 boules to be simultaneously measured.
Booble is available in French, English, Spanish and German.

### 1/5 — Leider zu viel Werbung

*2026-06-04*

Funktioniert eigentlich ganz gut, aber viel zu viel Werbung. Und auch etwas umständlich.

### 5/5 — Beim Boulspiel

*2026-01-31*

Einfache Bedienung. Bei größeren Abständen sind die Arme zu kurz 😜

### 5/5 — Je m’en sers régulièrement au début, c’est pas évident mais bon application

*2025-10-09*

Un peu trop de pub

### 2/5 — Rarely works

*2025-07-30*

I loaded the app and tested it out at home with a few balls on the floor and it worked great and I was very impressed. However, once I got it on a bocce court, and was trying to measure balls in the middle of an actual game, it worked one out of every 10 times… It ended up causing great frustration. This would be a great app if it worked consistently, but it currently does not.

### 1/5 — Zu viel Werbung

*2025-07-12*

Andauernd kommt eine Temu Werbung. Das ist im Spiel nicht ertragbar. Ich habe die App wieder deinstalliert.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2025-06-17*

So much easier than kneeling in the dirt with a string measure, and quick to use once you have set it up. A bit tricky in the sun.

### 5/5 — Quelle application !

*2024-09-15*

Sans exagération : ma vie a changé depuis que j’ai découvert Booble. Avant je n’étais pas le gars populaire, le gars qui avait ce petit truc en plus. Depuis, j’ai trouvé l’amour, j’ai un CDI, je gagne à la pétanque… 
En un mot : merci ❤️

**Developer response:** Sans exagération : probablement le plus beau commentaire jamais reçu ... joli cadeau pour les 10 ans de Booble sur l'App Store - merci !

### 5/5 — Pétanque

*2024-05-17*

Nice

### 5/5 — Un must

*2023-08-15*

Super. Toutefois, un peu difficile de revenir pour prendre une autre mesure.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis. Qu'entendez-vous par "revenir pour prendre une autre mesure" ? Est-ce effacer les boules positionnées ? ... ou reprendre une photo ? N'hésitez pas à nous joindre par mail : booble@matole.fr

### 5/5 — Super application 👍

*2023-07-17*

Adieu les mesures incertaines au raz du sol avec le risque de bouger boules et cochonnet !
Un vrai plaisir à utiliser 😀.
Même mon beau père de 93 ans est « presque » conquis et accepte le résultat sans me sortir son mètre d’un autre siècle !
Bravo pour ce beau développement !

**Developer response:** Super commentaire 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - on apprécie ++++ - Bel été avec notre app. BOOBLE Team.
