The graphics are great and you don’t need to spend money if you don’t want to. I have to say I’m not only disappointed that the game is being discontinued in May, but in order for us to continue playing until the end they have taken all our chips away that we earned over the years, and have made us start over at level 1. Our friends have also been taken away that we have played with for so long. You can’t register with Facebook because the app isn’t working. I have to say I’m sorry to see you leave us and I’m also sorry to see how you have ended your game. There is no fun in playing it anymore. ### 1/5 — The Bowling King *2024-02-01* So I’ve been playing this game for about 4 months and over the 4 years the game has crashed and after reporting this issue nothing was done and I eventually had to delete the game and start all over. So today I went to play the game yesterday I see the user name I used to sign into that game and I saw a pop up that said would you like to sign into Facebook to save your progress? So I tapped the Facebook option and I got a pop us the said the game is not active and the developer is aware of it and you will be able to reactivate the game when the issue is fixed. So that’s what happened a few times over the years and I deleted my account after waiting like 3 months and nothing was fixed so as of right now I see a blank profile picture where I used to see my real picture of me and I see everybody’s profile also being blank. So I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone because I have spent a lot of money over the years on a game that seems to crash and not get fixed. I also pay $99 every year to keep my membership to this game that’s obviously run by no one because again I reported this issue several times even though I see that the game is not active and will be reactivated as soon as the problem is resolved. ### 5/5 — I love you 💕❤️😘 *2024-02-01* How are you doing today? I’m not feeling well. Haven’t for a few days now. I have a Doctors appointment today. Anyway, seriously how are you doing these days? I always pray 🙏🏻 that you are well and healthy. When I feel this sick 😷. I’m not very talkative. Right now I’m able to setup and play your game. You know what? I can’t see why I should buy anything. Because of what’s going on with me and my health problems. Besides that I’m afraid to use my bank card. Every time I use it. I’m having to have it replaced again. For some reason it gets to where I cannot use it anymore. So I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ what to do about it. It’s apparently not important to use it anymore. How’s your family doing theses days? Hope all is well. You take good care of yourself and your family love you 😍. By the way thank you 🙏🏻 for your support and prayers. It means a lot to me. Take care sweetheart love you so much. 💕🤴🏽💕🙌🤴🏽🙌💗🕊️♾️♾️🙏🏻♾️♾️ ### 5/5 — Best game ever. *2024-01-30* How are you doing today? I know you don’t understand what I’m going through. And how it makes me feel every day and night. Heck I don’t even know half the time. But it’s a regular thing for me to go through. Please don’t take it personally if you can. Which I’m sure you can. I truly don’t know what else to say to you about all that stuff. Not knowing is what’s getting me down. Hopefully 🤞🏻 I’ll find out soon 🔜. Anyway I’m sorry for my ignorance. I put it that way because it’s true. Seems like 👍🏻 anymore I have to apologize to everyone. I’m so tired 😪. I’m just a human being. Anyway I love you so much. You take care of yourself and your family too. Now I’m going to go back and bowl some more if you don’t mind me asking. 💕🕊️♾️🙌🤴🏽🙌💕♾️ ### 3/5 — Bowling King *2023-12-04* Bowling king is a good App. It has its problems like anything else does. But you can win many games on it. When I bowl now I'm there for myself. I should never have told you how I feel about you. I thank you when you are good to me. B U T !!!! 💔❤️‍🔥 when you make me loose when any other times you wouldn't do that to me. Especially when I know I wouldn't have lost the game. That's consider cheating. I wished I didn't care so much for you. Because I'm so easily hurt. But that doesn't seem to matter at the times you do that stuff to me. Is it because it's someone that you care more about ?? . I'm already worried and scared of what I'm gonna go thru on Tuesday morning. That's why I keep busy something that I take very seriously. I just plain love bowling. I'll try not get so upset when you do that stuff to me. Even when o know it's done to know fault of my own. I'll do my best like I said. When you do that I just won't come back for a long while. Have wonderful night. ### 5/5 — Love the game *2023-10-26* How are you doing? Wonderful I hope. 👍🏻 I noticed in the last couple that things are different between you an I. I do know that you have not been to proud of me. ( if ever ) and why I'm saying that, is because how I have reacted to things that I felt. You just can't be me and know what all I've been thru. Just like I cannot know how and what you've been thru. So I feel that your feelings for me has died. I deserve that. I'll say that because you would probably agree with me on that. Another reason is that you don't send me a notification for my hearts ❤️. You've went way out for me. And for as long as I live I will be forever grateful to you. I will love you tell I die. Forgive me for the things that I've done wrong to you. 🌹🤴🏽💋🙏🏻💞🕊️♾♾♾ ### 5/5 — Your to good *2023-10-19* Sorry ! Hope you are doing good. Thank you for what you have done&doing for me. But I'm very confused tho. I've not been bowling Or anything else good . Due to not my own fault. I'm going thru a lot of withdrawals. From not get my medication's. It's not my Dr's fault either. It's the Phamacy doings. Their not filling my prescriptions. But they tell me their not get my prescription's from my Dr. And that's not true. They've tried now for the 4th time and again today. I see my new Dr tomorrow afternoon. She's here where I'm living at now. My old Dr has been trying to help me. She's a blessing you know. Sorry for being such a mean person. But I'm not mean. Just very down you know. Hopefully my new Dr we'll help me out with this stuff. You know my feelings for you. Without me saying anything. 🌹😘💞🕊️♾♾🙏🏻♾♾ ### 5/5 — I've known for sometime now. *2023-09-15* Yeah you've let me know where I stand with you now. Let me tell you first! When I first got to know what I know about you. Which is very little. And that's fine with me. Now about me and you. I know that you think I'm not good enough for you or anyone else. And that's ok. And with me bowling, ill try to not bother you after tonight. And I'll stay down where you want me to be. That's the price I pay for, because of my love for bowling. I've had to put the love I have for you way down so I don't think to much about that love. I may sound bitter that's because of what's happening to me with my bowling. It's like I don't matter anymore. Anyway that's how you make me feel lately . Take care of yourself. I don't know when I'll bowl again. 🙏🏻❤️🕊️♾ ### 4/5 — Nice Game, But a Little Frustrated *2022-08-01, version 1.50.17* I really love this game. It’s a great way to pass time and the 1-on-1 is addicting, especially when you get a feel for bowling strikes. My only issue is with the Challenge. Sometimes it randomly lags in the middle of a challenge and automatically takes away one of your hearts. Which is frustrating because you need to wait 3 hours for another heart if you don’t want to buy any with real money. And it would make me even more upset if I paid money for hearts and got them taken away for no reason other than the game’s issues. I still recommend this game ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2022-07-30, version 1.50.17* This is one of the best non pay to win games on the App Store! No need to spend any cash to still be able to compete and win against anyone! A true skill based game if you can master it. Yeah people that do buy better balls will have a slight advantage but if you learn the right spot on legit any ball you can strike every time. Mini clip you nailed it on this one I used to play years ago. I can’t stand those pay to win games and this isn’t one of them! ## Frequently asked questions about Bowling King ### What is Bowling King?
