Slightest movement or adjustment of aim results in large jumping movements of the aiming point. I eventually gave up as it’s more frustrating than entertaining. Wonderful potential though. ### 4/5 — Cool app but, very glitchy *2020-04-02* Racks are never “tight.” Have to break at 10 momentum to get a good spread. Sometimes the pool cue disappears. 10 ball re racks when the 9 falls. It’s 3D but, top view only. It would be nice to have a view down the shaft of the cue. Sometimes the cue and cue ball disappear and you have to restart. Sometimes balls will stick to one another and go into a “binary star orbit” and just swirl wildly around the table. That’s the only way I can describe it. On kick shots the cue ball always swerves unrealistically after leaving the last rail. One rail: you get an unrealistic swerve, two rails, between the first and second, the ball travels fine, three rails, after leaving the third rail, wild swerve! Very difficult to aim! It’s way too twitchy. Most of the time you will never get the angle you want ever. Cheating the pocket is almost impossible. If you do get the aim you want, you’ll be dissatisfied because it will change just as you lift your finger! There is help when you first open the app but, after that you’ll never find it again. No re rack button, can only move the cue ball on the first break. No ball in hand after misses/no rail contact in games... Practicing pool is about tuning your aiming, stroke mechanics, momentum control, and English adjustments. You can only to the last one half way with any of these apps. You need your cue and a surface 29-1/2 to 33 inches from the floor to practice the first two and a good table with balls to do them all... ### 5/5 — Chalky Sticks *2019-12-10* Absolutely fantastic ! Been playing since the 60’s . Seems very true & accurate . Incredible app to practice away from the table . THANK YOU CHALKYSTICKS . ### 5/5 — Phenomenal App *2019-01-25* This is a great training aid and goes well with their other app “Chalky sticks” that makes connecting with like minded pool players in your area a lot easier ### 5/5 — Great for pool players *2019-01-04* The drills really make this great and I’m really excited I can play billiards on it too. Looking forward to the snooker and whatever comes next --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
