It is really fun and enjoy it more then some modern games My record is 554 but I started playing yesterday Mechanics are easy Simple yet not boring (One critic: when the ball bounces off enough it gets way to fast) ### 5/5 — Good but I find it hard *2025-02-03, version 2024.1.1* I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m finding it kind of hard. It’s a good game overall but be sure to check the other reviews to serif it’s 4 u ### 5/5 — A blast from the past for real *2025-01-30, version 2024.1.1* Pong the classic arcade game I’m not from that era but this game is super fun even tough it was the first video game it is still a super fun game 5 stars ### 5/5 — pong *2025-01-26, version 2024.1.1* wheee ### 5/5 — love the game *2025-01-22, version 2024.1.1* it was very fum ### 2/5 — BORING! *2025-01-18, version 2024.1.1* This gets boring after winning one time it’s not even funny. I can’t say much about it cause it’s so boring, 2 stars. ### 5/5 — This is so enjoyable *2025-01-12, version 2024.1.1* It’s so easy to play on the go and takes time and is so engaging it’s just too fun ### 5/5 — Best *2024-12-26, version 2024.1.1* There’s a bit of backgrounds you can use. You can choose which difficulty you want to use, there’s easy medium and hard. It’s the best game!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Pong *2024-12-22, version 2024.1.1* Good game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Easy is too easy and normal is impossible. *2025-08-28, version 2025.2.1* No clue why the “easy mode” is a win 100% of the time and normal mode is impossible to beat. Literally played hundreds of games on normal and it always finds a way to come back. I’ve been up 6-0 so many times just to get annihilated with 7 in a row by the AI. I’d call that a bug. ### 1/5 — Bro?? *2025-03-26, version 2024.1.1* This game is legit boring. There is just so much repetition and there isn’t anything else u can do. It seems like this game was easily made off scratch. 0/10, wouldn’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-01-05, version 2024.1.1* Make the game more interesting with I don’t know! ### 1/5 — Too jerky *2024-10-26, version 2024.1.1* The movements are too quick needs to be adjustable as a slight touch it goes way up or down ### 1/5 — Hackers *2023-12-16, version 2023.2* People keep hacking when they hit it making it go probably 13x the speed and they hack the game making my frozen I don’t recommend this game ### 1/5 — Very BAD GAME: My Gay Awakening *2023-10-12, version 2023.2* My friend give me his left kidney. This pushes gay agenda and is brainwashing the populus. I now have 46 homosexuals around me, one being myself and another being my boyfriend. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2023-09-01, version 2023.1* Lost control of both paddles in the middle of a 2 player game :( ### 1/5 — worst version of pong ever *2023-08-20, version 2023.1* Every time I hit the ball it goes back to the middle and goes towards me but if I miss it keeps going towards the enemy and he hits it so It becomes impossible to even get a point anymore so if you miss once you lose ### 1/5 — Be *2023-08-12, version 2023.1* It’s broken. just broken even if you try to hit it it goes through so it depends on how many times you get it on the one side and I love that T-shirt you see if you want ### 1/5 — Why *2023-01-15, version 2022.1* I can’t play ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good fun *2025-12-15, version 2025.2.1* I think this is a great game, free, no ads and a little difficult when you start but get easier as you go on. It lacks in variety, but hey what do you expect in pong? Overall a fun game when ur bored and want something to do. ### 5/5 — gg *2025-09-16, version 2025.2.1* good, no ads yet… 🤼‍♂️ ### 5/5 — So cool *2025-07-12, version 2025.1.2* This is so cooooooooool ### 5/5 — It’s very cool *2025-06-24, version 2025.1.1* I love it bro ### 5/5 — Good *2025-05-25, version 2024.1.1* Just play it’s its so good ### 5/5 — Great *2025-05-24, version 2024.1.1* I have ideas for turning it into even more with which I’ll contact the authors….huzzah… ### 5/5 — This game changed my life *2025-04-26, version 2024.1.1* The graphics and the story is crazy, dude 🥵🥵🥶🥶🧊🧊💦💦🤑🤑 ### 5/5 — Dope *2025-04-19, version 2024.1.1* Even though you can buy themes, the default one is enough for me, it’s true to the original game, it has satisfying haptic effects, and has multiple game modes. This is one of those apps that seems like it should be three dollars to buy. ### 5/5 — This -amazing - game *2025-04-12, version 2024.1.1* It Is Amazing ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-03-12, version 2024.1.1* Great to play wile listening to music in car rides --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
