But the Unity ad network is hot garbage. I would pay you money not to suffer through another save the king game. ### 2/5 — Great game, but holy ads, Batman! *2026-08-10, version 1.1.4* Great game. You play a level, lots of fun. Great game. You win the level and you can watch an ad to 3x your coins, cool, every game has that. But when you press “no”, it then plays a forced ad. Super annoying. I get ads but that’s all this game is becoming. League 81, top 1%, uninstalled today. ### 2/5 — Was a fun and chalenging game… *2026-08-01, version 1.1.4* Why did you have to increase the length of your commercials? I used to stay engaged and challenge playing this game but now I spend so much time waiting for commercials I don’t even know which game I’m playing. I’ve only been playing for a couple years, but I think I’ve had it. I even actually spent real money on this game, but I think it’s headed for deletion, like all the games that try to force commercials down my throat for longer than I’m allowed to play their game. I’ll check back in a month and see what it looks like. Then it’s probably bye-bye Coffee Pool! ### 3/5 — 1 v 1 *2026-07-20, version 1.1.4* Adding 1v1 was a great addition, until you got greedy and required watching an ad to play it. Also still waiting on ability to add spin to cue ball. ### 4/5 — One of my everyday plays *2026-07-06, version 1.1.4* Gee, thanks for telling us that the physics is weaker. I’m more under powering my shots I’ve gotten used to. Also, why does near sighted show up more often than not? Is the worst one. ### 2/5 — It sucks now *2026-07-04, version 1.1.4* They reduced the power in the cue shots so you can’t even bank a shot the length of the table. Used to play everyday but they removed one of most satisfying parts of it. Now the shots are weak and limp. It’s just not fun. ((Delete from device)) ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-06-26, version 1.1.4* Game play is great. Only thing I don’t enjoy is trying to figure out how to get out of the ads. Sometimes they seem to get stuck. ### 2/5 — Unplayable *2026-06-17, version 1.1.3* The game has great potential but the inability to change the camera angle makes it unplayable for me. ### 3/5 — Has potential needs work *2026-06-08, version 1.1.3* I absolutely hate the fact that I have to guess where to shoot the ball they put you in a horrible position where u can’t see anything and u have to guess where the hole is there should be a fully open view how am I supposed to shoot the balls in the right hole without being able to see every hole at all times other than that the game has potential that just needs to be fixed immediately ### 2/5 — Too many ads! *2026-06-04, version 1.1.3* The game is very fun, but there’s absolutely no ways to get rid of the ads! There are so many ads that play, it’s almost every level I beat I’m faced with another ad. If there was a way to reduce ads to one per five games, or even get rid of them entirely, I’d play this game nonstop. ### 4/5 — Super fun casual gaming! *2026-05-31, version 1.1.3* Love this game and love most of the new features after the recent update but a few things I do not like that affect playability. 1. The few second delay on the next button after finishing a level. It’ll show the button for an ad and extra coins right away but I’ll never push this button. 2. When I push the next button instead of the button for extra coins to watch an ad it’ll still take me to a ad anyway which is lame. I’ll often close the app and reload it to skip the ad when it does this out of spite. 3. Right on the corner’s of the pockets it seems like balls will get stuck if placed in that exact spot. This use to not be a problem and 9 times out of 10 when the ball should be pocketed it gets stuck here, even on full power. 4. The mines are kind of sucky, not too big of a deal but I don’t particularly care for them. 5. I’d like to see a leaderboard for regular ‘story mode’ and ‘daily break’. I’ve been in top 1% for over 200 leagues and wish I could see where exactly I am in that 1% A few things I love: 1. Weekend tournament and 1v1. 2. Cue collection and ability to level up. 3. General gameplay, easy and fun to play once a day after completing my LinkedIn mini games or while taking a dump. It is a daily thing for me and often times I’ll play a couple rounds when I get bored while out and about. 4. Daily break is cool and a fun way to collect more coins if you are good enough All in all good fun and I’ll consider supporting the dev’s in the future if they lower the cost for ad free to $5 ### 2/5 — Ad button *2026-05-30, version 1.1.3* I am getting ad options pop up although I paid money to avoid ads. Now, a stupid ad button pops up right where the next button used to be. I’ve hit one too many times, uninstalled (version 1.1.3) ### 3/5 — No ads! *2026-05-29, version 1.1.3* I love this game and play it daily—I would have given it 5 stars, but I despise that to add 3 extra shots after a round I now have to watch what feels like an endless ad. I paid to have an ad-free experience. Playing provides coins players can use to buy things so if you want to let players with no coins have access to those things, at least make watching the ad an option and not a requirement. ### 4/5 — Fun daily routine *2026-05-21, version 1.1.2* The balancing has gotten better. I noticed something today though. Quantum entanglement on 8 ball challenge. Hitting the 8 ball doesn’t make the other balls move. I don’t know if that’s intentional or not. I had a good shot set up thinking it’d trigger the entanglement. Nope. ### 4/5 — A great game *2026-05-06, version 1.0.8* It is a fun and relaxing game without forcing you to buy stuff. The only problem is the aiming, where it underestimates your power and accuracy. ### 4/5 — Solid 8/10 *2026-05-02, version 1.0.8* The game is quite good. Minimal glitches, I do think that progression in the leagues could be frustrating, but other than that it’s great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Becoming Boring *2026-08-03* Add some events in this game, or more daily activities !! ### 1/5 — too many ads… sad *2026-07-30* compared to coffee golf its certainly not as fun, but i can’t say much for getting further into the levels, a forced ad after every level is a joke and 12.99 to remove them is even more so. Shame could of been a great addition to the rotation ### 1/5 — Bring the Power Back! *2026-07-04* Why did you remove 50% of the cue’s power?! One can no longer perform a lengthwise corner bank shot, which is very reasonable in real life. This new reduction of power makes the game far less enjoyable. I’ve been playing since the day I received my complimentary 8 ball in Coffee Golf and I’ve been loving it, but this latest adjustment has me super bummed out. I didn’t love it when you made “near sighted” more difficult (it was hard enough to begin with), but I got over it because you also included more shots. I won’t get over having most of my power taken away from me. PLEASE bring the power back! ### 1/5 — Bad new update *2026-06-29, version 1.1.4* This is a great game but the new update has made the ball so slow. It’s a significant reduction in quality and fun. I think some slow down was warranted but this took it way too far ### 1/5 — Bad update *2026-06-27, version 1.1.4* They absolutely nuked this game's playability with the most recent update. Can barely even hit the cue ball at max power. ### 1/5 — Ads take over *2026-06-21, version 1.1.3* Game is good but some ads take over and cannot be closed. Regularly I have got an ad that cannot be closed the only option is to force close Coffee Pool. ### 1/5 — Shoved ads into paid accounts *2026-05-29, version 1.1.3* Was a pretty good game that I didn’t mind paying the 9 bucks to play ad-free. Now they’ve added a post-round pause to watch some scammy ad for a small multiplier. Sucks to have to get rid of this over some craven money grab shown to people who paid to be ad-free. ### 1/5 — Ads are extremely long *2026-05-22, version 1.1.2* I bought the starter pack. I am considering cutting my losses now and just deleting the game. You spend about 60% of the time watching ads depending on how fast you play. ### 1/5 — The ads after every level completed odds annoying *2026-05-20, version 1.1.2* Beat the game but every level completed you get an ad. Not worth your time. I’ve completed all the levels so killed time but more than I’d want for even more sworn enemies to waste. ### 1/5 — Why do we have game over when we ran out of shots? *2026-05-20, version 1.1.2* I have got this game ever since god knows what day or week but when you ran out of hits you get a game over. It’s like running out of tries until you started crashing out, raging, and out of control. I would SEVERELY NOT to try this game. It is a waste of time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super Fun! *2026-08-13, version 1.1.5* Love the puzzle aspects to each round and the power-ups available to one’s cue collection. ### 5/5 — Great Game, Little Tweaks Needed *2026-07-03, version 1.1.4* Absolutely awesome game, so fun. Just missing a quick restart button so you don’t have to go all the way out to the menu to restart if you mess up your first shot. Would also love dots on the side of the pool table like a real table has so I can get a better sense of where to aim bank shots. Other than that, really great! ### 5/5 — I like Coffee Pool but *2026-05-22* no landscape orientation ( ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!! *2026-05-08, version 1.0.8* Coffee games are the best games ### 5/5 — Great pool game *2026-02-17, version 1.0.8* I found this game thru the coffee golf game. Both have great physics and mechanics and are great ways to kill a few minutes. Personally, I call these game “Toilet” gold and pool cuz that’s where I normally play them 😂😊😁 But seriously, nice job, whoever created this series. ### 5/5 — 台球 *2026-01-14, version 1.0.8* 很真实 打击感不错 ### 5/5 — PERFECT *2026-01-04, version 1.0.8* Addictive but not too addictive, REALLY fun, Amazing art style, generally a perfect game ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-12-25, version 1.0.8* I played the coffee golf game and started playing this. It is fun and relaxing. ### 5/5 — Timer problem *2025-12-19, version 1.0.8* If you get the timer and want to get rid of it, create an account to save your progress, delete the app, reinstall it, then sign in and the timer was gone. Very relaxing game I love it ### 5/5 — GOATED *2025-11-27, version 1.0.8* GOATED 5 stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
