### 5/5 — I 💕 it but one thing

*2020-03-30*

Can you make it so that there’s a hit button so when your done your diagram you can shoot it pls then it will be the best game ever.

### 5/5 — Best diagramming app

*2020-03-21*

Finally a pool table diagramming app that does what it should and has the features an app like this needs. In the future I’d like to see some other table options (e.g., different colors, or no colors).

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-03-18, version 1.3.6*

So easy to use👌a must have!

### 5/5 — Just right

*2020-03-06*

If you are looking for an elegant app to diagram pool shots/drills and easily share them with friends, then this is exactly what you want. It gives you all the tools you need to lay out shots quickly without useless “features” that just get in the way. 

Job well done!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-03-06, version 1.3.5*

I have found this app to be super useful for pool training, it’s also useful for noting shots you might want to work on at a later date or sharing shots with friends.

### 5/5 — Best diagram tool available

*2020-03-04*

A friend recently referred this app as a tool for coaching/drills/break shots/scenario studies etc.  Hours of drawing tables/diagrams are now a thing of the past.  This app is crazy efficient and clearly the greatest currently available.   I’m looking forward to many more tools to come!  Thanks again for this product.

### 5/5 — Love the drills!!  Faster!

*2020-01-09*

This is the best pool diagrammer. Easily 2x as fast and 2x as good as the others!  I love the drills for solo play!  Excellent.

### 5/5 — Easy and fun to use

*2019-12-31*

I wish you could save within the app tho.

### 5/5 — Fantastic pool app

*2019-12-30*

This app is great for helping to see your shots on a geometric plane. I love being able to set up the drills suggested in it for solo play, or even just to show up my husband when we’re playing!

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2019-12-29*

I diagram all my missed shots with this app so i can practice them later.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive feedback! Please feel free to reach out with suggestions or comments from within the app.

### 5/5 — Finally a great pool app!

*2019-10-17*

I love this app! I finally have an easy way to diagram shots I want to work on or show a problem I had. And it’s great that I can just export to WhatsApp to show my friends.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No instructions

*2022-08-18*

I guess you have to pay to figure out how to use it. You can diagram impossible shots with impossible angles. Useless.

### 1/5 — Curious

*2022-06-07*

Hey Now that I have your app could you point out where I learn how to use it I don’t see where I can shoot with a Q I don’t see anything nothing there’s no instruction how do you work this stupid thing I mean what if I just wasted my time downloading an app that I can’t use

### 1/5 — Stupid game

*2019-12-27, version 1.3.3*

How do you shoot the ball??? Where’s the instructions??? Stupid game.. uninstall!

### 2/5 — Wast of time, lack of any instructions.

*2023-01-29*

Even a free app that gives you no instruction is of little value! In the chat you said 2 years ago you would do a video showing you using the app, like to see a link to that video. Gave 2 stars as it a good idea, just not very useful!

### 2/5 — A challenge to learn

*2022-06-11*

I’m not sure how to work the app. Sets up well but needs to be more understandable. Example wether or not the shot is correct in the diagram.

### 3/5 — Needs a yellow ball

*2026-06-12*

Good app, but really needs a yellow ball so you can draw international rules diagrams. Bit disappointing.

### 3/5 — Not Straightforward to Use

*2022-04-28*

I really wanted to like this app and maybe in the future I will. Just opening it, I can start moving things around but I can’t execute actions like it notes in the download screen. It’s not easy and intuitive to use. There are no tutorials or help modules or even a settings tab so you’re stuck with only the options listed. I tried replicating the screenshots on the download page and it doesn’t work. 

I’d love to be able to use this but you have to have instructions! I can tinker with it and figure it out but after a certain point, it’s a waste of time. I can draw out lines and put balls wherever but for a novice/intermediate player still learning, this doesn’t help with our comprehension of what we’re doing or why. 

Please add some options to provide guidance to users. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-19*

As a pool coach, i use this simple and great app all the time. please add a transparent or dotted ball to measure distances, like showing a one ball gap from the object ball to the rail.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-08*

As a pool coach, i use this app daily 👌🏻

### 5/5 — Training

*2022-12-20*

This app has allowed me to developer training curriculum for myself. Great app

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-05-12*

Not much else to say but it’s a handy app.  Well done!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-04-04, version 1.3.6*

Amazing application

### 5/5 — Great App and Simple to use!

*2020-04-22, version 1.3.6*

Excellent product. Love it!  Plan to use it for my Billiard Contest Channel on YouTube. Some enhancement ideas: 1. Allow B&W version of table to use less ink when printing. Allow removal of rack outline and head string line. 3.  Provide a ball with outline only used to e.g. place balls “one ball from rail” etc. 4. Provide resizable rectangular overlay that can be placed anywhere on the table for position target area. Several such areas could be placed on the table.  Look forward to using this app and seeing future enhancements.

### 5/5 — Cool App!

*2020-04-12*

I think it was funny how someone rated this app 1 star for not being a game?!!! “Why I can’t shoot” LOL...
Great job, keep it up
With❤️from🇽🇰

If you play pool you can use this app.

*2020-04-11*

Finally a high quality and intuitive pool diagram app. I enjoy the features and could not even think of a way it could be better...excellent.

### 5/5 — Best resource tool for pool

*2020-04-09*
