## What is DrawShot?

DrawShot is _not_ a game, it is a tool that lets you draw a pool shot on your iPhone or iPad.  You can diagram drills to help other players learn, post that crazy table layout from your league night to Facebook, or tweet your game winning two rail bank.

== Drawing ==
* Select a ball then move it around by dragging _anywhere_ on the slate (so that your finger doesn't cover the ball)
* Drag with two fingers to draw a line with a ghost ball on the end
* Ghost balls can have their own ghost ball so you can show multiple banks and caroms
* Drag with three fingers to position a ball inside of another ball
* Save many different drawings within the app then view, share or edit them later
* Undo/redo while editing

== Sharing ==
* Post your drawings to Facebook (iOS 6.0+)
* Tweet your drawings on Twitter (be sure to use the #DrawShot hashtag!)
* Email a drawing as an image attachment
* Save as an image to your camera roll to import into other apps

== Improve Your Game ==
* Randomize the balls then analyze the table, keep repeating to learn patterns
* Save drills and keep track of your progress in the drawing's notes field
* Draw up any questions that you have and post to your friends to get answers

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-08-15*

The app keeps crashing please fix it.

### 4/5 — Good and simple

*2022-08-10*

Very simple way to track your shots and drills, just need more options just like table grid lines, cue ball English.

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!!

*2019-10-07*

Use to recreate those great shots you've made over the years, or teach others players while remembering the ball placement. Real visuals of ball path. I would like to see a camera or AR integration that could recreate the table for you. I love this app, I use it daily!

### 5/5 — One of the best I’ve used.

*2019-04-22*

Once you get the hang of this app you could re-draw complex shots in less than a minute. There are of course some slight limitations of what can be reproduced. I would love to see this app evolve. I would love to see some presets.

### 4/5 — Good

*2018-02-19*

Good app, does what it’s supposed to do. Easily to lean and work with! One down side, there isn’t an option to diagram a cue ball for applied English.  Wish you could add a graphic interface for this. Nothing complicated, just a picture with a dot would work

### 3/5 — Good app, has potential

*2013-11-17*

Pretty good app, and as another reviewer stated, it needs a few more features on top of the ones mentioned. 1) First off I paid for the app  (the in App upgrade) so I would expect not to have an advertisement that says in large letters "DRAWSHOTAPP.COM (for the App) in the center of the table. For the full version you should allow me to put whatever logo and / or name I would like. 2) I think that you should be able to just draw lines from one ball to wherever and not have a ghost ball. In example, if you want to show a bankshot with just the cue ball (or whatever ball). I don't want to draw a line from the object cue ball, to a ghost cue ball on the rail I want to bank off of, to another ghost ball showing where the object cue ball lands.  It would be easier to just make a "regular dotted line" from the object ball to the rail then from the rail to the final ghost cue ball showing where the final position would be. Maybe have just a line as another tool and allow to make a final ghost cue ball where the final place you want the cue ball (or whatever ball) to land. 3) I think the addition of curved Arrows and regular arrows in general to show English and Direction. 4) The addition of a larger cue ball to show follow draw or left and right English should be able to be placed somewhere on the table or under the table somewhere to show in detail where the cue tip should hit on the ball.

### 5/5 — what a cool app!

*2013-10-01*

googling for "billiard diagramming website" led me to an azbilliards forum where this app was mentioned and I was blown away!

this is literally the first app in which I have ever made an in-app purchase, and I did it without even blinking.  A really impressive piece of work, thanks!!

### 3/5 — Great start

*2013-06-19*

Great start.  App is very intuitive. I upgraded to the paid version. 

A few must haves hopefully to add soon:
1. The table is not a 9' table. It's important that the balls and table are scaled properly when making layouts.  Please see published specs online for ball diameter and table dimensions. 

2. Please add a grid option to help locate balls on the table. 

3. Maybe make the toolbar get bigger when you click it to help pick a function, then it gets small again. If you did this, there would only have to be one "tools" icon, since it would open up  all the tools. 

4. Please please please add the ability to share the "code" for a picture at azbilliards forum. This way people can manipulate others layouts, to spawn shot option discussions. To facilitate this, it would be extremely helpful if the app was also functional in a regular html5 browser. 

Thank you for your efforts thus far!

### 5/5 — Easy to use app

*2013-05-06*

A useful tool to improve one's game

### 5/5 — Easy and intuitive

*2013-04-30*

Amazing app!
