### 4/5 — No sound?

*2021-12-16, version 6.2*

Great game but no sound

### 1/5 — Breaks

*2021-06-15, version 6.2*

I’m at lvl 166 w 159,000 some points and every time I complete that level it crashes. I’ve completed it 4 times now.

### 2/5 — Fix the bugs!!!

*2020-11-11, version 6.2*

It could be the best but the bugs made it the worst. VIP pack paid but never received. And you keep playing it, somewhere between level 80-130, the app will die and never able to continue the game.

### 1/5 — Wth

*2020-07-29, version 6.2*

I bought the vip, so I wouldn’t have any ads and it was suppose to unlock 3 vip balls and  it never did! You need to fix the game

### 4/5 — Couple of major defects

*2020-05-06*

Overall a great game with couple of major defects. Need a fix and I am all into it.
1. Purchased VIP but items are still locked. Tried to restore and it has no effect. 
2. At the finish of level 127 the system is frozen and never able to respond. Quit the game and restart from level 127 and not able to pass it ever.

### 2/5 — Dunk Star

*2020-02-09, version 6.2*

The game is awesome but the ads ruin it 😕

### 3/5 — Changing basketballs

*2020-02-06, version 6.2*

I can’t change my ball

### 3/5 — Needs to be Fixed

*2020-01-24*

I made it to level 110 but after I got to the top it froze the whole app. I closed it out and it started the level back over but it continues to freeze every time I complete level 110.

### 1/5 — Loved the game but

*2020-01-01*

Loved this game but now it locks up constantly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times. About ready to give up and delete it completely!!!

### 5/5 — Nice Game 5 Stars

*2019-12-30, version 6.1*
