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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — G *2019-12-25, version 6.1* To much ads ### 4/5 — Game *2019-11-12, version 6.1* Like the game. But hate that you have a advert pop up more or less after every game it’s so annoying. ### 4/5 — I don’t usually leave reviews... *2019-06-21* **Update** They fixed the issues the previous update introduced.. the ads are still a bit excessive(that’s why I only improved from 1 Star to 4), but free games have to be paid for somehow... But, this warranted a review.. this game used to be great, you flick in a single direction, and the ball goes where you want it.. now, with this last update they did where they “optimized performance,” the controls are soooo touchy.. you barely touch it and the ball goes flying, if your swipe is even a fraction off, it doesn’t go anywhere near where you intended... and then let’s talk about the ads.. it seems like every 2nd attempt whether I’m completing multiple levels in a row, or failing, or a mixture, there is an ad.. normally not a problem, cuz after the first few secs you can skip, except these ads you can’t skip... they took a fun time-killing game, and ruined it... ### 3/5 — To many ads *2019-06-21, version 5.7* The game if fun to play but there way to many ads ### 5/5 — 2nd review after purchase *2019-06-17, version 5.5* Here’s another review so no one else waste $2.99 on this game. It’s pointless to buy the full game. You still have to watch ads to build points. You still have to work to get all balls unlocked. There are still a TON OF ADS!! Nothing about this game is worth the $2.99 (3.24 after tax). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 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!!! ### 1/5 — Ads *2019-12-22, version 6.1* Too many ad videos deleted! ### 1/5 — Not getting the vip rewards *2019-11-16* I bought the vip pack but i didn’t get the items. I restarted it and it still didn’t give me the items can you fix the problem ### 1/5 — Too many ads, can’t get out of some *2019-07-23* Way too many long ads. On top of long ads, you can’t get out of some of them. Was through level 3 and had to close the app twice to get through commercials. Pretty ridiculous... ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-07-15, version 5.9* You spend more time watching ads than you do playing the game ### 1/5 — Stupid. *2019-07-09* This game is dumb. It updates when it wants to and clears all your progress. Never constant crashes constantly and when you win “stars” you can’t even do anything with them. Pointless game. ### 1/5 — Lousy game *2019-06-19* Constant ads. Way too many. Controls are too touchy. Barely move finger and ball goes flying way too far. I deleted it immediately. Don’t waste your time with this glitchy ad filled piece of junk! ### 1/5 — Old dog *2019-05-15, version 4.0* Keep getting adds even though purchase add free! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice Game 5 Stars *2019-12-30, version 6.1* Good boi ### 5/5 — Hmmmm.... *2019-12-27, version 6.1* So I really liked this game a lot and I reached at a point where I got 212 points per shot each. Now each time I finish the level the, game crashes and forces me to restart and get back the 212 points. Please fix this bug ASAP ### 5/5 — Best game ever the *2019-11-30* This game is so fun me and my friends always play ### 5/5 — Froze *2019-11-25* At the end of the level it froze glitch ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2019-11-23, version 6.1* This has been an amazing app it also helps me for my basketball practice ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2019-11-11, version 6.1* It is the best game ever made you should download it has adds but they don’t pop up all the time they Only pop up when you miss the shot ### 5/5 — Great Game *2019-11-07, version 6.1* It’s a really addictive game and all, I just can’t seem to equip any of my unlocked throwable stuff. ### 5/5 — Hate the ads *2019-11-04* Hate the ads but good game ### 5/5 — Agradable *2019-10-27, version 6.1* Muy divertido ### 5/5 — 1 *2019-07-24* Like the game.
