The problem I have is that the full version that you had to pay for is now de-listed on the App Store as far as I can tell. It makes sense with how the mobile game business model has evolved since this game came out, but come on guys. Yes, it has fewer ads compared to your voodoo type mobile games, but the placement of those ads is frustrating. I would gladly shell out some dough to get that full version once again; it would be nice to have a choice. ### 4/5 — Happy and Sad *2025-09-22, version 1.3.1* I love the game, but I’m sad that I can’t purchased any gold pins. ### 4/5 — Fun Game *2024-11-17, version 1.3.1* For a free game this is very good. I wish there was an option to remove the ads but it might be more than I’d be willing to pay. I just discovered that turning off your wi-fi disables the ads. ### 2/5 — Umm *2021-12-11, version 1.3.1* It’s a fun game but get rid of annoying advertisements!! ### 3/5 — Ads in the WRONG place *2021-03-19, version 1.3.1* Can you please move the ads to the side? I used to love this game but now I can’t see all the attributes of the ball when selecting. ### 4/5 — Love This Game , but *2020-04-30, version 1.3.1* I have been playing this game since my iPad 2 but this version have to many ads plus they say “in-purchase” available but how? No support from developer, what are we suppose to do? ### 3/5 — Nice game *2020-04-20, version 1.3.1* This is a good game. But can you bring the original Gutterball game to iOS. Please remove the adds at the top of the screen. They cover up the top of the game. Or at least please make them smaller if they are to be there. ### 3/5 — Sick of ads!!!!!!!!! *2020-03-30, version 1.3.1* I want to buy the game, but the ads are annoying. Eventually I will delete the game if no chance to buy, ### 5/5 — Love it 😍 *2020-02-12, version 1.3.1* Power ups! ### 3/5 — Good, but..... *2020-01-01, version 1.3.1* I would pay a couple bucks to get rid of the adds. The big banner across the top of the page is annoying and if the option to opt out by paying does not happen, the game will be deleted. ### 3/5 — Ads *2019-10-11, version 1.3.1* Take the same up I’d add off of the top of the screen. You accidentally hit it constantly. ITS ANNOYING. You want to put an ad in every few frames then fine. But that on top constantly is crap. ### 2/5 — Great game, but *2019-07-23, version 1.3.1* Too many ads in fact I don't want to see any ads while playing a game. Ads never ever make me visit a site or purchase what they are trying to sell. It does the complete opposite and after a while I'll stop playing this game if they don't get rid of the ads. Also why doesn't all of the past purchases and achievements in the game transfer to other iPads with the same user ? ### 5/5 — Fun, great game *2019-06-21, version 1.3.1* Great game. Fun to play! ### 2/5 — Remove the adds! *2018-12-23, version 1.3.1* Loaded this on my new iPad and the add at the top of the screen covers some of the content and is distracting when playing the game. I’ve played this for years on my old iPad with no adds and loved it, if I don’t find a way to get rid of the adds I’ll delete it and find something different. ### 3/5 — Game freezes after one game *2018-11-18, version 1.3.1* I actually enjoy this, but there is one problem. After finishing a game, the game freezes on a loading screen. Even after waiting a long time doesn't work, but it might be my old iPad. Only solution is to restart the app. If you could fix this, I would appreciate it. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2018-11-07, version 1.3.1* Be sure to turn off voices. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — wsse *2024-05-31, version 1.3.1* i don’t like it and its rigged ### 1/5 — Rude attitude *2023-06-18, version 1.3.1* The female who is in the game when you play it she’s not a very nice person she says fowl not nice words I don’t recommend this game anymore it’s not worth it ### 1/5 — Adds 😡🤬😐 *2020-01-12, version 1.3.1* I like th game but I hate the adds so that’s why I rate it a one star they are so 🤬 annoying ### 1/5 — Not Enough for freands to bowl should *2019-03-01, version 1.3.1* What it should should be where you type in your name to play what is the player he unlimited ### 1/5 — Gutterball HD free *2018-02-03, version 1.3.1* This is terrible.too many ads. I have the paid one but since the software update on my iPad it won’t let me play. Says contact the developer to update game. Please fix ### 1/5 — Bad!!!!!! *2015-11-10, version 1.2.0* Every time I play the Lady in the game says mean things about me and makes me mad ### 1/5 — Wont load *2015-08-27, version 1.2.0* Crashes on startup please fix ### 1/5 — Achievement screen *2015-05-20, version 1.2.0* In the upgraded version, the achievements are not listed consistently listed,even when earned. Sometimes it's shown sometimes not. Most often not. Bummer ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-01-01, version 1.1.9* I just bought one of the custom balls and was customizing it, game crashes and now it won't load, why is this happening ### 1/5 — Gold pin strike *2014-06-13, version 1.1.9* I loved this game until a recent upgrade now causes it to crash upon opening. After reading recent posts from others this seems to be a widespread problem. Too bad, this was one of the better bowling apps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-11-22, version 1.3.1* Decent game ### 5/5 — Brings back childhood memories *2022-05-24, version 1.3.1* I got this game again and I’m just remembering how I used to play with this on my old iPad. Still looks mostly the same from when I used to play it from around 2012-2016 (as far as I know). ### 5/5 — greatest bowling game of all time *2022-05-12, version 1.3.1* at the ripe old age of 6 years old i started playing gutterball. it changed my life for the better. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2022-05-01, version 1.3.1* I love 💕 this game so much but I love if u can play all the lane without money 💰 so much fun for kids of all aged ### 5/5 — I will love ❤️ it *2022-01-09, version 1.3.1* If you would update the game that where we could cool custom bowling balls and new custom designs for our new cool bowling balls as well just making a suggestion that you should make new custom designs for the phone bowls when you build to make one when you go to make your own bowling ball and even that we can make our own custom size and let the sizes and the bowling balls every single one The game is fun can make are own bowling 🎳 al’s that are custom as well with this idea that will be no way to discontinue the game and custom bowling pins as well ### 5/5 — Fun bowling *2021-06-11, version 1.3.1* That was so cool ### 5/5 — About This Game *2021-05-22, version 1.3.1* Dear Skunk Studios I Really Like This Game And The Voices Are Kinda Very Nice And I Wish You Made Gutterball 2 On Mobile ### 5/5 — Hi. *2021-01-21, version 1.3.1* Hi how are you doing today? I love this game but you should have Qatar ball 1 and got your got gutter ball 2 bowling On here. My name is TASHA. ### 5/5 — I Love This Game! *2020-10-25, version 1.3.1* I am a loyal fan of Gutterball, finding it realistic, fun, challenging, and entertaining , especially when I am in the mood for canned insults. Seriously, I have to do tons of computer work each day, ugh, but Gutterball, the only game on my Mac, hits me up with a nice respite, especially in these unfortunate Covid 19 days. By the way, I’ve tried the other bowling games and haven’t found one that equals the true bowling action, entertainment, and variety of lanes. Truly, what’s not to like? So please, Gutterball, please update for iOS, Thank you! ### 5/5 — Being in the perfect game *2020-07-22, version 1.3.1* I CAN NOT Believe THAT I GOT AN PERFECT GAME! I RATED THIS GAME 5 STARS AND 10/10 FOR THIS! THANK YOU CREATORS! YOU RULE!!!! :D --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
