I’m addictive, but at level 116, the game crashes and I automatically exit the game. Do you please correct this ? It’s too bad that is crashes. I’m not able to play since level 116 ... ### 5/5 — Curly *2015-04-30, version 1.3* A great game unusual but addictive and physics spot on would recommend to buy full version I have ### 5/5 — My Only Online Review, Ever *2015-03-31, version 1.3* I just wanted to let the developers know how much I've enjoyed Knockball, and to thank them for perfecting such a smooth, beautiful, "virtually-realistic" game. I play it all the time to unwind or just for the sheer enjoyment of seeing if I can beat my scores. I've played all 140 levels countless times and it's never the same twice. More levels would be a joyous gift (and I would happily pay for them), but it will never grow stale as is. Thank you!!!!! ### 5/5 — Simple fun *2015-01-04, version 1.3* It's uncomplicated to play. Yahoo! ### 4/5 — Good, but no new levels added *2014-12-04, version 1.3* Pretty good, have played throughout it all, twice, but never any new levels added, so time to delete! ### 5/5 — Great game *2014-10-11, version 1.3* Something different, but easy to pick up and put down. ### 5/5 — Nice, challenging! *2013-10-05, version 1.1* Good fun! Some levels are tough!!! ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2013-09-24, version 1.1* I love this game -- I play it obsessively on my subway commute. I need more levels! I wish there was a way to create your own. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2013-09-14, version 1.1* Great app to pass the time. I hope there are new levels soon. ### 5/5 — Knock ball *2013-09-01, version 1.1* Fun game, addicting ### 5/5 — Casual fun *2013-08-19, version 1.1* Fun and addicting! Simple game concept but done very well. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2013-07-09, version 1.1* Enjoyed the first level. Probably will buy. ### 4/5 — Mr *2013-07-01, version 1.1* Just challenging enough. Great for trips or plane rides ### 5/5 — Addictive *2013-06-28, version 1.1* This is a very addictive app. I look forward to each new level. The physics is spot on. ### 5/5 — Addictive Fun!! *2013-06-28, version 1.1* Once started, can't stop! Great game! ### 5/5 — Funtabulous! *2013-06-21, version 1.1* Sick with the flu and tired of surfin' started playing knockball feeling a little better yay ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPod users, beware! *2012-08-19, version 1.1* This game just doesn't work on anything smaller than an iPad. When your ball gets close to the edge of the board, there's no room to give it any power, which happens at the start of the first level. I don't recommend this for iPod or iPhone users. ### 2/5 — Can be fun *2014-08-12, version 1.2* But why does it keep freezing on me? That is frustrating. ### 2/5 — KnockBall *2013-08-22, version 1.1* I love it! ### 3/5 — Too bad *2022-08-05, version 3.0.3* Fun game but not paying to move ahead. ### 3/5 — Simple, challenging, addicting and really fun to play *2013-06-19, version 1.1* One of my favorite games. Actually has quite a bit of strategy. Not what I first expected. Get it. ### 3/5 — MULTIPLAYER!! *2013-05-26, version 1.1* Needs online and connect through facebook!! ### 3/5 — Knockball *2013-05-24, version 1.1* Nice little game but unfortunately let down by the fact that on the first shot you can't get enough power as the ball is too close to the edge of the screen. ### 3/5 — Fun but... *2013-05-23, version 1.1* Well it is a fun game, but the ball usually starts at the bottom of the screen, and it is too close to the edge of the screen to move, so...it doesn't work. Needs to be fixed. ### 3/5 — Different to control *2012-08-20, version 1.1* 开球的时候很难拉满力量。 It's too different to get enough power when beginning. ### 4/5 — Doesn't play beyond level 116 *2019-07-05, version 2.0.2* Great game, but it crashes at level 116. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good ol’ days *2022-02-02, version 3.0.2* A good ol’ app ### 5/5 — I Love This Game….But *2021-12-11, version 3.0.2* I wrote the review below three years ago. Everything still stands… including the fact that the game still crashes after level 115 is completed and I can never play levels 116 onwards. My phone is up to date 15.1 and yet after 3 years and several updates of this app the problem is still not fixed. Please fix it… Original Review - I’ve had this game for years on several devices. So glad they updated it to 64 Bit so I can play on my iPhone. There is a lack of good ball games in the App Store but this is definitely one. Very good physics and range of levels. Could be made even better if you could add spin to the gold ball like in Pool or Snooker. However is still a great little game as it is. ....as a post script to the above I have just discovered a bug. After completing level 115 the app crashes instead of loading level 116. Clicking on “App Support” takes me to a page of frh games that doesn’t open. So can’t report the bug with the game makers/owners. Running iOS 11.4.1 on an iPhone SE Please fix... ### 5/5 — Glitch in latest version....After completing table 115 . *2018-12-07, version 2.0.2* Glitch in latest version....After completing table 115 ..... table 116 will not load... so you cannot play anymore tables... ### 5/5 — KnockBall *2018-11-16, version 2.0.1* Greater relaxer! ### 5/5 — Great, iOS 11 upgrade?? *2017-11-30, version 1.3* A fun simple realistic physics game from the early days of iOS. Any chance of a 64-bit upgrade? I'd hate to lose this app! ### 5/5 — OUT standing! *2017-01-20, version 1.3* I haven't laughed so much in ages, this is a great game. OK that's the review done, back to the game. Yeeeha! ### 5/5 — KnockBall *2016-12-01, version 1.3* My favorite game on iPad. ### 5/5 — Get this app 😃 *2016-01-11, version 1.3* LOVE Knockball!!! You'll amaze yourself with some of the shots you'll pull off! It's a stress buster, too! Always feel better after I take a little Knockball break through the course of my day 😎 ### 5/5 — Unhappy *2015-10-27, version 1.3* Several complaints. I paid for the full game over a year ago, but suddenly the app is trying to force me to "buy" again and won't let me play beyond the 19th game. The link for support is broken. And, if you try to rate the game anything less than 5 stars, it kicks you out of the review saying the nickname is already in use, no matter how many names I try. ### 5/5 — Buy it *2015-09-24, version 1.3* This is a very addictive, challenging game. You only get about 8 tables for free, so after the first 8 I bought the whole game. I love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
