Dont play, Too many problems

The problems are:

1. Too many ads (each game)
2. It doesnt save your achievements, items. Coins, and even matches

I maxed out my padle, grip and total fitess. Played 70matches and watch all ads to get the free bags. But the time i closed the app and re-open all of that restarts/erased. My matches went back to 30. Even the lady character i bought it but its gone.. lols im not gonna start back to zero im just gonna uninstall this game. What a waste of time

Fun but a few simple fixes are needed.

The service sides are not always correct. And there should be an occasional left handed player. And nets should be able to be picked up.

Perhaps a little tutorial on the how to for shots and adding spins

Net cord bug

The game is insane so many atps and crazy shots. And this coming from a pro PPA player. You just need to fix the bug where if there is a net cord you automatically loose.

No doubles?

Would love to see variations of true pickleball play - which is played mostly in doubles. Was looking forward to mixed, men’s, and women’s doubles.

Good game

Thanks a lot for the game

Getting there

Defiantly has potential! If it continues to improve I won’t mind paying but the ad after each match is a little much 👎

Too many Ads

After every match you have to watch and Ad. Even if you don’t want the x2 rewards for watching an ad, you still have to watch an Ad. Sadly horrible UX.

Stuck-frozen

The game keeps getting stuck without. Have to restart the game to get it unstuck, but it happens again and again.

Worst Experience I’ve Ever Had

This game is actually disgusting. Not only did it promote violence and nudity, it also crashed my phone. This game is racist and homophobic.

Response from developer

We take accusations like these very seriously. Our game does not promote violence, nudity, racism, or homophobia in any form. If you experienced technical issues like crashes, we’re happy to help—please contact our support team with your device details. We remain committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful experience for all players.

Bad execution and wayyy too many ads

If you want a terrible mobile game that is just like every tennis game but filled with ads every 10 seconds this is your game!

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and we’re sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations. We understand ad frequency can be frustrating—that’s why we offer a No Ads option in the shop for uninterrupted play. Our gameplay is designed to feel unique to pickleball, not just another tennis clone, and we’re constantly improving based on player feedback. Appreciate you trying the game!

Good game but I purchased no adds for 12.99 and still get adds that is sterling in my book

Would like to see no more adds like I purchased

Response from developer

We’re really sorry you're still seeing ads after purchasing No Ads—that shouldn’t happen. This purchase removes all forced ads, and the issue should be resolved in the latest version of the app. Please make sure you're updated, and if you're still experiencing this, reach out to our support team with your purchase receipt and device details so we can look into it right away. We truly appreciate your support!

Good

Great idea still needs a little bit of development.

Response from developer

Thanks for the support! We're glad you like the concept. We're actively building and refining the game with new features, smoother mechanics, and more polish. Your feedback helps guide that journey—so stay tuned, the best is yet to come!

It’s Okay

To be one of the first pickleball games to be made it’s not that bad. Just can’t wait to see how it would be playing someone online.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the support! 🙌 We're proud to be among the first to bring pickleball to mobile, and we're excited that you're enjoying it. Online multiplayer is definitely something we’re exploring—so stay tuned, big things are coming!

Local game fix

Love the game but the local server function doesn’t seem to work 🙏🙏🙏

Response from developer

Thanks for your support—great to hear you're enjoying the game! 🙌 The Local Server (LAN) mode should work as expected as long as both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. If you're experiencing any issues, please let us know via our support email so we can help investigate. Thanks for playing!

My new go-to game

Was bored with the usual stuff and found this by chance. Super fun and surprisingly deep. Love unlocking new paddles.

Response from developer

We’re really glad you’re enjoying the game and unlocking new paddles! We’ve recently added even more content and improvements—make sure to update to the latest version for the best experience. Keep having fun!

Finally a good pickleball game

Been waiting for a decent pocket all game for years. This one nails it. Smooth animations and challenging AI.

Response from developer

Thank you so much—we're glad Pickleball Stars delivered what you were looking for! 🙌 We’ve packed the game with smooth animations, skill-based gameplay, and tons of features like paddle unlocks, unique courts, and customization options. Have a blast on the court!

Terrible

Half of the time my points wouldn't count and just bad system

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! In pickleball, points are only awarded when you are serving—this might be why it seemed like some points weren’t counting. We understand this can be confusing for new players and are exploring ways to better explain it in-game. Appreciate you giving it a shot!

Pretty annoying

This game made me rage multiple times first to seven. If I don’t have coins I can’t play and I try to watch an ad for coins and it doesn’t work.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback—we understand how frustrating that must’ve been. We’ve made a lot of improvements lately, including fixes for coin rewards and ad-related issues. Please try the latest version and let us know how it feels now. We’d love to hear your updated thoughts!
