But, on stage 2 the balls do not move. ### 2/5 — Nice! *2017-06-11, version 1.6* This game is fun and entertaining but the ads are annoying and the game is constantly freezing so it makes progress hard. But overall it is fun! ### 2/5 — Decent but has a glitch *2017-05-19, version 1.6* If you get high in points it glitches and won't let you throw anymore balls as if it'll your touch screen stopped working but it sure lets you click on the ads just not throw the balls as the clock counts down... ### 2/5 — Ugh *2017-05-09, version 1.6* Fun game but the balls freeze while the timer runs every time I get to the 2nd round. ### 3/5 — Cool *2017-05-02, version 1.6* Cool game but, it glitches if I try to make a side shot it forces the ball straight up and causes me to miss. Not to happy about that. Other than that I enjoy the game. ### 2/5 — Freezing Problems *2017-04-17, version 1.6* I would give this game five stars, but too many times, the balls freeze up while the timer still ticks and you can't throw shots. ### 4/5 — Pocket Basketball *2017-02-17, version 1.6* It is fun when it is working. I don't know if it is part of the game or if the balls freeze up. You cannot shoot a ball. ### 2/5 — Keep freezing after a few rounds *2017-01-09, version 1.6* I love this game but it keeps freezing :( ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2017-01-03, version 1.6* This game is Awesome ### 5/5 — kaka *2016-11-09, version 1.6* you are a big kaka ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don't download *2017-07-07, version 1.6* Just tried to play.

Then completely unresponsive ### 1/5 — Freezes up *2017-03-17, version 1.6* I love the game until I get to level 4 or 5 and then the game freezes up.
