### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-12-23, version 2.4.7*

So nice

### 4/5 — Hi

*2020-05-30, version 2.4.7*

I find I can not win trophies

### 1/5 — 17+?

*2018-07-13, version 2.4.5*

I’m not sure why you designed the game to be 17+?  My son wants it but can’t play because we have app age restrictions enabled for him.

### 5/5 — Excellent graphics

*2016-07-22, version 2.2.6*

The graphics looked really amazing by visualizing bowl technique and lineup the aisle to the center lane. By the way, I like how the design looks in this game.

### 1/5 — Was a good game--update ruined it.

*2016-03-06, version 2.2.5*

Had this bowling game for some time, then installed the update.  Big mistake!  Graphics were better in previous version plus now there is constant ads.  Bring back the old version.

### 1/5 — ads. delete

*2015-11-14, version 2.2.5*

### 3/5 — 😡😡😡😡😡

*2015-09-17, version 2.2.5*

Not fun

### 5/5 — Cool

*2015-08-16, version 2.2.5*

Cool game

### 2/5 — Not very fun

*2015-06-22, version 2.2.5*

Hook and curve doesn't work in the initial mode, not sure why I should buy tokens if I can't get the ball to hook now...

### 5/5 — Review

*2015-04-22, version 2.2.4*
