I would quite happily pay to turn ads off for ever. Otherwise this is one of my favourite games. ### 4/5 — Reviews *2026-07-01, version 2.4.6* Best 😃 ### 4/5 — Great game but repetitive and slightly inaccurate *2026-06-14, version 2.4.6* Im on level 770 and the table hasnt change shape for me in a while. also the shot recommended by a heart or hand is sometimes completely impossible. Im not bothered about ads, its like a 5 second max ad every game which shouldnt really bother you unless your proper impatient. I like yhe difficulty of the pockets being smaller/ balls being larger compared to other pool games. Overall great game and im a little addicted ### 3/5 — Broken ads *2026-06-05, version 2.4.6* The pool part is great. I’m on level 1313 so have been playing for years. There are a lot of ad breaks but that’s kind of expected. What’s unacceptable is that the ads sometimes can’t be dismissed. Even after the App Store opens. You have to force quit the game to get past it. ### 4/5 — Fun pool game but a question… *2026-06-03, version 2.4.6* Why use “S” for the gold medal and “A” for the silver medal? I would think “Aurum” would be for the gold and “S” for silver. Are they just reversed by accident? Also, it’s not 8-ball. And why do they call all successful shots “combos”? I’d think that if you hit a ball in by bouncing it off another ball, then it might be a “combo”. They obviously didn’t check with a native English speaker when naming the game- it looks like “Poo King”. I’d like answers to these questions from the developers, please. ### 2/5 — Unrealistic, not full game *2026-05-23, version 2.4.6* Hexagonal shaped tables, or not the full ball set? I'd prefer a real game, not a game with all balls the same number. ### 3/5 — Adding more tables to the game. *2026-05-08, version 2.4.6* I love the game but I am alimony at the end. Are you Going to add more?please advise. ### 4/5 — Pooking *2026-04-18, version 2.4.6* Great game, but a commercial after every game is ridiculous. I just wish there wasn’t so many doggone commercials. After ever game there is a commercial. This ridiculous!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Great game…However… *2026-04-16, version 2.4.6* I love this game …EXCELLENT CHALLENGING TABLE AND BALL SETUPS THAT ARE FUN!!! JUST SO OVERLY LOADED WITH THE ADS FOR ROYAL KINGDOM.😡😡 (If I say I’m not interested in wanting to get that game…show me ad for something else) That’s why I ended up just deleting the app before I wrote this reviews. ### 2/5 — Not so good… *2026-03-04, version 2.4.6* The ad says “a relaxed game of 8 ball”, it’s not even close. Just line up and shoot, sometimes multiples of the same ball, almost impossible to miss. An easy time waster for kids, but not much more. It’s pretty boring. ### 3/5 — Fun game FILLED with Ads *2026-03-03, version 2.4.6* No way to turn off ads, not even to buy out of them. Otherwise, if you can deal with an ad every couple of minutes, you’re good. Otherwise look elsewhere. ### 4/5 — Ads *2026-03-03, version 2.4.6* Pls no can to make it a no ads game but every thing is perfect ### 2/5 — Too busy *2026-02-28, version 2.4.6* Just too busy, with all the ads, levels, awards, gimmicks, etc. If the AI summary included just the reviews of the most recent updates, it wouldn’t get a 4.5 rating! ### 2/5 — My opinion *2026-02-25, version 2.4.6* Fun game but way too many ads ( 1 after every level) and no online feature ### 2/5 — Way too many ads *2026-01-25, version 2.4.6* I love this game but it is mostly ads. 30 seconds of game play and 2 minutes of ads..will be looking for better game. ### 3/5 — Loved it…but *2026-01-22, version 2.4.6* I have played this game for years and loved it. Now the ads have become in excess of several minutes and will not allow you to close them, ever! I have had to restart my tablet to move on. I have just deleted this travesty of entertainment. Good Bye! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Full of adds *2026-07-28, version 2.4.6* A good game, but poorly implemented with adds that you get 24/7 absolutely horrible and irritating stops the enjoyment of the game where is comes to a point you get that fed up of it you stop playing it also full of crashing and bugs. ### 1/5 — Отвратительно *2026-04-09* Каждую «секундную» партию - реклама на «полчаса»… Удаляю, неинтересно. Рекламы больше, чем игра. ### 1/5 — Game Bug. Uninstalled game to try to fix bug… lost progress from lvl 2695 *2026-03-28, version 2.4.6* Started playing the game before the ads started… then the ads… then unity ads (unity ads suck). But sadly since unity ads started the game balls and cue balls turn a translucent green color. This makes it almost impossible to play the game… fix bug please… Also it would be nice to reset my level back to 2695… ### 1/5 — Wanted to like it *2026-03-17, version 2.4.6* This game is fun when you get to play. The constant adds absolutely ruined it! Deleted the stupid game due to excessive adds. ### 1/5 — Fun game FILLED with Ads *2026-03-10, version 2.4.6* No way to turn off ads, not even to buy out of them. Otherwise, if you can deal with an ad every other screen, you’re good. If you do ANYTHING, after the table is played you will get an ad! Otherwise look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Одна реклама *2026-02-22* Одна реклама ### 1/5 — Way way way too many ads *2026-02-09, version 2.4.6* Great game totally ruined by extremely excessive and very long ads. Many of the ads never go away and you have to quit the game to get out of them. Selfish, ignorant devs on this one. ### 1/5 — Ad after every level *2026-02-07, version 2.4.6* Takes the fun out of a game when you have to wait 15-30 seconds every single level because you guys rape us with ads. Ended up uninstalling the game because it’s annoying ### 1/5 — Reviews *2026-01-30, version 2.4.6* Great game only uninstalling cause there is no way to pay to have ads removed or a paid version available. So sad ### 1/5 — Awful pool game *2026-01-27, version 2.4.6* Every time you open the game there’s an ad, if you finish playing a set?- there’s another ad. There are no options to play with opponents. The oddly shaped tables are only fun for the first few sets, then when you realize that aiming at oddly placed holes is different than regular pool — you realize what a waste of time it is—- since you’re not really practicing any technical skills or abilities. Horrible game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jogo bom *2026-05-13* Cara jogo muito bom mas trava muito o celular,também podiam colocar esse jogo pra ser online aí esse jogo ia ser o melhor de todos🎮 ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-05-12, version 2.4.6* I’ve been playing this game for some time now and I’ve reached Level 3600. I’ve tried other, similar games, but none come near to this. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-03-25, version 2.4.6* Addicted! ### 5/5 — Needs No Ads Option *2026-03-07, version 2.4.6* ‘Nuff said ### 5/5 — Сергей *2026-01-05* Хорошая игра время скоротать. Чтоб не было рекламы отключайте интернет. ### 5/5 — Pooking *2026-01-04* Excelente jogo…. ### 5/5 — Amazing! 😜😜😜😜 *2025-12-30, version 2.4.6* I love this game! Not much else to say.. it is fun and relaxing highly recommended! #waiting room fun ### 5/5 — Most realistic *2025-11-08, version 2.4.6* I lost my ability to play and enjoy getting my fix here. I began with them and have stayed with them. Most realistic game play. ### 5/5 — Hey *2025-10-14, version 2.4.6* THIS GAME IS SOOO FUN I CANNOT STOP PLAYING!! ### 5/5 — Fun game. *2025-09-10, version 2.4.6* Have gotten up to Level 13013 and can’t progress. One red ball went UNDER the Pool “railing” and is outside the pool table. Please help me solve this.
