Vale verga este juego ### 1/5 — I’m deleting this app *2022-02-02, version 1.20.2* I cannot get anyone to from customer support to answer my questions. Y’all steal money ### 1/5 — Ms.Disapointed *2021-10-08, version 1.20.2* Downloaded this app because I love to play pool and this one looked very fun but every time I have tried to play it it’s just shuts the game down and takes me back to the home screen and has yet to let me play the game,I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game and still it does the same thing....very disappointing I really wanted to try it out ### 1/5 — This game cheats *2021-08-16* This game cheats big time. It controlling your play and every shot. Specially when you play high prices and specially with a Chinese player. And it cheats on the winning price paid out on every game. It is lame and frustrated. On top of it all, every description is in Chinese. Why can it be translate in English like most of all games. This is for the Chinese and only for them to play with themselves. Very lame and I am give zero star but it won’t let me, so I have to give this lame cheating game one star. ### 1/5 — 网络有病 *2021-07-13, version 1.20.2* 废铁游戏 ### 1/5 — Hacen trampa🤣😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 *2021-06-17, version 1.20.2* Está haciendo trampa el servidor!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2020-12-09, version 1.20.2* If you don’t spend money you don’t win. Very bias game. Delete delete!! ### 1/5 — Has potential but reaching too far *2020-11-28, version 1.20.2* I love the tournaments and the weekly elite challenges. Also the fact that the object is to earn new cues, upgrade the cues already earned, and increase in skill levels. That foundation for a pool game is what keeps me playing. With that being said I must also include the negative. The advanced skill level cues and their abilities are way off in the idea of being realistic. Their appearance are obviously way off and their abilities are there with it. This would not be a bad thing if the game was not advertised as being the “most realistic pool game.” Although I can’t prove it 100% it also seems that there are many bots being used in gameplay that are there to end any decent streak you have going. I identify them by the movements of the cue when they take shots and also the fact that they can make a shot that is clearly not aimed right at the pocket it is made in. Many times I have missed a shot that is aimed even closer to the intended pocket than the shots that are made by these “things”. My biggest complaint is that I literally just purchased what was said to be 21 tickets for $4.99 and it said it was a 50% off sale. Well after I clicked purchase it only credited me with 13 tickets. Total crap! It makes me wonder how many other times this has happened if I wasn’t paying as good of attention. I have spent a good amount of money to buy these tickets for the elite challenges, used these tickets to advance, and there was one time where I was on the last game, shot the last ball in and made it and just as it should go to the “winner screen” it tells me that my connection is bad, pauses for a long moment, and then goes to the screen and declares my opponent the winner. My phone showed full bars. So basically I just wasted money to be called the loser after winning. Similar scenarios have happened more than once but not with money involved. Bottom line is I will continue to play because it is fun but I am nearing my end with it. I will recommend the game to anyone that needs a good time waster or distraction from their spouse/significant other. I will warn though on the misleading claim of realest pool game and the possibility of losing money unfairly. *This is my 3rd update. Had to add this. I was in a streak challenge that was 6 games long of 9 ball. I was on a round 4 and using one of the daily free tickets. The only balls I had left were the 7 and then the 9. I aimed and shot the 7 ball in and had myself set up for a clear shot at the 9 ball. As soon as the cue ball came to a complete stop, my screen immediately said “Network Unstable.” I had 3 out of 4 bars of my reception and I was connected to WiFi anyway and it showed that the signal strength was fine. Anyway, at a quicker pace than usual, it reverted back to the game and said that I had run out of time and it was now my opponent’s shot. Also, the 7 ball I had just pocketed was right back in the place where it was before. My opponent then shot it in and followed up with the 9ball for the win. Doesn’t seem like a big deal but......they wanted 4 tickets to try again and that is exactly what I had left. Kinda fishy if you ask me, especially because it erased my shot that I had made which would have won me the game. If I wanted to continue I would have to buy more after that next game. I fully believe the makers set these things up. Well I’m not buying anymore. I have spent hundreds of dollars already I’m sure but they will not get a dime out of me again and if the game gets inconvenient without those tickets then I will just rid myself of the app altogether. That is if I don’t just do it anyway. It’s a scam to get you to spend money. It is falsely advertised. Unrealistic and just a total scam. Save yourself the money and do not buy this app. I’m ashamed of myself for ever falling for it **Update over a year later** Started playing again and even after a year there are still only a handful of humans that actually play. The rest are bots. They set you up to spend money and then they cheat you into spending again. Chinese game, Chinese ways I suppose. They cheat at everything. The even cheat at all makes in the population being homosexuals ### 1/5 — Not good *2020-08-03, version 1.19.0* It’s bad I always lose play 50k win 0coins 🤬 ### 1/5 — El juego malo *2020-07-11, version 1.18.0* Mala actuación estoy en el juego y me saca y esas trampas que si juegas con jugadores 200 niveles más alto pueden mover las bolas para tener mejores tiros eso no debiera estar permitido y menos si solo es para los robots que ponen a jugar ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 🤍🤍🤍🤍 *2025-10-25, version 1.21.1* Ccc ### 5/5 — Surprised me! *2025-09-07* Really ended up loving this game!!
