I don’t love how it freezes after I’ve played it for too long though. I literally play this game for two hours and then it freezes after I break. Can someone fix this please? ### 5/5 — so fun *2025-10-01, version 1.1.0* i play ts all day yo this is the game it's elite no match for it no wifi needed yes ads after every game but you can just go in airplane mode you can listen to music while playing too very fun you have the option to turn off the sounds and change the color of the pool table 😋 ### 3/5 — Fatal Flaw: Opponents Ball Hit 1st *2025-09-03, version 1.1.0* Pretty good game with the exception of this serious defect in logic. It also fails against the computer, so sometimes you win because of it. (No fun) It's random, there isn't a single use case where it happens. I just had a perfect setup to run the table, sinking two of my balls in the corner pocket & leaving myself open to close out the rest. But even though there were no opponent's balls anywhere near my shot, I lost my turn to this defect. Also misuses the term "potted" for "scratched." Potted is good, scratched is not. ### 4/5 — Mr.Disappointed *2025-09-02, version 1.1.0* I began playing a few games and the next game I played, the sound stopped. I deleted it and downloaded it 3 more times and still no sound, I wish you would fix it. The game is very good too play. ### 4/5 — Best pool game I’ve tried… *2025-08-13, version 1.1.0* Best pool game I’ve tried…although I really wish the devs would update it to fix what are likely compatibility issues with MacOS since their last update of 4 years ago. Otherwise I’d give it 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Friendly Game *2025-07-29, version 1.1.0* Love to play pool it was hard at first but now I’m a pro. ### 5/5 — Eight ball *2025-07-13, version 1.1.0* Game is really fun ### 4/5 — Flawed, but my favorite. *2025-06-06, version 1.1.0* This is by no means the most functional billiards game on the app store. First of all, the guidelines (the highlighted lines that show you what angle the ball will travel after a shot) are completely inaccurate. I find myself trying to depend on them, but they’re always off and they let me down. The touch controls are also very sensitive, so getting the perfect angle on a shot is difficult. Overall, aiming the cue is the least enjoyable part of this game… which is unfortunate, considering that this is a billiards game, and that is all of the input you can give. BUT aside from all of these issues, this is still the best billiards app on the app store. No ads interrupt your game, no cosmetics or microtransactions to buy, and the game is only a couple of megabytes in size. I mean, why are all of the other pool games nearly half a gigabyte? They take up so much space for no reason. I don’t want to delete my precious family photos to download a pool app. The AI is also very challenging which makes the experience more enjoyable. This game is all that it needs to be, all that you want it to be, and it’s the best billiards game I can find on the app store. 4 stars, though I’d make it 5 stars if the issues were fixed. Thank you for this simple billiards game! (: ### 5/5 — Azthenadzs *2025-05-11, version 1.1.0* I like the game so much I keep winning this game is the best pool game ever writed by @Jachin2020 ### 3/5 — Fatal Flaw: Opponents Ball Hit 1st *2025-03-18* Pretty good game with the exception of this serious defect in logic.
