Very limited with options; cannot change profile picture, upgrades for cues are mediocre. Cannot exit a match without closing out the entire app, cannot view your entire profile, etc. Most recently, the app deleted my profile and made me start over from level one, and no, you CANNOT recover your account and data through the app. But it’s fun when it works, IF it works. Don’t waste your time. ### 4/5 — I really like this game for family and friends *2026-01-01, version 1.17* I would definitely recommend this game for family ### 3/5 — Great BUT *2025-11-14, version 1.17* For the 5th 0r 6th time I lost my credits, diamonds, standing and cues. Played it this morning with no problem. Came back and no name but guest. Very sad. When it works, it is fun. ### 2/5 — Bad mechanics very buggy but it has potential *2025-11-10, version 1.17* Can’t get pass certain screens unless I close app fully . The players are bots ### 4/5 — Multiplayer *2025-10-09, version 1.13* Plz add multiplayer plz it would be a lot more fun ### 4/5 — Need better server *2025-09-18, version 1.13* This game feels authentic, genuine like an actual pool table game. It has some much potentials. Developers should think of having a facebook connection type of thing, where people can play across platforms with their social media accounts not just apple ID. That would increase the match makings and also let options for people to keep their own Facebook profile picture. It would beat all the other pool games no cap! ### 3/5 — Server Simulation and pairings *2025-08-26, version 1.13* In a recent update it is now doing something called Server is Running a Simulation. And all of a sudden the table is in a different configuration, plays you just made are now gone, even table ownership changes. All fine and dandy if this is a way to deal with latency but not when you’re playing for 1/2 million. And then they are also now pairing aces with novices and everything in between so once again playing for a 1/2 million becomes aggravating when your playing against someone 5 ranks above you or more. ### 2/5 — Stayed paused or frozen *2025-08-17, version 1.13* Idk what happened but lost a match because after 5 minutes waiting and the other person timed out I was just sitting there. Took multiple pics. Not worth the time or trouble ### 2/5 — Constantly freezes *2025-08-14, version 1.13* Game could be fun, but it freezes have to delete the game and reinstall 3 to 5 times a day ### 4/5 — 为何没有中文？ *2025-08-05, version 1.12* 什么时候出中文，不然不知道玩内容是什么！ ### 4/5 — Bots to powerful *2025-07-22, version 1.11* The bots are way to powerful and I never get to break the bots always breaks ### 2/5 — Buggie *2025-07-07, version 1.09* No matter how careful you are on the pull of the cue stick in the green, it always strikes elsewhere making for very frustrating play. ### 3/5 — Flaws *2025-06-19, version 1.07* I really like this game. However, once I go past the first level of tourney there’s a significant glitch. You aim your cue and think all is good but when you release the power of the shot, your aim is changed by a ghost in the machine and your shot misses the pocket. Frustrating as all get out. ### 1/5 — it just deserves a 1 star *2025-06-14* why are there so many bugs and it feels like the bots perfectly line up the shots. especially when they have no chance of making a shot they make it near impossible for you to get a good shot. idk this game needs a lot more developing and it feels like it was put together last minute. ### 1/5 — Honestly just boring *2025-06-06, version 1.06* This pool game is stacked full of cosmetics that only accentuate the fact that the mechanics are a terrible copy of the original 8 ball pool game. the gameplay is obviously mainly bots. I’m deleting it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst Pool Game on App Store *2026-01-16, version 1.17* Terrible pool game ### 1/5 — Blank *2025-12-31, version 1.17* Everything is blank you can’t play a game everything disappeared. What the hell? ### 1/5 — Scam game *2025-11-30, version 1.17* Saved up diamonds to buy chest, but got nth… absolute scam ### 1/5 — Great BUT *2025-10-04, version 1.13* For the 5th 0r 6th time I lost my credits, diamonds, standing and cues. Played it this morning with no problem. Came back and no name but guest. Very sad. When it works, it is fun. ### 1/5 — Macht keinen Spaß *2025-09-22, version 1.13* Eigentlich kein schlechtes Spiel, was mich richtig stört : Hochwertige Spieler mit den besten Queces treiben sich in den niederen Stufen rum. Man hat, wenn man wenig Gold hat, sehr wenig Chancen zu gewinnen. Das sollte auch etwas ausgeglichener sein bis 50 000 Gold . Ich spiele das nun ne Woche und konnte kaum Gold verdienen , weil es sofort von den Spielern mit den rosa/pinken Rahmen abgenommen wird. So macht das nicht wirklich Spaß . Wenn man von vorne herein sehr wenig bis keine Chance in den niedrigen Rängen bekommt. Wird gelöscht Tschüss ### 1/5 — Bots bots bots *2025-08-10, version 1.12* I always get boys (like I’ve only seen one other actual human) and the bots know the result of anything and I don’t even get to play, I have won 1 out of 50 matches ### 1/5 — I did love the game but *2025-07-30* The game just deleted my account…no explanation, no apology no anything. I had all the new Jurassic World pool cues and that’s the whole reason I’m playing and I now back to being a gust again. I want my account back and don’t play because it will happened to you and all your purchases will be gone along with your progress ### 1/5 — Bots *2025-07-25, version 1.11* The game is a fun concept, but the bots you face are like super good for no reason. Like not to the point that Im calling them super good because they are good, they're bots, the programming made them to good, within their first time hitting the balls, they get like 4 of them in, yall need to nerf the bots SIGNIFICANTLY ### 1/5 — Underdeveloped *2025-07-13, version 1.10* Game is extremely underdeveloped, contains several bugs, and 90% of the games I have played are bots who are either extremely bad or extremely amazing. I started playing and it reset my account after I had already a decent level cue, and on my second go at it, the game does not allow me to change my username. Original is much better. ### 1/5 — I have a problem *2025-07-12, version 1.10* Hi developers of this game!I have a problem, when new update came out and daily rewards was updated, im dont get mosasaurus and triceratops card but game saying to me what I get them, please can you give me this cards🙏 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super Spiel *2025-10-10, version 1.13* Das Spiel macht richtig Spaß, mit Suchtfaktor! Die Queues zu sammeln macht Laune. Optisch auch insgesamt sehr ansprechend. Als einziges fehlt mir die Funktion, Freunde hinzuzufügen und gegeneinander zu spielen. Gerne weiter so! P.s. Let us trade cards please! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Amazing game but… *2025-08-02, version 1.12* There is a glitch that they are fixing. If you open and your stuff is gone: delete the game then redownload and it will be back ### 5/5 — Best pool game right now! *2025-07-11, version 1.09* Blown away by the ball physics. Well done!! And the collaboration is hot!!! Universal Studios! Hope there will be more to come!!! ### 5/5 — unbelievable *2025-07-01, version 1.09* nobody plays this game so you play bots that have a 95% success rate of winning. i don’t ever get a turn unless im breaking. just a poorly made game. ### 5/5 — Realistic and fun! *2025-06-03* The gameplay and physics for the game feel really good. The variety of cues and tables with their effects are also a great aspect of the game. Being able to level up cues adds a lot of replayability. ### 5/5 — Best pool game. *2025-06-03, version 1.06* GamePigeon pool is dead. This is the best pool game now! ### 5/5 — Bbb *2025-05-30, version 1.05* Good ### 5/5 — Pool master *2025-05-30, version 1.05* Pool masters is just mind blowing Love this app❤️ ### 5/5 — 8 ball pool but better *2025-05-30, version 1.05* Love the game and franchises featured in it ### 5/5 — Best Pool Game Ever *2025-05-30, version 1.05* Best graphic and experience --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
