### 4/5 — Needs Repairs

*2026-05-27, version 2.0*

5/2026, the iPhone hardware has the “Dynamic Lozenge smack in the middle of the scorekeeper now so, no way to tell how many points you’ve got or meet challenges.   Please fix!  (iPhone 15, pro max. )

### 3/5 — It could be better

*2026-05-25*

I play with an iPhone 14 and the “Dynamic island” covers over the score. 
Because of this issue, I keep a pad and pencil next to me when I want to obtain correct amounts for the prizes. 
However the app consistently records the wrong score and it then denies tickets. If it isn’t fixed, I won’t bother playing anymore.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-05-14, version 2.0*

I like this game, but when using the fireworks ball in the call your shots mode, not all of the balls register when they go on a hole so you are missing out on points.

### 3/5 — Can’t see score anymore

*2026-04-17, version 2.0*

With the newer iPhones you can’t see the score as it tallies up anymore. It’s covered up. :(

### 2/5 — Can’t see score!

*2026-03-23, version 2.0*

Would be great if the score and remaining balls were visible on iPhone. Too much guessing.

### 4/5 — Needs Repairs

*2026-03-14, version 2.0*

Purchase options, x2, x3, x10 are broken.   Still lets you buy but these three are greyed out and not accessible AFTER I bought several each.

### 4/5 — Used to be incredible, but it hasn’t really held up

*2026-01-27, version 2.0*

Yeah, this game was insane in the early 2010’s when it came out, but it needs a full remake now, physics are unrealistic in today’s game world

### 2/5 — The Game is Fun

*2026-01-12, version 2.0*

The game is really fun. There are no ads and it's free so that makes it even better. The only thing is I don't think it was made for iPhones. My camera is located right where the score is. So it's hard to ever get any rewards or even know what my score is.

### 3/5 — Viewing the score

*2025-09-24, version 2.0*

Love the game, but the number of balls and points are covered by my camera on my iPhone so I have to guess where I am at on challenges. Otherwise-an addictive 5!

### 3/5 — Open cabinets

*2025-09-21, version 2.0*

It’s been 7 yrs. Are you going to get an update on this game. You can’t even buy it. I am on level 246 with 9 million plus tickets and the Halloween cabinet says I’m -1 level and -1 tickets  to unlock it. It would be nice to unlock that cabinet to finish the game. What’s up with that.

### 4/5 — Open cabinets

*2025-09-07, version 2.0*

This game is very fun and challenging. But I think it has a glitch. I am on level 246 with 9 million plus tickets and the Halloween cabinet says I’m -1 level and -1 tickets  to unlock it. What’s up with that.

### 4/5 — Fun with one minor drawback

*2025-08-20, version 2.0*

Really fun game except that the scoreboard can't be seen on my iPhone 15. When trying to get an exact score, I have to keep score in my head as well as keep track of the number of balls left.

### 2/5 — Used to love this game

*2025-08-07, version 2.0*

But if using on a phone like iPhone 15 pro max, the camera blocks the score board

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2025-06-07*

When I first downloaded this I was on an iPhone 8 and it fit the screen perfectly. Currently I have a 14 Pro Max and now I can no longer see the score or amount of balls I have left because they are hidden under the little black bar at the top of my screen. Please make an adjustment when I can shrink the game

### 3/5 — Need specific instructions

*2025-05-04, version 2.0*

How do you continue with the next set of balls without resetting your score?

### 3/5 — Needs update for new phones

*2025-03-11, version 2.0*

Great game except on iPhone 14 and newer the score is covered by the notch at top of phone. Needs update

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Score

*2026-08-13, version 2.0*

You can’t see your score or how many balls you have left.. it’s very annoying

### 1/5 — Having issues request

*2026-07-02, version 2.0*

So I was trying to score 400 points and I scored 410 points but it says unnecessary you didn’t win so I call your game loser the developer

### 1/5 — Cant see the score

*2026-05-17, version 2.0*

Please resize the app you can't see the score with newer iphones! This is ridiculous

### 1/5 — Score in bad spot

*2025-06-04, version 2.0*

Can’t see score cause phone speaker put score on the side

### 1/5 — Review

*2023-11-13, version 2.0*

You try to play a little bit and you keep taking it off and it is very aggravating.

### 1/5 — Absolutely zero skill!

*2023-07-27, version 2.0*

It doesn’t matter how fast I roll the ball or what angle I roll the ball! I know how to play this game anywhere else and get high scores! This is frustrating! Can you make it so the angles and speed factor in to the score? Or should I just delete now?

### 1/5 — Ok game But.

*2023-03-29, version 2.0*

You should be able to adjust your speed and sensitivity settings of the ball!

### 1/5 — Not the same as it was

*2021-08-31, version 2.0*

They took the original, legendary Skeeball made by free verse way back when and they turned it into a crappy, money-grab remake. This game is downright worse than the original. I’m so dissapointed it shares the name. Also where did all of the balls go? There were thousands it felt like on the old game and on here there’s only a dozen. What gives?

### 1/5 — Horrible game with nowhere to get FAQ

*2019-07-28, version 2.0*

Why is it that I shoot a ball and TWO go flying? Then I slide quick for speed and TWO go out and turtle-like speeds? It’s completely ridiculous and there’s no rhyme or reason for it either. Nowhere to contact developers to get assistance. No tips on how to stop it from happening, it just DOES. Completely half-done, which makes the game very unenjoyable.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2018-08-20, version 1.043*

I had Skee Ball 2 that used to be on the AppStore. You could use your tickets for virtual prizes. I was saddened to see it wasn’t updated, so when I saw this, I was happy. But this isn’t anything like that, minus the game play itself. It’s just not enough to keep me interested in playing. Wish it could’ve been more like that.

### 5/5 — Update for notch needed

*2026-07-05, version 2.0*

Daily challenges are fun but the score is obscured by the notch on some iPhones. Can you move the score a few pixels?

### 5/5 — Relax Time

*2026-07-01, version 2.0*

I am really enjoying the game it’s so relaxing and fun to play.

### 5/5 — I good I love

*2026-06-22*

It’s pretty good you know like it’s fun to play and stuff but like it’s kinda hard to like get up there like buy new levels and stuff but maybe it’s just me. I’m really bad. Let’s see if you can be my score of 2000 tickets. I bet you can’t download now

### 5/5 — Skeeball=FUN!!

*2026-06-19, version 2.0*

I love being able to play skee-ball even when I’m not at an arcade, bars etc. 👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Skeeball

*2026-05-20, version 2.0*

Very entertaining

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-04-26, version 2.0*

It’s perfect, especially because I LOVE skeeball

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-08-05, version 2.0*

I’ve always loved this game when i played it at Chuck-E-Cheese and even though this is not in person, it’s still fun

### 5/5 — Welcome back to the arcade out of my good behavior

*2025-05-03, version 2.0*

All charges have been dropped. Athos Colón is now allowed back in the arcade on the count of his good behavior.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-01-29, version 2.0*

Good time killer

### 5/5 — Great app game reproduction.👍✨

*2024-10-24*

This skee-ball game is about as close to the classic real game as one could get from a phone/app type game. Something like a wii could probably produce a great realistic game, but we’re working from within the confines of a phone/app situation, and this game is fun and mimics the look and feel of the original quite well, which players are surely looking for. I love the perfectly accurate sound effect of the skee-balls rolling down the chute, and the fun 70’s/80’s style background dance music. I think the balls somehow land in the desired holes a liiittle bit more frequently than mine do in real life skee-ball, lol, but that’s fine. It’s overall a really great little game. Very well done!👍✨
