Haven’t played “pro” for cash yet. Hopefully soon! ### 5/5 — John 3:16 = Rx for eternal life. *2023-02-10, version 1.3.0* Say Amen somebody! ### 5/5 — Skillz duckpin *2023-01-23, version 1.3.0* Love the fame seeing I’ve been doing it my whole life. Just like being at the lanes ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-11-04, version 1.3.0* Just about the only Duck pin app around. ### 5/5 — Yhammi *2022-09-28, version 1.3.0* It’s great ! It’s very entertaining! ### 5/5 — Bowling *2022-08-28* I love it you can get real money quick if you’re good enough ### 5/5 — Bowling *2022-07-19* Top 👌🏾 ### 4/5 — Problems *2022-06-30, version 1.2.2* The pins slide too much; this results in weird splits. It is too hard to take out 5-pin on first ball; this results in too many splits. Lacks realism at times; I took out ONLY the 1-2-4 pins on a pocket hit! Fun game. ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-05-06, version 1.2.2* Fun game ### 5/5 — Súper *2022-01-20, version 1.2.2* Entretenido ### 5/5 — Having fun *2022-01-17, version 1.2.2* Very entertaining ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Split After Split *2022-12-17* This game is based on leaving splits. Doesn’t matter the line played, the 5 pin stands the majority of the time. Pocket split after split. Pins that slide, but ironically just don’t fall. The game just becomes redundant after a few games. It’s the same with their candle pin bowling game app too. ### 1/5 — Candlepin *2020-10-08, version 1.2.2* The glitch from the bowling ball goes thru the pins. Which means have to slow roll it. ### 1/5 — What a disappointment *2019-09-13, version 1.0.0* This games will freeze up and you will loose those points and it will cause you to abort the game. VERY DISAPPOINTED! What a waste! ### 2/5 — No where like duckpin *2021-10-12* There is no side to side bounce. I could throw the ball exactly the same. And won’t go where you throw it. Miss clear spares etc. I bowl duckpin in a couple leagues and is my favorite game. Please improve this game. Bowl a few games and watch the pins in real life. ### 2/5 — Wow *2019-11-24, version 1.0.0* HOW...JUST HOW DO YOU EVEN GET ANOUND SPLITS IN THIS GAME. LITERALLY EVERY FRAME IS A SPLIT AND IT MAKES ME RAGE EVERY TIME ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN GET A STRIKE.so I simply deleted the app.have a blessed day ### 3/5 — Pins *2025-01-21, version 1.5.0* I bowled a game where the pins fell late and gave me the lower score, including a strike. Please do better ### 3/5 — PLEASE UPDATE *2022-06-22* Great game but you must update it, it doesn’t work well with skill because the last updat was a year ago ### 3/5 — Glitches *2022-01-28* There has been several times that the game glitches and put me as aborting the game. Also I play other Skillz games and the game will not allow me to have the same email. These are things that should be fixed. ### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating *2020-03-14* These pins do not act like regular bowling pins and the ball is smaller than a bowling ball. As a result, most of what you know about bowling doesn’t apply. I haven’t figured it out, in any case. ### 4/5 — Long live Duckpin!!! *2023-07-30* As a mechanic of duckpin bowling at Collins bowladrome in Billerica, MA I must say this game is really cool. The sounds are very similar to real duckpin. Another great thing about this game is there no annoying ads every 20 seconds. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Strike!esports DuckPin *2026-07-09* Very challenging I end uppaying my credit on this duckpin bowling for fifty buck or ten pin bowling or the Candlepin my bank said it went thru And didn’t get it ### 5/5 — Duckpin is a great way to pass time while enjoying a bit of head to head competition for real Cash!! *2025-09-13* It’s great !
