Not anymore *2025-12-18, version 1.12.16* Review 1) There is one other bowling game that came out years ago called championship bowling that reviled all others at that time. Since then Strike has taken its place which I find to be the easiest to play and with most accurate ball to pin reaction. There are only two things missing from this game. "Championship Bowling" had the back ground sounds you would hear in a real bowling alley; music of the times (it had two time periods, the fifties and modern times), and various vocals from the house management. If "Strike" had those incorporated into the game, nothing would compete with it. Otherwise I would give it five stars. Review 2) I paid for and have played this bowling game for a long time now and I rated my 1st review (above) as 4 stars. Then the developers decided they needed to make a change. They changed how the pins wobble if they don’t fall over. I bowled candle pin bowling most of my life from a kid on Saturday mornings to adult bowling on two leagues a week including working there doing lane maintenance and repair. I cannot for the life of me understand why they had to change how the pin wobbles. It simply does not wobble like that 90% of the time. Plus I’ve had pins wobble so long that when it finally fell I didn’t get credit for it. I think the game sucks now. I get splits most of the time and have actually seen pins wobble without actually getting hit. It’s too bad. It was a great game at one time. ### 3/5 — Physics update ruined it for me… *2025-10-19, version 1.12.16* The pins are too wobbly. ### 4/5 — good but idk why this happening *2025-07-17, version 1.12.16* this is a very good game but one thing, i don’t know why when i roll the ball into where people normally get strikes it gives me 9 or 8 pins, and when i go into like the middle pin i always get a strike so idk what happening ### 2/5 — Glitches and freezes screen *2025-04-22, version 1.12.16* Just like the title says. It lags when I open the game. Was not able to play the full game. But I bet it is a good game. ### 3/5 — Bug Report *2025-02-14, version 1.12.16* Game is good overall but sometimes when I get in, I experience lag and I can’t hear the sound. ### 3/5 — Ooo *2025-01-08, version 1.12.16* Inconsistent ### 3/5 — Not quite there…. *2024-12-22, version 1.12.16* Okay, I’ve been bowling for over 30 years and can say this game has potential but isn’t quite there as far as pin action or physics. The ball weight feels like an 8lb ball. Getting it to drive is a chore. It feels like it’s still spinning when it gets to the pins. Then again this game suffers from a lot of “same shot, different result.” Who knows where your release point will actually be or if you gave it enough power. Who knows whether the ball will carry, break early or even start to roll by the time it gets to the pins. Speaking of the pins. I could throw the same shot and get the same ball motion every time and the ball will seem to hit them different every time. Leaving weird splits that only a super light ball that can’t drive really well will leave. I’ve had pins hit a single standing pin multiple times for it not to even fall, and pins barely tap other pins to make them fall. It’s very inconsistent. Simply put, the game needs work. The devs need to hit a real bowling alley and talk with some club pros. Not a good game but an okay one at best. ### 4/5 — Good, but a slight problem *2024-07-12, version 1.12.14* Everyone loves Strike!, right? When I opened the game, I saw your usual TouchMechanics loading screen. Then all of a sudden, an ad pops up and my game crashed and I had to wait for what feels like FOREVER for it to load. TouchMechanics, whatever you do, PLEASE FIX THIS IN YOUR NEXT UPDATE! I can’t take this anymore. ### 1/5 — Old Apple TV remote required *2024-06-23, version 1.12.14* Won’t work with the current silver remote. ### 1/5 — A pin spins and spins..... *2024-06-22, version 1.12.14* Well, I tried to play again! Now, It will not let me register any name…pretty stupid to lose players because they cannot get an approved name to use……maybe in 2 more years…. ### 1/5 — No way to play *2024-06-12, version 1.12.14* There just doesn’t seem to be any way to play. It stays in endless tutorial mode with no way out, that I can find. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be *2026-02-18, version 1.12.16* Used to be a good game but now you can’t even play once with out a commercial joo u suc. Will look for another bowling game ### 1/5 — Collision physics don’t carry through all pins *2025-12-30, version 1.12.16* Once the ball hits the pins, the energy doesn’t carry through to the rest of the pins they just wobble when they definitely should fall. ### 1/5 — 노젬 *2025-12-14* 쓰레기겜 ### 1/5 — Rotten game *2025-12-10, version 1.12.16* The ball just goes wherever it wants. It can’t be aimed in any way. You can line up a shot the exact same way every time, and the ball will go a different place every time. Very frustrating, not fun at all. ### 1/5 — 병신겜 *2025-10-11* ㅋㅋ하지마쇼 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with current Apple TV remotes *2025-04-21, version 1.12.16* Waste of time installing. Apparently the new Apple TVs don’t have a giro in the remote. This isn’t mentioned during install or within the game. Developer clearly can’t be bothered updating the app so uninstalled. ### 1/5 — 폰 좆창내는 게임 *2025-02-18* 광고 존나뜨고 갑자기 렉 심해져서 핸드폰 장애병신새끼로 만들어놓고 게임튕김 ### 1/5 — 갑자기 광고 한 번에 세 번 스킵하게 쳐 만듦ㅋㅋ고1아 개발자 *2024-12-16* ㅈㄱㄴ ### 1/5 — 진짜 바로 삭제했습니다 *2024-11-11* 무슨 한판만 해도 광고가 뜨나요 진짜 못해먹겠네 ### 1/5 — rude *2024-07-14, version 1.12.14* game is rude ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It just felt right! *2026-02-24, version 1.12.16* Which is kind of funny as I don’t bowl. I’ve bowled 6 games in 74 years. The first 3 in high school against a college cousin who was taking bowling! I beat him all 3 games in 117-125 ranges. He never asked me again. 20 years later 3 mire games and got a trigger finger now. I actually was looking for a good curling game. Tried at least 10. As an ‘also by’ I discover this bowling app. My first game was also 117. LoL. I kept refining my technique, I couldn’t break away to write this review. Bought it ASAP. ### 5/5 — Realistic and simple *2026-02-23, version 1.12.16* I’ve been a competitive bowler for decades and this is the best option for a simple, low-ad bowling game out there that actually has realistic pin action. 5/5 stars. ### 5/5 — 10/10 Perfect Bowling Game *2026-01-13, version 1.12.16* This Is The Perfect Bowling Game And I Highly Recommend You Play It, It’s Fun And Challenging, And One Of The Best Bowling Games I Have Ever Played And When You Play It, You Will Think It Is Too! ### 5/5 — Lucy *2025-09-02, version 1.12.16* Opening ### 5/5 — Duckpin and candlepin *2025-08-02, version 1.12.16* So, where else are you going to find a boing game with candlepin, duckpin and rubberband duckpin? The physics is quite good for all of these games. A few very minor improvements could be made (shallower gutters in duckpin and candlepin for instance), but you will not find a better app if you’re looking for duckpin or candlepin. ### 5/5 — Bowling *2025-02-12, version 1.12.16* I think this game is so good I’ve been bowling for 5 years and I love it but I wish you and hook ### 5/5 — Good game! *2025-01-25, version 1.12.16* Nice game! ### 5/5 — Letters too big *2024-09-12, version 1.12.16* Please can you make the letters a bit smaller please if you do! ### 5/5 — bb9_.mm 팔 ㄱㄱ *2024-05-05* 왤케 렉걸려 ### 5/5 — Nice but *2024-01-11, version 1.12.14* You should make a mini game of getting the 7-10 spilt to get the achievement --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
