### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-08, version 3.5g*

This is by far the best curling game, and it keeps getting better with every new version. Graphics and physics are super realistic and the AI plays solid strategy.

### 4/5 — Great game when putting kids to bed

*2026-07-08, version 3.5f*

Really enjoy the game - shame it does not have a linked 2 player as would love to play against my friends

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-06-19, version 3.5f*

So much fun. Hoping for more features in the future. Like tournaments, leagues, tie breakers, more dynamic rankings, etc. the ranking kinda game kinda stalls out without these but it’s still fun to play.

### 5/5 — The best of the best out there!

*2026-06-13, version 3.5f*

UPDATE:
I left the review at the end of this when the game first came out. It was great but had some room for improvement. Since leaving that review, the dev has worked tirelessly on improving it and updating it. It is now, by far, one of the best curling simulators I have ever played (and on ipad no less). They have updated it at least a dozen times and it just keeps getting better and better. If you love curling, give this app a try!

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
This game is fantastic! The visuals are great, the sound effects are spot on, and the physics are the best I’ve seen.

The only reason it didn’t get a 5/5 from me is that there is still definitely some room for improvement. For example, in my experience playing it, it did not enforce the no-tick rule (which I believe is the WCF standard at this point). I also wish that there was a better way to control the weight. I’m playing on a sizeable iPad, and still only a couple millimetres difference on the weight bar can be six to eight feet in the difference.

The AI strategy could also use some work, but that’s the complaint with every curling game, so I won’t hold that against them.

### 1/5 — Update 3.5 Does Not Work

*2026-06-11, version 3.5f*

I’ve been playing this game on my MacBook for a few months and quite enjoyed it. I’ve noticed the update applied a few days ago. The application will no longer run on my machine.

### 5/5 — Hux

*2026-06-06, version 3.5e*

Very strategic and enjoyable game.

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2026-06-04, version 3.5e*

Still awesome but the new update makes the camera view move when I don’t want it to. Was better when it stayed where I put it

### 5/5 — Great Game/Simulation

*2026-05-30, version 3.5e*

If this ever had a proper online option with tournaments, single match ups it would turn a great game into an amazing one

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-27*

Great game! So much fun. Wish it was more in depth with tournaments and such..and extra ends if tied but really can’t complain too much.

**Developer response:** Thanks! I'm continuing to improve it and tournaments are on the list.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-26, version 3.5d*

Love that you can play on IOS, but tried to have people pay for it on Android and they are unable to.
