### 5/5 — Class

*2026-04-06, version 3.3c*

Exhilarating

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2026-04-06, version 3.3c*

Just found this.  I have the original Granite on CD but haven’t been able to play it in years.   I’ve been trying to find something that was even close to it for some time to no avail.  Granite 3 is great and lives up to the original.  Amazing work!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-19, version 3.3c*

Great game, really enjoying playing this, we have been needing a game like this since the Granite PC days. Really enjoying the updates to constantly improve the app. Hopefully sometime there will be an option to play against players online, and would really love if you could change to different rinks/backdrops. Really chuffed with the game though, will done to the developers, top job!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-19, version 3.3c*

Takes a bit of getting used to but it’s great fun to play

### 5/5 — Addicting

Fun

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-03-17*

A fantastic curling game! So cool!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-06, version 3.3a*

It’s easy to use, very true to life and not gimmicky - worth the money to get the full access

### 5/5 — Granite 3

*2026-03-06, version 3.3a*

A Really fun game

### 5/5 — I’m addicted

*2026-03-06, version 3.3a*

The tactics take time to develop, but now I’m addicted!

### 5/5 — A must play for curling fans

*2026-03-06, version 3.3a*

Worth every penny!  Responsive dev. Cant wait for more features!

### 5/5 — Addictive and fun

*2026-03-06, version 3.3a*

Really enjoying Granite but something has to be done about which hammer was actually the winning hammer in an end. Numerous obvious errors since I’ve been playing this past few weeks. I get angles have to been taken into consideration but I’m talking clear errors. Other than that, great game. A tournament option would be a good addition in the future.

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2026-03-04, version 3.2c*

Great physics.

### 5/5 — Incredibly Realistic!!!

*2026-03-02, version 3.2c*

This is a great game for regular curlers and for beginners. Built by curlers. I curl 4 times a week and this is so realistic it’s scary.  The do over button on the practice mode is very cool for practicing doubles, triples. 

On my wish list: (1) It would be nice if the non-throwing skip was able to sweep beyond the T-line or when their stone is bumped (2) An indication of how much curl there is on each setting - in feet. (3) Some additional info for the leaderboard such as weekly number of spots movement up/down. (4) A way to play a friend remotely - each person on their own device. (5) Have the middle arrow point down which would help beginners know that it is only to drag the rock further. (6) Ability to turn on people in the stands with fan reaction for good shots. (7) I didn’t realize you can select your Bot to challenge- a message would  make it clearer. 
However, it is a GREAT APP, AS IS. Congrats!!!

### 5/5 — Great graphics

*2026-03-02, version 3.2c*

Fun game that feels like you’re really curling!

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2026-03-01, version 3.2c*

The couple of minor flaws have been corrected. This is now a very good game.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2026-02-19, version 3.1a1*

No instructions on how to play. Absolutely pointless

### 1/5 — A subscription!?

*2026-02-17*

Would have paid $10 for this, played it for a few weeks and been satisfied. But you’re banking on people just forgetting about it and taking that $8/year indefinitely. If you ever decide to sell this game, I’ll take a look. I’m not paying in perpetuity for a simple game. Dissapointing.

**Developer response:** Agreed - the subscription was a mistake. 
It's now a one-time purchase and is on sale until the end of the month.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-02-16, version 3.0b-1*

This game is terrible. Do NOT get it the bots are so stupid they will aim for out and get it in the middle of the house and then when you sweep the rock goes the opposite way you try to sweep. Like it’s terrible.

### 2/5 — Bring back call shot

*2026-03-18, version 3.3c*

Bring back option of calling shot preview only. Game is no longer fun

### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2026-02-22, version 3.2a*

I understand the premise that you have to sweep to adjust the mistakes from your shooter. However, it just feels very unfair when the throw is so awful from your thrower that you simply cannot adjust it in time and end up losing. It makes it feel like a waste of time when there is an outcome which was out of your control. Especially if you lose it because of that on the final throw. Curling is also a sport which most people don’t understand, so guidance in relation to strategy is required against strong AI. Cutting away from the game at the end without displaying the score is also lazy developing. Has good potential but needs work.

### 2/5 — Score

*2026-02-19, version 3.1a1*

The game refreshes at the final end before you get a chance to see what the score was.

### 3/5 — Frustrating inaccuracy

*2026-03-24, version 3.3c*

The game includes a kind of ‘forced inaccuracy’ where some shots will randomly alter the power and direction away from what you chose. Through no fault of your own, it just seems to be random. This makes it impossible to play because your shots keep messing up. I hope they remove this feature.

### 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

### 4/5 — Free to play

*2026-04-07, version 3.3c*

It’s a fun game I love it but when I can’t play against the bots I just delete the game and reinstall it so you guys should make it free it would be a lot better for me I play a lot

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Gets better and better

*2026-05-15, version 3.5b*

The gradual updates on this game are excellent and making it better and better each time. It’s really fun to play and gives you a much better understanding of the strategies needed to win.

### 5/5 — Upgrand level

*2026-04-21*

So easy... Ai level up please
