Don’t win more than 5 games in a row, the algorithm sends alarms. ### 2/5 — Update Ads Ads and more Ads *2026-08-18, version 4.4.0* This was a really fun pool game. I played consistently even though the options to buy things was incredibly greedy. I’m happy to pay a bit for a good game, but the cost has always been a bit offensive. Now, they have added a ridiculous amount of ads. I get through maybe two games and an ad pops up. You are about lose me and I’m guessing I won’t be the only one. ### 3/5 — Get rid of the ads *2026-08-08, version 4.4.0* Great game except for the cue balls. Instead of being good at pool, you can just buy cue balls that tell you exactly where the ball is going. Oh, and now there’s ads 🙄 ### 3/5 — Super greedy but a good game *2026-08-05, version 4.4.0* I would definitely give this game five stars if they weren’t so expensive. In order to progress they offer ridiculously priced options. I can understand $2 $5 even $10, but a huge percentage of the options are $25 or $50. The lower priced options are for comically small items. ### 4/5 — Definitely addictive *2026-07-19, version 4.3.1* I love this game but I don’t understand the coins. What am I to do with 23.1 million coins They should be worth something? ### 2/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-07-17, version 4.3.1* Until the ads came this was great not anymore worst game ### 3/5 — Demoted me for no reason *2026-07-10, version 4.3.0* I was busy with work for a month, finally got back on and saw I was demoted not just one like 3 ranks. Instead of rewarding me to motivate me to play again you guys did the exact opposite of other apps. Think about human pathology, when someone goes to a casino and they win they want to keep playing. You guys doing the opposite lol. Degrading ranks just cause someone hasn’t played in a month and you hope for people to keep playing? How will that workout for you? Please look into gaming and human psychology. All other games to the opposite to keep people playing. ### 3/5 — Ball color *2026-07-10, version 4.3.0* I wish the stripes were more noticeable than the solid. It’s hard to tell the two apart sometimes. The stripes need to have more white like as in make the colored stripe smaller. ### 5/5 — Ball Buster! *2026-07-04, version 4.3.0* When ever is ask for a rematch and they say “I’m outta her!” I always laugh!🎱 ### 5/5 — Best Pool Game on the Market *2026-06-27, version 4.3.0* I have been playing this game for the past three months and I got to say this is the best pool game on the market. I have tried pretty much all the pool apps but this one stands out as by far the best. I love the interactive phase of the game, it gives every player an equal opportunity to buy cues, balls, tables and other kool in game items to enhance your experience. It does get tougher when you are faced with an opponent that has more skill, control, tactics and experience but as you keep playing you become better at it. I love the levels that it has each individual player on and you can compete, play better to move up the levels bcoz the standings change every week. It doesn’t matter if another user has a better table, cue or even ball it all depends on your ability and mastery. Highly recommend it to all pool lovers. ### 4/5 — To bad I love your game *2026-06-26, version 4.3.0* I love this game But with your cue balls with guidelines that when you aim goes almost in the pockets it’s to easy Even a blind person can beat me Not every day that I can enjoy a great game like your’s It would be nice to have tables sections with only old school pool with only the little guide lines It would be more interesting to play ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The Game. Cheats *2026-08-25, version 4.4.0* Just wrapped up a game where my power 20 shot didn’t travel as far as normal and left me with the cue ball right behind the opponent ball as the eight ball. On his next turn he smashed the ball hard out of frustration and sank a three rail bank shot with perfect position on the eight. Um … no. ### 1/5 — YUCK *2026-08-14, version 4.4.0* Stuck in the wrong mode for playing pool . I now understand that all these people are being paid to leave these phony reviews. This isn’t a pool game it is overrated marbles on the sand game . The people who have claimed this has great physics never played pool at all ever ! ### 1/5 — T. rex *2026-07-28, version 4.3.2* This game does not have flames or mustard ### 1/5 — Lost account *2026-07-25, version 4.3.2* Lost my account twice ### 1/5 — Update? Where is the update? *2026-07-24, version 4.3.2* Been playing this game for a while got the balls I like got the cue I like but now it’s update time and I can’t get back into the game. They have some message to take you to the update but the only option is to get the game like I don’t have it already this sucks but the game is fun hope they get it back working with all the things I won ### 1/5 — Lost all progress after update *2026-07-24, version 4.3.2* I’ve been grinding this game for months slowly upgrading my favorite cue, then after a forced update my progress is reset to square one!? Not cool! ### 1/5 — Inconsistent *2026-07-17, version 4.3.0* Not a great game. Like lots of others it tries to get you to buy items to improve your game. In the interim you play against players with much better equipment, have to deal with varying amounts of time to get your shot in, and inconsistent game features like not being able to consistently tap on ball to see direction of travel. In shot there are better options. ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-06-25, version 4.3.0* Junk ### 1/5 — Bot City *2026-06-18, version 4.3.0* This game is kind of ridiculous. They offer ball upgrades and enhanced pool cues, but then they stick Bots in the game to run the table on you.In one Vs one games, every other player is a bot. And they make outrageously hard full table bank kick shots among others lol. They already jacked up the prices on the pool balls, now they are taking your money and then having their bots wipe you out and screwing up your win %. ### 1/5 — Terrible cue ball physics *2026-06-05, version 4.2.0* If they had a default cue angle of 1 degree instead of 0 draw shots would be possible but that concept is apparently foreign to the developers and you have to adjust it every time u want to play backspin wasting time after lining up the shot and adjusting the point of contact on the cue ball it’s an absolutely imbecilic move on the developers part since in reality a 0 degree cue angle is impossible ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just suggestion *2026-09-08, version 4.5.0* I would have given this 5 stars but I don’t think we should be able to forfeit at the end of the game just because someone is butt-hurt about losing. I think if they are gonna forfeit it needs to be done in first 30 seconds. Also, we need more texting options please ### 5/5 — Ehhhhh is oh k 4 a pool game *2026-08-25, version 4.4.0* The graphics and pool bal abilities r 2nd rate ### 5/5 — DUBAY 🧌 *2026-08-13, version 4.4.0* DUBAY 🫯🧌 ### 5/5 — Cool pool *2026-08-09, version 4.4.0* This game is pretty good. I’m getting used to it. I like it. ### 5/5 — Best pool game *2026-07-29, version 4.4.0* Number 1 billiards ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-28, version 4.3.2* What a cool game! ### 5/5 — Brilliant game *2026-07-19, version 4.3.1* Brilliant game and game play ### 5/5 — Really nice *2026-07-15, version 4.3.0* Loads of real fun. ### 5/5 — Good game! *2026-07-12, version 4.3.0* I got recommended this game by my father who absolutely enjoys playing it and I can see why! I am a fan of the 8 ball pool game and haven’t been playing this one for long but the graphics seem to be better and it is quite fun to play! So yeah guys have a go and download and play as I don’t think you will be disappointed! ### 5/5 — You guys aren’t slick *2026-07-08, version 4.3.0* When I’m doing g the buy 3 shots game, it’s obvious when I’m winning to much that something happens and it becomes impossible to hit a bullseye.
