There are some bugs like my joystick was stuck on up so it was annoying. Also Theron Tenniele is basically just rigged Ai. Never hit it to his forehand because he will get tons of power shots in one rally while I’m just getting two to three in one rally. Other people have noticed this so yes, I agree with IndiHawk Sega please read your reviews! I give this a four stars because it’s really realistic and does have the right rules to regular tennis, but definitely can be hard at times. ### 3/5 — Bluetooth keep crashing *2025-04-04, version 3.4.1.0* Love the game but the bluetooth keep crashing when playing with another player and wifi never connects me to another player… just have to play with computer. Why do yall not read reviews??? ### 4/5 — Such a good idea ruined by ads *2025-03-11, version 3.4.1.0* Instead of an ad after every game, just make it like a long ad after the match is over. ### 4/5 — Make it on Mac please *2025-01-08, version 3.3.2.0* Would love to see it on Mac ### 3/5 — Problem with the UI ratio displayed on the full-screen iPhone. *2024-12-29, version 3.3.2.0* Fix it like you SEGA do on the Crazy Taxi please. Then I will buy the paid version. PLEASE! ### 4/5 — Tennis *2024-12-24, version 3.3.2.0* Good game but old ### 2/5 — Keep crashing *2024-12-14, version 3.3.2.0* The game dynamics, graphics and controls are all perfect fit for me but ... It’s always all the day long keeps crashing. I can’t even complete just one game. Please solve this so I can play and sure can watch ads, no problem at all. Regards. ### 2/5 — Not as fun as it use to be. *2024-12-08, version 3.3.2.0* This game isn’t as fun as it use to be. Before this version the have here, it was the Dreamcast version which is more fun. There isn’t much to do in the tour but to play in the tournaments. Before you was able to purchase stuff like tennis rackets, outfits, etc. Now all you can do with the money you earn from tournaments and sponsors is to use it to enter other to tournaments to get your rank up. ### 4/5 — This game inspires me. Highly recommend!!! *2024-08-28, version 3.3.0.4* I've loved tennis since childhood and play it regularly. ### 3/5 — Kane *2024-07-29, version 3.3.0.4* While playing, the screen turns white after the advertisement ends. Please fix this ### 3/5 — Good but difficultly is too easy *2024-07-29, version 3.3.0.4* The game is probably one of the most realistic tennis games U have ever played but fore starters ADDS WHY after every set there is an add like no and also the difficulty is so EASY if you play for 1 hour you might be the best in the entire game so Evan though if doesn’t keep you entertained for very long if is super realistic and has a great plot ### 3/5 — Your role is often forcibly weakened *2024-07-28, version 3.3.0.4* You will find that in the key games and key points of some major events, your role is often weakened, only running without swinging, or not hitting the ball, or returning the ball is weak. If this situation is only a few times, it may be my operation mistake, but this situation has happened too many times. Obviously, the game developer does not want the player to win smoothly and forcibly weakens the performance. This is very low-level. ### 3/5 — Bluetooth keep crashing *2024-07-09, version 3.3.0.4* Love the game but the bluetooth keep crashing when playing with another player and wifi never connects me to another player… just have to play with computer. ### 3/5 — Artificial difficulty multiplier *2024-06-07, version 3.1.3.1* The core game is good, enjoyable gameplay and smooth graphics. The programming of this artificial difficulty multiplier, however, ruins the experience. Suddenly your player can’t move, can’t hit shots inside the court, or can only hit soft floating shots right back to the opponent. And it’s obvious when the programming code kicks in, going from match point to losing 15 games in a row (after dominating the opponent) just makes the game unplayable. It’s a guarantee against the number 1-3 seed and the scripted rival character. ### 2/5 — Black screen glitching? *2024-05-19, version 3.1.3.1* In the middle of an active match, my screen will go black (the visible light when you led screen is on but isn’t presenting anything). I have to turn my phone off, and quickly switch it back on to what most often ends immediately in the oppositions point. It’s just this game that does this to my phone not sure if it’s a setting thing, but I use and iPhone 11. Plus adds are annoying, every match ends with an add that could be 10-40 seconds. ### 3/5 — It’s a good game but it’s not fair *2024-04-21, version 3.1.3.1* The game is good and I like that it’s very similar to tennis, however the game will make you play horrible especially against TT it’s not really fair and they made his forehand boost way to easy for it recharge. Also they make sure he can hit a forehand at any time possible. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great game, but removing multiplayer makes it dead *2025-06-05, version 4.0.0.1* Such a shame ### 1/5 — TRASH APP OF ALL TIME!!! *2025-04-01, version 3.4.1.0* THIS IS THE MOST STUPID GAME IVE ERER PLAY NGL YOU NEED TO WATCH 30 SEC AD EVERY SINGLE TIME BEFORE AND AFTER YOU ENTER A GAME!!! RIDICULES!!!! DON’T DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — Worst Experience *2025-03-30, version 3.4.1.0* Just to have ads, the game gas started going nuts. Number of bugs just because of ads, keeps getting stuck or displaying white screen when ads pop up or when the cross is clicked. The amazing childhood experience is lost unfortunately. Eventhough its the best tennis game in the market. ### 1/5 — Very laggy in new ios *2025-01-13, version 3.3.2.0* Unplayable in new ios ### 1/5 — Worst if not the best game ever *2024-09-05, version 3.3.0.4* I quit because of how hard it is ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-08-30, version 3.3.0.4* I thought this was an offline game, which it is, but I can’t even play it offline because it forces you to watch ad after ad. How greedy. Also, when I bought the no ads option, I got scammed because then to just showed a bunch of Sega ads that you couldn’t even skip. ### 1/5 — Ad Glitch *2024-08-25, version 3.3.0.4* The opponent is still able to serve while an ad is playing which makes it 0-30 before I’m even able to play. ### 1/5 — Crashhhhhh!!!! *2024-07-25, version 3.3.0.4* The game is always crashed when you finish a final match. Terrible!! ### 1/5 — Fix it *2024-04-05, version 3.1.3.1* Will not let me hit the ball ### 1/5 — Blast *2024-01-07, version 3.1.3.1* We strongly advise against using this app as it bombards users with endless advertisements, interrupting their activities and causing frustration. This intrusive and overwhelming advertising tactic is not only disruptive, but it also shows a lack of respect for the user's time and experience. Instead of using this app, we recommend exploring other options that respect the user's needs and preferences. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bravo *2025-04-30, version 3.4.1.0* What’s the joke bro #AH ### 5/5 — Good *2025-03-19, version 3.4.1.0* Very good ### 5/5 — Best tannis game ever *2024-10-21, version 3.3.2.0* If you pay for this this would be a good choice ### 5/5 — help *2024-07-27, version 3.3.0.4* i cant play online with my cousin im on apple hes on samsung it only shows bluetooth option for him but for me it shows 2 options ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-03-22, version 3.1.3.1* It is so chall ### 5/5 — Great game but *2023-12-17, version 3.1.3.1* This was the best tennis game when it came out about ten years ago. There have not been any change to the game. This is very disappointing. Even the player cheating is the same. My player move freezes up to allow the opponent player to win. Or the opponent player is able to get to the ball out of nowhere. ### 5/5 — The best tennis game for iOS and Android *2023-12-07, version 3.1.3.1* The best tennis game for iOS and Android Very very good ### 5/5 — still the best tennis game after years but… *2023-12-02, version 3.1.3.1* make buttons movable so playing in an ipad pro 12.9 is doable. other games are awful compared to this due to the intuitive player controls. best physics. better realistic visuals too. wish there was an xbox version. i play with the buttons on screen which showcases all the great dynamics of this game. ### 5/5 — Tennis *2023-02-04, version 3.1.0* I love this game because I play tennis ### 5/5 — It’s a very good game *2023-01-24, version 3.1.0* Love everything --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
