The best, most realistic pool game PERIOD.
The only thing that beats this is real pool. If you are a pool player GET VIRTUAL POOL 4
Cue selection
On iPad Pro, I cannot figure out how to change from normal cue to break cue???
Pretty Good
I bought the full game last night
Last update was 8 years ago, last update for the iPhone was 2 weeks ago. That tells me that Celeris cares more about Virtual Pool 4 on the iPhone than the iPad.
You have three play modes. Quick Play, Pro Tour Career and Hustle Career. I like the Quit Play the best because you can turn on or off the aim line or tracking line or the ghost ball, I prefer not to have any of those on because it's more fun and more challenging, not so much with the other two. There's an option for the aim line so you can turn it on or off but the off feature doesn't work, so it stays on all the time I'm OK with that. The tracking line you can turn it on and off and that works fine but with the ghost ball there is two option to turn it off but that doesn't work so it's always on very annoying. As for the ball physics is not perfect particularly the Cue Ball it seems to travel further causing the Cue Ball to scratch more often than it should. As for the camera angles, you can set the camera angle for instance after the computer player shoots the a ball for a side view or end view at about a 25 to 30° angle that show the whole pool table but you can't do that for the human player so you have to zoom out with your fingers or use the top down view camera angle which I don't like.

The best pool game bar none
This is my favorite version of virtual pool. It has it all and is worth way more than $3.99. This is truly a simulation of real pool. It can improve your game and you will learn how read a table for your best chance to run out. Beginners and novices will learn how to aim the fundamentals of pool that can be translated to a real table. Nothing comes close to this. You have to actually know how to really shoot or he willing to learn. And that’s a very good thing. Unlimited pool for a few bucks. You can’t go wrong. Other games on the market are all flash and little skill involved. This is the real deal.

Virtual pool 4
Being a life-long player I have found this app to be ‘absolutely’the best possible app ,period ! It is so ‘life like’ and realistic. The table and balls are good sized .Side -spin works great . Whether playing by yourself A simulated player or tournament it is a real pleasure . Not to mention all the skills you can realistically practice - until you get to a physical table .thank you Virtual Pool 4.
I'd like to add it is a ‘fantastic game’ , (great ‘mental practice’ .) Don't think you are going to beat their pros every time though! They come up with unbelievable shots and suddenly , you can't get ‘shape ‘ or make a “3 “ inch straight in shot! Haha! Still a ‘super’ pool game !

Like the visual upgrade but bring back fast forward button
I turned on virtual pool tonight and I like the visual upgrade. Some thing I didn’t expect to see in the game this old.However I am disappointed that you remove the button that lets you skip ahead rather than wait for all the balls to bounce around. Ordinarily I don’t use it that much but when I’m playing CurlyOr someone else and the round is clearly leading to me being wiped out. I prefer not to sit through every single shot waiting for balls to settle into place. Waiting for balls to stop spinning..Sometimes I just rather get to the end of the game to see if I stand a chance at some point. If I’m going to have to wait through every shot on every game with every opponent I may find myself not playing.

VIRTUAL POOL 4
This game is a pool player’s dream . It is unbelievable what you are able to do with this app. I can’t say enough about how advanced this game (or learning tool ) could benefit your game . AWESOME !
Fun but snooker tricky on ipad
The iPad version seems not to allow aiming aids except in practise mode. That's ok for pool but makes snooker really difficult, to the point of being unplayable. But pool is great
Ridiculous
FIX YOUR GAME!!! Curly has now made 272 straight jump shots…not just hit the object ball, he’s pocketed 272 straight jump shots. The best 27 players ever have never pocketed 10 straight jump shots much less 272…FIX YOUR GAME!!!
Annoying Bug in the game
There’s a bug in the game that freezes gameplay after you are so far in to the tournament, this is very annoying and you have to start all over again from the beginning
Perfect
Physics are perfect
High Quality Game
Been playing this since before iOS and it still rates as high
Great App.... but...
Until recently it was really great. Now, if the cue ball is even close to the rail you can’t make a shot unless you lower the butt of the cue stick down to the point you can’t even see the table top. Used to love the game now it’s not enjoyable at all. I gave it a one because I had to to write a review. Fix the problem and it will be a 5 again.

Nice graphics, but...
I have never scratched the cue as much as I have in this game. Holy crap. I have nearly thrown my iPad across the room in frustration a few times. The cuestick acceleration is very exaggerated as well, but you will never break as hard as the computer, which routinely throws the cueball off the table and across the room. It’s a good game, it’d just be nice to adjust these things.

It’s pool
Love pool games since the Amiga/Atari ST and thought that virtual pool back on the N64 was the best pool game ever and still do. Got a few pool & snooker games on iPad and this it probably the best there is. It’s got enough variety of pool rules. Only thing stopping me giving it 5 stars is the lack of being able to play my own music while playing the game. It just won’t allow it unless I am missing something. It would be a cool feature to have a jukebox in whatever place you are playing in and to select your own tunes or playlists. Also a trick shot mode would be good in a future update where you get little challenges. As it stands it’s still the best simulation of pool on iOS. Just allow me to play my own music while playing it. That would make it perfect for me. With that I would give it 5 ⭐️

Almost perfect, some iOS tweaks would work
Good port of THE pool/billiards/snooker game for PC for a fraction of the price of the PC version; looks great on iPad. A full list of AI opponents to play against and different ways to play in tournaments and leagues. Instead of hitting a button to switch from cue stick pulling to cue stick English placement, maybe borrow from other pool apps and let us do this with two-finger or three-finger swipes.

The original pool game, best game physics
Ok the game can do with updated graphics, but the game physics are spot on. Enjoyable to play this on ipad as was on pc
Some bad logic
How can the same player miss too often, and then consistently make shots that no one can make. Too often put in a bad shot position while my opponent is not one game, and not in another.
Stop trying to manage the outcome. The shots should be based on skill / probability of success, and not manipulated success.

No sound, missing a ton of VP4 content
I get no sound an either of my iPads for this game. Also, this is missing a lot of Virtual Pool 4 is supposed to have. No saving match replays, none of the training videos, no turning off or on track lines mid-practice, no take shot at selected force option, no free mode/trick shot setup, etc. I could go on, but I think the point is clear. This is NOT the Virtual Pool 4 most of us have played on PC. The fact that this is a tablet version is no excuse, considering how old this game is and how weak PCs we’re back then compared to iPads today. This should be called “Virtual Pool 4 Lite”, NOT “Virtual Pool 4”.
