I’ve had this app since 2014 . Back then it seemed that most pool games were not similar to actual movements on the table .it had been quite a time since I used the app . I AM ECSTATIC ABOUT THE WAY THE GAME PLAYS NOW ! It is fantastic, the BEST ! Thank you on the improvements . *****
Worse online play EVER
I'm only glad that it cost just $2. I've been attempting for over a week to play with friends on my contact list through the online selection and no one could ever connect. I think I was able to successfully play twice out of two dozen attempts.
Moreover, if you do manage to connect with a friend to play and your phone rings? Game freezes. Have to reconnect and start a fresh game. If you go to a different screen, like say, if you're replying to a txt msg, another game freeze -restart a new game...etc.
Had I known this, I wouldn't even spent money to save myself the frustration. Developers must seriously FIX this asap!!

Program will not open
I love this game. I had it on my phone for quite some time, but it did not upgrade when I got os 11. So I figured what the heck, and bought it again. Now whenever I open it in career mode, it crashes. Fix this and I will give it 5 stars!!
I love this game
This is a great game, one that I play every day. Very realistic. Many options to choose from, so I'm able to pick exactly how I want to play. Highly recommended. And the developer is quickly responsive to any issues that arise. If you like pool, you'll love this game.
Major complaint after this update
I own an iPhone SE and this last update has cut over a quarter of an inch of playing space on the screen on both sides of the screen.
Need a fix ASAP.
Also another complaint. In the last two three updates I noticed the cue ball has a problem rolling after striking a ball way beyond the normal expectation. Its the main cause of scratches and unintended ball placement after a shot. Fix this please.

Still being updated, wow!
I've had this app since way back in 2009 when I bought it on my 2nd generation iPod Touch and I'm very happy to see it was updated to support my iPhone 6's resolution now as well 5 years later. Probably one of my favorite games too so it's great to see that it's still supported. The only suggestions I have are maybe doing a new separate HD version using the new Metal API with swanky graphics and better sound but it's still great the way it is for a simple yet highly addictive game of billiards.

Curley
Play Curley in 6 ball quick play. Extremely difficult to beat this cat. Been playing for years and am a skilled player. It is near impossible to beat Curley. He rarely misses, but when he does you are japped. No shot. He usually runs the table, sinks the 6 ball routinely on the break, sinks multiple balls on the break, and never scratches. He's got the best touch of the que that nobody could possibly match. You get him down a game or two out of three, and you will see Curley make the most amazing shots. Incredible! You break and you are luck if you sink one ball. Shots you take that you think would never scratch the que ball on seem to scratch at an alarming rate. This is a good game but needs some refinement for touch of the que and sight lines down the table. Why do we players never break first?

Close...but not perfect
Went through the whole competition in career mode. No frozen screens and no restarts. Updating alone might not get you out of the frozen overhead screen from the previous update (v2.5). At least it didn't for me. I had to delete the app and do a complete re-install to get it to work. You have to start from the beginning, but hey, the game works and playing it is fun.
UPDATE: Game finally crashed. Got the overhead frozen screen. I notice it tends to happen when you leave the app in mid-game. So, sink the final ball or finish the match before exiting the game. It shouldn't be the case, but, oh well. At least it lasted longer than v2.5. Until the next revision, time to start over.

Don't buy what was such a great game. Awful update. Shame on the developer/tester
I'm unable to normally progress levels--the game doesn't record victories and simply repeats each match some number of times; a number that's apparently increasing as I move from venue to venue. I've beaten Jessie the Bod 4 (update: 5 and continuing to increase) times now--a match that requires a 9-game victory and takes a whole lot of time and effort especially with the A.I. at its best.
This was the best pool game by a sheer mile. It broke over a year ago with numerous glitches such as no sound. There were lengthy, unacceptable delays in getting that fixed. Now the update is out--sound is fixed; awesome--but at one heck of a steep price. The bugs are rampant but, worse, they're obvious (and already documented by other reviewers)--shame on you devs/testers. 1 star by virtue of customer service, update quality, tardiness and what seems to be a general disregard for engineering. Consider me disappointed and looking elsewhere.

The update ruins what was a great game
This has been my favorite app for the iPhone, was a great game as it was, and I made the mistake of doing the latest update. It's terrible and I hope they switch it back. The two biggest issues are that when you are against the rail it wont let you get a lower look down the cue to line it up well. And because of this if your using the shot gauge you can't even see the ball if it's down the other side of the table. I understand the concept of it but I'm afraid it wasn't thought out very well.
What was a great game has been heavily comprised. I need to find a way to roll it back to previous version.

The most recent update(s) is killing it
I got this app sometime back in the fall and really enjoyed it. I played all the way through on the easier level so I turned it up to "good luck." Though more difficult (I lost a round or two) I managed to work my way up to Slow Roll and then put the game away for a while. (Prior to these updates.)
Well, I picked it back up today, mid round, and couldn't believe it. Right off the bat , the computer ran the table on a break. When I got to break, I made a few good shots, but eventually missed one and-- yep, it ran the table again. And again and again. I'm not really sure what the point is anymore.
Hopefully they'll dial it back down a little. (Otherwise, I'd be giving this 4 stars.)

Great Fun and Challenging
Update: The developers have continued to tweak this game and make it better. The addition of being able to play in realtime with opponents around the world just made it even more fun. The only thing I have a wish for is a way to track your progress as you unlock rooms. Just a simple check mark on each opponents sheet so you can remember if you beat that one or not. That would be great!
This game is awesome. Some of the ones that write bad reviews just need to learn how to play it. The english you put on the cue ball makes it react perfectly. Even though I know a lot about playing, I found starting in the easy 9 ball mode first to be helpful. The aim line is there as a guide only and you have to adjust it manually to get the most accurate shot which is just fine. In a little over a week playing in my spare time, I have made it to the 4th room and have made over $13,000. (I wish that were real, LOL)
The updates will keep improving I'm sure.
Great job on bringing this to the iphone guys. I love it.

Excellent game, but where's the Retina Display support?
The physics and overall game play of this version are outstanding, and at $1.99, it's a no-brainer. The sound effects are still a little weak, but it's not about the sound. I'm glad they increased the skill level in this version so the top two players are a little better. I have been beating Curly in most of my games, and I haven't lost a match to him yet. After this update, he's definitely a bigger challenge.
My biggest complaint is the lack of support for the Retina Display. Technically, how hard can it be to double the rendering resolution in an OpenGL game? The edges of the balls are pretty jaggy, as you can see from the screen shots above. An update with Retina Display support would make this game just about perfect, but even without that, it deserves 5 stars, especially for only $1.99.

Pool pro online 3..?
I wrestled with the decision as to which pool game to buy and for the most part I am happy with my decision. However there are a few issues I have with this game that I believe could be fixed with a fairly easy update..
1) the menu system is almost terrible.. It functions but has issues of being non responsive and plain boring
2) the aim aid is frustrating.. I always like to play with it on, but do I have to turn it on every single time I start up the game or turn it on again every single time I call my 8 ball shot? I know its just one little button push but why do i even have to deal with that? The fact that this is an issue is just plain laziness on the developers part.
The actual gameplay is the best of any pool game and I appreciate the pace of the game without all the silly frills other games have but this title desperately needs a facelift if it is going to compete with the new girl next door pool pro online 3.

Why bother with anything else?
This is an excellent pool game, just like it was when it was first released for the computer. It is also much better than the other pool apps at the store, especially if you're looking for realism. This is also my favorite game out of all of them that I have downloaded, and I have downloaded many of the top ranking games and apps in the store.
The reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is for one bug. If a player wins the last game of the match from a foul out (like in rotation), then the match starts over, and you lose any advantage in the match. For example, if you were given 3 games at the beginning, it will start over and it will be even at zero. It's a little annoying losing the money on the match if you already won it off of a foul. Fix this, and it will be perfect, and I will adjust my rating.
