Caramba Billiards closes the loop on everything a 3-cushion player does — a companion from the real table to your notebook, through the full life of a shot: • CAPTURE — Table Scan: stand at the short rail and take one photo (or grab a frame from a YouTube match); the app reads the cloth and places all three balls for you. Corners cut off or half the table showing? Still fine. • SOLVE — Solver lays out the routes for the position: touch the yellow, the red, or play the rail first — each marked Easy / Medium / Hard, with several strokes per route you can preview right on the table. • VERIFY — Simulation runs the real, physics-driven path and shows all three balls roll to a stop. • REFINE — english/spin compass, contact thickness and speed on every drawing. • RECORD — draw your systems in the finest detail: diamond numbering (Five-and-a-Half, Tüzül, System 50, Kobayashi and your own), color-coded labels, legends, formulas like 40 − 20 = 20 — all saved in a searchable notebook you browse shot by shot. • PUBLISH — export book-quality 4:5 diagrams straight to Photos, or share them with your group. Works fully offline. English, Vietnamese, Spanish, Turkish and Korean. Caramba Pro (one-time unlock, no subscription): the full curated systems library, unlimited Solver routes, the Appearance Lab, and watermark-free 2K export with your own name.
