Place the balls on the table and Billiards Guide finds the paths that fit your level. ■ For you if · you can't see a way to score · you see the path but aren't sure about the cue tip or the hit · you want to practice shots in your head ■ Features ▷ Paths that fit your handicap The same layout calls for different paths at different skill levels. A physics simulation finds every path that scores, then orders them for your handicap. ▷ Cue tip, hit and stroke "1/2 ball, right side · lower 1.5 tips · smooth follow" — it tells you exactly where to strike the cue ball and how. The cue tip position is also shown as a picture. ▷ Watch the balls roll Play back any suggested path with one tap and see the balls travel off the cushions. Slow it down to follow along. ▷ Find my handicap Not sure of your handicap? Enter the points and innings from your last few games to get your average and handicap. The app remembers it. ▷ Share a layout "How would you play this?" — send the table and the suggested path as a picture and a link. Your friend taps the link to see the same layout and open it in the app. ▷ Zoom in, never get lost Pinch to zoom for precise ball placement. Diamond grid lines, edge numbers and a mini table show exactly where you are. ▷ 4-Ball and 3-Cushion Switching the game sets up the table and rules for you. ▷ Table sizes Medium, Large and Small tables. Each size rolls differently, and the paths account for it. ▷ Place from a photo (beta) Take a picture of the table and the balls are placed automatically. Drag to fix anything that's off. ▷ Learn the paths by name Bank shot, around the table, double rail, cross-table, draw and more — each suggestion tells you what kind of path it is and which cushions it uses. ▷ High contrast Clearer text and balls. Turns on with your device's contrast setting, or use the button in the app. ■ Please note · Suggestions come from a physics simulation. Real tables vary with cloth, humidity and cue condition, so adjust by feel at the table. · Photo placement is still improving. If a photo doesn't work well, drag the balls into place. ■ Contact AwesomeDev Inc. dev@awesomedev.dev

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Billiards Guide at none against BilliardsNote's 1. Billiards Guide also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). BilliardsNote's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
