SnookCam app contains Score part and Camera part. They can be used either separately or simultaneously. LIVE streaming is also available provided that SnookCam camera package is purchased. Score part is developed by a professional snooker referee and contains lots of automatic hints about rules at different situations. It has all the features needed in a snooker match. Score part gives also warnings in advance about situations where no miss will be called in case of a foul on the next shot. Information about score difference and remaining points and the balls required to win is easily hidden when they are not desired to be visible for players. LIVE streaming is available as well and so is a shootout mode. Camera part contains in addition to LIVE streaming also a ball replacement feature which helps Snooker referees and players return the balls back to the previous positions if so desired by using still shots of the live situation. The app is extremely easy to use also without a referee during matches and also when practicing and returning balls to the exactly same position as they were before. A SnookCam camera is required to make the camera part worthwhile. Check www.snookcam.com or contact hello@snookcam.com to purchase SnookCam compatible cameras and set your snooker experience to a whole new level! The score part contains also 6-Reds, 10-Reds, Shootout and English Billiards modes. The score part is free of charge until the end of the year 2027. After that the cost will be minimal anyhow.
