Some pool games animate a shot. PoolVision simulates one. Real cue-ball physics, a smart AI that plays real shots, and opponents online or on FaceTime, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. ■ PHYSICS YOU CAN FEEL Every break, cut and cushion rebound runs through a purpose-built physics engine. Ball-to-ball collisions, cushion angles, rolling friction and spin are simulated, not approximated. Dial in english with the spin control and the cue ball draws, follows and caroms the way a real one does. Aim lines show your line before you commit, and the ball goes where you aimed it, with no hidden assists and no scripted outcomes. A missed shot is a misread, never a mystery. ■ AN OPPONENT WORTH BEATING Four AI difficulties, from a forgiving Easy to a Very Hard tier that punishes every opening you leave. The AI plays genuine pool: it weighs angles and tests candidate shots before it strikes, kicks off a cushion to escape a snooker, and with ball in hand places the cue ball exactly where it wants it. It never cheats with perfect aim. ■ PLAY ONLINE OR WITH A FRIEND Find an opponent through Game Center and play for coins at the online tables. Or start a FaceTime call and challenge a friend over SharePlay. Sharing one device? Play both sides in Practice and pass it across. ■ TEN TABLES TO CONQUER Climb from the 50-coin Rookie League to the 15,000,000-coin Champion's Table. Every table makes you call your pocket on the black ball. From the Club League on you call every shot, and the top tables switch the aim lines off entirely. Each table shows its stake and its prize before you play. ■ PLAY ON YOUR OWN TERMS Practice and every match against the AI work fully offline: break, run a table or take on the computer anywhere, no connection needed. ■ MADE FOR APPLE PLATFORMS Built from scratch for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. Your coins and cues follow you between devices over iCloud: win on the Mac, spend on the iPhone. Feel every strike, collision and pot through iPhone haptics, and Reduce Motion is respected. ■ YOUR PROGRESS, YOURS ALONE No tracking, no sign-up and no third-party analytics. Your save lives on your device and in your own private iCloud storage, never on a server of ours. Rack them up.
