Want to get better but don't know what to practice? Facing a tough position and not sure how to play it? Made the point, but the balls scattered and there's no next shot? Caramba Billiards is a 3-cushion practice room in your phone. Pick what you want to get better at, and the app takes you to the right room. PRACTICE — train 3-cushion like a game Drag on the table to aim, pull the speed bar and release to shoot. The balls run on a physics simulation, kisses included. Score and keep shooting: points, runs, your best run. Stuck? Tap Hint and the aim, english and speed are set for you. SOLVE A POSITION — a tough position at the table Snap the table, screenshot a match, or set up the 3 balls yourself. The app shows ways to play it: which ball to hit first, thickness, english, speed, from easiest to hardest. Tap Auto shot to watch the sample shot run right on the table. LEARN POSITION PLAY — score and leave yourself the next shot 300+ position plays, each with its solution and the zone to leave the balls in. Filter by difficulty, thickness and rail order; mark what you're practicing and what you've done. Practice on your own from any position. LEARN DIAMOND SYSTEMS — systems for almost every position 20+ systems: System 50, 0-3-6, Ball-Pass, Tüzül, Kobayashi, Plus, SID… Every example comes with its diamond formula, Watch it run and Try it yourself. Plus lessons on systems, kiss avoidance and position play. NOTEBOOK — your own positions Redraw positions from your matches: ball paths, diamond numbers, notes. Save them to review anytime, and export book-quality images to share. CARAMBIRD — your companion at every session 100+ drills across 3 levels and 200+ answers on technique, systems, rules and equipment. Ask “What do I practice today?” and get a drill; when you're done, one tap keeps your practice streak going. Books and handouts can only be checked at the table. In Caramba, every shot runs on a simulated table: you see the balls roll before you play it for real. • No internet needed, no ads, no account — your data stays on your device • English, Tiếng Việt, Español, Türkçe, 한국어 The free version is enough to practice every day: Practice, Solve a position (one way to play each position), practice on your own from 300+ position plays, the core systems, the starter lessons, the Notebook and Carambird.

Take a photo of the billiard table, and Hello Billiard reads the ball positions and proposes scoring paths with success rates, computed by an on-device physics simulation. ■ Photo recognition One photo of the table is enough to locate the balls. Photos are processed on your device and never uploaded. ■ 4-ball path simulator Measured deflection angles, spin (english) and multi-cushion paths are computed by a physics engine. It recommends only the shots you can actually make at beginner / intermediate / advanced level, and shows success rate and ball-gathering score from Monte-Carlo simulation. ■ 3-cushion (carom) Five-and-a-half, Plus and Ball system calculators. Path search recognises classic routes such as the long-around and the reverse and recommends them first. ■ Versus mode Two players get different layouts of the same difficulty and see who climbs higher. · Difficulty ladder — 10 levels for 4-ball, 8 for 3-cushion · Handicap match, score race, layout of the day, weak-spot drills · Cumulative record (W-D-L) and best scores ■ And more · Works offline, no ads · Table calibration (cushion / roll) for your own hall · Korean / English
