Let's Pool
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pool the way it should be: you win by playing better. Every ball rolls, slides and spins according to real physics. The cloth slows it down, the cushion gives back, and side spin does what side spin does. The computer plays with exactly what you have: an angle and a power, nothing else. WHAT YOU CAN PLAY - Career: eighteen nights from Rookie to Legend. Each level sets its own table, opponent and house rules, and the aim assistance fades away step by step. - Quick match against the computer, on Easy, Regular or Pro. - Against someone else: on one screen, with two devices in the same room, or through Game Center against anyone -- with a thirty-second shot clock. - Trick Shot Club: ten challenges with stars, from cuts to banks and kicks. - Academy: six lessons in what a ball actually does. - Practice: the table is yours until the black goes down. THE RULES ARE YOURS Eight house rules to agree on: who breaks, when the groups are decided, whether you call your pocket, where the black may go, what a potted cue ball costs, and whether something has to reach a cushion after contact. You can look them up mid-game with one button, because an agreement nobody remembers is not an agreement. WHAT IS FOR SALE Looks. Twenty-one cues, twelve cloths, eight rails. None of them touch the physics: no cue strikes harder, no cloth rolls faster, no rail changes a cushion. Buy everything and you play exactly the same game as someone who buys nothing. Most of it is earned on the ladder; the rest is a one-time purchase. WHAT IS NOT IN IT No ads. No energy or waiting timers. No coins, no crates, no subscription. No account and no server: your career, your settings and your purchases stay on this device. When you play someone, only your shots go to their device. The controls are in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian. The lessons and challenges are in English.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Astra Pool at none against Let's Pool's 7. Astra Pool also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
