Pool for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great graphics and good to practice on butThe latest update makes cue controls wonderful it’s now a one hand game, the ai doesn’t like losing but I enjoy it despite The ai cheats, I have watched it take over my balls, it doesn’t recognize the first ball sink on break and it’s not into losing but I love the graphics and it is a good game for one hand play again good for practice, I just wish the que were more controllable (tap to aim etc).Version: 5.4
✓ Doesn’t download properlyDoesn’t work after the ball placement.Version: 5.5
✓ OverlapThis game is great for a few days then everything but the table gets big and the buttons overlap the table so when you depress shoot it rearranges the shot and fires. Tried emailing the creator but haven't heard back. It's been a week. Great game when it functions properly!.Version: 4.9
✓ PoolI like this pool game better than other ones because the controls are simple, even though the physics aren't quite like playing the game in real life. Sometimes the computer will cheat though, like think it is it's turn when u made a perfectly good shot sometimes. and if you knock the white ball in, it gets to put it in any where it wants, but if it does that, oh no, YOUR stuck in the kitchen. I also don't like that there's no difficulty setting so it's basically set on always easy. So I guess that it's cheating makes up for how bad it is. But I still prefer this version over most..Version: 5.5
✓ Fun but rigged and unbalancedYou get matched with guys way out of your league like if your level 4 you’ll be matched with a pro at level 260. And the wheel of fortune mini game that gives you a chance at winning coins never lands on anything past 150. Also the entry fees are way to costly considering it’s so hard to raid coins and finally as soon as you hit 1vs1 it puts you straight on a 100k table and if you accidentally hit it (like if your cat walks on your screen if you lay your phone down like I did) there’s no way of backing out. So fun if your not wanting to take the game seriously..Version: 5.5
✓ RiggedNot interested in a game that makes it almost impossible to lose. Just sink an opponent’s ball and you will easily win..Version: 5.6

✓ Great gameI love this game! I can even win! There is not even one complaint that I would have. . . . . . . . . CORRECTION! After writing above, I read another review and realized I have ALL the same problems, but I was having so much fun playing & winning that I just started overlooking all those problems, but they are still there: computer's balls go in when they shouldn't, computer gets to move the cue ball whenever and wherever it wants to, computer oftentimes hits my balls before they hit hers, computer starts playing again when my turn isn't up yet, and on and on. Normally, I would delete this game and be done with it, but I just love this game..Version: 5.1
✓ Good but could be betterA great simple game but this needs a serious update. An option is needed for people who want a decent challenge, as at the moment your playing against the computer that seems to be stuck on idiot mode all the time. If you want me to buy the game you need update the game..Version: 5.1
✓ Constant bugsFor the past few years a severe bug existed where on iOS, if you started a new session on the app whilst in a phone call, the entire GUI on the app would freak out and not work at all. This has finally been fixed after many years. The current bug now is that the ‘cue rotate’ button on the left does not function correctly, or the same as the one on the right. You can not tap the button and instead it will ONLY trigger once held for many seconds, meaning no precise rotations can be made. It works fine on the right side so I’m unsure why this hasn’t been fixed on the left..Version: 5.4
✓ Lack of Vision, Imagination!Simplistic game, no statistics or analytics. Not bad if you're eight or nine years old. Kenny.Version: 5.5
✓ Highly disappointedThis game is a disappointment. I downloaded the game about a year ago, hoping to play with friends. Now 8 out of 10 of my opponents have middle eastern names and make impossible shots, while I scratch impossibly constantly, and miss simple aligned shots. I have a hard time believing that no one from the rest of the world plays. I play pool, I know the mathematics. I thought this game would begin to resemble reality if I paid into it, so I bought some things. The bucks disappeared with no explanation or recourse. They took my money. I cannot even accumulate the bucks, but I can if I play as a guest! And further more you can tell when it’s a machine you are up against not a player when you see the other cue check every ball on the table before it chooses its shot..Version: 5.1
✓ FaultyGraphics are excellent. However, the computer cheats frequently, hitting opponent's ball without being penalised, and moving my ball when I’ve not committed a foul. Potting the black ball via a cannon on the opponent's ball is apparently not a foul - I do this frequently and always win. Bizarre. The claimed UK setup and rules bear no resemblance to the UK game. Could be brilliant if it was sorted out. Feb 2022 - computer still cheating. After successfully potting a red ball, computer then hit my yellow ball and sent it down to the far end of the table because it didn’t think it could pot another red. Fine, but where’s my opportunity to place the white ball where I want it. I’ve been telling you this for years - get it sorted out..Version: 5.5
✓ Needs moreThe mechanics of regular pool are well done and the simplicity of the graphics is a real plus! But I really wish this game had player vs computer arcade function where each progressive table arranges balls into different shapes and arrangements..Version: 5.5
✓ Suddenly stopped workingI've played this game for years, and then today it stopped working.Version: 5.1
✓ Ok but has significant problemsSay you sink a stripe on break, the icon does not show it under your number, until the computer sinks a ball. So if you missed it you don’t know what you have without counting what’s left. Here’s my favorite, I sunk the SOLID yellow on break, but it didn’t count, I missed my next shot, the computer sunk a SOLID, so now it shows the computer has solids and I have stripes, WHAT ABOUT THE BALL I SUNK ON BREAK. Overall if you don’t mind the computer is so biased ,it’s a fun game, just realize they get to cut closer, you get cheated sometimes on the break and a few other irritations and it’s ok..Version: 5.1
✓ App spazzesEverytime I open the app, it goes all spazzed and jitterish...Version: 5.1
✓ Needs difficulty settingsGood game but needs a harder game mode or difficulty. It’s way to easy !!.Version: 5.6
✓ PoolSomething is screwed up in playing against the computer. The computer takes two turns whether he sunk a ball or not. Then he sunk the 8 ball with 1 ball still on the table and won!.Version: 5.5
✓ Difficulty LevelCannot increase AI difficulty level. Cannot turn off ball trajectory guide lines. Otherwise great practice and fun 2 player mode.Version: 5.1
✓ One starWhy does every ball but the cue ball have so much friction. Try to make it more real and then I’ll play.Version: 5.5
✓ Lack of challengeWhen playing the computer regularly it will either select a impractical shot that indicates it’s not a challenge. For example a simple black near a pocket the computer will select the pocket behind where it’s playing from and just tap the ball. This would not happen..Version: 5.5
✓ What I would appreciate:While I like this version of Pool more than any others I have seen for the iPhone I would like to see a little bit more. 1. In 9 Ball, please make the 9 more of a stripe with black edges. It looks much like the 1. 2. I would very much having the score against the computer kept even though the computer seems to purposely miss. 3. I would like to place the Cue Ball and move it’s English without my finger having to cover those dots. 4. The “Fine Tuning” buttons need to work finer as they do not seem to move the aim well, and mostly not at all. But it is still good for passing the time and trying to adjust to ununiform cushion response. Thank you for what it is so far !! John in Las Vegas, NV.Version: 5.5
✓ It isn’t poolGame mechanics are terrible and I can’t believe the creator didn’t have the time to maybe study the physics and speed of realistic pool playing. The worst and funniest thing about it, is the fact that when you change the spin on the cue ball it can change the whole directory of where the hit ball goes. So strange..Version: 5.5
✓ OkBit boring after a while what happened to the version where you could play different levels ? Find the winner having to always break thereby setting up the table for an easy pot by challenger silly and aggravating after a while….Version: 5.5
✓ The weirdest app!I love playing this game but I’ve never used an app that cheats. I know that sounds dumb as hell but the computer will move the cue ball even though you didn’t scratch. On the computer’s turn it will take another turn even though it didn’t sink a ball. I’ve never seen anything like it!! I’ve only used the single player version against the computer but I never thought I’d see the day the app cheats! It’s hilarious but frustrating!! 🤪.Version: 5.1
✓ CheatsIt cheats. Play it and see the glitches. If you play against the computer, it gives the computer the advantage. It picks the solid or stripe it wants, even though the player breaks and gets one in the hole. And, when this happens, it doesn’t tell you if you’re solid or stripe (which makes it difficult if you forgot after a ball goes in). Often, the computer steals your play, after you make a shot of your solid/stripe - and the computer just takes your turn. Acts like the computer scratched when it didn’t. Cheats!!!!!!!.Version: 5.5
✓ Too insensitive to play on my iPhone 6sGood game in that it seems to do a very good job (accuracy) with geometry of shots and bank shots, as well as the adjustable power behind each shot. However, I do all of my game play on my phone, usually to pass the time while I’m waiting for something. Simply, the aligning of the shot cue is WAY TOO SENSITIVE, making it VERY frustrating to play this game. If the movements (adjustments) were to be slowed down by 1/2 or 3/4 then I think I’d REALLY like this game. I don’t know if playing on an iPad would be any better..Version: 5.1
✓ Not bad!I quite enjoy this game. Plus to date, it's never given me a problem. Some optional pool games would be a nice touch though. Update. They turned off the tilt to aim feature. Not pleased about that at all..Version: 5.4
✓ Ok but...This is a nice, simple, easy to play pool game. But there are quite a few issues. Some of the controls are much too close to the playing surface and if you have fat fingers getting unexpected behaviour will happen a lot. The main problem is that the game keeps seizing up. For example you’ll be on the black and it prompts for a nominated pocket. Fine you just pick on the pocket but every now and then you can stab away at the screen for minutes with no response. Overall easy to play but needs work..Version: 5.1
✓ Kind of plain and boring but no addsIt’s pretty plain, I don’t think you can play online matches against other people but there is not much adds, maybe none at all.Version: 5.5
✓ Great game - AlmostI’ve played hundreds of games with the first version of the game which disappeared from the App Store. This clone is the latest release of the game which is on the App Store. What’s the difference? Advertising for one. The statistics, which can’t be reset to zero on the first release, has been deleted on this version. So no tally or score of games won. Huh? I don’t mind advertising if I can pay to stop it but there seems no way within the game to do it. Granted it’s still fun to play. Other pool games have other problems such as no English or a very narrow range where it affects the object ball. In this game the controls are wonderful! I have a “wish” list that includes individually resettable scores for each skill level, a counter of scratches and forfeits by making the 8 ball in error. That’s a minimum for me hence I’m only giving it 4 stars, not bad at all, but I’ll hold my fifth star until there’s an upgrade with the mentioned features. I still play the early first version with the scoring and no advertising. They could have made it even better and instead made it worse. The silver lining is that it’s really FREE and fun. Some pool games are greedy thinking they’re almost an MMO, MMORPG by charging for tokens or chips for that infinite flow of cash. If you’re wealthy, have fun with my blessings on those ha ha ha!.Version: 5.5
✓ PoolI go into the game play a game win do it again.Version: 5.1
✓ BlahThat is all..Version: 5.1
✓ Maybe, maybe not.Cool game but a bit too easy and computer takes too much time to think between turns..Version: 2.0
✓ .Fun game but if you play against “computer” the game will cheat a bit. The computer pretty much makes all the shots even some that seem impossible. Also, the computer will move the cue ball before making a shot even tho it should not be allowed to move the cue ball. Only time you should be able to move the cue ball is if the opponent sinks the cue balls in one of the holes. Unfortunately the computer does not comply with that. ALSO, if I make a shot, why does the computer shoot after me?! Pool rules: if I make a shot I get to go again!.Version: 5.5
✓ Garbage and frustratingHow this app has more than 1 star is beyond me. It was on my phone 2 min before uninstalling. Shooting is too multi-stepped and not intuitive. There are better apps. This one is pure unthought-out trash.Version: 5.5
✓ Could be betterWould be good if we could purchase full app on the New Zealand store.Version: 5.1
✓ Good gameGood game. It if you could play online with other people that would be amazing if you add that I’m rating it a five 🌟 so when you 5ink of another update add online I also recommend difficulty settings on bots.Version: 5.1
✓ Freezes upGame freezes up after about the 4th game Not good enough.Version: 5.1
✓ Aiming broken since last updateWhatever you did to the aiming and power setting in the last update please change it back. Totally ruined the game with its random movements! Random cue re-positioning when trying to take a shot has left the game useless. Updates need to be tested before release!.Version: 5.3
✓ No explanation!There is no tutorial so way to hard to work out! What a joke!.Version: 5.5
✓ BasicBasically good game. Computer offers absolutely no challenge. Cue ball effects are ok but not satisfying..Version: 5.5
✓ Not good, but still fun.I hate to admit how much fun this game is, because it is trash. On the surface it’s a fun simple game of pool. But there are many problems. It crashes constantly, the rules of pool do not apply, the computer can make the most impossible shots on a regular basis. I scratch at least once every 3 shots regardless of where I aim the call or how much English I put on it. There are many ball in hand inconsistencies. All that being said, it is still a simple, fun pool sim, and much more enjoyable than some of the more complex pool apps..Version: 5.1
✓ Versus computerI normally enjoy playing this, but it gets quite annoying, frustrating, and irritating when playing the computer: I’ll drop one of my balls, and the computer takes the next shot! Go figure...NOT how I learned to play. When this happens i typically just quit the app When one player drops the cue ball, the other player spots the cue ball at or behind “the line” and (how I learned) your shot MUST be beyond that line. This is not how pool is played in this version. I am just about to delete this app, as much as I *normally* enjoy playing it, against the computer. All too often the computer takes the turn after I have sunk one of mine. Please address this CONTINUING ISSUE. Obviously nothing was done since my initial review. Does ANYONE read these, or perhaps more to the point, even care about these reviews??.Version: 5.5
✓ Ok...It was pretty average, in my point of view. The next update should have difficulty levels plus awards and extra challenges. Also, with a little touch of online battles, this game should be receiving 5 star reviews.Version: 2.0
✓ BaffledSo I tried to buy the paid version of this game and it’s not available in the Canadian App Store. What the fxxk!!.Version: 5.1
✓ Fun game even though the computer will “cheat”I love this game, but there are a few random problems. The major issue is that when playing against the computer it often takes over a turn even when I’ve made a successful shot. So I lose a shot. Also it will jump ahead as if it sank a ball, meaning that suddenly a ball will have been removed from the table and the computer begins its “turn” with fewer shots to make. And finally, the computer gets often gets a free ball placement as if I’d scratched, but I didn’t. Even though the computer often “cheats” it’s still fun, I just wish these glitches can be corrected..Version: 5.5
✓ Wish it workedDownloaded the game and deleted it within a few minutes. It offers you a second cue ball to shoot? It does not take note of which player is shooting and randomly lets either player shoot. Just a waste of time..Version: 5.6
✓ CheaterUnbelievable that the AI cheats in this game. Incredible and disappointing.Version: 5.5
✓ Computer cheatsThe computer takes shots it isn’t entitled to. In UK pool, if I pot a ball of mine, I can play on until I miss one but even when I pot one, the computer randomly interrupts me and takes a shot it isn’t entitled to. Also, The table is far too fast and the computer’s middle pocket pots can apparently go round corners! I’m glad it was free but I’ve deleted it..Version: 5.5
✓ Too little help!Am trying to learn the game. This is of no interest to players wanting to improve their game. I have found it unhelpful. So the mindset of the designers Need to understand this.Version: 5.5
✓ Poor accuracyI’ve played billiards competitively for almost 30 years and I found this app to be less than accurate. In some cases it defies the laws of physics. For example, without applying English to the ball, which this app does not allow, a ball can not exit a rail at a different angle than it entered, yet that occasionally occurs in this app. Also, without applying English to the ball, which this app does not allow, a ball does not increase speed after making contact with another ball, yet that occasionally occurs in this app..Version: 5.5
✓ Ick.I agree with Gimowoman. This was an excellent app that requires no “improvements” whatsoever. The latest update changed all that. It supposedly “fixed” freezing. The app was already working perfectly. Now, everything it “fixed” now causes problems, looks stupid, drains battery power. Stupid spinning things in all the pockets. Freezing cue shots. Game locking up. Big lag on taking the shot to the cue ball actually moving. I used to love this app. Played it all the time. Have a 5-star review. Now it’s a mess. 1 Star is generous. Please “update” back to what once was. Or at least allow those of us who preferred the game before this last update the option of returning to the previous version..Version: 5.3
✓ IdkDoes it need wifi.Version: 5.1
✓ Pool Vs SnookerPool is good I would like the option of Snooker as well..Version: 5.5
✓ Too Many Glitches!!!This app needs to load up on some B 12 because its thought process is definitely a little off honey. I’m sick and tired of this app playing out of turn, deliberately hitting my balls, playing the 8 ball when they still have balls on the table and not posting my high/low balls status when I drop a ball first. However, I’m not complaining about having the privilege to place the cue ball all over the table. KMSL. FIX THESE PROBLEMS PLEASE. And stop cheating!!!!!.Version: 5.1
