PBA® Bowling Challenge for Negative User Reviews
✓ Was a fun game; now runs choppyI’ve played this game for years on a variety of devices from an Alcatel Raven to a Samsung Galaxy S8 to an iPhone 2007, iPhone 2020 SE, Google Pixel 5 and iPhone 15. On the iPhone SE & 15, the game’s performance is horrible. The frame rate gets extremely choppy as the ball travels down the lane. The pinnacle of choppiness occurs as the ball strikes the pins. It would be tolerable if it just impacted the appearance, but the choppiness impacts the ability to play well, score points, & win tournaments. The ads have also increased a LOT, and that says a lot considering this game has always been heavily ad supported. Devs please look at reviews; most recent ones mirror my complaints. With all that extra ad revenue, game performance should be better. An iPhone 15 should not be having difficulty playing a regularly updated game from the App Store..Version: 3.8.55
✓ PinsReason I am giving this game a 3 rating is solely on the fact that it hard to earn pins unless you buy them. The free pins are the only way to get better bowling balls with purchasing them. The game offered a free way to earn these pins by doing surveys or doing other offers to earn these pins. I took 20 minutes of my time do the survey only to not receive the pins. I contacted the support for the game only to be told that it would take a few days corresponding by email. They also told me to go to the progress tab to make sure that the survey I had taking wasn’t still in progress. I went anyways knowing that I had completed the survey because at the end of the survey it said complete. It’s been over a week now and I haven’t received any pins for taking the survey. I believe that all of that was just for nothing..Version: 3.7.0
✓ Good gameGames good I love it, ads are annoying but other than that games fun 👍🏻.Version: 3.8.13
✓ READ ALL THE CRITICAL REVIEWS…🤬Player disadvantage when it comes to any of the tournaments(weekend tournament at times, but the zodiac, surprise challenge, winter surprise, or any of the special tournaments. I always love the same developers response to me by saying, sometimes you have to bowl a 300. Yeah I do, but when it’s early in these tournaments, and the bot is bowling a 109, while throwing them in the gutter. But when you get to the last one, two or three games left on say the weekends 16 games. Your ball is a glitch waiting to happen, as the bot rolls a perfect game, or gets a 289 or 299. Or how about my last glitch to the second to the last game of this weekend’s challenge, I’m up by 10 in the 9th with a strike in the 9th, in the 10th, I get a strike, and than the spare. The bot has a spare in the 9th, but gets two strikes, and change. But I lose by 20?? Thats a 30 point verse??? How does that happen??? Do all the glitching you want. This game is free, and I don’t pay a cent for anything. The ads are easy to avoid, without playing them. That’s how developers make that extra little money, by glitches. So sorry to hear your response bullsh…!!.Version: 3.8.50
✓ Great till it crashesWorked up to level 160 and it refused to reconnect to iCloud. The support staff were great and gave advice but it didn’t work and I have to start all over and now it keeps telling me it’s not connecting to iCloud even though it remembers my last level. Frustrating..Version: 3.8.3
✓ BowlingNot a bad game at all for free . Graphics are pretty good also sound effects spot on ..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Rip offWell thought it would be good too get but if you have to pay to play you know what to do will remove it now shame because I play the real thing got very good at it didn’t have to pay more just got lower handicap.Version: 3.5.6
✓ Commissioner’s cup riggedThe developers can say that games aren’t rigged all they want but the commissioner’s cup is definitely rigged. Not only do the lanes become impossible to strike on regardless of where you throw it but the bowlers always seem to bowl a 300 throwing exactly the same way as you do. I have lost to Ryan Ciminelli 12 straight times now where I have bowled a 270 average but he has bowled a 300 in all 12 games. I’m sorry but no pro bowler could ever throw 12 perfect games in a row. This game needs to be more realistic when it comes to the challenges where every loss the computer bowls a 300. It makes the game less enjoyable as well as making me not even want to try challenges because of the unrealistic expectations of having to bowl a perfect game just to tie the computer. Also, Jason Belmonte isn’t in this game and he’s the best bowler there is. Why isn’t he in this game? Why have EJ Tackett but not Jason Belmonte? It is quite the oversight on the developers to not add the bowler who has won more major titles than any bowler on the planet..Version: 3.8.53
✓ Zéro g bonus mapThis map is not fun at all even with a good shot 1 or 2 pin stay up.Version: 3.8.14
✓ Higher pin rewards don’t show up. UpdateNow I’m missing my cookie jam and cookie blast rewards. Back down to 3 stars. It instantly gives small rewards. I just got 10pts idk why I still have not gotten my rewards for the cookie games. I like this bowling game quite a bit but since the rewards don’t show up the rating drops greatly. Spider solitaire and castle crush and tiki solitaire are all games loaded and played and never received pins. Received my missing points one day after posting this review so I increased the star to 4. If I could it would probably be 4.5. The game gets hard pretty fast. Expect to get stuck about 200 unless you are really consistent. You must learn to use the tilt curve feature if you are not consistent. I am a new player and it looks like I will need to upgrade balls to become a pro. There are tons of different balls with different powers and plenty of alleys you can purchase. I have not played league but the a multiplayer feature should be fun. I loved wii bowling and this is a decent replacement although if I could stand and bowl like wii it would be amazing...but that would be a different game I guess..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Need some fixingProgram keep slowing down as you keep playing for a while. It will slow down to a point where the graphic is freeze. Please fix..Version: 3.8.14
✓ CrashingReally enjoying the game but then it crashed and will not load up again please fix.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Empty potentialI gotta say this is one of my favorite games to play. You ask, then why the 2 stars? Well that’s just means that the service and losing purchases and money. Giving out free information when u hate to do it because of all the calls from companies I’ll receive but then only 10% of the time honoring their debt to our survey taking and other “free ways” to earn pins. Which as most of u know all these games have that high form of currency so if you ask me the two stars were a gift because of how disrespectful and dishonorable their word is they shouldn’t have even been around after that but I truly enjoy playing the game and if u want me to pay or jump hoops for ur product that is officially the biggest waste of time and money then PBA BOWLING YOU NEED TO HONOR UR GOOD NAME AND PAY ME THE PINS THAT IM FIGHTING AO HARD FOR. But let this be a promise!..... if I don’t see my large amount of pins on my counter under my account in the next 24 hours I will, in a timely fashion delete and spread the social media word through all the social networks about you guys and well.... u get it by now don’t you? Lol 😒😡🤬🤬🤬.Version: 3.8.32
✓ Fun but frustratingThe app can be fun and addictive. I have been playing for years and up to level 194 with >2,700 points although I bought 500 once early on. It takes a while to master the different balls and lanes especially badger. One thing I don’t understand are the ads. There was a time - many times - when the ads were relentless - so many of us would gladly pay $2.99 I think for an add free version but the developer or PBA is greedy. Then the ads would stop completely. I must have gone four months or more with no ads. Now they are back after EVERY GAME and you lose momentum and it’s not fun to play. I have stopped now and may come back. I refuse to download any advertised apps based on principle and yes there are some casino apps that force a shutdown. Make life easy on yourself and offer a paid no add version..Version: 3.8.40
✓ PBA bowlingGreat game to play would be near additive except for the email spam started playing PBA within a minute my device started email bing bing went to inbox it was just filling up with junk emails spam after spam stop playing junk stopped flagged marked them junk clutter plus unsubscribed to many more I did that the more junk came after deleting the game spamming stopped.Version: 3.0.5
✓ Good… for a while… then ….badI used to really enjoy playing this game. I was able to bowl in the high 250s, even up to 270 and 280. I was really enjoy participating in the PBA tournaments. But then it seems like the further along you advance, The bowling balls seem to lose their effectiveness. I went ahead and purchased several types of bowling balls and lanes, practicing daily in the hopes I would improve. But it seems like with this game, it will only let you improve about so much and then you just let you lose more and more. Even if I throw the ball perfectly and hit the pocket, there are a lot of splits. Sometimes the background noise is really annoying. For instance the sound effects with lanes like bowl-o-Rama have someone constantly YELLING words that sound like “ab it oo ee” and “yippee” during a looped 10 second Span that repeats over and over during gameplay. I wish there was a way to turn that off. I spent a lot of money on this game and see now it is just another pay to win scam, where they expect you to buy newer and supposedly better bowling balls and equipment in order to make you think you’ll do better in tournaments. I was dumb enough to fall for it. It was fun while it lasted but I guess all good things must come to an end. Developers don’t bother responding because nothing you say or do is going to make me come back..Version: 3.8.40
✓ Lost my progressI lost all my progress yesterday. I was on the PBA tour, my daily spins still show a 40 day streak, but I lost all my tickets and golden pins and progress. I’m back at the introduction phase of the game. I want my stuff back..Version: 3.8.40
✓ Good game but…The length of the ads are ridiculously long. Too long..Version: 3.8.51
✓ FrustratingMost games are easy to complete, but as I have nearly completed everything there are at least half a dozen challenges that are just to difficult. This is the second time that I have deleted the app off my iPad. Not worth the bother in my opinion. Won’t be coming back..Version: 3.5.6
✓ Did really like itHad to reset iPad, reinstalled game, I was on level 40 something, bought loads of things, on reinstall back to level 1....emailed Concrete 3 times to see if they could put me back to the level I was on....NO REPLY to any emails :(.Version: 2.4.0
✓ GlitchyDownloaded this game and thought it was great from the start, how wrong I was! Only got as early into the game as the Pro-Am and it’s so glitchy it’s unplayable….such a shame.Version: 3.8.53
✓ Great game, but not a single way to get free golden pinsI really like this game. It is realistic and isn’t laggy for me. I will say that the game was better a year ago. All the devs care about now is money. If you try to watch videos for free pins, it says there are no ads available but 10 seconds later shows you an ad that doesn’t give you anything. A year ago the free pins offers like taking a survey worked but now after you spend 15 mins completing a survey for 100 pins, once you finish it or enter your info it never gives you your pins. I would only play this game if you have had it before because if you get it without having played it before everything will be too expensive for the game to be enjoyable. At least if you have had it for a while you might have bought some things a year ago when they were cheaper than they are now..Version: 3.8.9
✓ Not very good for apple usersThe reason I downloaded this game was because there r no other games which have a multiplayer mode on them. This said CLEARLY about a multiplayer mode and when I tapped on it it said I needed to go to my control centre but my friend was trying at the same time and because she has a google phone hers came up with "you need to download google play games app”. I thought “that’s rubbish when it said on the description it was compatible with my device”. I don’t know WHY you didn’t even mention about downloading ANOTHER app to work a mode on THIS app. If you put it in the description then people will be more aware of the fact they need to sacrifice some apps for this one, I did that and I wish I didn’t even download this app in the first place. PLEASE PLEASE improve this app and make it a game which apple users can use as well. And also improve the advertisement notice as people do t really care about them, they care about the play of the game, also the layout was.......just a bit to much and pop ups on every side of the screen. Thx for reading, APPLE USERS DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNTIL THEY UPDATE THIS APP..Version: 3.8.20
✓ PBA Bowling Ripoff!You need to earn “gold pins” to play this game and enter tournaments. You can take surveys or sign up for offers to get your “reward”, aka the Gold Pins. That or buy the pins for a ridiculous price through the App Store. But here’s the thing...once you complete the surveys or offers, they still don’t give you the pins you’ve earned! Total ripoff and waste of time! I contacted the developers several times showing that I had completed the surveys/offers, but they still did not reward me the pins I had earned! And when I went to pay for them in the App Store (after giving up on getting my reward that they refused to give to me, even though I had clearly earned it), they gave me way less than I had paid for...this app is a joke and these guys are thieves! Don’t waste your time on this app, you will only end up frustrated like me...consider yourself warned!.Version: 3.8.19
✓ Good game with a couple of big issuesFirst off, I’ve been playing this game since 2012 so I really enjoy it. However, there’s a couple of issues I’ve been experiencing. The energy recharges way too slow; I get this is just how it’s designed so there’s not much to do about this but it’s kinda annoying. The main issue I have is with the Tapjoy rewards. There’s been multiple times where I’ve completed an action and didn’t receive any gold pins (and there’s been times where I have received the rewards; very inconsistent). It’s kinda frustrating, especially for the larger rewards to not get anything. If we’re talking specific examples, I completed the Futurescapes quiz and the Survey Junkie thingy and didn’t receive any pins..Version: 3.8.52
✓ Not a fan of AdsAnother game unfortunately marred by excessive ads. This game is initially an outstanding offering and is impressive and engaging in gameplay. However good the actually game is though ..... the constant and annoying Ads aren’t. 1 star minus for ads and 1 star for all the numerous glitches..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Bugs!Bugs! Bugs!Sort out these bugs because I will be off out of it very soon!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ Continually robbed of winningsTop notch game to bad the “you missed a day” says I did not play yesterday! The program that tells you I did not play? Does not work. It lies. It’s wrong. I am sick of complaining to be told “ our records show you missed this and that day so we took your winnings” Maybe, since it does not work, just maybe you could fix whatever it is that obviously gives you false information. Why have such a great game if you keep someone from being able to advance . I can never buy the balls for new events because you keep me at the lowest winnings due to the fact I REFUSE to give any more winnings to keep my place. As soon as I get up be able to win 2000 or 3000 tickets on the wheel….here it comes. “ oh…..you missed a day. “ Back to 100 tickets again. It’s just wrong. Fix it or maybe quit using it maybe….I would give 5 stars every month if you could fix this flaw..Version: 3.8.50
✓ How can you play a game that is always frozenGame freezes every time it opens, you de-power the device but when you try to open it again it freezes, they need to sort the bugs out if they expect to be taken seriously..Version: 3.3.9
✓ Will be deletedWhy did you stuff up such a good game????Don't bother playing this!! To get any decent gameplay one has to complete surveys etc. to get gold pins to continue the game or continuously purchase gold pins. Why don't you just charge for the game and be done with it ffs!!!!!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Ripoff gold pin promotionsBeware! Do not trust the gold pin promotions. Anytime you enter any promotion that is more than 1 pin for simply watching a video, do not trust them to give you the promised pins. This has happened to me several times. Most recently I uploaded WTP Poker, got to level 5 - and was never given the 214 gold pins I earned. That is just a major ripoff. They owe me at least 500 gold pins and wasted a lot of my time. You could always contact Customer Support to complain... but there isn’t any! And ads asking you to go to the gold pin promotion page pop up in the middle of your ball going down the lanes. And why is a vertical bowling game designed to play horizontally on your screen? Multiplayer lags and never works. Overall a much more frustrating than fun experience..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Great game but way too much adGame is fun but the constant ad is awful.Version: 3.8.52
✓ PBA Bowling ReviewI cannot win the PBA Anniversary round on PBA Bowling it is so hard try and do another update on PBA Bowling soon Thanks Kind regards Robert Sutton.Version: 3.3.9
✓ Love/hate relationship with gameBeen playing everyday for last six months. You need to to keep your spin streak alive or else need to pony up points to revive it. No biggie there. But a big issue I see is as move up in levels, the cost of playing a game grows too. So if you have 400 energy points showing it costs 250 points to play. If you have 1000 points if cost 800 points to play. So you never can play two games in a row without using pins to buy more energy. And I would never ever use real money to buy energy points . There is also times when the game slow and unresponsive. Not sure if it's my iPad, but many times the game will freeze up during a roll and before you know it the ball rolls not how you threw it. I have had many perfect games ruined by this lockup. You get into a rhythm on how you throw the ball and these annoying delay breaks that. On the plus side when the game is working as it should it's fun to play. Many, almost too many ball choices(of course very pricey to get the better balls). But controls are nice. Oil patterns do affect ball play as you move through the tourneys. Some special events require you be at a crazy high level to even be able to launch. I've been playing every day for six months and at level 33. Some balls and events require you to be at levels 75 ad above. Of course you can play real moneyto progress faster, but you know what they say about a fool and his money..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Ads and CrashesWhile I know the ads help the developers make money in order to run the game, the over abundance of ads is ridiculous. After every games it’s an ad that at least makes you sit there for 30 seconds and then you have to click on the ads multiple times for the close button to pop up. And then the game will crash after I try to do anything that isn’t play the game. I start looking at stuff and maybe willingly watch some ads or do some stuff to earn the gold pins and then the game sits on the concrete loading screen and won’t go any further until I delete and reinstall. I’ve played this game since it came out. Not religiously, but I’ve had it since it came out because I played the very first PBA challenge game. It’s a great game, but the low rating is due to the hassle I’m having to go through to play the game..Version: 3.8.36
✓ So sick of these wusses on multiplayerThe better you get at this game the less people will play you on multiplayer cause they want to have a higher win to lose ratio it’s ridiculous that this game gives an option to not bowl people after you match when it literally takes 2 minutes sometimes to find a multiplayer match these wusses (watching my language so this actually gets posted you know what I mean) need to leave this game idc how good you are if you’re afraid to play me on your phone you wouldn’t last one real life bowling tournament all you are is a bunch of fat greasy nerd wusses sitting on your phone keeping people that actually bowl at a competitive level in real life too from playing this game without it taking 5-10 minutes to find someone that’ll actually play.Version: 3.8.40
✓ Waaaaaaay too many adsThe constant ads after every match absolutely ruin this game which is unfortunate because the game play is actually decent..Version: 3.8.9
✓ PBA BowlingWhere is your games sound? There hasn’t been any sound for months now This game just took ovev10,000 tickets away Why is this game constantly taking tickets away?Why did your game just take 3000 tickets away from me twice? Your prize wheel has frozen You need bug fixes bad! You have a lot of nerve taking the 3000 tickets away from me! Stop penalizing us for missing days! Stkp taking my experience away too! All of this video games videos are crashing! This game just took over half of my experience again Please stop taking my experience away! It is bad enough that you make it hard to use by not letting us into this app right away! I was just about to level up to 308 and the level meter went backwards to almost 306 Will you please let us in by taking your ads out of the opening of the game? These ads wil not let us in My game just took away a lot of experience just now! From Michelle This game never lets us in We keep getting ads that won’t let us into the game.Version: 3.5.5
✓ Not happySince this updated all I see is half an advert for some bowling ball, and then a black screen. Why does it seem every update ruins a perfectly good app? 1 star for the developers. Worst thing for me is only a minute before I updated I purchased more golden pins..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Fun but glitchyI really liked this game a lot at first. I had a different bowling app that was ok, but this one was way better in comparison. And then the glitches started. A few times now I’ve been in the second game of a qualifier round, but needed to wait for more energy to move on. Exit the app to wait and when I come back, I have to start all over again. I’ve also won the championship east final 5 times now and instead of giving me my trophy and keeping my star, it keeps resetting me back to having to do the qualifier all over again. It’s a good thing I wait to play a game for a while before I consider spending money because I will not spend a dime on anything that consistently glitches and “forgets” my progress. *Edit- I did email the developer and just got a generic “we’re working on it” response though judging off the reviews on here this has been an issue for quite a long time..Version: 3.5.6
✓ PBA bowling should have 5stars but when you lie with dogs(tap joy/con) u get fleesNever use tap joy (con joy) to get gold pins within this game. They don’t honor there offers not to mention u need to have passed the bar to understand all the ways they have written into the stipulations just to avoid paying you what you are due. Frauds!!!!!! Concrete Software you can’t hide behind your generic response to the hundreds of complaints about the same thing and expect to give your users the ultimate experience which will lead to more time played and more in app purchases. Instead I do nothing. By the way tap joy is well versed I wasting people’s time, not only in the obtaining of gold pins but in talking in circles with no results wasting more of your faithful users time. Claim some responsibility and please don’t respond to talk to tap joy as we have already established their time wasting cons.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Warning!This app is designed to sign you up to lots of 'offers' many of which are gambling sites. The gameplay is average but to play properly you really need to upgrade you ball, you do this by using 'gold pins'. You acquire gold pins by either purchasing them or signing up to betting sites (which the app designers obviously receive a commission for). For enough gold pins to upgrade to a reasonable ball will cost you approximately £65 and increasing in price. If you decide to sign up to the gambling site (you must spend money on there) they WILL NOT give you the gold pins promised although they still receive the commission as an affiliate of the site and ignore all requests for support. Also the game is FULL of advertising, again for gambling sites. I STRONGLY advise you to stay clear of this game at all costs. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ The game is fun but…The only real issue I have with this game is that your forced to watch a video after every round. I can understand watching videos for things like getting extra bonus spins and for currencies within the app, but after every game while getting nothing in return. Obviously they don’t value our time at all. Every time a video pops up that I didn’t choose to start (for both my and the developers benefit) it feels like I am being insulted and spit on. What I’m asking for is reasons to click on ads. Not being forced to set through them without receiving any benefit for my time. Playing one game is not enough to warrant wasting my time for your revenue..Version: 3.8.53
✓ PBA ten pin bowlingGreat game, really enjoy it. But sometimes I get the feeling the computer takes over your game when you look like winning. But having said that, graphics are great, very realistic and an excellent fun game with a lot of variety and chances to win prizes to help boost your $$ and gold pins.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Do you like ads, this is the game for youGreedy selfish developers, force feeding annoying ads, after every game, some go for minutes, and to make matters worse, every game they force they’re subscriptions down your throat. End it, you selfish developers.Version: 3.8.51
✓ Look for another bowling app!I’ve played this game before. Recently come back to it, and most things have changed. They have made it harder to obtain “ gold pins” and made it it harder to obtain tickets. Your changes are stupid. The fun of playing this game has become non- existent, therefore what’s the point of playing this game.... there simply isn’t much fun ( if any) anymore..Version: 3.8.26
✓ Not user friendlySpeed cannot be increased.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Warning: Don’t be fooledThe bowling is fine but there’s a HUGE problem with this app. An ad for some totally unrelated game will take over your screen, and Give you NO option to get back to bowling. You can’t wait it out, you can’t leave and come back, the unrelated game ad just stays there, taking over from the bowling game completely, with your only option to “GET” it. And even if you do GET the unrelated game, it STILL won’t return you to bowling. I even uninstalled PBA Bowling, then downloaded it again, and the same unrelated ad came back! I got about 5 or 6 fun bowling lines out of this before I realized the app was going to keep on actively preventing me from playing, and deleted it for good. I guarantee all those good reviews came in BEFORE they put this in the app because, yes, the actual bowling is fun, but in its present state, you won’t be bowling for long before some match 3 or spaceship game that you don’t want takes over your device. Someone needs to tell the PBA about this—they would be appalled that the license they granted to this developer is being used to swindle and abuse its customers..Version: 3.8.32
✓ AnnoyingGreat game, but every time I go to play I have to do events that I’ve previously done. Very frustrating..Version: 3.5.6
✓ Career not savingGot up to unlocking the PBA tour, (alot of time spent) come back the next day and my progress has not saved? Money and pins are still there,?.Version: 3.5.2
✓ Game does not save progressThere is a bug in this game. It does not save your progress. I have spent significant amount of energy to complete 4 competitions and guess what? It’s not saved? Wow. Just wow..Version: 3.5.6
✓ Fix BugsThis game is in I’m not sure what iteration, but when I started playing it again it clearly has been redesigned to gravitate toward in app purchases and ads. Previously, bonus lanes were not 200 gold pins per and bowling balls were not unaffordable. There is no reason I should be able to beat every aspect of career mode and then still have balls you can’t afford. The game is also much more buggy now. Tournament placing a are forgotten. Errors that lock up the app force a restart and loss of progress. When returning to tournaments, I’ve been given alerts that I must forfeit to enter the same tournament I was in the middle of. The game mistakingly states that I’m in the middle of a different tournament that I’ve not even unlocked yet, making it impossible to continue. It’s gone in a sad direction and the PBA should be ashamed to continue to put its name behind it. It used to be a very enjoyable game..Version: 3.5.3
✓ OK but....July 10th 2018 Decided to give the game another try but found performance problems, primarily lag. Another problem was how a recent update rolled back a level of progress. I was working a level and after the update that level was locked and the previous level was not played. In addition the previous pop up challenge had major flaws. The last challenge bowler consistently rolled 300 thereby preventing completing the challenge. The update also rolled back any gold pins I earned during the challenge. If I had spent any money on this game I would be seriously po'd. Peviously The game is challenging enough and I spent hours amassing over 200 gold pins. However, after one update those pins disappeared. My requests to customer support went unanswered, so all the hours I spent getting those gold pins has been for naught. This has had the effect of poisoning my attitude with the company and the app..Version: 3.4
✓ Fun game but ads are out of controlI really enjoy the gameplay but the ads are out of control. You have to watch a 30 second ad after EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. Also, there is an “energy” mechanic that means you can only play 1-2 games before you have to either watch more ads or spend real money to “recharge.” I understand having to pay for the premium balls and all that, but can’t I just play with the basic ball and slowly grind towards better rewards without having to constantly watch the same ads over and over? Making me watch ads just to play the basic game with a basic ball is gross. There’s not even an option to just pay $10 or something to make the ads go away. I’d probably do that if I could. As it is I can’t even take it anymore and will be deleting the app. If I have to watch that video of a dude holding a baby and telling me to try this new game where I can make REAL MONEY one more time, my phone is going through a window. Such a bummer because the game is good, but the ads are unbearable..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Worst game ever do not downloadThis is the worst game ever don’t download if you don’t want to waste your time when you bowl no matter where they rig it and make it steer in to the gutter every time so you can’t win.Version: 3.8.26
✓ Some days I like it other days I don’tSo the game is pretty fun, but the glitches and never failing pins get really freakin annoying when you are in the later tournaments that are excessively long and require a ridiculous amount of energy to play. I get that they are selling stuff, but when you are in a tournament that last 5+ rounds and you can only get a couple spares before you get ranked ridiculously low and can not recover, but you have to wait 2+ hours to play the next round. And pins pass through others without hitting them or inexplicably rock to the point they couldn’t possibly stay up, but do anyway ruining your whole tournament, really upset me when I have to spend so much time to play each round (because I ain’t spending that kind of money to play an app). Sometimes my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place finish would wipeout and force me to play it over. I hate the qualifiers with a passion... especially on the badger lane, where all opponents are insanely better then any other tournament (why?)..Version: 3.5.6

✓ Very good appStill a good app but VERY frustrating when ads tie up the game and you have to shutdown your iPad and reboot in order to continue playing. Such a waste of the player’s time. The app still has the problem with some of the daily spins. Emails have not been answered. It is a shame because it is a very good game which they obviously put a lot of work into. Since the app is a couple of years old now, they probably want to put minimal resources into it now. This is a very good and realistic app. Not perfect, but very good as long as you don’t mind investing some dollars into better bowling balls and energy. I think you will get frustrated waiting for the natural course of events to take place. The costs are reasonable but I think you should be prepared to spend some money. One thing that sticks in my craw is the number of times pins just spin around as well as spin around and never go any place. The natural odds are just not possible to calculate. Pins move, even if they do not help you. They travel, sometimes they hit other pins, sometimes they don’t. But overall it is a very good app that gives much enjoyment and brings back memories for many of us..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Not badThe bowling aspect is very good , very difficult to win a game with the standard ball , do not earn enough in a game to upgrade the ball so you find yourself playing the same game over and over trying to earn enough coin to upgrade the ball to be able to win the games.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Bug needs to be fixed or I’m doneDon’t get me wrong this is a great game to play and really fun! Although I’ll progress through levels and then open the game again later and my progress is gone and takes me back a few levels. I got a prefect 300 game and got quite far up and now I’m back almost to the beginning and it has no record of my high game. If this can be fixed then I’m glad to keep playing but if not then I’m done redoing the same levels over and over and having the progress disappear..Version: 3.5.6
✓ Too many adsFar too many ads, not a fan at all.Version: 3.8.50
✓ It used to be decent, not anymoreUsed to play it but not anymore. It’s just went downhill.Version: 3.8.14
✓ Ok game if you like groundhog dayI downloaded the game because of the overall star rating but it didn’t live up to the hype. As a mindless time waster the game is fine but other than that it’s boring AF, l played several times and every time I left the app and came back none of my progress had been saved; I earned a 300 ring for a perfect game to go in my trophy case and when I came back to play again later on it had vanished and all of my tournament progress was gone, this happened every single time I played so it wasn’t a fluke. Basically if you want to play for a few minutes and lose your progress and have to start back at zero this is the game for you; however if you are looking for a game that is more challenging and will save your progress so you can pick up where you left off and continue up the ranks to the PBA this is not your best option. So download something better and whatever you do don’t spend any actual money on this one..Version: 3.5.6
✓ My issue was fixed... until I logged into the game last nightI was having issues playing videos for the daily spin. It got to the point where I had to uninstall and then reinstall the app, and I had lost my progress. Tech support took a few days to get back, but they were able to recover my progress for me and I was able to view videos for the daily spin. I logged into the app last night and encountered the same problem. The app is crashing every time I try to watch a video and the wheel is blacked out with the hand showing me where to spin. I do not want to lose my progress again, nor do I want to keep purging tickets to keep it up. Please fix this problem..Version: 3.8.26
✓ Too easy 😂Love the game but it’s too easy! I got 6 strikes in a row, if only I could play like that in real life! 😂😂.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Cool game but crashes alotThe single player for this game is very fun but the app crashes alot on the multiplayer.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Have deleted...Annoying ads and no option to pay to remove the ads. Sorry but the ads are overbearing and ruin the game play..Version: 3.6.7
✓ Earning gold pins?Love the game. However, I have tried to earn gold pins by getting deals and taking revolving surveys which have no end to them. Open a page, that page opens another survey page and it just goes on and on. When you finally make it to the end, agree to the terms and deal, you return to the game and what do you know, NO additional gold pins. VERY frustrating and time consuming. I play this game RELIGIOUSLY every day and love the game. Are ads not enough to be able to earn gold pins. Since after every game you have to watch an ad!!! Other than that, the game is pretty awesome! Complete a survey to earn gold pins and it just keeps revolving, survey after survey. Gotta do a better job with this..Version: 3.8.8
✓ Good app and funFun to play but too many adds after de each games, very annoying..Version: 3.7.0
✓ Wht d f..k??After the last update.. It wont even start.. Just keeps blocking me from getting started..!! Last update said.. "Fixed minor issues" but u haven't..!! U have made it worse..!!.Version: 1.0.1
