Who writes this game
They should be fired because matching a level 5 up with a level 10 who's played 10000 games more than me with like 25000 coins is a recipe for unfair matchup and it can't be satisfying for that guy to beat a beginner, this happens 5 out of 8 recent games and I feel ripped off and don't like how that feels to play someone I shouldn't be playing middle of the afternoon. Do better!
Great updates
Love this game, it’s more realistic than others, imho.. just need some adjustments to make it perfect, aiming is getting shorter, not sure if it going to get better after certain time, challenges is still blank.
i cant log in my facebook
how to log in my face book?
I can’t get rank anymore. I’m 26 rank. 100 games I won. Not showing rank
I can’t get rank anymore
The best
If only other reviewers would be more patient and understand that with time and experience this game is easily heads and shoulders better than the rest.
No way
Since reading reviews will not play this game must be in cahoots w other pool games all all rip off go back to gaming school
Good pool game
It seems that Giraffe Games are concentrating on this rather than snooker stars, which is disappointing as I much prefer snooker as a sport. Still a good game though
Best underestimated pool game app
I was playing this game on Android few years ago. By far the most realistic pool game ever, best physics, graphics, gameplay, sounds, everything! After so many years I installed it again on my iPhone. Development seems to have stopped altogether. It’s a real shame :(
Updates needed
Played this game for over a year and really enjoy it. The graphics are good and gameplay quite realistic but, the game is desperately in need of updated for offline games. You can only play one lobby with friends should give you an option on a few different games, would like the option to turn game chat off.
Howdy.
I love this game! But, it would be cool to have an option for music. And old juke box or something to break the silence. I know pool is a silent game. But this is a game. Thanks !
Bad game
Unrealistic physics mechanics.
Real physics. Real billiards
Only game that has real pool physics such as “throw”. Example is putting left spin on cue will throw object ball with right spin. I would give it 5 stars if it had a cheaper option to play 9 ball and/or added tournaments. I would also add a leaderboards and possible leagues option
It’s all right
Game is alright. Not really impressed and got bored really fast, Although there are some who might like it , but Certainly it is not worth spending money on.
Ok game. Some bugs to work out
Been playing this game for almost a year. I like it a lot. But recently I haven’t been able to play any online matches. It searches for games. And let’s me play on the warm up table while it does so. But never actually connects me with anyone. Is there an issue with the game or is it possibly on issue on my end somehow? Any help and or feedback would be greatly appreciated. That being said the game is pretty good. There’s too much “slop” involved in the game. People shoot a ball. Bounce it off 4 sides of the table and hit a ball other than the one they hit (still one of theirs tho) into a random pocket. And it counts as they made their shot. And that’s not how you play pool. I play in league play in my hometown. And you either sink the hall you’re shooting for in the pocket you’re aiming for. Or you call that your ball will bounce off this ball or that ball and then go in the pocket. This “slop “ crap. Is just that. Crap.
Супер
Ну вот лучшая игра из всех, 15 лет играл в 8 ballpool, эта по сравнению бомба👍👍👍👍👍 добавить создания клубов и русский язык, и будет супер из всех
to much waiting
one of the biggest problems with this game is that after only a few tries you have to wait to play it again and another thing is that you can’t play with other people the game if you could just play with others the game would be so much better
Why no comms?
Great game. Play it all the time. It would be nice to say Nice Shot and / or Great Game and maybe a smiley face - why such limited ability to acknowledge one’s competitor in a polite and happy fashion?
Many bugs need to fix:
Great graphic, and good pool game. However, many bugs still occur: 1. Screen play suddenly blackened, player lost the turn and loose the game. Not all the times, but it happens. 2. Balls on the table are not exactly on the location after the first break. 99% 3. Declare the wrong winner. The black ball (last shot) doesn’t fall to the pocket, but it declared the shooter won the game. Happens once.
Ehh
these idiots won’t update their game. You can’t rematch a player or have tournaments. No call shot game modes either or chat feature. Also while playing 9 ball, the 9 goes in on the break far too often. Physics are great, yes, but these losers won’t update their game..This could easily surpass Miniclip if they actually made some effort.
Favorite game
....I think - I have a not full game. Some people sent me quick messages, but I haven’t it in my chat. And game have not a sound music. It’s okay?? I rly love this game so much, but I have little trouble with this (
Opponent pauses
Be careful, when this happens, he activates a cheat and will never miss a shot. Always perfect and perfect placement!!!!!!
Das beste aus der Poolszene
Die Physik und Graphik sind auf höchster Ebene. Die Arcade Komponente ist auch gut umgesetzt. Leider gibts ein Sternabzug wegen der Entwicklung beim Fortschritt Richtung „pay2win“
Glitch
This app will glitch and take coins you have won.
Eh....
Coming from playing this on Android and the iOS version horrible compared to the Android version, a shame too
WoW
I think would be better if we coult play 8 pool ball on 9ft table and 10ft table currnetly the table for 8 ball pool is 7ft table.
BAD!
Muy mala me quita mi dinero sin ni siquiera a ver jugado! Ni se les ocurra invertir dinero en ella, desinstalado!
Screen goes black, counts as scratch, costs me matches
The screen randomly goes black and it counts as a scratch. I have ran the table only to lose on the 8 ball as I cannot shoot then. Disappointing.
Good game
This is a good game but it is all about paying to advance I much prefer snooker stars
Kids?
Just tried this game for first time. Didn't want to login with Facebook, said no thanks. A pop-up comes across the screen and tells me "hey look, it's our game!" ...... hostile. Repressed anger. I hope their mothers are proud of their boys! This is no more than a bunch of little neighborhood bullies who somehow got somebody with a brain to design an for them. If you have played this game for sometime, probably wouldn't be a bad idea for you to get automatic night lights around your house, and an AK 47. Hey! It's just a game!
Started off good but now glitches
Download at Xmas, loved it playing all the time. Then periodically when my shot would suddenly display a black screen meaning my shot was lost because I couldn’t see the table? Now doing it either twice during a game or once every other game. Now had to to delete as too frustrating to continue.
The Best Of The Best...and All The Rest!!
I’m a big stickler for graphics quality when I’m searching for apps to play, and these are the best graphics I’ve ever seen in any game, let alone pool games, especially on my iPad! A job well done! 👍
Physics
The physics are terrible
Disappointing compared to snooker stars
Struggles with the issue most pool games have in the fact they use a rule set which isn’t used for recognised worldwide tournaments. Instead we get this silly American bar rules. Needs more options for online games earlier. You need 5k to play a 9 ball game. Have 4 different at each buy in.....these rules....official world rules.....official 8 ball rules and 9 ball. Give us the options. Physics are “ok” ball goes in no matter how hard you hit....sure with the huge American tables this can happen but it’s still off here. Aim rests quite often just as you take a shot meanin misses because of the game and not you.
Can we please stop having to pay!!
Common problem with most pool games!
Great mechanics - but pay to win
Like Snooker Stars, physics are pretty spot on. But this is a firmly pay to win game - the cue you’re given to start with is absolutely appalling, it has no power (you struggle to get around the table at all) which also means playing positional is extremely difficult. You can barely generate any spin, so even simple screw shots are tough. Shame really - I’ll stick to snooker stars.
Charging me for something I didn’t by
Charge my credit card 15 dollars for something I didn’t order and now they won’t give me my money back
