i like game
it good
Adds
This app is “Add Central”. You’ll spend more time watching adds than actually playing.
Not bad but could be amazing
Good game but I can only bowl 1 game,it takes a lot of energy and takes so long to replenish
Ads
Was one of my favorite mobile games for the longest time, just got on an now its an ad after every single game… thanks for selling out! Literally was my favorite solely because I didn’t have to worry about pop ups or ads.
Not every pro bowler is listed
It says that you can bowl against the women’s PBA bowlers but when I go to the practice screen it only show the men bowlers not the women’s pwba bowlers
Best Bowling Experience Ever
The only downside to this game is that the iOS version hasn’t been updated in 9 months. That one fix would make my day
Really
I know yall don’t read these reviews but here it goes I mean I hit strikes and the next frame I hit the pins like I did for the strike and no strike I mean I guess I have to bowl a perfect game just to win a tournament bc I bowl a game where I have strikes and spares but I come in 10th place I mean come on and another thing please I beg of you get rid of all the ads I mean after every single game that’s annoying nobody should have to pay to get rid of all the ads I mean a few ads is fine but not after every single game
Fun Game
The game is great, but the ads are excessive and they don’t give you the option to buy an ad-free experience outright. You have to buy something in the store to get ad-free play for 30 days. Then you have to keep buying something in the store every 30 days because the experience with ads is unbearable. After every single game there is an ad and it’s just so miserable. Greed is a nasty thing.
It’s ok but laggy
I was doing multiplayer and it kept freezing
To many ads
This is a great game, but there are too Many ads. I understand that’s how they make money, but a lot of the ads are buggy and won’t let you exit out them to get back to the game itself. If the developers can correct this issue, it’ll be a 5 star game.
Good but quick question
For some reason, I’ve had this app on my iPad for a long time and recently I downloaded it on my iPhone and for some reason, it didn’t have all of my progress on my iPad either. Like, when I got it on my phone, it erased most of my progress on my iPad. Is this normal because this never really happened before. On my iPad I was around like level 36 I think, and when I downloaded the app on my phone, it made my progress go down to level 12 and I didn’t even delete it off my iPad. Is this normal or is this a problem?
Ads after every single game
When i first started playing this game i not once watched an ad for a very long time and now its every single game. Its absolutely ruined the game for me and likely other people.
performance and ads
playing this game is a lot of fun and nostalgic. the issues i have is the consistent ads after every game and every free spin. it is just unbearable and the main reason why i don't always like playing this game. the performance is good but also a bit laggy, pretty annoying too but it's not as bad as the horrific amount of ads. the ads are really the most annoying and aggravating part of this app.
Loss of built up credits.
I want to know why all of my built up credits disappeared?
Will not buy energy haha…
Cool game but I trying playing the game and the next thing I know is I’m out of energy. So then I can’t even play the game that i downloaded. I can’t even play the game you made. I like the game a lot but energy costs ruin it.
Controlled support
Can yall please add controller support
AI and the Oil Patterns
Any event games especially the daily, are worthless to play more. Each and everytime in any of the events by the time you get to either the third, second to the last game, or the last game of each event, the AI becomes unbeatable, and the oil patterns get so slick your not able to control any of the three bowling balls that are offered in any event. But the AI using the worse ball still able to throw 11 or 12 strikes in those games. Get rid of the oil patterns if you're not going to make these event fair. You're making enough advertising money on this, and profit off this, because you haven't had an overhaul of any kind to this game, since you added those Elite events. That was what 8 or 9 years ago. There should be actual compliance audits each year on these software companies and their app games. But since there's no actual regulations to oversee the abuse in gameplay, and a limitations on how many ads can be seen based on game play, or time played to not have to view ads(that are 30 to 60min minimum), every minute(how long one game last).
Pin action
Highly questionable pin action on this game! Other than that! It’s great! Yes some of the ads are too long tho
Great game but lost account
I had so much fun playing this game spent a few dollars. Didn’t play for a month or 2 got back on it and my account was gone. i used facebook to sign in and it reset everything.
…
A great game just soooo many ads.
It is so boring 🥱
1 star
Awful Oil Pattern
The Shark Oil Pattern sucks
I love this game but..
I love this game but they should have multi player mode so you can play on 1 device with 2-4 or 5 people!
Badger
I know in real life the badger oil pattern is known for its extreme difficulty. But it’s just not even fun….
Fix This!
When i first started playing this game it was fun and challenging. I have completed all the tournaments and now I just play the events. The same events over and over. Here are complaints: 1.) Need new event venues these are old and boring. 2.) I find it interesting when I’m playing an event and I’m 235 + and half way through I’m throwing 160s because my stops spinning. That’s rigged. If you’re gonna do that at least let us any ball we like. Especially if we spent the $ to own them. That’s a complete rip off. 3.) Like i said in the former paragraph, get rid of the scripting. If the AI’s gonna beat me let it be fair and square. I have lost countless games by one pin and that isn’t any coincidence. A lot of complain about this. Quit putting a restriction on the spin of my ball. It’s ridiculous.
Lost all my progress!
This game has been amazing!! I’ve been playing it for years but this morning I work up and all my progress is gone!!! I don’t know how to fix it! I just don’t want to restart that all!
Good, but….
Ads make this game unplayable
Great game but needs polishing.
The game is fun but the ads are ridiculous frequent. I also think it’s ridiculous that it costs hundreds of gold pins to participate in the bonus tournaments. It should be either play the bonus tournaments for free and win them and get the bonus lanes by winning them or buy them with gold pins. Entering the bonus tournaments shouldn’t cost gold pins though. It’s also ridiculous that the limited time bowling balls are locked behind such high levels because it makes it nearly impossible to get them without spending very hard to earn gold pins unless you’re already at a level that takes ages to get to. I get the balls that are permanently in the game not being allowed to be bought with tickets until a certain level but the limited time ones should have that option at any level. To me that’s just cheap. There is also lag in the game. The game lags while the ball is rolling down the lane right before it gets to the pins on pretty much every shot. I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 16.5.1 (c) but the lagging has been happening since several iOS 16 updates ago.
Issues
I love this game and have played it for years. The last week, all the games does is crash. I can’t play it.
Adds and paywall
Adds after every round and the paywall to upgrade to better balls makes this game not as enjoyable. So sick of all the games with adds. If you put adds in your game I will never spend a dime. If you don’t have adds I am likely to pay for some upgrades. Then again we should never pay for anything in a game, what do we really gain from spending our hard earned mobey? Nothing legitimate.
PBA bowling challenge
This game for me has literally been life saving!! It helped me quit smoking! Basically anytime I get a craving I just pull this game up and it gets me through it every time. This is the best bowling game I’ve ever played.
ads
the game is almost unplayable with the amount of unskippable/playable ads you have to run through
It’s ok i guess
The game was amazing and was going well. Unfortunately some time later, the game lagged. It’s laggy even on my phone. This bug is annoying for the game. Please fix this bug UPDATE: The lag is gone on the iPhone. However on the iPad, the lag is still there.
The opposite of fun
The app is so buggy and laggy and the golden pin ads are so intrusive that it spoils any fun. Also it takes forever for the app to register that I am swiping and it almost always reads bad input. After the Golf games from Concrete i had expectations but jeez this is quite bad! I hope you guys fix it. If you do i will play it again.
TOO MANY ADS!!
Best bowling game hands down, as usual! But damn there are so many ads!!! I can’t get through an event without ads immediately after every game, it’s so annoying! I’d even pay to have the ads removed. Anyone else??
Ad Overdose
This game is being bombarded by ADs It’s like 30 seconds play time then 5 minutes of ADs. That is ridiculous. Needs to be fixed or you lose more players which will cause loss of AD revenue.
Too many ads
Greedy CEOs pump ads into everything. Purchases only get rid of ads for 30 days. They want to suck every last bit of fun out of the game with the amount of ads they put.
Ads galore
5 stars for game play. 5 stars for “free”. Although it’s very expensive to buy extra things in the pro shop. But that’s to be expected. 0 stars for the fact that you have to watch ads for other games in between every game you play. Very annoying. If you can deal with that, the game is great fun.
Make it better
Make it like console graphics
Chomping
Job
One thing you could add
Great game but one thing that you could add to make it even better is a career mode where you travel on a PBA schedule instead of wherever and earn in game money to buy new balls that are real. A spare in my book but with this add would be a strike
Awful ads and cheap misleading in game currency generation
I can play two games then I gotta wait an hour before I can play two more is dumb
Fun but bugs
Fun game but the game freeze too much when ads appear.
Not user friendly
Speed cannot be increased
Ads
Ads are way too frequent. Makes me want to delete it. Shouldn’t have to pay money to get rid of them.
Bowling
Game is awesome perfect for everyone !!! Just wish they added Jason belmonte on here! The best deserves recognition man!!!
Out of touch and money hungry developers.
I guess these developers have no reading comprehension skills. People want to pay a one time fee to remove the adds. Paying to remove them for 30 days is money hungry and deceptive. There are plenty of other bowling games with shorter adds or an option to remove them with a one time.
Clean the gutters
Great graphics. Ball control is lacking. Should hook buttons be used, they’re essentially non-responsive. Do you tap one repeatedly, tap once, or hold one down until pins are struck? If the ball is moved L or R of centre, the bowler’s view of the pins should be identical. Directly behind the ball. A few tweaks and socially distanced, online bowlers from all skill levels are back scoring virtual spares and strikes. I missed the Teams button. In development? In all, it was fun and interesting to see how balls took to specific lanes.
Did really like it
Had 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 :(
Sound bug
I don’t know if this is a bug but i dont like when the music and background sound cuts off, I remember when i was little and i dont remember and sound being cut off
