Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is the best bowling game ever.
This is the best bowling, poker, and shuffleboard game on iOS. Its so good that we finally paid for the ad free version.
Love the graphic and game design.
Really like to play the game keeps the mind active.
Lots of action! Lots of fun! Love playing the game.
We really like playing this game. Its fun and passes the time away.
We have both paid and unpaid versions . Truly ultimate.
When we first sign in to play, when we tap 10pin shuffle, the game freezes the title turns RED, but nothing happens! We are forced to leave the game, and (ipad) delete it from our days list onscreen. (Like a local delete). We prefer to play SHUFFLE! What is happening.
This no longer plays the correct sounds when you bowl. Needs an update to be compatible with iOS 26.
Ok. So we want to play ten pin bowl instead of poker. But we press the bowling and we wont let us go. It only works for poker. Either way, it is still kind of fun.
We had to delete the game. The free version pushed ads that cannot be muted. So annoying.
Worked for years but now nothing starts. Reinstalled app and it worked for one day. Broken again. Now deleted.
The ads at the top of the game cover the content of the game so you cannot see the cards that are drawn and so therefore you cannot play the game at all. It makes it completely unplayable we have sent several request to google telling them that this is covering Contant of the game and it still does not change anything. Please fix this. This is on an iPhone 14 Pro.
Why is it that the old version was were you could play all the stuff but now its Only with the pro or can only play poker bowling.
We dont like we cant play peer to peer why is that. Please fix.
The notch on an iphone 12, 13, etc hides the cards! Cannot see them.
While we are OK with ad supported software, it is not right in this game. If you are playing the the poker version, the ad covers your hand and you can't see. Please put the cards on the side or just below the ad.
Fun and challenging game Love peer to peer.
Fun game to play , strangely realistic.
We've had this app for years. It's fun, unpredictable and relaxing.
This game has a level of skill for all and is a great game for all. We love it.
Love this game and have had it for years. However, after the upgrade to iOS 15 it does nothing but hang on launch Please fix this awesome game.
On our iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 15, the game wont complete startup for bowling! A sad day.
Used to be a basic fun game. Now it won't even open on iphone 13. IOS 15. This has been going on for a long time now and there appears to be no fix coming any time soon. Time to delete and move on.
We used to love this app. But it doesnt work on IOS 15. It just freezes.
The game will Crash while playing for cash, they refund ur money but only a few times,after that ur just screwed.
In latest update you have covered up your cards at the top with an advertisement bar. Cant play game this way. Even the pro has cards covered up. If we cant play it we wont keep it.
Sling. Not as much with being able to play this game. Thank you for creating the game. Donna.
We enjoy this game Ive had it for about 2 years and we always play the free versions and o dont get cut off because we dont pay for the upgrades. Thank you game creators.
Great for when you are waiting on your car to finish being serviced.
Fun to play alone, against iPad or with peers.
When we slide the puck up to send it towards the pins, it just stops dead wherever we let go, it doesnt slide down the alley. Ive tried every different thing we can think of, but nothing seems to work. Sad, it looks like fun.
Literally slove broading and noob.
We have been playing this free version for awhile and now our puck will not even move. We tried deleting and reinstalled but still no change. This just started a couple of days ago when asked about tracking. All the wording is very small so not sure if that is the problem. We do have the full version on our fire tablet and it works fine.
You broke it! No longer working on iPhone 12 mini. IPhone vs player, our puck will no longer slide.
People this game should be flooded with reviews. We will repeat , where the he–are you so called gamers. People drop Big Bird and play a real adult game. We challenge all you so called gamers, give this game a chance. Then come back and thank us.
Truly a fun game! We love the sound effects too! We could play all day but life interrupts. We recommend this company highly. Youll love it!,,,,.
This reminds us of one we used to go into the bars in the 60s.
Always there to help take a break from our day.
We like to unwind with games that dont simulate evisceration or gunshot wounds. This is sure to please.
Lots of action! Lots of fun! Love playing the game.
Its a great idea mixing games together this way. Its vs your we-phone. Its fun. Download and enjoy.
We enjoyed it a lot and we wish we could play it all day with that being said every time we play this game it creates a small problem in our life so you guys are going to have to come up with a game that is not so self indulgence we have to say.
Our nephew 3 yrs old and we bowl, he loves playing this game.
We downloaded 2 years ago and then we played this game, and we saw how to play. And then, we get a strike, or a spare! That is why we rated this 5 stars for this! And plus, who made this game? Answer.
Please make the game last forever because we love the game.
10 pin makes the game fun. The pins seem to react like live bowling, and the poker makes you try to get every score.
We are Joy shuffle board oh fun we have lots of lots of fun we care.
You guys made the best game ever and made it Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo FUN ! But we don't like the fact that you have put the adds on this game but besides that it is very fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sofia Kocel we're 8 1/2.
Great game- our favorite! Wannabe-Limo Driver.
