Community Insight:
Dear developer ? Wheres the app -.? Please develop the app for iPhone xr & other later editions of iPhone.
This is a good app but it won't let us open it we had this app before and it was cool then we had to delete because Iran out of gigs then we tried to reinstalled and it won't let us open it What's wrong.
App is fun but now it won't start up for us so please fix it.
Its stop working and it says we cant open the app.
So we ran out of gigs but we had it before so when we come to try to download it again it wont let us.
Update the app to iOS 11 already!!! This is one of our favs and you guys have dropped the ball. Come on, already.
We hate it.. It is possible the worst game we've ever downloaded… It doesn't even show you how to show how to shoot.
How do you play we can't even get shot. If you like this you have a twisted bitter stupid brain! Don't waste you time.
One of the worst games we have ever played.
Take a shower air ball it's all mest up only game to play its boring.
Do not get this game it's the worst game we have ever played.trust us it's bad.
We had it before and had to delete it now we cant do a thing on it it needs bug fixes.
The first 5 mins of this game are fun, and then it's just boring.
It wont even work!!! We hate it!! STUPIDEST THING EVER.
This is an awesome app and we highly recommend it.
Great app on the iPad, but, on the iPhone, frequently gets stuck. We hope the next upgrade, addresses this.
It was fun but the graphics were horrible.
This game is stupid all you do is shoot from the same spots. We give this game 2 stars.
When you miss your first 2 shots your gonna want to restart doncha think.
We read so many reviews and was trying to decide to get it or not. We read a lot that said it was bad and it mainly is.we only made about four shots in the beginning and the rest were about to go in and then for some odd reason bounced off the back board. Aswell after almost every time we played it just kept putting us down on the score board. And we are good ! So if we were you we would get if you want it to take up app space and if you want something addictive and stupid.
The worst game we have ever played. We just hope someone creates a fun 3-point shoot out game with actual players.
You don't make half of the 3s. Don't get it.
The never goes In we can't beleive u made it.
The ball never hit the rim. Do not buy this game it is bad. It is the baddest game we have ever played. So go by another game. We were not going to rate it but it said we had to.
The announcer's lines are just annoying. The gift cards used to make this app cool, but they've just made it too difficult now.
Don't get the shots r so fake .so boring wast of space.they should also make a reset botten .we wish we could give it no stars but of course u can't so don't don't get it!!!!!!!ow and when u shot from the sides it Dousent eaven go as far as it should !so if u were a good person u wouldn't get but if u were a idit u would get it! So don't.
Won't let us throw basket ball Horrible game!:(.
Never get this game shots are sooooo fake.
The free version game lasts about 30 seconds. There's not much to this so we can't see any reason to pay for the full version.
It's a waist of money the controls are horrible it should be free for how crapy it is.
This game is stupid our first time we only got nine points! And the graphics are crummy so the creator can go die in a hole.
Bad. Every time we shoot the ball from the top of the key it hit the rim and hits us in the face.
We're doing everything the directions say and all we ever shoot are air balls and bricks!Waste of time. :(.
Worst game ever made we would put ZERO stars if possible no control over ball horrible game.
This app is stupid,hank,and terrible. We hate it.
This game is the worst game ever created do not get it because it is not even worth it for free.
It's free so just Shut up It's supposed To Be Fun.
This game possesses no real world physics at all! You cannot shoot the ball left, or right, you cannot control how hard you are throwing the ball, and the backboard might as well not exist. If you are planning on buying the full version, you might want to just send that dollar to us instead. We will make sure it's not just wasted.
Until we realized it was more like rolling dice. If the game decides you are going to shoot "bricks" that hit short, it doesn't matter what you change in your technique.
Not worth it Mpoints value went way down! Even the paid version.
Once u learn it mpoints come easy.
Fun game and the mpoints are nice, but half the time the ball goes THROUGH the hoop and backboard like a ghost through a wall…this is not when there is an airball, it is definitely going right through and it is getting really annoying. Please fix this bug.
You need To make it be easier to make shoots and add more shoots.
Some technique can be developed but it seems to be mostly luck. The mPOINTS are the most redeeming aspect of this game but it so frustrating it's almost not worth it.
Awful game. And mpoints never add up.
Poorly developed app makes little indication of what you do wrong when you shoot. Would be 3 stars if the sound would turn off when the switch was of. Overall just a stupid game, providing little fun even if the shooting system was improved. Go get arcade hoops.
This game is way to hard to play who ever made this game should just quit there job.
This game is absolutely awfull. Terrible graphics, game play everything is just turrible.. Just turrible.
We made all shots so we got 34 points.
We score 20 to 28 points! We don't know why all the bad reviews? Learn to shoot properly everybody. You gotta earn the points by gaining some skills. You cant expect easy buckets all the time. Else go pick cherries in your backyard lol.
