"TouchSports™ Tennis really is a “console quality” sports title. It looks and feels much more like something you’d expect to see on a dedicated console than most of the sports titles in the App Store" – touchArcade
"Featuring a fully three-dimensional environment, particle effects for the ball and full touch 'n' tilt controls, this looks like a pretty significant leap forward in terms of iPhone sports gaming." –
PocketGamer
"TouchSports™ Tennis has incredible 3D graphics, and makes full use of the touch and tilt controls in the iPhone and iPod touch platforms." – TUAW
"The game really shows off how powerful the iPhone’s and iPod Touch’s processing and 3D acceleration are" – Tom's Guide.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love it! And it is the few that work with our IOS 4.2.1.
We get more fun than playing FIFA14 and the best part full game and 0 stupid ads its amazing this game we live it and we learned how to play tennis.
We use to play tennis all the time, and this App takes us back to those days when we ran the courts.
This game is just like real tennis!! That is of course you don't like tennis than don't get it.
We love this game! We've been playing this game for months now and it never gets boring.
Incredible pic! Life like loving it It's better than 2011! Lol.
Excellent game. It feels like the real game.
Game is great but the pause button needs to b moved and we feel there should b a real tournament where you can advance to the next round.
We love it but it keeps on taking forever to load if you can fix glitch that would be nice.
We like the game. It more advance than one a downloaded a few years ago. We wish it had a save button to save your game so that your able to go back to when you can. We wish it also had tournament for prize money and tyophies.
Buen control, excelentes grficas en una aplicacin pequea.
Good solid tennis algorithm! Needs a super tough mode and need 1 super tough player prob Roger. Also need to fix scoring bug that gives points to computer when player wins. Need to also fix serve landing pattern, right now it lands well out but always called in. Occasional 1st serve from ad court if long results in losing the point altogether sometimes! Overall great algo.
Better controls than the previous. Needs improvement on the crowd- they sound like only 4- 5 people watching. But better.
Just two problems. 1-pause button should be moved, keep hitting it when we move our player. 2-should have online play.
Nice job, plays a good game of tennis.
We have played better games on our iPod and we have like 73 (no joke) :).
We're tough on stars so be warned. This game is good but could be great with some work. It's ok.
Great Game, but why dosnt it show the actual score of the previous sets??? Like 6/2 0/2 not just 1-0 in sets. Also no landscape view come on that's a rip off. The scoring also is messed up, Im sometimes up 40-0 and then win the next point, but it gives the computer the game, reaaaaalllyyy?? Major updates needed.
They should add a doubles option. They should make the sets and games to win like real tennis championships. They should randomly choose your opponent. Add actual tournament where you advance. Good game.
We usually love all the apps we get, but this app we really can't stand. It started out great it was fun and addictive, but then the glitch started. Every time we would serve we would start to walk sideways and we couldn't start the serve. It would say tap screen to start, but it took forever to start. Don't get this app get another good tennis game like us.
We hate this game just die whoever made this.
Players are not from the right countries. No way to aim shots.
Is this for real? No landscape view on iPhone as advertised? We can't believe we just paid for this.
What an update! The new controls, game play, and graphics look amazing on our iPhone 4s. We really enjoy playing this game & the difficult levels really make it challenging but that's sport. Shouldn't be too easy. Love it.
AWESOME UPDATE! The game LQQKS wicked on the 4s and offers some of the best tennis game play on the App Store. The new 3d sound and upgrades to the net capture the realism of a pro tennis match. Go TouchSports! Keep the updates coming. Our favorite game keeps getting better. IOS rocks! We've played too many hours and it never crashed once.
We like the original but we think we will enjoy this version even more. We were happy to see that they updated it for 2012. It is because of this game, we're learning about tennis. Lol.
This game is awesome we love the upgrade, but, it crashes more times than not, sometimes we can't even play it's frustrating, because it's such a cool game and we want to play over and over again, but we can't.
WILL NOT go into landscape are you freaking kidding us? Lying on the pictures for the app? Am so reporting this to Apple.
The New Update crashes the app. WILL NOT LOAD AT ALL. & before the update we can't play the game sideways only plays upright. FIX PLEASE.
We had the previous version but it became too easy and boring. This version is more challenging than ever, more realistic. We Love This App! It's addictive in a good way.
This was already our favorite tennis game. The new update brought a new level of realism to this game. It took a game to get used to the controls, but once we did, we found we like them a lot. Best tennis game on the app store.
It is a fun game and it takes some getting used to. Wish it had replays.
We just bought this game and spent the last 20 mins trying to load the game. The game would crash when you press start. The same thing would happen after 5 tries. What a waste.
This is the best tennis app out there. A definite must get. Looking forward to future updates and seasonal looks.
Best tennis we've played in a few decades! Can't wait to see what the next update brings.
Great game!!!! What it's missing is tiebreaker matches.
Love this game but needs more players and tournaments would be great.
Best Tennis game you can play on any iPhone! BUY IT.
Missing some game flexibilities… Need practice mode to get used to the game control.
The game is somewhat fun to play. The graphics are nice. The controls are a good idea but sometimes running is not responsive (player stops midway through). Wish they had tourneys.
Doesnt move well waste of money.
Thanks for really taking the tournaments into consideration. (sarcasm) the app is still horrible!!!!! Make tournaments!!!!! They are the whole concept of tennis!!!!!!!! We're warning you right now……….. DONT BUY!!!!!!!!!! Won't hold your interest because of no tournament mode or career mode!!!!!!!! Very bad app!!!!!!!! We were done with it after 3 days!!!!!!! Don't waste 2 dollars!!!!! If your really looking for a good tennis game look at international tennis tour or tennis tour. Tennis tour may look bad but it's soooooooooo much funnnnnn!!!! We're on our 8th day addicted to it and playing it!!!!! Same with international tennis tour!!!!! They both have career modes AND TOURNAMENTS!!!!!!!! Don't waste money on this horrible app like we did!!! And remember: WARNING HIGHLY BORING.
We just wonder what it would be like on an iPad! Nice graphics and colors. Lots of fun.
This is a great arcade tennis game Not a full out sim, but will provide lots of fun entertainment! :).
Great app, we enjoy it every time we play it. Great tine killer.
Plays pretty good. There are a few small flaws that tennis fans might notice. Nadal is left handed. In the game you have him a righty.
On defense, player is not responsive to movement after ball is returned. You get one pre-position and then he freezes as you tap like mad for him to move.
Good game but the game freezes after one set. If they fix that it's a 4-5 star game.
The game is a total waste of money, bad camera set-up and very lack of detail in general.
