Community Insight:
When you get a shot then when u miss every time an lame ad comes on.
Its ok not the game we will play and bad game.
We get that some apps rely on adds for revenue but its a little over the top with this game.
This game turns on a ad when you miss a basket and does not show one so you cant play.
Its not working for our iphone 11 max pro.
We were playing this game then it instantly closed us out so until the git rid of this bug our rating will stay the same.
It's a good game, but it would be nice if you could move the hoop farther out.
We love this game but whenever we want to show someone it never wants to find a surface it would take forever to do it we tried deleting & reinstalled but it still didnt work AND we have the IPhone X.
Why is there a to close to the hoop we dont like it. Also we wish the hoop dident move we wish it would just stay in the same place. And when im playing around the world we cant even go to the spot we would have to go through the wall.
Great job! Would love to see better graphics and less cartoonish. But its fun and well done.
Awesome game. Lots of fun. Great on iPhone X.
This is not bad for an AR game. After grappling on finding a surface we started trying to shoot baskets. Theres a slider on the right to shoot the ball, but we find it cumbersome. How about using a swipe gesture to shoot the ball? It would be more precise and make shooting balls into the basket much easier. The slider is not so precise because one needs to use trail and error in order to shoot the ball into the basket consistently.
Been using it on the iPhone X. Id say Ive used the app about 10 times and its found a surface about 3 of those times. Pretty cool when it did work but it was really hard to get it to work even when we had a lot of light.
Hard to play when the game cant find a surface to use.
Why do we need a flat empty desk to play?! Will the basket fall over?! Just put the stupid basket on the screen and let us play. This is unnecessarily frustrating. Deleted.
This app cant find a flat surface no matter where Im aiming our phone. No desks work, not even the floor.
Constantly cant find a surface to place the basket.
Why can 6s play it but a 6 cant?? Fix this.
Great concept, bad implementation. Takes forever to find a spot to place the goal, too many misses and your forced to watch ads. Nice but we'll wait till somebody else does it better. We don't download thin premises for add apps.
Camera tracking is almost flawless and gameplay is addicting and fun. Doesnt take very long to calibrate and gameplay mechanics arent broken like most AR games. Definitely a serious AR game.
This game is quite simple to learn, robust and does what its made for, and easy to enjoy some fun while bored. This is basically a 4.5 review because we feel that the developer can add more content and features. This game also works on all devices compatible with ARKit so if you use AR then it should work.
Nice use of AR on iPhone and this is just the beginning of AR. Not any problems running on a iPhone 7 great game.
When you use the desk version. We always have it on a desk with nothing on it and it always says surface not found even when we move the camera around we will update the review when it is fixed.
Its super difficult to find a surface. Especially for the desk top mode. Normal mode worked decently in our back yard but shooting is pretty difficult. Needs a bit of work.
We have an iPhone 6s but it says that it cant find a surface.
The game is fun WHEN IT FINDS A SURFACE to play on. Too often we get the message about not being able to find a surface. And (1) yes we have all camera permissions turned on for the app, (2) we have a brand new iPhone 8 so dont respond with the list of devices it isnt compatible with. And we were dumb enough to pay the $2 to get rid of the ads before testing out the game fully.
Interesting concept, but very buggy. This game can never find a usable surface. Parking lot? Nope, try again. Street? Nope, try again. Desk mode, same issues. Table? Nope, try again. Forget this, uninstall.
We have tried multiple times to find a surface. We have an iPhone SE, which has ark-kit. Please find a fix for this, because we really want to play this game.
It constantly sets hoop to close, no option to override setting of hoop. Waste of time.
Everywhere we pointed the camera no surface could be found for the hoop. IPhone 8 256GB. Deleted the app.
Doesnt work at all no matter what.
Very skeptical of all these positive reviews. Spent an hour trying to find a surface but couldnt.
Cant get far enough away away to even play on our desk or in a blank room on our new iPhone 8.
We dont mind ads to generate revenue but why right in the middle of a shot and not between games.
Just a blank blue screen saying it cant find a spot for the hoop.
BUT the app developers were really nice and told us it doesn't work on 5s.
A very fun and cool game to play with the new AR feature. We have had tons of fun with this app and hope more and more updates and additions come out for it.
Dont know why only 3.7 stars.. This is amazing, all these new AR apps are insane. Great works devs.
This is the best basketball shooting simulation Ive seen for iPhone games. Latest update adds "horse" mode that is perfect for an augmented reality game. Id like to have more statistics, including total shooting percentage, in future updates.
This app is not working with iPhone 5s and 6 and 6 plus!! Working with 6s or later… And is awsome.
Update! This app doesn't work on iPad Air 2 , developer will fix app so that it is not downloadable on incompatible devices. We are moving rating from 1 to 3, as we got a very quick reply from the developers. Should get zero stars, app fails to ask for camera, game never can start! Apple needs to examine apps first to weed out garbage like this one.
The app is not detecting any area even if you spend 20 mins searching on different areas. Please update.
The idea is a very good one, and the AR works although it is clunky. Why would the hoop not automatically turn towards the camera? Another big issue is the controls for shooting a basket are just lazy. Why not use flicking or pulling the ball? Instead its just a slider for power.
We have a iPhone 7plus and this doesnt work. Says it cant find the surface.
App crashes when opened making this completely useless.
Been trying for 5 minutes, shouldnt be this hard.
App doesnt work, does not select a surface to play on. #weak.
We tried it and it doesnt work and just keeps searching for surface it couldve been a fun game.
The app doesnt ask for camera access so it just says looking for surface.
Doesnt work on iPhone 6+. Cant find a surface doesnt ask for camera access. This needs to be fixed, not everyone has new devices and it says this app is compatible.
