This used to be our favorite game on HP TouchPad, but after its inevitable demise, iPad made its way to us. We found this game by Big Head, and it's the best snooker/pool (in app purchase) game ever after the Celeris pool.
We are very surprised there are no comments for this game. This is an insanely great game with stunning graphics and if know a little about snooker it's an amazing game! Also just for 99 cents you can purchase in-app 3 pool games with the same amazing controls and graphics. Great purchase overall and unquestionably 5 stars.

A very unrealistic controlling! Why always cannot we pot the point we want??as if there's oil on the table!! Cannot the cue ball stop!? Really worse then previous international snooker! AI is also bad.
We're very happy with the game overall. Graphics are top notch. Best looking pool game on the iPhone. The addition of us/uk 8 ball and 9 ball were a big selling point for us. Breaks could have a little more "oomph" in these modes, but still a satisfying experience. We'd really love to see a career mode and multiplayer for those game types in an update. That would put the game to 5 stars for us! Also, we'd like to see the pocket cam on missed shots, like snooker club. Every time the cam comes up as it is, you know the shot is going in. Kinda takes the suspense out of the shot, especially the long slow table length shots. Having said that, the table cloth speed is perfect, and there is the option to slow it down if you prefer. AI can be brutal on the higher levels but we like the challenge. It's a bit pricey compared to other pool/snooker games on the market. If you are a fan of the genre like we are, it is definitely worth the investment. Kudos to big head games for the effort. We hope to see many great updates in the future.
We just got our new ipad. We were excited to see how this game will look on the new one. Retina display, you know. Well… It is just not smooth anymore… Like it is too much work for the processor. We changed our render options to lower quality, but didn't seem to help much… Is it the game or is it the ipad.
2 after the update schedule for ipad 2 was not playable correct nach dem Zeitplan fr das Update fr iPad 2 wurde nicht richtig spielbar iPad 2 dopo il programma di aggiornamento per iPad 2 non era giocabile corretta despus de que el programa de actualizacin para el iPad 2 no se pueden reproducir correctamente.
We assure you. It is the best snooker out here. We give you our word!!!! Good job developer.
Could not play the game for the first few hours, kept crashing before starting. It has finally worked. We give it a 3 star rating so far.
This game doesn't have the graphics that match the $ 7. The aiming just ridiculous. We regret that we had payed 7 bucks for it.
