Although it's fun, vr can't be played by two people.
How do friends connect through AR.
Tough game but at least its up to us to loseor win.
This game has took our mind off of everything. But heres the problem we dont like that you have to pay to play. But we love your game.
Upper right hand corner shots get rejected when going perfect in the hole.
We present want to get new frozen.
Why dont you guys add new pool sticks that we can buy? With our gold bars.
Great game need some single tournaments.
The best realistic billiards game on any app platform. Try it, if your into playing billiards and cant make it to a real pool hall. Well here you go. Wont be disappointed.
We have played so far but we really do love the game it has bugs. And also we were really looking forward to the AR and play with our brother but he can't join us or we cant join him for some reason. Well maybe that might be because of the latest update being 3 YEARS AGO.
We love this game. Its the best pool game in the App Store in our opinion but theres one problem. When a game ends it says it has lost connection and we press the retry button but just comes back to the same lost connection screen and our WiFis connected so we dont know whats the problem. And sometimes it starts a new game with the same person even though we didnt press the rematch button. But overall this is a great game and If the problem gets fixed it would definitely deserve a 5 star review.
This game was fun until you get drawn to play a 1 handicap player over and over again and dont get to shoot. What a waste of time. Unless you like watching bots shoot over and over we wouldnt recommend this game.
It is difficult to move the cue to make good shots. Not enough sensitivity to alignment.
Get rid of bots its actually annoying.
The game plays wonderfully. But we do not understand the Total Winnings (TW). If TW is $10000, why cant we play Elephant Palace for $500? It tells us Not Enough Cash. Is this a glitch.
Writing another review This game is the BEST pool game in the App Store but the biggest problem (and only problem) we have with this game is constantly getting disconnected from the game. Im not sure if its a coding issue or a server issue but we have a lot of friends that play this game as well and they all say the same thing. Constantly getting disconnected makes everyone NOT want to play this game so please, please, PLEASE put some money back into fixing this issue. Thanks for all the great game content you are creating. Loyal fan, J.
The game is good but we wished you could communicate with the opponents through audio, that will be a great feature.
The game is laid out well and definitely rigged -some days you cant miss a shot some days you cant make a shot and its not us -all in all its very good not a whole lot of ads and such like Pool8. It would be nice when they have the pool events that they would either colorcode the cues or number them -when you win them once youve won the cues they have available ,theres no sense in playing any farther than winning the 10 grand be smart on their part to elaborate the cues prizes. Been playing the game for years and we keep coming back so we must like it good luck.
We want you to update the game more. Like add more tables that cost more. And add more cues. We got bored of this game just because it didnt have that much updates. The last time we played this was like 2 years. So please update it more. With different types of seasons or events too, our dad is addicted to the game and adding updates would get him into it more.
Too bad the game is hacked by jerkoffs who ruin the game . Just like mini clip is ruined. Other than that its a great game. But you never know when your win will be ruined.
This game is really good, probably one of the better online pool games out there. The issue we have though, is the matchmaking. You could be a rank 20 and still be put up against people that are rank 1. Its quite annoying.
Why do the 8 ball tables go from 500 to 2500? How about 500 to 1000 or 500 to 1500 then 2500.
The game is alright but one thang, we dont care what englis you use, you will scratch or be behind another ball, we dont care if there is only 1 ball left, you will be behind it.
We cant get the AR multiplayer to work with friends no body shows up on under the list.
Overall good but needs to be bugged out.

We played on the iPhone for a long time before, but recently we bought an iPad, hoping to synchronize the playing records to the iPad. We found that without this function, and Facebook could not log in.
We spent money on this game thinking games are fair and not 20 dollars either we will never buy again unless you make better deals on buying money Ive played a lot of games that arent fair and this is kinda one of them but this is not entirely bad the first game goes to mini clips carrom pool they hack 100% it wouldnt be a completely waste of time if it were possible to win unless they are hacking like mini clips does 100% and this is like gambling if we want to gamble Ill go to Vegas we have better addiction then keeping this one and if people dont enticing you with emojis when your shooting to miss your shot that might help with the fair gameplay but most games are pay to win and this one just has terrible deals we lost 7.5 million in under 5 minute but most importantly a waste of money.
The strangest and most incomprehensible selection of players for the game. Level 19 plays with a champion 100% of the time. This one is like a world boxing champion to put with a rookie. Absolutely predictable effect. Totally predictable and weird game. Poorly the wasted time.
Tired of getting stuck in rooms we didnt want because the game doesnt let you withdraw before it takes all your points. Put some form of confirmation in this game so if a player made a mistake they have a way to BACK OUT!!! Oh, fix that software. We shot a video of this game and it made moves that were more like watching an INVISIBLE FRIEND move the ball in favor of a prefered player. Pool balls NEVER ACT LIKE this.
The game is fun at the beginning then ekon gets into the game , because they want you to spend money , therefore you are starting to lose, with unbelievable shots and impossible things we guess chris ye needs money thats why instead of improving his game and trying to make a fun game he is trying to rip his playes . So dont bother playing.
Yep. Its happening again. Just spinning 8 ball. Tells a lot about it.
People are using mods on this app just like on 8 ball by mini clip, we can see the beginner cue has more power behind it than when we used it the opponents are just barely at times putting power behind it and they keep sinking balls that clearly are in places they at the moment shouldnt be able to break through but they keep doing it and landing shot after shot we cant ban the cheaters or Im deleting the app Im not playing against people who wont let us play not happening.
Servers frequently lose connectivity with players, resulting in delays to reconnect, or worse players losing games in competition. Software sometimes glitches and selects the pocket you have to put the ball in, which is frequently impossible. Technical issues have increases substantially in 2022.
A lot of players know how to make the app fail for other players. Things like letting the time expire, quitting mid-game or even quitting at all will cause the other player to be kicked out of app and not be able to log back in. The developer no longer has control of this app and doesnt try to fix the issues.
This used to be a great game until recently we ran into mods where our opponents could move the cue ball wherever they wanted.
In this game, you must pay enough money to buy billiard clubs, props and other items to win. If your opponent buys a good Billiard Club, you will lose. It has a great impact on the game experience. It is definitely a junk game. It only wants users to pay. It doesn't consider the game experience at all. Don't download it.
This game is laughable. After many deletes and reloads, always the same thing you take aim,shoot, and the q ball inexplicably goes off in another direction usually at a crucial time in the game. We cant count the number of times this has happened. So frustrating, Im done.
The shots are made to be inaccurate which causes players to lose cash and stay in a low range unless a player purchases expensive cues. Not a great game but it is a go to when waiting on other games to replenish.And now it wont respond to a 2 star rating. Now it gets a one star.
Sadly for a game with great graphics and ease of use the software for controls is seriously inconsistent. For instance english applied to the cue ball produces different results based on the stick being used. In addition there are times when the screen flashes and sudden changes occur. For instance, the ball will change possession without justification. In another instance a player ranked as a beginner, using a beginner cue that was rated very low power, sunk seven balls on the initial break shot. The internet advertises hacks to the app. Shots scratch so often its easy to believe its part of the programing, the cue balls rising like a zombie to find a dark hole to disappear into. Theres also a lot of rude players. The game regularly mismatches players by skill level. Overall- not worth the time, trouble, or frustration.
Why am we stuck at a rating of 15 when all we do is win.
The game is not working since about 3 weeks.
If you are just beginning to play this game the best way to advance quickly is to spend some cash and first get a good cue. If you are any good at pool with a good cue you will do fantastic. Purchase the 70 gold bars and get the day break cue, it gives you the most time. Second purchase 10 of the amateur caulks. Use the chalks only when you feel they are needed. Thats it, you are ready to rock. Fun game.
It would be great to have snook.
Our only complaints about this fun game is the fact that you never know when it will load and there is now competing without internet. It would be nice to play the computer at least.
