We play ts all day yo this is the game it's elite no match for it no wifi needed yes ads after every game but you can just go in airplane mode you can listen to music while playing too very fun you have the option to turn off the sounds and change the color of the pool table.
Love to play pool it was hard at first but now Im a pro.
We like the game so much we keep winning this game is the best pool game ever writed by @Jachin2020.
Please update. Fun game but keeps freezing up.
Enjoyable game cant stop playing.
Excellent game how you can play it on phone as well as on the iPad Air is definitely a Good Game for all ages too !Toini.
Wish there were less ads ruins the fun.
In our opinion this is a grate pool game o think everybody should play it and we would recommend it.
This game is so good!! Its so perfect for practicing playing 8ball for game pigeon and we love how you can choose different levels. And this app also has soo little ads unlike other games! Def recommend.
Please update and add sensitivity level percent to 100 in settings thanks.
But its ok bc when playing against the phone you can disrupt its shot with your finger.
Good graphics,accurate aim and fun!,,.

Simple awesome game of pool. Great job guys.
We think this game is pretty good there is no bugs and we think beginners would really like this because we feel like its got a good match for beginners because you can play with bots. They give you an option for beginner, normal and hard and we really recommend it if youre wanting to get into 8 ball pool.
This is a great game to sit back and play 8-Ball. Granted, we always play the Beginner level but we might bump up later. Want a freebie with good graphics and good gameplay? This is for you.
The line guides are difficult to keep stable.
This game is really good and everybody should try it.
This is a fun great app. We would easily pay $3 to $5, just to have a fun app for shooting pool. It works great on an iPad Pro.
This game is so fun we really like it its so satisfying.
We really like this game because the beginner is a really good start off and the level hard it takes some time to get used to but over time it eventually gets easier and easier to beat and thats what we like in a game and we looked at other games, and this one was just the best choice to get it close to how it would be in real life and the other pool games that we saw were not really what we were looking for. We were looking for one of those classic games that you can play with other people but its not like like a confusing game to try and play with them we also like this game because you never really get bored of the online pool game but sometimes when you play actual pool, and you might get a little bored from it but this one online you keep you entertained while youre playing.
When at the doctor's office with nothing but "The View" on the TV; when your flight has been delayed another 2 hours; or you need to decompress and relax before that important interview, this 8 Ball game punches the ticket! It keeps your mind active enough so it doesn't go numb, but it also keeps you relaxed. It is free, so try it and see if we are right. ENJOY.
We began playing a few games and the next game we played, the sound stopped. We deleted it and downloaded it 3 more times and still no sound, we wish you would fix it. The game is very good too play.
Best pool game Ive triedalthough we really wish the devs would update it to fix what are likely compatibility issues with MacOS since their last update of 4 years ago. Otherwise Id give it 5 stars.
This is by no means the most functional billiards game on the app store. First of all, the guidelines (the highlighted lines that show you what angle the ball will travel after a shot) are completely inaccurate. We find ourselves trying to depend on them, but theyre always off and they let us down. The touch controls are also very sensitive, so getting the perfect angle on a shot is difficult. Overall, aiming the cue is the least enjoyable part of this game which is unfortunate, considering that this is a billiards game, and that is all of the input you can give. BUT aside from all of these issues, this is still the best billiards app on the app store. No ads interrupt your game, no cosmetics or microtransactions to buy, and the game is only a couple of megabytes in size. We mean, why are all of the other pool games nearly half a gigabyte? They take up so much space for no reason. We dont want to delete our precious family photos to download a pool app. The AI is also very challenging which makes the experience more enjoyable. This game is all that it needs to be, all that you want it to be, and its the best billiards game we can find on the app store. 4 stars, though Id make it 5 stars if the issues were fixed. Thank you for this simple billiards game! (:.
Great app Love the pass and play feature.
Could have added more like choosing what pocket youre going to make the 8 ball in.
If the game followed the rules of 8 Ball, we would have given it five stars.
This is a fun way to practice your shots and/or play with a friend. We have two issues with the app why are why we gave 4 stars and not 5. The first is that you have to be really careful to make sure you hit pause because if it gets touched or moved or anything, it completely resets the game. The second thing is when we play in normal mode the computer does a good job getting shots against us. Then all the sudden it doesnt. It feels like a five year old stepped in for a few minutes to make really bad, not realistic shots. So we wonder if its just letting us win.
There is a lack of consistency in the way the balls roll. One time its too hard next time too soft.
The game freezes for about 3 seconds after just about every turn, rendering the screen useless. Also the computer does not move the ball when black is hit, white is potted, etc.
So we were playing the game but then it restarts us and it is annoying but other than that we love the game.
Pretty good game with the exception of this serious defect in logic. It also fails against the computer, so sometimes you win because of it. (No fun) It's random, there isn't a single use case where it happens. We just had a perfect setup to run the table, sinking two of our balls in the corner pocket & leaving ourselves open to close out the rest. But even though there were no opponent's balls anywhere near our shot, we lost our turn to this defect. Also misuses the term "potted" for "scratched." Potted is good, scratched is not.
We had to delete because app kept freezing.
Graphics are meh, the physics are kinda janky, overall just exponentially mid.
Love the fact theres not many adds! Wish the aim was not so touchy.
We played it once and was able to change the ball colors to yellow and red we think instead of the normal stripes vs solids and then we deleted the app because we wasnt able to change them back. Now Im stuck with the stripes and solids and want the other color choices back, but we are unable to change them or figure out to. Im not sure if it was a random glitch or something but we havent been able to find that setting to change the colors ever since, only the table color.
Super fun to play but it can get laggy (freezes up when youre aiming for up to 5 seconds) and the levels arent super accurate.
It is a good game overall, but we are not sure if the developers intentionally plugged in cheats in the code. After having played a while, we realized that the gameplay is a bit predictable. When you play against the phone, it feels as though you are playing a scripted game in which the winner is predetermined based on the winning averages. For example, you can make two shots from the same spot, at the same speed and spin, and you get different game response. This kind of kills off the mood as you start the feel like the AI is messing with you by changing the game response to manipulate the natural flow of the game.
Aiming cue stick is way too touchy.
The aim and ball action isnt the same as real pool.
Besides being free its ok at best. Want really cool pool? Pay for it.
The title is about the fact that nobody else doing this needs to know the percentage of their losses, since once you have lost one game it does not matter if you win the next 300 your percentage will look bad and every time the game is over you get your nose rubbed in it. The other difficulty is that we often sink a solid AND a stripe on the break. We should get to pick which we would prefer to chase but we do not get to shoot next !! If we sink the Eight Ball on the break, do we win the game ? Finally we hope you can develop 9 Ball and/or Snooker as well as this one. Thanks, J. D. R.
We play this a lot and enjoy it. A couple of things. We cant play Spotify/music and it delays a lot. Its like the graphics takes a bit to caught up. We would like the option to turn the sound off and not the volume all the way down.
The game is fun to play but we cant find the rules anywhere. Slop shots are accepted and when we put a stripe and a solid in on the break we have never heard of it then being the opponents turn. If youre looking for regulation style play, this aint it.
This game has dead rails.and does not see shots made.Good graphics but you cant put English on your ball while computer has good English on the ball and who every made this game has never player at a high level of pool you cant make a 4 rail shot.
The computer obviously doesnt know actual 8 ball rules. Computer player just takes over when it wants to. We guess thats what you get for totally free.
Wish we could just line it up and stop it, but when we lift our finger it moves. We spend most of the time trying to get it lined up and stay to shoot. The cue stick moves way too much.
