I didn't believe the designers of this app took into consideration that this is on a cell phone. So, you lose the match if ya have to answer a call.., that's wrong. Too many loss moments because of the device. Also doesn't play fair. Opponents not lined up sink in the pocket, mine perfectly in line misses or stops right in the edge without falling. Happens too many times. So the game has nothing to do with skill, just what the program decides, and yet you want my money to upgrade.
Im changing my review. I've spent ... probably close to 100 something dollars on this game .. and Everytime I open the app, it gets to the loading screen then just goes back to the home screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and that didn't work. I've tested all my other apps and this is the only one it does it with. so it has to be a big right? help me figure this out.
Overall, it is a great game and plays well. i rated 1 star because no matter what, if you click on your rewards or just 5 game litters the screen with microtransactions. i understand they are optional, but it gets very annoying after every match when i just want to claim my rewards that another pop up for their microtransactions gets in the way.
There's definitely some kind of algorithm at play that ensures you only win when the game wants you to. Most people's win percentages are 50-55%. I'm constantly paired with opponents who run the table, and if I do get a turn I either scratch or miss a shot that was lined up perfectly. Sometimes I'm able to build up a sizeable sum of coins, only to be cleaned out in a matter of minutes because the game sets you up to lose. The game actively works against you to try and force you to spend money.
Fun at first and gives you stuff to work towards but the ranking mismatches are insane. I've played 12 games in a row and 9 were against level 61 or higher. For context, I'm level 12. Then the table would inevitably get ran or I'd get lucky once in a 10 game stretch and win. I don't mind losing but not that often, the game loses its fun at that point. Do better
I play pool on real tables, and movement on the ball in this is impossible for most pros. Luck shots are 90% of the game until you get to calling every pocket, and even then, most of the shots are luck, no skill. The timers are horrible, in a real game of pool I have time to line up my shot, and I don't have the issue of my stick moving if I accidently tap the screen in the wrong spot, costing me the game if I don't have enough time. If you enjoy the game of 8 ball, find a table to play rigged4$
Too many cues. One simple cue with ability to upgrade would be fine. Also the game options for 9-ball is better. You can choose any wager with the option to call the pockets or not. 8 ball games limit you to what they feel is best. Want to play a $5k game and call all shots, nope, not available. But you can with 9 ball. The options should be the same for both tables. Software is horrible can predict with 100% accuracy when cue ball will scratch to give opponent advantage.
This game sets a new record number of pop-ups pushing Micro-transactions. The game itself isn't bad but you literally get a pop up every single time you touch a button. Open the game=3 to 5 popups, open mini game tab=another 3, start a pool match=2-3 more, try to start a second game=another 1-2. I don't mind games having Micro-transactions but these ads make this game miserable to play for more than one or two matches even subscribed to their premium. It's ashame because it could be really good.
Previously I hadn't scored at five stars. But when I signed into the app about 2 to 3 weeks ago I noticed that my coins that I had earned while playing had gone from approx 190,000 to about 10,000.🤬 I contacted the apps development Group in order to get this fixed and yet I have never hear back from them; and the coins that I had earned, which took me quite a while, have still not been returned. I'll change my review once this is fixed. Otherwise I'm done with it!‼️
Horrible. Pop up ads completely destroy the experience. Just trying to get to a table is a minefield of ads & micro transactions. The table physics are off and the cue ball rolls endlessly. They also don't pay out the prizes you're supposed to get for winning. If you do get one then the game crashes when you open a victory box and you lose the rewards inside. Even the mini games are rigged, hit the bullseye on the golden shot and the game crashes and you lose the prize. Greedy developer!
I have played this game before, but took a break because something didn't add up. I'm (now) noticing the same issues. I am buying coins cos it's a fun game, but now this game is just getting greedy. what are easy shots I miss & pot the ball or I would make a shot, giving me another turn but somehow, I have lost my shot because I ran out of time?? I was watching the screen and it didn't even give me my turn. At first I thought I was just imagining it, but I know I think it's part of scam.

These pool cues stick sometimes, won't move when it is your shot. sometimes they go hey wire and there all over the place. yes, I know you can adjust them. Fix the problem. I was just playing a game I had a choice of solid or stripe, so I took solid, made my shot didn't scratch and it went back to her, so I left fix this.🤬🤬🤬
the network requirements of this game require a constant connection. if you drop off line for just a half a millisecond, you may lose your turn in a pool game. because it started raining out, I lost my cellular coverage and lost a hundred thousand dollars. I will no longer be investing any money whatsoever into this game. please fix this.
when you're playing with random people, it works well enough. when you try to play with someone specific, good luck cause I've been trying all day and it does not work. made a friend in-game and we've been trading "challenges", but only 2 have done anything and i got tired of watching it spin for over 10 minutes each time. please fix the friend challenges feature, i want to play with my new friend.
This game app, 8 Ball, is outstanding when it works, but it does not start many times, giving me a reason to uninstall and give my time to a different pool app. I restarted the phone and app, cleared the cache, cleared data, forced stop, and looked at videos of others with the same issues to help restart the game, but it remained frozen. Why does this app have so many problems as of late, I have the latest update, but it's still pushing me toward uninstalling and using another pool app., help.
I have played many different billiards games. In my opinion 8 Ball Pool is the best. Game play is easy to navigate and customize. Games are played with real people from all around the world. Free play has amazing benefits and ways to rank up. The paid Pool Pass is not expensive and offers even more amazing benefits. I have been playing this game regularly for a few years now and can't find anything negative to say about this app. Download now and rack em' up!
The last two games I witnessed one game freezing up when it was my shot unfreeze when it was his, the next game near the end I shot my last stripped ball, it was a perfect shot nothing even close to it to be a bad hit but he gets ball in hand and put the eight ball in. I am not mistaken about this. These cheats like causing connection problem or conveniently freezing only on your turn are going to have to stop...I am aware of how when and why so please take care of it. Thank You
no fun losing to a non-human program who rarely misses. win a couple in the beginning . but after you get a few cities to play in they start giving you what appears to be a person but I've played pool for a lot of years. I can tell if I'm playing with a real person or a bot/program/ algorithm . sorry I can't play wen my blood pressure is through the roof👎
Was fun for a couple of weeks. The game lets you win some at first, however if you don't buy anything, watch out. Your opponents will rarely miss shots. The lower ranked players will break and run often. Sometimes very oblique angles, almost impossible shots go straight in. They rarely scratch, but you hit a soft shot and your cue ball seems to roll and roll, usually into a pocket, or you get hooked badly. In 2 days I went from 280k coins to less than 10k. Very odd. Real players or computer?
Played this game for quite a while few months back and gameplay is good.But when I started playing it again,it looks rigged.We earn coins by winning multiple games to play higher levels and then play a game there and boom,we lose everything.The more we play the game, the more losses we get and it feels very intentional, especially the position where cue ball ends up after playing the shot making it impossible to make next shot.500 letter review is insufficient to mention many such points here.
