While most users find the visuals immersive and aesthetically pleasing, a few mention occasional issues with camera angles, interfering graphics, or minor glitches.

    • “The graphics put you behind the shot so that it feels real.”
    • “Great game, very nice graphics, probably the most accurate pool game I've played in comparison to playing real pool at a pool hall, especially for bank shots, draw shots, and follow shots.”
    • “I play on Android, and there are graphics that interfere with your eight ball shot every game you play.”
    • “The table interface was crude (not finessed), the action was slow and the camera didn't focus on the correct balls (I'm not sure they have the graphics for a ball falling into a pocket! It was never shown).”
    • “The graphics are mediocre and the game is not nearly as smooth as it should be on the S22 Ultra, one of the most powerful phones available.”
  • monetization
    138 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Monetization in this pool game is heavily centered around frequent, often lengthy and intrusive ads, which significantly disrupt gameplay and frustrate users. While some appreciate the option to buy an ad-free experience at a fair price, many report ads are excessive, broken, or fail to deliver promised rewards, detracting from overall enjoyment. The prevalent ads and microtransactions create a pay-to-progress feel, causing dissatisfaction despite the game's fun mechanics.

    • “Even the in-app purchases are fair and not outrageous like many other games!”
    • “I do recommend if you are going to continue playing a lot to go ahead and pay for no ads; it's definitely worth it.”
    • “Even though there are in-app purchases, I don't think it's pay to play.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and accurate, but the ads take away from the game way too much.”
    • “Removing 2 stars now because sometimes I watch ads to get extra gifts, and many times, after watching a long ad, it gives an error message saying 'something went wrong...' and you don't get any of the gifts.”
    • “To upgrade anything you would have to watch ads for weeks on end and some of the ads you can't even end, you have to restart the game to get out of the ad.”
  • gameplay
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Realistic gameplay with lots of extras that make the game interesting.”
    • “Gameplay is fantastic and smooth.”

    • “Slow gameplay, stupid AI, chest loot boxes, forced multiplayer.”
  • stability
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report frequent stability issues with the game, including freezes, glitches during tournaments, and unexpected kicks that cause loss of progress and points. These problems often disrupt gameplay, affect shot accuracy, and lead to frustration, with some players uninstalling the game due to persistent bugs. Additionally, glitches impact in-game purchases and customer support access, significantly undermining the overall experience.

    • “In weekly tournament matches, the game glitches and kicks you out in the middle of the game, giving you zero points, and you can't rejoin like in other games.”
    • “The game constantly freezes and kicks you out, wasting your power-ups, which you earn slowly or have to buy.”
    • “After paying to join a tournament, the game will just freeze frequently.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the in-game music restrictive, expressing frustration over the inability to play their own music while gaming and wanting an option to mute or customize sounds. Suggestions include adding a jukebox feature to purchase and play different tracks for a more enjoyable, bar-themed atmosphere. Overall, the music aspect is seen as limiting and could benefit from more player control and variety.

    • “Loves it! The game should add music features like a mix or jukebox where you can buy songs with coins, darts, or video poker. It would be way more fun and add a bar theme, making the game even more enjoyable.”
    • “Good game, but I wish you could turn off at least the music.”
    • “It's always been a bit wonky with my music and books, even when I mute the sounds.”
    • “It's always been a bit wonky with my music and books even when I mute the sounds.”

  • humor
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Having to pay to recharge the already inaccurate pro camera is also hilarious.”

  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is considered excessively time-consuming and tedious, with players needing to invest long hours to earn small rewards. The chest-opening and card-collecting mechanics add to the slow progression, making the unlock timers feel prolonged despite the overall enjoyable gameplay.

    • “The process of opening chests and collecting the cards is unnecessarily tedious.”
    • “The game is too grindy and the silver unlock timer is too long, making progress frustrating.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the game elicits strong reactions but could improve user experience to enhance emotional satisfaction.

    • “Another trick designed to illicit the player to spend money due to an emotional response.”
