The game's graphics are generally praised for being good to great, with many users appreciating the visuals, realistic physics, and smooth animations, especially on non-Switch platforms.

- “Great graphics, physics, nice lane design, great music loop.”
- “Good graphics and you actually are challenged to be able to score high under the curve factor, which I liked.”

The monetization in this game is heavily criticized due to frequent and intrusive ads, including issues with paid no-ad options not working, causing lag and disrupting gameplay. While some players appreciate unobtrusive ads and support in-app purchases, many express frustration over excessive ads and poor implementation, suggesting a need for a more player-friendly balance and reliable no-ad purchase options.
- “No ads.”
- “The only reason I gave 3 stars is because the ball packs require payment; it would be great if at least two of the packs were free for players to choose from. Also, please offer a no ads option around $3.50 or limit ads to one every 2 games.”
- “Please fix the pro shop no ads option.”
- “Tried playing again recently and I see ads even though I paid to get rid of them, even emailed support and it's just the way it is now.”
- “Unfortunately, I've had to edit this review as I recently lost all my game data and lost the no-ad version of the game and the ads are back.”
- “Too many ads... it seems like we have to install just to watch ads itself.. apart from this everything is good.”

Users have mixed feelings about the music: some appreciate the catchy loop, while others want the option to disable all in-game sounds to listen to their own music. The lack of separate controls for music and sound effects is a common frustration. Overall, the music is enjoyable but limited by repetitive loops and insufficient sound customization options.
- “Great graphics, physics, nice lane design, and great music loop.”
- “Very addictive; tried other games but this is simple and easy to use. Other games focus on graphics and music, but this is just pure bowling pleasure.”

- “Same 2 bars of music over and over.”

- “Game freezes, skips, and just shuts off every time I try to play it.”
- “The ball freezes when you begin to release it and the game freezes up constantly before bowling and at the point of releasing the ball. Please fix this problem, otherwise this is a wonderful game to help with your bowling skills.”
- “Love the game of bowling but this game is frustrating as it freezes up all the time even before I throw the ball and after. It pops back and forth from bowling to pro shop. Who can bowl under these conditions?”
