Reviews
Frustrating !!!

The only thing going for this app are the graphics. The gameplay and the vague instructions make it a disappointment. No need to reinvent the wheel. There are many pool games that have been around for a long time just make your control options have a couple options.
Horrible control

Really hard to aim, control was horrible, graphic is awesome, I will give u five star only if u fix the control!
Awesome graphics, horrible controls.

This is a beautiful looking simulator and has lots of potential. That said the gameplay is very difficult to control. On the iPhone and iPad zooming in and out should be done with pinching not with dragging your finger up and down. It is very counterintuitive. On top of that the camera keeps drifting around even when I adjust the angle, very very difficult to control. There are all kinds of things that need to be adjusted in terms of the controls to make this even playable. It is by no means intuitive. Gameplay on Apple TV is similarly difficult. Once these controls are improved and made more intuitive, this could be one of the best pool simulators out there. It has a lot of potential, I will keep watching out for updates. Good start!
Horrible controls
RoscoePete
This app has the worst controls I've ever experienced in a pool app. At this point it's not even worth the $3 charge for the app. To make a suggestion, look at the controls for the Miniclip 8 Ball app. Very smooth for that app.Comparatively the controls sway a bit after your intended aim. I spend more time aiming the cue than in any other point of the game in this app. Another suggestion, I don't need to see where the target ball is going to go, only where the cue ball is going to travel, and maybe in what direction the target ball will go. In this state tho, the app needs an upset and overhaul of the controls. Not touching this app again until I see an update available.

The graphics are amazing, either the reviews are old or people have not figured out the game setting controls. There is a casual setting that makes it much easier to aim although it isn't quite as easy as point and click, still challenging and fun.
Control issues

Have not played this on my phone or iPad, but on my appletv, the game loses input from the touch pad, so you can't place a cue ball or apply english, and exiting the game and reentering doesn't fix it, it will come back when it wants to. Needs fixed! Update: now the game won't even recognize the touch surface of the Siri remote, one star until you repair this! Yes, my remote is fully charged! Yes, I've forced the game to close and restarted the appleTV too, nothing fixes it anymore
Great virtual reality graphics

The only problem is controller support I think that the real controller or the real controller 2 that works with the iPhone camera would be better.
It's pretty sick

At first I couldn't figure out how to switch it out of it playing it self. It's pretty sick. I can't wait to play it in VR.
