------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
I've always loved pool, and when I got my first iPhone years ago, the world of digital pool games opened up to me.
There are certainly a lot of options out there, but finding a simple and enjoyable single-player pool game was harder than I expected. I found one that I enjoyed, but after playing it extensively I found it too easy to beat the computer every time. Suddenly the problem with pool hit me — when you play against a computer in a physics simulation, you're literally playing against a god... By which I mean, either the computer is going easy on you (for a reason), or it's playing a perfect game and taking all your money.
It dawned on me that if I wanted a good single player pool game, I'd have to make a new kind of pool — a variant that doesn't need a computer opponent, that's built around the notion of scoring and improving, of taking risks, and of presenting unique and interesting challenges.
Pocket-Run Pool is the game I came up with, I hope you enjoy it!

Fun game with some technical problems
Rootfindr
I love playing this game but it crashes a lot after an ad plays.
Great game
Km5
Love it. Except game auto shuts down when I try to join the top tournament button. Also plays an ad every round and says it will be 3 rounds. Despite this I still like it.
Fundamentally Broken
DigitalEl
Despite a handful of recent updates, this game is broken. Physics glitches and gameplay bugs abound. Seems the developer of this fun game has moved on.
Fun game, but buggy
Chasegd
The game will get stuck in the middle of a match and the is no way to get it to clear. I won’t be able to play that mode without reinstalling the app altogether.
App crashed on iPhone 11 after updating yesterday

Please fix it. I try to deleted and downloaded many times and also restart my phone, but the result was just the same.
I'd give it 5 stars if not for the type of ad support
Spainyc
I understand the need to annoy users with ads every two games (or every game if you quit one). You have to make money, and that's OK. But allowing those ads to start with sound, is just crossing the line. When these types of games are played in the middle of boring meetings, ads with sound are despicable and make you delete the app and hate the developer
Biggie
whut kind of games you playing
I downloaded the game payed 3$ to get rid of the ads then it died on me. Downloaded the game again did the same thing
Well. The price is right

App crashes every time after playing an ad. Enter a tournament, it takes your chips, forces an ad and crashes, leaving you poorer and stupider for retrying to run this poorly coded app more than twice.
