It's not a bad game, but a bit bland. the power and spin is inconsistent. there's plenty of times I've swiped left and the ball curved right, and had three shots back to back with the same stroke of the finger that had drastically different power. An in game progression would be nice as well. like some balls or pins that you could unlock without paying for them. not saying remove the cash shop, (I know that's needed for a free game) but some sort of progression would help with player retention.

The game is excellent. Graphics and physics modeling are very good, the sound (when working, don't use 3rd party EQ) sets a great ambience. The variety of gameplay options keeps the game from getting too old too soon. 👍 Edit: ball through pin bug fixed, at the cost of excessively dancing pins (whatever, it works). Audio still doesn't play nice with EQ, reminiscent of Atari Breakout.

Best bowling game I've ever played. Tons of modes. Once I saw candlepin I was sold. Coming from New England you just can't find that anywhere. Awesome game all around. My only complaint is that I can't turn off replays. I'd pay for that option. Otherwise it's more realistic than most bowling games. UPDATE hate to do it but had to lower my review by one star. The game has been updated so that you have to sit and stare at wobbling pins for like 5 seconds. You can't skip it. :( decreases enjoyment.

TRULY THE BEST BOWLING GAME ON ANDROID! I put in many, many, many hours in PBA bowling a couple years ago. 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. Installed every other bowling game on the play store. They all suck. This a very "no-frills" bowling game but that is its second biggest asset. First biggest asset is the controls. Simple and realistic but hard to master. Also, no freakin' spinning your ball after you let go. Pin reaction also seems very realistic. Give this game some love people, you won't be disappointed. The ads in this game are also very unobtrusive. A constant banner ad at the top 1/8th of the screen. PLEASE FIX Pro Shop no ads option. I could buy balls but No Ads comes up with Google Play error "DF-AA-20". I want to give you my $12.00! Also, maybe add atleast simple canned responses for multiplayer, that would be HUGE!

Amazing bowling game. The best I've played by far. The dev isn't greedy at all...can play several games without ads popping up, then ads can be cleared within seconds....for that reason alone, I'll purchase packs to show my support for this game and the devs. Probably 5 minutes of play for every 5 seconds of ads. Absolute best play duration per ad I've seen on Google games.

I think this is basically a decent game. My experience with ball control, speed, and graphics has been excellent. You will, however, see WAY MORE in the pocket splits of all types (some are inexplicably weird) than you would ever see in real life... sometimes three or four a game. If anything, this will ultimately cause me to uninstall if not fixed.

Boring and rather dull. And a very obnoxious ad constantly at the top of the screen is way to much. I can understand having an ad at the end of each game but not constantly.

I think as far as a bowling game goes it's pretty neat. One thing that must be changed is your out-of-pocket cost for different balls. Add other alleys the graphics are great most likely will uninstall because of your out-of-pocket course which I think are ridiculous. Other games in the Play Store usually do not charge for the bowling balls.

This game is great. the thing i like the most is that it allows you different players by letting you solo your game and at the end of your rounds it compares your scores to see the winning score. with other games you have to have player one go and wait for players two to go . that could take a while. as player one you get to go as fast as you want and submit your score and go on to a new challenger. it will post your scores and give you your rewards along with letting you post your winnings. the game lets you have different levels of competing as well. there is beginners, intermediate, competition level with different winnings amounts. so if your up for a money making challenge and are good at the game you can easily move up forward to your level not wait to go each level step by step. great game! A must play game, very good!

I don't understand why the game just randomly forfeits "me" when I am clearly in the lead on online mode. This occurs at least 10-20% of the games I play. 6/21: I really do not like the new camera view during my turns with the latest update. It zooms in as the ball approaches the pins. This doesn't give me any good perspective of my ball roll. Just keep the views from the foul line on the real time shots and zoom in on the replays (only). The ball control response seem realistic.

Pretty good bowling game. Physics are mostly solid though the fact the other bowling styles use the ten pin physics is a little iffy, but it works. Weird bug though every once in a while the sound becomes distorted with long echoes. Only way to fix each time is to turn the phone off for a while but it always comes back.

Controls: When I do a straight ball, it sometimes hooks to the right, dealing a little to no pins hit. Design: Perfect design. A classic, bowling game. Perfect recreation of lanes, perfect physics. Overall: 4/5 stars; just needs a little bit of work to the controls. Probably just my fat fingers, but eh. Good game. 👌

Good game play after last update. Great control and realism. Not a dig on the game, but when playing online vs an opponent, when you show up with a 256 average, most people just forfeit instead of playing. It's a shame since I enjoy competition.. Edit... In online play, if my average is 276 and I roll a 278, how does my average drop to 268..? Math don't work that way....

Edit 5/19/22 - No word from developers, and purchases have disappeared from app on all devices. WILL NOT re-purchase add-ons, as I have proof of purchase on all add-ons. Abandonware? (1 1/2 years since last update.) Edit 5/15/22 - As of this morning, all my purchases have disappeared, and there's no option to restore purchases. Edit 1/11 - Still crashing upon open lately (Android OS 8.1) Update 1/28 - Still crashing and no word from the developers.

This is the most addicting phone game I have ever played. I have been playing it nonstop ever since I downloaded it and I am having tons of fun with all of the different challenge modes. The game controls great compared to all of the other bowling games I've tried and the fact that it is more than ten pin bowling, is amazing. 5 stars. Hands down my favorite phone game. Wish I found it sooner. Keep up the great work!😁

I'm trying this again, 4 years after my first review. I'm glad to see that you can now skip each shot's replay by tapping the screen (tho it'd be even better to be able to turn it off). However, I'm still baffled how you're supposed to put spin on the ball. You'd think you'd just move your finger in a quick arc, imitating the motion you'd make with a real ball, but that seems to have no effect. Maybe I'm missing something.

I love this bowling game as U can play on your own or U can play with a friend in a doubles game. I mostly play 3 games with 10 frames per game,& U can keep a record of each game & running total 4the 3 games. If i don't have much data, or credit I am still able to play offline, If you need to stop playing U r able to stop & save the game & resume from where you left it. If U get 3 Xx in a row it goes in tally where U collect all different things like gutter balls. 10 🌟 I would like 2gve

I enjoy this game and play it a lot. the only problem is that the ball packs in the store have a different performance than the house balls. The ball packs curve a little less, they leave pins when they shouldn't, and they have overall confusing physical properties. If the ball packs can be made to perform like the house balls that would make this an even better game.

This games the best but only 4 stars because of some things that just dont occur in real life such as leaving the 5-7-10. Get real guys. And how about the splits? Yesterday in one game I had 7 splits. And lastly why are there so many times when 2 pin spares, ie.1-3, or 5-9, 6-8, etc....result in one pin being chopped off by the ball and giving me an open frame? Other than that the game is fabulous. It just looks like the game was built by someone or persons who've never really played. Fix it.

Great game. However, I tried to play it today(candlepin game mode) and whenever I throw my 1st ball, everything is fine. But when I try to throw my 2nd and 3rd ball, a full rack of pins shows back up and I can hit where the pins were that were left standing and it says I didn't hit anything. All other game modes seem fin though. This really drives me crazy as this is one of my favorite games to pass the time as I am a candlepin bowler in real life. When this is fixed, I will change my rating.
