reviews
Been playing this game for a long time now but i have a few problem. The screen gets stuck a lot before and/or after playing an ad. I already tried uninstalling it then reinstall but the problem stays the same. What i do to continue playing is close the app when it gets stuck then just open it again. Another thing, I hope there would be a penalty for players who makes an intentional foul just so they can be in a nice position in the game. It sucks. Players like that dont deserve to win. Thanks.

The game itself is decent. But there's just way too many pop up ads or prompts asking you to buy things. Way too aggressive. Greed isn't good. I spend most of my time closing pop ups than I do playing the game itself. Secondly, people cheat by not taking their turn when they know they're in difficult situations, which is infuriating. Also, not liking the new UI on the user profile stats. Looks too busy and complicated. Was a lot easier on the eye before. Honestly, just keep it simple.

Great at first but now its bugged. While playing it backs me out because of slow connection. When it brings me back into game I am out of time and lose a turn. It even does it after making a shot, forcing me to shoot again and time runs out before I can even try again. This bug has cost me so much in coins that it's not even worth playing anymore.

How is it that you have to wait for your opponents response when it's your turn to shoot? That is ridiculous! I should not have to wait on opponent to ok my next shot. I've had multiple good runs while playing and game freezes up. So IDK If it's a cheat or not but it's wrong and you lose your momentum. When game does come back up you lose your turn because you run out of time. Needs fixed and does anyone even look or respond to the reviews? I posted this months ago.

This game can be lot of fun if it wasn't for the cheating going on in it! Two many smaller numbers all of sudden has more experience then the bigger numbers!!! I can't win the bigger games and I am more then a average player but, I can't beat a computer. That already has the edge of how to win! It sucks!! I know when I am playing a computer by the their hit actual! I am getting tired of always losing! Even when I fall back to the lower games you still have to mess it up for me!

I spend more time than I should on this game. It was more fun at first. I don't understand why it says it's free because it's not, the very basics are, and the higher level you get the more the entry fees are, but the free coins is just 50. The cues are so overrated, and the upgrade prices are, too. You might get them unlocked, and be able to use them again, but not like you need to. The win and spin game is rigged, I never get over $250 coins. The gold shot has a glitch.

My name suddenly changed in the game. Can't find support. The gameplay is good, although every shot you make is on a 12sec timer, even when playing in offline mode vs yourself! When you log in there are tons of popups about friends and other people to click through. One of my biggest problems for years is that after EVERY game, it sets you on the highest stage it can, even if all your chips would be at risk there. It's a long scroll back even if you dont misclick and lose all your chips.

I like the game, but when I've finished my shot and next thing the game switches back and my shot was not counted and I loose the game which happens on a regular occurrence im totally frustrated, the amount of times you play the computer hoping it's another person and the computer's shots are perfect every time, that's frustrating as well. When your 0laying an opponent and they are playing for sheep stations instead of enjoying the fact that it's a game to enjoy and have fun with annoys me also
noname282211, the 29/05/2022

The game is good and fun to play, but the issue I have is it just becomes luck based in later stages, unless you can read a bounce off three different walls. If someone has a good initial hit or you have a bad one you've already lost and you end up losing many games in a row and most of your coins if you play pricy games. Mind you I'm fairly decent at this, it just doesn't matter if someone basically has their pots lined up for them everytime.

The app is good, but it changed my country without notice, and at the same time, I can't change it back to the my original. Furthermore, too many pop-up notifications, smthng like "someone challenges you" or big screen news about upcoming tournaments, all of this really annoying. Please fix that issues. If there were no of these issues I would put all 5 stars.

Too many ads.. Deleting this game because of it... Previously they used to show ads for 5 secs, then the skip button used to appear, after skipping another page would show up and the close option would display after 5 secs, after closing it another page would show up and again needed to wait for 5 secs. Now they have added 30 secs ads starightaway.. no skip option as well.. Great way to go Miniclip.....????????????

There's no system to your oppents skill level.. you can be a level 50 shooting against a level 179. The way the speed is when hitting the cue is unreliable. I've hit the cue to the 1st line which should be a soft roll, which isn't the case the cue will strike the ball and roll clear down the table and vice versa. This is very frustrating.

The in app purchases fluctuate a lot, and the prices change a lot. Very very expensive regular game currency purchase options to persuade you to be impulsively attracted to the promotion deals, which are very expensive. Usually containing a cue; cue upgrade pieces; cash; coin;special chance item tickets to play chance games for prizes; and sometimes - but not always - VIP points for VIP lvl upgrading - which VIP adds a multiplier to in game earings stats, and purchases cash coin vip purchases. Cues often require several upgrades still, and more promotional bundles need to be purchased to max ques out - which also come with extras besides upgrade pieces. It can cost $100 to buy a cue and max it out. Game Play: Servers time out very frequently and cause force reconnects that can cause your turn time to elapse and even lose crucial games with progressive free ward missions to reset, or worse, you lose a massive entry fee. And it always seems to happen on winning shots, or during a hot streak. For these reasons I give 3★. Everything else is a Fun game to play. Worth the download for free. ????????????????

Definitely an algorithm with fake profiles at play here, you go through periods where you are winning games then go through periods where no matter what you always lose, opponents pulling of amazing shots, their cue ball always ending up in just the right spot, your shots missing when the shouldn't, your cue ball going in a way different angle than indicated and sinking. Wish there was a zero star rating available

Don't bother. It's good until about level 15. Once you hit about 100000 coins, you'll start losing easily to "guest" players at level 2. And if the opponent has the pass, you won't win. The pass grants you high level items and makes winning games against pass holders nearly impossible. The guide lines also make it too easy most of the time. It's designed to get you addicted and spend real money. Like real gambling.
noname298652, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game to play if you've got nothing else to do, but the game constantly gives you pop ups for non essential in app purchases after games, whilst collecting rewards and everywhere inbetween. The frequency of said pop ups, is rather infuriating. Also, in game notifications are equally annoying and often come at the wrong times, usually mid match. Not too mention the fact that if you want extra rewards you gotta watch advertisements. Other than that? It's alright.
noname985993, the 29/05/2022

I really like the game. But you all have to fix whatever is making me have to reconnect to keep the game play from being jerky. And then when it does reconnect, I'll take my shot and then the game will reset like I ran out of time and take away the last shot made. And give the turn to the opponent. It is so frustrating to lose a game over that.
noname843545, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Either this game has some serious bugs or the game can be easily hacked. While playing, the time ends completely for the other player yet they still get a shot 10sec after. Then again, my opponent chooses the wrong pocket their connection gets slow all of a sudden then mines gets slow and reconnects and you find that they've taken the shot from a totally different direction. This has happened to me more than I can count. I'm done. If I could've given a 0 rating I would have.

first games were great and i had really liked the game, but now 90 percent of my opponents are hacker/bots/someone dumped a lot of money in the game. it's clear that some of them has this long line that shows where the ball will go, and some of them just hit and it goes right into the pocket. the balls are going strange ways which is physically impossible. and the game gives many advantages to the player who has a payed cue. it's ridiculous, i wish you'd fix these issues, Miniclip.

It has some flaws. I think the sound effects are good. The visual effects are good. the overall feel of the gameplay is good. I don't like some of the things that get in the way like "your solids" or "your stripes" or the pool cue on the left side of the screen that occasionally gets in the way when you take a shot when you're trying to aim. I like that you're able to play by yourself - a timed rapid shot game or a regular game of 8 ball.

It's actually a fun game, and you can keep a fast pace which I like. Progression is fair even without spending money. When playing the spin game especially, it always lands on low amount. Never once has it landed on a box. So except for spending up the box opening time, and maybe a few other small benefits, I don't see any reason to waste your money n

Lost most of my winnings in a glitch. Very frustrating. I perceive "developement" as improvement, this game is an example of contrary experience. I like how if there is an issue they put the responsibility on the user to "contact" them. We are not really here for comunication but for a fun retreat. It was lots of fun! Still kind of addictive if you love shooting pool ;)

Fun game play and very satisfying to play with friends. Unfortunately hindered by all of the micro transactions, they are extremely overwhelming. I end up spending about 5 minutes whenever I boot up the game just trying to navigate through pop ups just to play the game. Played for a few days and don't see myself playing too much more because of the pop ups and xp bars and tokens and opportunities to gamble. Anti-consumer and frustrating.
noname850786, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Hmmm.... I've been monitoring this app and its algorithms throughout the last couple of years. It appears that unless you spend money, you may well be successful but only to a degree. I have just seen my cue ball deviate drastically to end up in the pocket ensuring my opponent won. Quite sneaky really but it is a money-making app so could anyone expect any more?! Disappointed. Enjoyable game though. Just don't expect the stars if you have bills to pay instead of on this app.
noname560214, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
This game is rigged. The spin 99 out of 100 times it lands on 150. Support tries to say they dont interfer with the games but this is not true. If a player has a pool pass your chances of winning are rare. Balls bounce off invisible walls. Some players have their time bar reset several times in one shot. This game has a lot of issues and really has stopped being fun. It gets 1 star since i cant go lower.
noname65403, the 29/05/2022

The game is running some kind of scheme to where you could spin a wheel but not spin it but by "clicking" to spin the wheel, which obviously is a scam. And just so you know the laws of physics don't applied here so don't go around thinking this is some kind of real life 8 pool where everything is accurately done. For example, at the start you will begin hitting all the connected ball of a V shape but no matter how many times you hit the same way the outcome will be different. It's hilarious
noname18299, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Ok.. what is it exactly that I like about the game? I like playing pool. I always have. It is the challenge that I like, but there's too many times for the coins or account to get wiped out. And an advertisement pops right at the same time. There's no way that I have been playing real human beings. It's just that everything points towards money. I see programmer's creating a game, and demanding money for the work put in??? It's just that everything in the game is beyond chance.
noname420299, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Very good game, but once you reach someone who is cheating, it is impossible. The ball stops mid shot, every shot never misses. Can you have some type of report button, or something of the sort? Other wise one simple code can screw the entire game for everyone, I lost 30 grand to someone who was obviously cheating, and my only option is to friend them? Add this mechanic, or be better at ridding your game of cheaters.
noname53695, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Game mechanics and cue ball control are completely unrealistic. Game defies the laws of physics. Every time I play the game I feel the need to hurt myself and I delete it. The competitive pool player in me wants it to be a good game so badly that I've come back several times, just to again be disappointed. My win percentage is great, and the game is stupid. Not worth the aggravation.

very entertaining, enjoyable and I have met some awesome people from all over the world. Graphics are good, haven't had many problems with the games and I've been playing for a while now. Competition is very competitive and makes the games even more Interesting, you miss a shot and usually...game over. I enjoy the contests as well as the games, they are forever changing to keep it interesting at all levels! Well Played ")

________________________________________________
The Spin and Win minigame is 100% rigged. There should be no reason why EVERY time I'm only getting 150 coins or 250 coins each spin. I can NEVER get anything higher. The match ups are terrible. You could be paired against someone with an extremely high level cute. Personally I have no problem with it because I still beat most of them. But it's just such a hassle.
noname153191, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
8 pool really NEEDS to come up with a new reward system. If a opponent wins a game without the other player getting a chance to have their turn, then the loser should atleast get some sort of cash back, because I have lost count of how many times I have lost games without even having a turn, it's more frustrating when you play for big pots and you lose because the opponent didn't give you a chance to play and sinks all their balls from the start of the game.
noname413430, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Constant pop-ups! I can't play a lot because I start to make a shot and it does a pop-up while I aim causing missed shots. Beyond the need to watch ads and constant begging for money. Not worth it after giving it an honest try. Maybe if they didn't pop-up things while you try to play causing constant missed shots I could forgive the rest.
noname460573, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Love the game but I feel like it's rigged sometimes to where you can do a shot and it works and the same shot another time and scratch. I hate the spin the wheel most because of all the numbers on there you will ever only hit 100, 150, or 200. Why even have higher values on there if you set the computer to hit for the low ones every time it's pointless really just repeat the same low numbers then my opinion
noname304429, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
Awesome gameplay. I like that the directional bar shows which direction your ball is going after striking it but it's very short causing you to have to do some of the aiming yourself. Alot of different tabs to navigate through on the home screen but they are well separated and after clicking on the few that you use on a regular basis you start to remember where things are at quickly. Well-constructed game.
noname520278, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
I like this game a lot, but every now and then new update completely breaks the game down for me to the point of not being even able to go past the first main screen. Game crashes right after the sound before displaying first pop up window. This has happened before on several occasions and now with the latest update I cannot play even one match... really disappointing. Two stars for what could be a five star game.
noname945296, the 29/05/2022
________________________________________________
I'm very disappointed when you make the 8-ball on the break and it resets the 8-ball not giving you the win. Over all a fun game. The game needs fixed, you'll be dominating a game and line up on your shot then all of a sudden your cue does a twirly, then you have to reline up again only to have it do a twirly again on your Cue this will continue until eventually you run out of time and you lose your turn. And your opponent will run the table off. This game 100% cheats.

Hours of entertainment, but you'll have to watch out for the players who are able to move ball's on the table. Plus they are able to switch from solids to strips on you. And one more thing is the game will automatically go from you making every single shot to not winning a easy game. It's going to put on the difficult automatically if you win to many games in a row. Other than that I am a very avid fan of the game.
noname231550, the 29/05/2022

I would have given it 5 stars but when you have 10,000 riding on a tournament, your opponent has 4 balls on the table and your about to make the 8 ball, the games time runs out in the middle of your shot and your opponent wins with 4 balls on the table. It's SOOO unfair that I may uninstall. Not the first time it's happened but it may be the last!

Hello - I took some time to read several reviews. It's important that you know I think you have a very solid game. I struggle when it comes to a couple of issues u003e spinning the wheel does not result in a random outcome and when my opponent can take pretty much as long as he or she chooses before reengaging in the game.* Please specifically address to me * I'll continue to play the game until my intelligence is insulted beyond repair. Be forthcoming

If it wasn't for continual pop up's for in app purchsses after every game and the absolute physics defying angles it's apparently possible to pot a ball from(I've played shots that are completely impossible, yet potted, and had them played against me), the game would be great. Sadly, it's not realistic. Also, I've restarted recently. Why am I contiually being matched with players over 100 levels above me?
noname758601, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
Fun, but cheaters ruin it. I'm level 26 but get paired up with level 170+ players quite often. These players are hitting 2 and 3 rail shots that are near impossible. Their aiming seem to snap into place and put the perfect spin on the ball without adjusting their draw. It's disappointing because I used to really love this game. Won't be spending any money on this game for this reason.

I?ve been playing 8-Ball Pool for a long time and truly enjoy the game. But lately, it's getting frustrating. In higher-stake matches like 30M or 50M, there are too many cheaters and hackers. It ruins the experience for real players. I hope the developers take this seriously and introduce better anti-cheat measures. Otherwise, many of us will lose interest. Please fix this?it used to be a great game!

I have played this game before, but took a break because something didn't add up. I'm (now) noticing the same issues. I am buying coins cos it's a fun game, but now this game is just getting greedy. what are easy shots I miss u0026 pot the ball or I would make a shot, giving me another turn but somehow, I have lost my shot because I ran out of time?? I was watching the screen and it didn't even give me my turn. At first I thought I was just imagining it, but I know I think it's part of scam.
noname48212, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
Overall, it is a great game and plays well. i rated 1 star because no matter what, if you click on your rewards or just 5 game litters the screen with microtransactions. i understand they are optional, but it gets very annoying after every match when i just want to claim my rewards that another pop up for their microtransactions gets in the way.
noname988609, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
I'm giving 1 star not because of the game, 'cause it's great, but since I changed my phone, whenever I enter the game, it crashes and goes back to home. I've even quit the beta program thinking it was that, but it wasn't; same problem. I've been playing this game since 2014, when it was on Facebook, and this is the first time the app ever did that. now I'm without the beta versions and the game, and apparently this has been happening to A LOT of people. I PAID THINGS IN-GAME. PLEASE, FIX IT!!!

Im changing my review. I've spent ... probably close to 100 something dollars on this game .. and Everytime I open the app, it gets to the loading screen then just goes back to the home screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and that didn't work. I've tested all my other apps and this is the only one it does it with. so it has to be a big right? help me figure this out.
noname593308, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
So look, I would have easily without any thought given it 5 stars. It really is fun, not a difficult game and takes minimal storage space. But the reason for 2 less stars, is because it is becoming more and more buggy with every single update. I have lost a total of approximately 12k coins because it would randomly kick me from the match, close the app or like a few times, just for no reason at all, restart the entire game. And it is really frustrating to say the least.
noname54435, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
This matchmaking is absolutely broken. I?ve spent time, bought coins, upgraded my cues, and still I keep getting matched with players way above my level. What?s the point of trying to improve or even spending money on the game if every match feels like I?m being set up to lose? It?s beyond frustrating and completely unfair. Cheaters and unfair play take all the fun out of the game. Tsk!
noname85513, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
There's definitely some kind of algorithm at play that ensures you only win when the game wants you to. Most people's win percentages are 50-55%. I'm constantly paired with opponents who run the table, and if I do get a turn I either scratch or miss a shot that was lined up perfectly. Sometimes I'm able to build up a sizeable sum of coins, only to be cleaned out in a matter of minutes because the game sets you up to lose. The game actively works against you to try and force you to spend money.
noname805523, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
This game is super luck based. Even on more skill based game modes (i.e, having to call which pot you will shoot in) luck is still a major factor at play, to the point it becomes frustrating. There is a layer of skill, yes, but there is no fun to be had, when you are just losing your tokens consistently, because you can't even have a single shot yourself, or your balls positions are absolutely awful, giving you a 0% chance of winning immediately after break.
noname876257, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
I play pool on real tables, and movement on the ball in this is impossible for most pros. Luck shots are 90% of the game until you get to calling every pocket, and even then, most of the shots are luck, no skill. The timers are horrible, in a real game of pool I have time to line up my shot, and I don't have the issue of my stick moving if I accidently tap the screen in the wrong spot, costing me the game if I don't have enough time. If you enjoy the game of 8 ball, find a table to play rigged4$
noname244172, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
I'm so tired of this game. High-level account reset to level 2, every cue I've PAID MONEY for gone AGAIN. This is the second time this game has done this on 2 different accounts. It logs me out, and then when I log back in, my stuff is gone. Absolute joke, especially since Im not being refunded for the amount of money I've spent just for it to be lost. Edit: All well and said, saying email support. I have emailed, and you're ignoring it while now flooding the game with ads.
noname331825, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
This game has a seriously frustrating problem with the No Guideline game mode. No matter when I play it, no matter which option I click on. I always click on the bet 2.5k option or 10k option, and every single time, when the match starts, it switches the bet to 500 or 100 coins.... often multiple times in a row... BEYOND FRUSTRATING. I have to waste 1k-2k coins just to play the match I specifically clicked on.. I often have to click on the 2.5k bet MULTIPLE times like 5-10 times to verify it
noname180899, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
It's okay..... its not always a fair match because you have players buying specialty cues that provide better aim, spins, etc. It'd be much more fun if everyone was evenly matched and you had to go off skill instead of how much you spent but i guess that's every games these days unfortunately! Fun to pass the time at appts though.

"Fun game to play! Highly recommended. From me?" that was my review 4yrs ago but now it gets 4 star. A few times, there's this bug where, if a ball is mere millimeters away from a pocket (so close to it) and you place the cue ball sticking behind it, when you shoot, the cue ball goes through said ball and scratches. Moreover, Hackers... I've reported hundreds of them and still see so much in games. When are you planning to remove them? Don't reply 'contact us...to solve issue,' no. Just Fix It.
noname686175, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
I have been playing this game for many years, and there were some hackers among the players, but now the situation is like there are some players among all these hackers. Also, the game algorithm has been set in a way where if we have won some games and somehow managed to earn some coins, it starts its own game, like the cue ball goes into the pocket on every shot. Simple, straight shots don't go into the pocket, and a lot more, so I just uninstalled this game.
noname829696, the 24/09/2025
________________________________________________
Horrible matches. The game indiscriminately sets you up with players who are level 200 and above even though you are at a level below 20! Hardly a fair setup, not only because these high level players have a ton more experience, but they have played long enough to obtain amazing "magic" cues that you don't have access to, unless you pay a lot of money for. I am sure it's a ploy to get you to buy into the game so you can get better cues. Shame on the developers.

The base game is great. Really loved it. But once you get into it, there are SO many ads. Not the kind that make you watch videos, but the kind where it advertises multiple places to spend money on some tour or special mode or whatever...

incredibly frustrating. when the app decides you're going to lose, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. You will be incredibly unlucky, shot after shot after shot, frame after frame. you can play the same shot in 10 different ways..topspin, backspin, power, soft, sidespin, stun..it will make zero difference if the app has decided you're going to lose - the result will be the same every time: the cue ball or the 8 ball in a pocket, or an impossible snooker. otherwise very playable.
