Common questions
How do I shoot?
Put a finger down anywhere on the screen, drag away from the direction you want to hit, and let go. The harder you pull, the harder the shot: the ring around the cue ball shows the power. Pull back only a little, or slide your finger back to the start, and nothing is shot.
How do I turn the ball hint off?
Tap the light bulb in the bottom-left corner during a game, or switch Ball hint off in Settings. With it off you still see the power and the line to the first ball it hits, but not where the balls go afterwards. The choice is remembered for every game.
What are the rules?
Tap the ? next to any game when you choose it, or the ? button during play, for a short rule book. The game is paused while it's open.
What does "ball in hand" mean?
After a foul in 8-Ball or 9-Ball, the next player can move the cue ball anywhere on the table. Drag the cue ball to where you want it (it's marked with a dashed ring), or just pull back to shoot from where it is. The computer does this for itself.
Why is there no score in Practice?
In Pot Points practice you're counting shots, so the scoreboard shows Shots and Left. Points are scored in Timed games and when you play against other players.
How do several players share one device?
Choose Versus. In Pot Points and Timed, everyone plays at once: each player has a cue ball with a ring in their own colour, and pulls back from their own ball. In 8-Ball and 9-Ball you take turns, so pass the device. On a Mac there is only one pointer, so take turns in every game.
How do the computer players differ?
Beginner aims loosely and often misses. Intermediate picks sensible shots and misses now and then. Expert tries its best shots on a copy of the table first, and rarely misses.
How do I change the table colour, sound or haptics?
Open Settings from the main menu. You can choose green, blue, red or purple cloth, and switch sound and haptics on or off. Haptics are only available on iPhone.
Are my best scores saved?
Yes. Your best Practice results, Timed score and wins against the computer are kept on the device. They aren't sent anywhere, so deleting the app removes them.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18 or later, and Mac with macOS 15 or later.
