1. ★★☆☆☆ Not necessarily accurate…. Sean B. from Westfield · 28 Jan 2026
   ADD FACTORY. You can’t do much of anything without getting bombarded with adds. You can’t advance without getting saturated with repeated adds that take forever to finish. These arrows and x’s pop up so you can exit the add, but it just generates more adds. I just read a review where someone was apologizing to the developers. This game is not really so “fair and accurate” as touted. The scorekeeping is far from accurate more often than it is. In one match I opened with three straight strikes. My opponent did not and somehow when the game was over, they had stars over all of their boxes as if

   more

   they were given credit for my scoring. I saw an opponent throw a clear strike against me and was given credit for a 9. I don’t recommend purchases either. If it were more accurate and there was some accountability here, then maybe. But I’m not impressed enough to recommend it…… Update!! Just played another match. Opened up with three straight strikes. My opponent was spare, strike, spare. When the game ended, my opponent had the three strikes in the first three frames. Since I wrote this review, my account has dwindled from over 600 million dollars down to 52 million. My best highest rated balls can no longer get strikes, and no matter how many cases I open, whenever my ball update with “points” the number never increases. I have one ball that always opens at 365 and never goes above 385. When it gets points again…. Its back down to 365…. Ridiculous…..

2. ★★☆☆☆ This was a 5 star game. Greed destroyed it. SoundMan612 · 6 Jun 2025
   Let me start by saying I love this game . For years I played everyday when I could. It’s a 5 star game. Unfortunately the insane greed of the developers who have the audacity to charge $25 every week to join the fun of competing against players around the world. $100 a month to play 4 tournaments. Now with the added AI players randomly thrown in. Not only are you tell your customers we mean nothing . The developers add insult to injury by adding AI players . They can say what they want . Last month this game generated $100K in revenue. It’s a mobile game. It’s beyond insulting. How do the dev

   more

   elopers validate this ? By saying high end prizes at stake. Ball upgrades and chips aren’t high stake prizes. Thanks for the great prizes . Keep them . It’s insulting . This was a fun game to compete in . Now it’s just another group of greedy people who clearly don’t care. Thanks for ruining an epic games we all loved . $100 a month and maybe we get a good ball upgrade. As far as the game play …Outstanding work. The creators of this game. You guys hit a home run. It’s an excellent made game. 5 stars . Too bad you let greed take the thrill of competition out of it . That’s why you got 2 stars . For years you had something epic . Hopefully maybe on developer will see how bad this is for your loyal customer base . I recommend everyone plays this game . Unfortunately the best part is now a rich man’s (woman’s ) game . Very disappointing…

   Thank you for leaving your feedback. We always strive to make every player's experience enjoyable, and we're really sorry we weren't able to meet your expectations. Please rest assured that you always play against real people or replays of real matches; it's never against a bot. A bit earlier in the year, we had to replace real names with made-up ones for privacy regulation reasons. However, the players behind those names are still real! We appreciate your feedback, and we'll make sure to discuss this with our team. It's important to us to ensure that our game meets the needs of all our players. We hope to see you in Bowling Crew again!
3. ★☆☆☆☆ Pay to play jaguara35830 · 12 Oct 2023
   This game, like many others, caters to those who pay. If you play for free, you’ll be rewarded with huge success early, until they figure out you aren’t paying. Then, mysteriously, strikes will start becoming spares or splits, you’ll be paired against opponents who are much higher ranked than you, who have bowling balls that have been upgraded much higher than yours. The bowling balls you have will rarely get much of an upgrade. I had 350 million chips at one point, and just now was completely busted. You don’t get that many chips and then suddenly forget how to play. To get to that point, you

   more

   were using inferior equipment, balls that had not been upgraded much, and you were playing against higher ranked players. How is it that you succeed under those circumstances, but when you get to the point of a higher ranking with better equipment you suddenly can’t win anymore? I honestly don’t remember the last time I was paired against an opponent with a lower rating than me. It’s a kind of fun game until you realize that if you can’t pay, you can’t be competitive. I once threw a ball at 3 remaining pins, all in a tight triangle where a direct hit on the middle pin would definitely take out all 3. The ball hit dead center on the front pin, then went between the back 2 and didn’t even brush either one. This is physically impossible. The game definitely has bugs. Too bad. It was fun up to the point where the losing constantly started. Do better. Deleted.

4. ★★☆☆☆ Love this game!!! valarie p · 28 Oct 2021
   This is one of the, if not THE BEST bowling games out there! The graphics, the games, the music, are all fantastic!! I do have a question for the developers though. I had a bowling ball called “Captain” in a previous game. I miss it and would like to know if you can make it available for me to add to my arsenal. Why can’t we pick and choose the balls we want? I have at least 8 to 10 balls that I never use and would like to get rid of them so that I don’t waste so much time trying to get the balls I DO use up to higher levels. I can’t seem to get my balls into and past level 10. Please consider

   more

   my requests and help me get the “Captain” into to my arsenal of bowling balls I use!!!! Thank you for your time! Update: I’ve never heard from the developers regarding my requests and complaints. Frustrating!! I really used to love this game but only play once or twice a day. Mostly for the daily challenges. It takes forever to level up the bowling balls I do use and it only gives me less than 10 or so points towards them when I do get points for them. When you get only 10 or less points towards a level of 5,000 points needed to level up it takes forever! And the amount of money I’ve spent trying to improve my levels, I think I’ve made a couple of house payments for the developers. It’s not fun anymore and it’s getting too expensive to play. Looking for a new bowling game………

   Hello, Valarie! Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to delete a ball from your Arsenal. Though having it in there and upgrading it from time to time might prove to be useful, as this will help you raise your Rank and get awesome rewards! To collect more Balls in this game, please use the Collector's Cases from in-game Shop. There is 100% chance of getting a new Ball in case you don't have it already.
5. ★★★☆☆ Wonderful, but one flaw… Vdodili · 24 Aug 2021
   I LOVE this game and have been playing it daily for a long time now (I’m at level 41). The problem is that, recently, after I pay for a game with my coins/tokens, the game will freeze up right after it has selected an opponent. I always have to exit the screen, and when I come back, it has declared the other person the winner and I have lost my coins. This is significant, as I am playing levels that cost 5 million and 7.5 million coins each, which is a big loss. This can happen a few times during a playing session, at which point I just have to give up for the night, rather than lose more coin

   more

   s. I have to point out that this NEVER happens during the daily challenge or the Skill Shot, only in play where one has to pay coins to play. The cynical part of me wants to think this is a “planned” accident in order for the developers to gain back the coins, but I don’t really want to believe that is what is happening. The same issue does not happen with any other of the many games I play, except for Golf Battle which is a similar coin-based play, and likely from the same developers. The reason given is “lost connection,” but I am always connected when I close the game, and never lose connection with any other game, email, or the like. I truly hope the devs have a response to this, and possibly some suggestions as well, as like I said, I really love this game and want to continue playing like I always have!

6. ★★★★★ Listen to other reviews. Fun until 9th or 10th frame. travisderrek · 14 Mar 2021
   ***Update*** I want to apologize to the developers. I just needed to have patience in the higher levels. I felt like I was getting cheated but realized that I just needed to build up my balls’ attributes which just takes much more time once you get to the 8th and 9th level. That is how a game should be developed to keep it fresh and challenging. I have been playing this daily for several months and continue to enjoy it. To the developers, thank you for the amazing game and I apologize for my previous whiny rant. 5 stars. Like everyone else has said, the game shows how badly it’s rigged by t

   more

   he 9th and 10th frames. There is no way this is all just a coincidence for hundreds of different people. I’ll admit this game really is a blast, but once you get to those frames, you stop getting new balls, you start getting useless upgrades and are consistently matched with players much higher than yourself. I just got to the 10th lane and have played 8 people so far. 6 out of the 8 had the 10th frame mascot as their profile picture; meaning they had already surpassed that frame. I should not be playing people at that level as I am just entering the 10th frame. The developers don’t have to respond to this. I already know what you are going to say based off other reviews. The takeaway is, super fun until the 9th and 10th frame. After that, either be willing to pay or find another game.
   Developer reply · 15 Mar 2021

   We would like to tell you that the game mechanics work fairly and equally for all players. All players are in the same conditions. Player's effectiveness depends not only on the level of the balls but also on their type and the skills of the player. We also want to inform you that the system matches you with players with the same number of trophies (+/- 150 trophies). In this regard, sometimes there may be situations where you play against players who may have high-level balls. Our game is constantly evolving and changing. Perhaps in the future, the rules of the matchmaker will be changed.
7. ★★★☆☆ Good but not great DJF@2121 · 4 Feb 2021
   I was having lots of fun on this game for months. Unfortunately in recent days I have started to notice things about this game that I find puzzling. I will play a challenge of the day match for example and will beat the first and second match with ease like perfect or almost perfect. When I enter the third and final match of the challenge all of a sudden the same sweet spots I used to destroy other opponents with won’t deliver the same results and I lose every time forcing me to spend my chips that I earned from the regular matches just to get the rewards from the challenge. Now I thought it

   more

   was nothing at first but a feeling came over me that I’m playing against bots from the game. I decided to play a regular match against some random player to see if what I was thinking was true. I would play the first and the second frame as normal. Then I bowled all of my third frame. When it was the opponents turn to bowl their last three frames I would forfeit the match and still win beating the opponent who didn’t even get a chance to finish. The game still gave them a final score as if they bowled their final frames. I replicated this multiple times. I realized we must be facing bots not other players most of the time. How can the game generate a score for a player win or lose that hasn’t even finished their frames yet. 4 out of 5 times this will happen. I can’t help but think that this is unfair. I feel that sometimes the game will purposely make you lose. I hope I’m wrong but I can’t help but feel this way.

   As you know, the result of the match depends on the actions of the players who take part in it. So, you are not the only one who master skills. Other players, too, especially if you play on high-level alleys.
8. ★★★★☆ Fun to play kkerri · 27 Nov 2020
   This game has been super fun to play for the last few months. Surprisingly, I’ve been able to play this game without it breaking my bank account. In the beginning it’s super addicting, and I was solidly hooked. The only real problem that I have with the game is - now that I have maxed out on the level for the most common balls, they continue to give me the cards for those balls - even though I have absolutely no use for them. I’m talking about the cards in the cases you get for winning a round. I’m playing the highest level available and win, so I get a case that cost 20 gold to open. The on

   more

   ly problem is that I get a couple thousand coins, 1-2 cards for a high level ball, then the next 2 balls are ones that are already maxed out, and a few tokens toward the seasonal game that runs every 3 weeks or so. That’s it. They give you coins for the balls that you’ve maxed out on, but 15,000 coins instead of cards for other balls that haven’t leveled up is chump change - especially on a 10 million coin game. One of the main reasons I play as much as I do is to get the cases after my winning games in order to level up my individual ball selection. It’s a real bummer to get a case where 32 of the 34 cards are basically unusable. And it’s not just the random case either. It’s EVERY case that has at least one ball where the cards are useless. So I give it 4 stars. Once you play till the end you pretty much get screwed on this one. There is supposed to be more levels coming- so we’ll see.

9. ★★★★★ Best bowling game out there! ✨Gypsigirl✨ · 17 Aug 2020
   Pros: I’ve tried all of the bowling games available on the App Store and this one beats all of them hands down! From the graphics to the game play, this game outperforms them all! Disregard the negative reviews where people are whining about not being able to win—they are likely not paying attention to the ball level that they’re using as some lanes and pin formations work better with certain ball levels and ball types. If they’re losing, it’s on them, not the game, because you control your own performance in this game. I don’t spend money in apps, but I do in this one because they’re extreme

   more

   ly generous with giving away free gold. Also, because of the amount of gold you get during a season, the price to upgrade your season is worth it ten fold when you consider all you get for the low cost of the upgrade. I also love the new timers in the season wins. It used to be that you’d blow through all the levels in a day or two, now with the timers, it’s a slow burn that extends the win time. Besides, if you’re that impatient, use your gold to speed up the timers—you get enough free gold to afford it. Cons: I do wish there was some way to get additional suitcase slots. Maybe buy a slot for a temporary amount of time or earn an extra slot as you level up? And, this is a big one, I wish there were a way to report an inappropriate screen name of another player. I’ve seen two graphic and inappropriate player names that shouldn’t be allowed but I have no way to report them. I also wish that I could comment on an opponent’s performance. Maybe quick, premade comments like “Wow!” Or “Great job!” that you can display when in a game, as I’ve seen some incredible throws that I wish I could give kudos to the other player for making.

10. ★★★★★ Patience is a virtue Smoosh smoosh · 4 Jul 2020
    After being down and out on this game so many times and initially siding with the reviewers saying the opponents too often make cheap, lucky shots, bots vs. human opponents, etc., I have found through LOTS of practice and patience that the game is indeed NOT cheap or unfairly programmed with algorithms stacked against you, it’s just RIDICULOUSLY precise. Its true that consistent game play does not yield consistent results but if you employ the following tips you can reduce that risk tremendously. The best secrets to success in this game are as follows; 1) Throwing mechanics; changing how you s

    more

    wipe to throw the ball makes a Huge difference. 2) Ball placement; you must find the exact perfect spot/angle down to the pixel to hit consistent strikes. 3) Throwing meter (hook); if not hooking the ball (which I never do) You have to always hit almost perfect center on the meter to achieve consistent results (assuming you have found the perfect spot to launch). 4) Ball power ratings; Each ball must be above a certain level to achieve consistent strikes or to send the pins flying on different alleys. For example, you are stretching your luck using Level 7 balls on the Knights alley, or Level 5/6 on the Mars one. 5) Ball type; use Power balls with a high hook control and low hook by default. Use Precise and Bounce for cleanup. A few of the Power balls are junk and move like molasses no matter how hard you throw them. Avoid using. 6) Grinding; you have to grind out win after win after win on the highest paying alley in which your ball power level is overkill. Give this game a second and third chance, its worth it.
