Pros and cons of iBowl app for iPhone and iPad

iBowl app good for

This game is tons of fun, keeps ya busy for sure. As a free app, why not download it???

Wow I used 2 rate stuff from one to amazing but I think iBowl just passed it! Apparently there have been problems but I disagree this game is "all that" Keep on going SGN

This game is pretty much WiiSports Bowling in your pocket. The game crashed twice, but it runs well the rest of the time. I really cant wait until SGN makes some more sports games. iCurling, iHockey, iTennis, iVolleyball would all be great.

This app is boostin styll b too many manz try and get these greezy manz apps styll and they roast your nukka pods styll

Bring back fighters club on facebook or better yet make an iphone app!!!!! Most of your apps are free so how can you say FC was not profitable? If you maintained the app it would be thousands and thousands play it!!!

good game!! iTunes wont let me buy games although i have a giftcard with $7.94 remaining anyone have any idea why??????

Some bad moments

sure the grafics are better than before, but now it just seems slow(shot speed). needs a little work

Although I do appreciate the effort to customize your ball, the update has put a glitch in the game. I no longer have my previous high score which was 187 but now the ball refuses to go straight. Now my high score is 86... whats up with that! Please fix it!

As others have stated, the loss of ball control by hooking or slicing during your swing is the biggest loss! It is all backwards when it does "work". These dynamics could be used skillfully to make some nice shots. The new "point and shoot" is too easy. The speed of the ball is another thing. Is this just visual or have the speed and strength of the throw been "standardized"? If just a visual slow down due to the fancier graphics or changes required by the "online" mode then it is acceptable. If it is a "dumbing down" of the dynamics then... I really would like to downgrade to the previous version. Will have to read reviews before updating next time.

If I get strikes every time without trying theres a big problem

Controls are unique but the game is terrible. Laggish gameplay and horrible physics.

Bad controls cuz i let go and mi ipod went flying im happy it still work!=<
