Latest reviews of Official Billiard Rules Lite app for iPhone and iPad
A must have for every pool player with a smart phone. Every rule in the palm of your hands. Well done Billiard Congress of America.
Overall this isnt a bad ap. The "buttons" are glitchy to hit, which is a bit irritating. Also its small on my ipad. These arent too bad to deal with. However the ONLY common game that this gives rules for is 8-ball. If you want 9, 10, or straight pool you have to purchase the paid version. The free version does contain all of the rules for the "other" games, like cut-throat and one pocket. In its current state its not worth purchasing for me. Its just as easy to grab my hard copy book for the rules, or direct a customer to the rules posters on the walls. My recommendation would be to add 9-ball to the free version and drop the "other" games from the free version.
