About 8 Ball Pool

What is 8 Ball Pool?

8 Ball Pool is a virtual billiards gaming app that allows users to play pool against friends or in a league.

This app is rated E for everyone but is recommended for kids ages 4 and older who are able to play strategic games. 8 Ball Pool is available on both iTunes and Google Play for free download but offers in-app purchases ranging from $0.99 to $99.99.

This app gives users an authentic billiards experience allowing them to break, and play out a game of traditional 8 Ball Pool. Users are able to challenge their friends or join pre-existing tournaments. Tournaments can hold up to 8 players, allowing for whole friend groups to get in on the action.

8 Ball Pool also has a level up feature ensuring that players are constantly challenged when using this app. This app was developed by miniclip, a popular action gaming developer.

Reviews of this app say that it is very fun and quite realistic but that it requires a solid Wi-Fi connection and because of this will occasionally glitch out or spontaneously close down. Reviewers also complain that most of the improved gear such as pool cues have to be purchased with real money.

Is 8 Ball Pool safe for my kids?

8 Ball Pool is a virtual billiards gaming app that is safe for kidswith parental supervision. Parents should be aware that this game encourages playing in tournaments of up to 8 players or against other users which leads to playing with random users.

Parents should also note that the 8 Ball Pool app requires Wi-Fi to function so it cannot be easily taken on the go and can encourage connecting to public Wi-Fi sources when traveling.

As this app encourages you to challenge other users, players are required to sign in either via Facebook or Miniclip in order to start playing and to connect with friends.

There is no age verification when downloading this app or beginning to play. The 8 Ball Pool app is similar to other games that allow you to shoot pool with your friends using your phone such as the pool game featured in the Game Pigeon iPhone attachment.

Since 8 Ball Pool encourages users to interact with one another, themes such as cyberbullying, mature content and inappropriate message sharing may be relevant if users play against strangers.
