		<description>Just been playing this fantastic game. I love the fact that you decided to offer the aiming guides so I can be more focused on break building through positional play rather than just trying to line up the pot like so many pool games.   

I play &quot;World Championship Snooker&quot; on my PC and this game is now its traveling companion. Great work. 

I too would like to have just a little more roll on the balls. The cue ball keeps coming up a little shorter than I expect from the power of each shot. Everything else feels natural.</description>

		<description>Sorry forgot to add - only thing I do not like is the &#039;ball in hand&#039;. Unless there is some trick I am missing it is horrible trying to move the ball to where you want it. Be better if you could use the zoomed view or some arrow keys.

		<description>Really enjoying this - great game so congrats. :)

Small bug.

If on the last red you pot a yellow - it is not returned to the table, you immediately go to the green.

Agree with the other comments about the physics being slightly out but not enough to be too annoying.

Be nice if the game had some other &#039;player stats&#039;, highest ever break, most balls potted etc.

Also of course be nice if a few other games such as billards, pool etc were added (I appreciate the &#039;name&#039; of the game though.) ;)

BTW - I like the guides, allows me to get some decent breaks and as the train moves around I&#039;m not squinting like a madman trying to line something up.

Cheers

		<description>okay - as I got my first ever iTunes giftcard today (unexpected) - had to get this game.

only played a little - so first thoughts.

This game is really, really good. Gameplay is nice and quick. Like the fact opponent is very quick with his shots.

altering view is pretty good with it being quicker to swing around the table using upper part of screen than lower (this negates the need for a fine-tune box a la Killer.

But, at times, in this, it&#039;s hard to tell if the object ball has a clear line to the pocket as the degree to which you can change your view is limited - I can see that playing with no guides whatsoever would be very difficult with current viewing options

(I reckon the addition of a free-form view where you could rotate around dead-centre of table and still had auto zoom from upper to lower views - would allow you to check if a ball is pot-able)

you cannot zoom view in and out like in Killer (best implementation with pinch) or VP (where you have to tap a button first and then swipe up/down) in this you view is automatically out further from above or zoomed in a bit more from lower

that does, however, mean that setting up shots is very quick in International Snooker - and I really like the spin setting implementation. I&#039;d like option to turn off guides - but as it is this far from too easy ( it&#039;s only when you&#039;re really near a pocket that the guides make correct aim inevitable - which, in a way, is how it seems when playing for real)

Overall, I reckon that is a great Snooker implementation - a few minor quirks but I think I&#039;ll be playing this a lot in the coming weeks/months and looking forward to the promised updates - cheers to such responsive devs!

Personally, I&#039;m glad I&#039;ve got this, as well as VP and Killer as all have their pros and cons - for anyone who likes Snooker - getting this is a no-brainer</description>

		<description>Thanks for the all praise guys, we&#039;re as excited as you about the game and we&#039;re determined to work on all feedback (including the more &quot;passionate&quot; posts).

We&#039;re compiling all the suggestions made both here and via email (if you&#039;re outside the UK, we may not see all feedback related in App Store reviews), and sketching out a reasonable roadmap. Expect more details in the near future, but generally if it&#039;s been mentioned already, it&#039;s on our hot list.

Some short answers:
Gavin: Re white ball, I believe so...
Mat: Re powerball, on the list

Best,

Thanks for the tip - I should have tried that - it&#039;s pretty logical now that I know. 
This makes it near-perfect for me now.</description>
