Latest reviews of Official Billiard Rules app for iPhone and iPad
Just get the soft cover rule book! This app omits so much....I was looking for base of the ball placement rule ( w/ a drawing) explaining cue ball in kitchen, object ball out of kitchen....nothing! Just get the book!!
I always wanted this, just noticed it!!! Nice!!!
Have to go back to the main menu to read every short section of a game. Hard to imagine a more cumbersome arrangement. Other than that huge drawback, it would be a very good app.
App is great in a pinch. Hopefully a better search engine is developed and more marketing to get users to use the app vice printed rulebooks. Recommend also putting years the rulebook is applicable so user can verify the most recent version is uploaded. Thanks again.
