8 Ball Pool — App Store: "Ufff" (1★) Shady mechanics, keep in mind the game will manipulate matches. It’s so obvious they want you to spend real money. There is a heck ton of hackers and bots too. Bots are so common. Save yourself the headache and avoid it. Also, there is no skill base matchmaking. I was a level 15 playing against lvl 200s all taking my tokens in shady ways. I had to uninstall for my own sanity. Most positive reviews here are fake btw.
