Galaxy Bowling HD Reviews

Finally... a game that’s not impossible to roll the ball down the lane with some consistency and predictability. Unfortunately the pins are glued down. Either that or the creators have absolutely no idea about pin action. I hit the pocket and get a strike maybe one out of every seven or eight balls. You never hit the pocket and wind up with three and four pins left. It just doesn’t happen in real bowling. Strikes are not that hard to come by in the real game. Fix your pin action to be realistic, and you have a great game. The game uses a Random Error Generator. So it doesn’t matter how well you hit the pocket. There will simply be times when strikes come a’plenty, and there will be times when you can’t strike no matter where you hit the pins....and that’s just not good enough....

The 10 pin bowling portion of this game is totally unrealistic and not like any 10 pin bowling I have ever done. You’re rating for the candlepin bowling portion of this game would have been higher except for three things. Being robbed of 10 counts, spares and strikes because of pins being hit by wood and not actually falling down until I hit continue. This is not how it happens and I can attest to this because I have 14 years of candlepin league bowling under my belt. Make it better and maybe I will revisit my review in the future.

I played this game before, but at that time you could get customized pins (which I actually had). I hit “Restore Purchases” & still don’t have what I had before I stopped playing previously. The game is fun to play, no doubt about that. I would like to be able to retrieve my previous purchases. I’ll give 5 stars if that happens.

I like this game, is is fun to play and to kill time, but this game needs some fixing. The physics are ok but the pin physics are not good because when the ball hits in the light pocket you will leave splits, the pins act like they’re rubber and doesn’t fall over like in real life, the pins just slide. Whenever you have the replay on and after you skip the replay the ball moves to another spot instead of in the middle. This game is great to kill time.

I love GalaxyBowlingHD , it’s a lot of fun to play. A couple of things that I find bothersome, though. 100 pin bowling, needs to recognize strikes and spares and count the bonus pins. Candlepin bowling, sounds like billiard balls rather than bowling pins, I’m sure a little you tube searching would give a better idea for the appropriate sounds. Duckpin bowling, sounds too much like ten pin. It also has its own sound. There also seems to be an issue with the career stats for averages. I’ve looked at my average, bowled a game above my average, and seen my average go down. Likewise, bowled below my average and seen it go up. If it’s a rolling number of games, and not a true average, that’s understandable, but please state it. Also, there is no way to check your version number to make sure that you’re up to date.

Keep up the good work! You’re close to having a 5 star game!

Being an all around bowler, I love GalaxyBowlingHD for all the different disciplines of bowling that it offers. Physics might not be perfect, but they are quite good, and close enough for a free app, or even for the minimal cost to remove ads. I would love to see another game added, and that being Cocked Hat.

My two current gripes with this game.

1, I have no idea how your averages are being calculated, but something is off. As a test I have kept track of the last 45 games I have bowled in 5 pin, over that span I have averaged over 310, yet my average has dropped from a 297 to a 295, this just is not mathematically possible. Even if it is a rolling average of the last 100 games, average should have gone up by now.

2, and more importantly, players should not be able to compete in daily tournaments if they are not using the most current version. I have noticed the same person named “Brunner” always winning the candlepin tournaments by more than 100 pins. I saw one poster feel like the user is hacking, though I know from experience that your older versions, candlepins was very easy to score, to the point that my tenpin average was lower than that of my candlepin. I have also noticed this scoring problem in some of the mixed tournaments as well.

Thanks for this wonderful app, and keep on improving it.

I like GalaxyBowlingHD a lot, but sometimes on the right side when I get a strike and a pin is in the gutter, the mechanism picks it up and negates my strike! It has happened at least six times with me, and I end up trying for a spare when I already had a strike. Very disappointing... Otherwise, I like it. Since I had shoulder surgeries I can't do regular bowling so this fills the gap a little. Thanks!

I went out of the game and apparently the next day I wanted to play it again and then I checked and the cosmic balls like the moon, Europa, and titan were gone can you try to figure out what’s making them go away and maybe try and fix it pls? Thank you.

Please put candlepin, duckpin and all the other bowling games for online multiplayer so you can play anyone around the world. Not just 10 pin. There is no bowling app out there that has all these different kinds of bowling games on it. Everyone I think would like to play these types of bowling games online!!

Overall the game is very fun and realistic. The many game variations are nice & the tournament & other multiplayer options add good competition.

The main thing I feel it could use is some updates to the 100 pin game.

* The career stats arent tracked for this game
* If the ball is moving too slow it can glitch at the end of the lane and you have to close the game and reopen
* The pins can bounce against the shadowy area at the back of the lane as if its a solid surface, maybe this issue also causes the ball to get stuck as noted above?
* The timeout from one throw to another should either be a few seconds longer, or have a tap to continue like candle pin does. Many times a would be spare or strike is nullified by the game moving on too soon.
* A 100 pin tournament would be nice. Id love to see what others are able to get in a 3 game series of this.

GalaxyBowlingHD is great! So is the multiplayer option but their is a few things that I wish they would fix like, not being able to sign into a account or having network problems when it comes to asking people for a rematch, or trying to create account with them. I also noticed that their is some glitch’s when it comes to knocking down pins or when you should of gotten a strike but didn’t. Also when it comes to creating private matches or joining one it doesn’t work either. But all in all GalaxyBowlingHD is great!!

Galaxy bowling is one of my favorite games! There is one thing that I don’t like though the fact that you can buy or get coins for new pins or balls! 😊 Otherwise my and my grandma Nonnie play ALL of the time together on the multiplayer mode but we have to play on different phones obviously!! You should definitely get this game/app though! 😊😊😊

A simple , yet fun bowling app that I have tried . Nothing to complicated . It’s not simple to get strikes all the time. So there is a little challenge to it . Ball curve control is very accurate and makes it fun and realistic . I have tried other apps that get deleted after a day or two, this one has stayed for about a yr now since the first time I started using it .

This game is super fun! I play it everyday. It has a good selection of game modes and I have nothing bad to say about it. But you can always add more game modes, here are some suggestions: turkey bowl, Irish road bowling, lawn bowling, competitive bat skittles, and rubber duckpin bowling which is duckpin with rubber ring added to make the pin bounce everywhere. Thanks for reading the review!

So at first, I was like I don’t really like this game. This game is too hard until I found out like you can like just throw it straight so I started that and I am a very good bowler. I’m in a league and this is the most best game in the whole entire world, I cannot find a better game like this like I think it’s just the best game in the world world you should try to

This is a great game, it’s not one of those that has terrible pin action low graphics or other frustrating things. It has none of those, the only game that is realistic and high quality. My only issue is that the candlepin mode will get hung up on frame 2 or 3. I see this a lot in your reviews, so I don’t think you need to be reminded. But thanks for giving me a game that is fun and realistic bowling. Keep up the good work 😀👍🏻

This really is the best bowling game in GalaxyBowlingHD Store! It’s nice the developer acknowledges there is more to bowling than straight 10 pin as I am from New England where candlepin bowling is king! Only wish that you could select which mode of bowling for a private match instead of only being able to do 10 pin.

I love this bowling app with all the different styles of bowling. The only complaint I have is the candlepin game hangs up and I have to exit out of GalaxyBowlingHD completely and either shut down my iPad or iPhone to reset. Any way you can fix that? Thanks for fixing the issues. It works great now.

I’m from New England and lots of candlepin alleys have closed. It’s great to be able to play again with my relatives. Though my scores are much higher here then in real life it brings back great memories. My dad used to talk about duck pin bowling and I’m so happy to play it here.

This game is amazing but once you have every type of bowling (and skittles) unlocked then it becomes boring. I suggest adding new types of bowling such as rubber duckpin which is a variant of duckpin with 5 pin style rubber bands around the pins and only 2 chances to knock down the pins instead of 3.
