AimBuddy is a unique new app that will improve your pool and billiards skills.
With AimBuddy, you can see the angle needed to make a shot and know exactly where to aim. Use your finger to drag your target point and AimBuddy will instantly trace the trajectories and update the collision points.
This app will train your aim with the "ghost ball" technique and improve your skills with visualizing the contact point between the cue ball and the target ball.
Pros and cons of AimBuddy: Pool and Billiards Trainer app for iPhone and iPad
AimBuddy: Pool and Billiards Trainer app good for
This app is very good. I often go to play billiard, and I can confirm that indeed the app helps you play. Also, I never knew before about the ghost ball, so thanks god, now I have an advantage to my friends.
The UI though is not very attractive...I does look realistic, but it misses a certain shine thatd make it just feel good when you look at it.
Anyways, if you want to improve your billiard skills, this app will help, and I recommend it.

its a great app for learning how to really play pool/billards. when one needs to learn angles in pool, this is the way to learn it, to see it in action, following every trajectory inch by inch.
For what it does, it is good.
But it only does one thing, so keep that in mind.
If you absolutely must find out different angles and trajectories, then it is perfect.
Some bad moments
The screen shots for many apps show a small peek into what the app does. This apps screen shots are the entire app. The two screens that do very little- thats it. As far as learning any thing useful? Not in my opinion. If it could possibly help to know that hitting in a particular spot is equal to a particular angle- then maybe. I for one cant look at a shot and say "Ah that is 33 degrees" and then supposedly draw on my memory or use the app to see where I hit it to propel the ball at 33 degrees.
Bottom line is I feel I got ripped off for $1.99. I wouldnt pay .10 cents for this knowing what it was... It is know help in understanding pool aiming as the description claims. As for the 1 good review Im at a loss but it makes me wonder if they ever get faked.
I get the angle concept but would be better if able to apply English to see where the cue ball is going to go too. May want to improve so a person can practice shots to check their skills out.
I play in a league... This app is useless doesnt even tell u were the que will go after hit using different shots like hard soft any type if English.. I want my $ back I got robbed
