Flick Bowling is a great way to waste time. Price tag may be a little high for those who aren't huge fans of bowling but it's a lot better than most of the games found on the app store.

It is far too simple but sort of relaxing.

Surely it's a bit easy, repetitive and boring?

It's bowling. Of course it's repetitive I wouldn't say boring though if you're a fan of these types of games.

It's just one you can pick up and have a quick game of bowling.

added Con: Totally missing a glow in the dark feature lol.

Thanks for the heads up. After reading your review and checking the App Store info I decided to give it a try.

Pin animation is very bad and there seems to be a lag after choosing your ball. I think 300 is still better. There seems to be a trend of just because something is new that it must be better.

Reboot your phone or something. Absolutely no lag in this game for me. Played all day.

I'm a bowling fan so I'll have to give 300 a try. I've seen it but haven't had the chance to grab it. Thanks for the heads up

Yeah...The game doesn't lag per se, I meant when you click the ball sometimes it takes longer for the dude to appear on the lane than other times. If the pin animation was better I think it would be an incredible game.

Yeah its great, smooth graphics, sound all nice. But I suck at it. I gutter balled about 8 frames in a row. LOL
