Hi, long time player here. Firstly I want to thank you for such a brilliant game. It is the original of online 3D pool since the early 2000s and has brought me so much fun over the years. It plays brilliantly still and has not changed much at all. On desktop browser anyway but I have noticed a big change when playing this on my smart phone mobile browser. You used to be able to aim and then shoot like the desktop version but now it's kind of awkward as you now have to line up then press shoot to put the cue back and forth. I do prefer the old way but I can understand why. Do you think there could be an option to change back to how it was on mobile please? Thank you :)

8 Ball Pool on Mobile controls

Hi, and thanks for your feedback! It’s true that the mobile controls have changed a bit recently. The update was mainly intended to improve aiming precision and make the game feel smoother on modern touchscreens. Alongside this, several other improvements have been introduced in the past few months: 🎯 Better aiming system with a steadier alignment to reduce missed shots caused by accidental finger slips. ⚡ Performance optimizations for faster loading times and smoother gameplay, even on older devices. 🌐 Stronger network stability, helping to prevent mid‑match disconnections. 🎨 Enhanced graphics and a refreshed interface for clearer visuals on smaller screens. I totally understand you prefer the old method — maybe adding an option to switch between the old and new shot controls could keep everyone happy. I wish you a good time on the site, have fun. catsgirls moderator assistant flyordie
