MacPool is a simulation game that enables you to play 8-Ball, 9-Ball, 14:1, 3-Ball, and Snooker on your Mac computer. This application provides you with various game options, lets you play against users from all over the world, and offers you detailed gameplay instructions.
The integrated help guide that contains the rules for each type of billiard game teaches you how to play online against other users and shows you how to configure the game's settings accordingly. Therefore, even if you're new to this type of app, you can easily set up the application and start playing billiard on your computer.
Unfortunately, the app doesn't offer you an option to save your game progress. Furthermore, if you attempt to change the display or sound options, your gameplay progress is lost.
Another annoying aspect about this app is that it brings low quality graphics and unimpressive physics during gameplay.
To conclude, I'd say it doesn't worth acquiring this program. You can find dozens of similar games that provide you with high-quality graphics and come without a price tag. Hence, I suggest you try more capable apps if you wish to play billiard on your Mac.
