About this app
You remember that arcade machine at the bowling alley. The one you fed quarters into for hours.
Ball-Hop Bowling brings it back — right in your pocket.
Roll the ball. Aim for the rings. Chase the high score. It's the closest thing to the real arcade experience on mobile — and it's been the #1 arcade ball roller game for over 15 years.
THE ORIGINAL BONUS ICON SYSTEM
The mechanic the whole category copied — and nobody does better.Three targets. Three rewards. One compounding streak.Hit the Ticket Icon to bank bonus tickets. Hit the Exclamation Icon to stack your score multiplier — x2, x3, x4 and beyond. Hit the Ball Icon to earn an extra ball and keep your game alive.Chain 3 Bonus Icons and you're On Fire. Chain 6 and you're Burning Up.The longer your streak, the higher your multiplier, the more you earn.Simple to learn. Impossible to put down.

Five-star share of ratings
65–79% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the app package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Purchases the store lists
What this app sells
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.

This list is cut off. Apple shows at most 10 in-app purchases, and this app is at the limit — so it very likely sells more than we can see.
Method and limits
What a missing label means
Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.
Limits of this report
- A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
- Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
- Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
- A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
