Best pool apps for iPhone (2026)

Most pool apps on the App Store are free-to-play multiplayer games funded by ads and in-app purchases. Fuse is different: a one-time unlock, no ads, and a single-player countdown twist on the same cue-and-cushion physics. Here's how it stacks up against the pool apps people actually download.

Fuse by ST Studios

A pool game where every ball is a lit bomb — line up your cue and pot them all before the fuses burn out. String pots together back-to-back to build a multiplier as the rules ramp up.

$3.99, one-time purchase, no ads

Best at: a physics pool-run puzzle twist rather than another timer or league grind.
