Pros and cons of Age of Curling app for iPhone and iPad

Age of Curling app good for

Nice Game But No Bluetooth or online multiplayer WHY. ..... ? ( ) _( ) (=.=) (")_(") no online Multiplayer = no Real Fun
A blast to play! One physics issue: when two stones collide, the striking stone maintains too much momentum. All told, well worth the money.
you cant freeze to a stone and be protected. usually if you freeze to a stone (put one right in front of another stone) it is impossible to get rid of the frozen stone. In this game if you hit the frozen stone it moves right along with the back stone. I should be like Newtons cradle with the 5 hanging balls if one ball strikes the pack only the last ball moves. Also it curls way too much and you cant raise one of your own stones properly. Still fun to play though, but should work on physics if not too hard.
Fantastic game - need the ability to sweep with better control. Also the AIs shots are far too perfect.
Things so update: - rounder stones - show the score during the game - have a coin toss at the begining of the game - an Al (Computer) skill leval option easy med hard - way better physics
I want to pick my team country in the tournament but its awesome.

Some bad moments

The physics ruin it for a real curler, and honestly, who else would buy a curling game. Needs a better interface for aiming shots. Hard to get precision on where to aim. Movement of the rocks as they come to a stop are ridiculous. Not able to play proper bumps and doubles and double peals.
Moderately enjoyable, but the physics are pretty basic. Not enjoyable if youve ever been curling and expect certain behaviour out of your rocks on more complex shots and curls.
The graphics of the game are pretty decent but the physics arent very realistic at all. Stones curl too much and the hits arent accurate with how they behave. The AI also needs to be improved as it doesnt play a very good strategy game at all, and it doesnt take too much to beat the computer. Other things that could be improved: the ability to sweep the opponents stone behind the t-line, better sounds (perhaps the rumble of the stone going down the ice), and different rinks. Not a bad start, but there is a lot of room for improvement especially if you curl and really know what is supposed to be happening during a game.
I did not even want this app and all of the sudden it was on my iPod. Give me my money back!!!!
The concept and graphics are great. The physics is questionable. Id like something a bit more easy for seeing approximately where Im aiming. The AI only seems to know how to throw comearounds, guards, and peels. Any raises are done out of desperation with no advance planning. I would like the aiming and physics changed first then the AI given personalities which favor different tactics and strategies. Im most frustrated as I paid FULL price for this and received a half of game.
But the way the AI can draw to the button repeatedly is AMAZING! And the physics of the rocks could use some tweaking. Ive never seen a rock nearly get airborne when struck by another rock, no matter how hard they hit.
