Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: NOW SERVING :: Read Our Full Review >>

Stick Tennis offers a simple and effective take on the sport, but the free-to-play model gets in the way.

What's New

We’ve overhauled the Daily Challenge with some exciting new features, including:

- TROPHIES: Each day we’ll be handing out silverware to those who finish at the top of the rankings. Soon you’ll need a trophy cabinet the size of Roger Federer’s!

- REGIONALISED RESULTS: Are you the best at Stick Tennis in your country? There’s only one way to find out. You’ll now be competing against your fellow countrymen every day (this is why we’ll ask permission to use your location data).

- REPLAYS: If at first you don’t succeed... why not use a Daily Challenge Replay? Earn replays simply by completing Challenges and redeem them in the hope of rising up the rankings.

This release also includes:

- BRAGGING (iOS 6 only): Whether you’ve just dominated Kournikova or pounded Pistol Pete, you are now able to easily boast about your exploits - with a screenshot included, of course - on Facebook and Twitter.

- PRO STORE: Browse, buy or restore your purchases. The Pro Store is the one stop shop for all your Stick Tennis needs!

- BUG FIXES: Fixes some other minor issues.
