Nice work and congrats on breaking 2000! 12,000 shots is no joke either — that kind of volume shows real commitment. It’s great to see the work paying off.

That’s great to hear, and congrats on the new table. I hope you enjoy the app, and I’d love to hear how it goes once you’ve had some time with it.

I checked your older post and noticed that your Cueist rating went from 1822 to 1947 - congrats, that’s a really nice jump. Just to put that into perspective, drills where you were roughly 50-50 a couple of months ago are now situations where you’re a 67-33 favorite at your current rating...

As I mentioned above, we’ve got a lot planned for improving Cueist. So, I’m curious what you mean by a shot designer or editor - what would you want it to do?

There actually is a way to tell the algorithm how difficult a shot is - you do it by playing the shot and posting your result. Let me explain. Every drill in Cueist has a difficulty rating. Initially, these ratings were calculated using our physics engine. To simplify it a bit, once we set up...

Don’t worry - Cueist isn’t going to go stale. We’re serious about this app and we’ll keep working on it. Since launch, we’ve mostly focused on making sure everything works a little better, so most of the changes haven’t been very noticeable on the surface. Drill selection has improved, drill...

I’ve been thinking about adding some kind of sharing option. Right now, most players just share screenshots, which works, but it’s not ideal. The tricky part is figuring out a way to make it actually useful, rather than just duplicating screenshots inside the app. Do you think it would be...

Great to hear from you again, and even better that the app is helping you learn new shots and add some structure to your training. On the upgrade side, yes – we’re actively working on a few things. The next update will let you browse through your recent drills and add drills to your favorites...

It’s a good question, and I should’ve explained it more clearly. The fix isn’t tied to a specific app version – it was made on our backend (we use cloud-hosted databases and servers). That means it works no matter what version of Cueist you have installed. You don’t need to update or take any...

Nice to hear you're seeing steady improvement. I've been in touch with a few players using our app, and "steady improvement" seems to be a common theme. I'm really curious to hear what you notice once you start playing league again - most players actually see bigger improvements in their game...

Quick note for those using our training app: we’ve fixed a bug that affected some users - specifically, those who couldn’t see their results after finishing the Aiming section of the skill test. If you were one of them, your rating should now display correctly, and you’ll be able to move on to...

Thanks for letting me know – and sorry you're running into this. We don’t have direct control over the ads – they’re served by Google – but the app should never start with an ad covering the screen like that. It sounds like something went wrong with how the ad loaded. Please make sure to fully...

Sure, no problem. If you - or anyone else reading this - have any questions about Cueist, just let me know. That’s what I’m here for.

You'll find it just above the 'Next drill' button:

That’s not really how Cueist is designed. Repeating the same shot over and over might feel productive in the moment, but research shows it leads to poor long-term retention. That said, I get it - there are some shots you want to try again. Cueist gives you a few smart ways to do that: Retry...
