Pinball Arcade Plus App Reviews

All tables Ive purchased now tilt for no reason at all. Playing fine, then machine starts "shaking" causing a tilt. Cant continue to play out of frustration. Wont be purchasing more tables until this is fixed. Not bothered by the new UI. Some decent new features. Not cool that some goals that were accomplished disappeared and some high scores exist on the leaderboard online but dont show as a high score on the table screen.

Im a huge pinball arcade fan and keep waiting for these bugs to work out with the new UI but lately I feel like a beta tester. The latest version 6.1.1 causes the app to crash all the time. If you pause the app or turn the device off the sound and DMD double in speed or force quits. When rotating the device from portrait to landscape sometimes the app just crashes. The table icons in portrait arent even centered and theres a funny line near the bottom. The table icon has to be perfectly centered in the screen to select. The option to turn on and off the HUD or DMD is gone. Upon selecting a table to play then exiting that table makes the app randomly unusable. Please look at all the graphical issues in portrait such as selecting player 2 on 9.7" screen. The auto-plunger in Harley Davidson and Black Rose are very small. Now in Terminator 2 the ball just passes through the back of the skull. This isnt shouldnt be even possible! The table of the month is not available from what is described in iTunes. I love this app and had planned purchasing another season pass this weekend but I will have to wait until these new bugs get fixed.

Wow, you really destroyed the interface. Let me count just a few of the ways: 1) No list of favorite games, so now you get to select the few tables you may have purchased from a giant graphical collection of about a hundred icons of tables you dont own. 2) No longer shows total Hall of Fame score of all tables combined. 3) Standard and Wizard goals are buried. Cannot determine which Wizard goals are left to achieve. 4) Crashes repeatedly if you achieve a high score. All in all this combines to a terrible user experience and one that makes it less motivating to play and excel. I would expect that your daily usage stats are now down the drain. I used to play addictive ly every day but now cant bring myself to wrestle through the interface. And one more really annoying UI change that demonstrates just how inexperienced the designers are. The single largest piece of real estate on each table is now a ball selector on the screen...to choose from one of about a dozen different colored balls. That would sure seem to be just about the least important feature. I cant see anywhere which Wizard goals I have yet to achieve, but I can change my ball from silver to zebra striped. Fire your UX team. All of them. And please return this game to what it was.

The new UI is atrocious and the worst update of ant app I have ever seen. I hope they fire the guy or gal who did this. Made the app almost unusable. I want all the money I invested in this app back! Why cant I see where I place in the tourney on each table. Why cant I find the rules for each game? Save your money until they fix this

OMG FIX THE INTERFACE. It wont let me purchase individual tables, only table packs. Now it wont let me play my purchased tables after download. I tap on the icon and nothing happens. Ive spent a lot of money on this app through the years, FIX IT, or you wont get any more money from me.

With the new version, the sound stopped working.

So its .99 for the game itself which isnt bad for the quality of the game. The tables look great but...you have to buy the pinball machines as in all purchase and they are really expensive. Prices are $4.99 and up for a single machine. Ridiculous. If the app itself was free to start with then that would be one thing but youve basically paid for an app to have to pay for any of the machines.

Do not download. They refuse to fix UI issues and bugs and continue to release new tables. The latest table starts with 0 credits so you cant even play it.

New Frank Thomas Baseball table is loaded with glitches. Typical new release? But the latest UI has been out over a month and still requires constant restarts. Come on guys, youre making the money. PLEASE FIX

Sound setting could be much improved. The latest table (Big Hurt) is buggy (ball gets lost way too frequently, scrolling through initials for high scores is iffy, the high score list itself is buggy -- currently mine are not listed in order, etc.). Like others, I have loved this game, but the quality seems to have decreased of late. I dont recall new releases being so buggy in the past. Hopefully theyll get the issues resolved.

There are bugs in this game which make it unplayable. Just bought "Big Hurt" and can only see 25% of the table. Please fix and while youre at it get rid of the terrible new U.I.

I am the #1 fan of TPA. Here are the current issues: 1. Sound is sped up occasionally. 2. Buttons and scrolling glitch after gameplay occasionally. 3. Initials in FTBH are glitchy.

Sorry but new interface? What were you thinking? Its rather clunky. Cant you do better? Why do I have to create an account?

The interface was fine before. Now it is dopy and ametuerish.

New UI flow is terrible Still cant turn annoying main song off Gameplay is great but cant read table instructions. What fun is that?

Pinball Wizard is extremely annoying. I find it hard to believe that anyone play tested this app, because there is no way they would have left that terrible version of that song in the game. I have resorted to just leaving the sound off. Game occasionally freaks out and removes most of my local high scores. Yesterday it deleted all but my lowest score on Central Park. Stop asking me for a log in. I am not creating a log in for a pinball app. Thats ridiculous to even ask. Get rid of the completed goals popping up on screen during play. They only get in the way. Also, you are using L2 and R2 as the flipper buttons on the MFi controller. These are triggers and have a lot of extra travel. Any gamer knows that flipper buttons should be all-or-nothing inputs and that buttons - not triggers - are the only real way to play pinball. Please switch the flippers to L1 and R1 as they should be.

The data must be in by now. I am betting Pinball arcade engagement and conversions are down YoY and since update,which would be definitive evidence the new UI is a usability disaster worst step back in UI design I have ever seen. It is in fact so bad, I have stopped playing the game. I used to play every day. Not a good trend for your product. You want to know how bad the UI is? On high scores all the text is crammed together like scrabble tiles a dis completely unreadable. Great beta testing there guys. The old UI was perfect,but it was fun to use. This one is unusable and annoying in every way. I can barley even find tables as now the art is crammed into a circle.that this was even approved tells me you have hack for a Art Director. This looks like you farmed into a company that cares less about your customers than you should. I cant imagine how anyone thought this was a good idea. I have spent hundreds of dollars on tables and kickstarters. I used to play this everyday and I also havent played it but a few times since the update. The high scores are a jumbled mess.

I have bought most of the available tables. 3 tables ago, I let them know I was missing bought tables. They wanted a list of all tables I owned--FOR THE THIRD TIME!!!! I have spent over a lot of money, only to have them "lose" my purchases with new tables revisions. I have deleted and reloaded the app multiple times. I have given them a list twice, and when I give them the email chain, with all the back and forth in the last few years, I still get "send us a list". Im done. Fix the app, or give me back my money! Do NOT buy!

Terrible main menu song that cant be turned off separately. Seriously, its soooo cheesy. I dont know why you even changed the old UI.

Hate this version. I used to play a lot. Not anymore. And like others I lost all of my high scores. I wont buy any more tables.
