UI design disaster

Please fix nonresponsive UI on the main menu when coming after quitting the previous game. It is impossible to select and play any game at that point.

Doesnt even start anymore

Loved this when I first bought it but changes have been dismal. Now, the app hangs shortly after the splash screen with a cutoff text box and nothing else in the UI. I paid for tables but can no longer play them.

Digital Pinball

I love these digital recreations of my favorite pinball games. The look and feel is almost identical to the real thing, and really fun!

GUI is terrible...

We arent being heard, the development team has flat out refused to fix the GUI to something more suitable, they are totally non-responsive, non-supportive of the general consensus of this horrid interface. The best way to be heard and get them to take action is to hit them in the wallet and dont feed them anymore cash flow! Dont by this product, stop feeding them cash flow until they address our complaints...

Broken on 6S

On the 6S, if you hit the far left edge of the screen, the left flipper wont work. You have to press about a centimeter over to get it to work. Impossible to play a serious game if the flipper keeps failing.

Great game but?!?

What does the cost of this version supposed to give you over the free one? Why dont they list the prices for the tables?

Terribleness

"The Dumb, Deaf, Blind Kid can sure play a mean pinball" That is very offensive!!!!! And that is the lyrics to the music that is featured on the menu screen of this game. I find the song very offensive and degrading to the physically challenged. Why does Arcade Pinball Creators believe it is so funny to make fun of the handicapped. I am handicapped, and I have paid a bunch of money to purchase many of the table packs. Thats really sad that you make fun of your loyal customers. You should be ashamed.

Is "pretty good" good enough?

If you want a game thats not bad, but not great,this could be for you. Do you like apps where the developers ignore most/all customer feedback? Do you like apps that have buggy tables years after those bugs are pointed out? Then this is the pinball simulation for you! From a music track you cannot shut off to the most bland and ugly black menus under the sun, this app has gone from something really good to something I regret getting sucked into. Dont hold up your hopes for any decent tables to be released. Outside of an occasional familiar name, most tables are obscure Gottlieb tables. If you get this app, set the bar low. Set it very low so you might not be disappointed.

Good concept, many bugs

I have had this app for years now and have bought almost every table that has come out but the main problem I have is if I get a phone call or text mid game and leave the game it ALWAYS freezes when I come back to the game and my current game has to reset. So if I have a high score working then it just gets erased. If you fix any bug PLEASE fix this one. I enjoy the tournaments and concept of this but its getting frustrating

Pinball Arcade

Great game. I wish we got more tables than just one every three months. Would like to see "Rollergames" on there.

This is better than the Pinball Hall of Fame games!

I really like this, especially since the tables featured in both PHoF games and made them better, moreover the Teed Off game has an actual DMD display than what the Gottlieb Pinball Hall of Fame collection. If the pinball tables in this collection are close to the real things, then by golly, it is.

Wheres the refund button?

As soon as I opened the app I knew I made a mistake buying this.

Sound settings

I think this is a great program, but the sound settings will change suddenly which makes playing the game tough in places where I cant have the sound on. I have to mute the whole phone which isnt ideal. Edit: Why does this app not let me buy individual tables? Its forcing me to buy table packs.

Table bugs never fixed. UI literally awful.

Literally the worst software developer you could imagine. Broken tables for years now on all platforms. Bugs that have never been fixed. The UI is horrible. Im not exaggerating. Im not asking for much either. Its the worst UI Ive ever used or seen. Also, it has been several years now, and I STILL cannot restore my table purchases to the app. 2 are stuck in the paid version and the rest are in the free version of the app. How hard is it to fix this, seriously? Bugs still exist throughout all of the tables and are never fixed. These developers dont care about their customers, they care about $. I used to love this app, but I can no longer support a company that treats their paying customers like they are disposable. Youve been warned; speak with your wallet.

No sound on iPad 3 with iOS 9.3.5

No sound on pinball arcade - both prior and most current version. Sound works on all other apps and sound is turned on. Any ideas??

Get rid of the main menu song

The UI is broken. The table select buttons dont work after playing one table and then trying to select a different table. The old interface was much better, please revert back. Please get rid of the main menu song, it is annoying to hear it on repeat every single time Im at the main menu. No more Pinball Wizard, please! It is torture! I dont care about a themed ball selector on every table. The navigation buttons have an arrow, a bar, and an X. Confusing and amateurish. Many graphics glitches and bugs on the tables. Total failure on FarSight Studios part. I dont recommend spending any money on this app until they fix the huge list of bugs.

UI Disatster, really disappointed

Great pinball tables. Really bad menu interface. And fingernails on a chalkboard bad theme music. Please please please kill the pinball wizard theme music. Or at least make the option to turn it off functional. The rest of the UI remains clunky, poorly thought out and opposite of a normal, smooth, iOS experience. It really needs vast improvement and is what contributes to bring this rating down below 4 or 5 stars. The horrendous theme music is what brings it to a 1 star, and I will continue to rate it 1 star after every update until the developer takes notice and gets rid of it. I hope every other regular user of this app does the same. Its that bad. The tables are actually really good and fun to play. Pretty accurate recreations of actual tables. Ive learned the rule sets and some shots on some tables in this game and actually applied them to casual playing of real tables Ive found in some of the big pinball "museums" around the country. If the rating was just about the pinball gaming experience this app provides, it would easily by 4 to 5 stars.

6.5.0 STILL BROKEN come on guys

For months now this game is completely broken. Controls are unresponsive, and/or slow. Have to exit game and close app to change from table to table. Is this game even supported by the maker any more. I own this game on many platforms and this is buy far the WORST. My advice DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR PLAY version 6.5.0

Please fix!!!!

Im begging the developers to PLEASE let us either: 1) Turn off that awful, awful version of Pinball Wizard that plays during the main menu display without having to also turn off the table music as well. 2) Let us customize the song that plays so that we can get rid of that awful, awful version of Pinball Wizard that plays. 3) Use the real Pinball Wizard song!

Great Game/Terrible Developer

Wonderful game. Great physics. Amazing simulations. Genuine tables on a tablet. UI broken for years. That part is just crazy. It wasnt great in the early days--but much better. And where are my movies? I purchased those.
