So realistic!

Christian_Huls

I love this app. I’ve been playing it since it first came out and it only gets better. The physics are so realistic. When I play tables I used to spend hours on the real thing, it feels and responds the exact same. I’m just glad I got all the Williams tables before the silly debacle. So, I vote for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean by Stern next. It’s so fun...


Game is no longer playable on iPhone 12

I expect a refund fir the purchases I have made today an update for over $300 in in app purchases prior. Sad to say it, it’s no wonder you lost your contracts because you never adapted to the competition.


Good Ole Days

I would like to know how many quarters I had put in these games. It takes me back to when I was growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, pinball machines were are prize to play. We loved to play at Bowling allies, Arcades, Laundry Mats and even in Gas Stations.


No longer works on iPhone Mini

Valgalder

Since I switched to iPhone mini running iOS 14.2, the games are unplayable as it is not formatted correctly to fit the screen or even start a game. Hope there is a fix soon. I paid a lot of money in all the packs.

Never loaded correctly to play. Forced to listen to pinball wizard, irritating - deleted.


Don't work on a iPhone 12 pro max

I just replaced my phone, and when trying to play any table; I can get the start button; the camera keeps moving around in presentation mode. Please advise.


Great reproduction tables, miserable ball physics

ClockParadoX

It’s a huge shame that these tables are so amazingly well done and recreated but the ball physics are just a joke. You can’t hold a pinball with a flipper in any situation, the pinball bounces around like it’s made of rubber. It’s really disappointing g because it’s likely the last time somebody would care enough to remake these tables at such a high quality.


Machines Keep Being Switched

I had purchased the F-14 Tomcat Pinball game from the app. The app asked if I’d like to restore my purchase, I said yes, but the machine is not there. In addition, pinball games keep getting switched and deleted, please bring back all pinball games that were featured on this app.


Legacy Fun, Modern Issues

Zodzilla

Note: this is a 4 star app, but unfortunately on my new iPhone 12 mini, It’s borderline unplayable. — There’s a history to this one. Once home to some of the greatest pinball tables of all time when they had the Bally/Williams license, and now home to just some pretty decent to good tables under the Stern license - TPA was not only the sole option for licensed VIrtual Pinball operation, but was a pretty decent one at that. Over time, however, they lost their lustre with a frame locked physics engine, on rails physics shots, and an aging set of graphic options as more competitors (namely, zen) came to the forefront of virtual pinball recreation. The loss of the Williams license was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but there are indeed still some decent tables here, presented with a price model that, while expensive, is fair and straight forward. All that being said, there is a level of “give credit where credit is due” with Farsight Studios. If they hadn’t beaten the Virtual Pinball recreation drum for so long and pushed into all these different places, I don’t know if there would be much of a push to recreate legacy pins in a commercial environment at all. They literally created and maintained a small portion of a dying niche industry and made it accessible to a lot of folks. And they deserve many props for that.


Erm- It's ok...

~Sacredbox~

So i have it 2 stars cuz it is actually pretty fun to play with all the different boards and stuff, but the real problem is basically NOTHING is free. You get one free wild west board, but every other pinball board is like 3-5$. So it's just not worth the money. I would go with a different game, sorry.
