Need to fix bugs and get MORE PINBALL STAGES!!!!!
Can't Start

The app starts fine, but all I get is an empty board with an arrow pointing offscreen that says 'add new players'
Good, the problems are getting fixed, but a new problem just occurred
Reed's amazing iPod
The problems are getting fixed. The ball is barely falling through the flippers and flipper lanes now, and other things also are being fixed, but a new problem just occurred. There are a couple of rows of targets in the pinball, but sometimes when I shoot the ball at the targets, it sticks the targets! It's been happening for two weeks, and they STILL haven't fixed it! And that's very unrealistic, which kind of ruins the effect. And I have to quit when this happens. I thought they would have fixed it by now. Second, this is not a new problem. It has been a problem for soooooooo long. There is only ONE game. It's really dumb, because there's space for FOUR games. Please add more pinball machines. PLEASE UPDATE. But one more thing, this thing is positive to app this time. There's these idiots that think you have to TAP the screen to add players. I have saw reviews that go like this: "The loading works perfectly, the getting into the game works perfectly, but when I tap the screen on add players to start, it doesn't work!" That's because you have have to PRESS the button on the front of the game cousle for it to start, idiots!
Couldn't start

This game is crap. When I tried to start it, it said press to add player but there was nothing to press and I couldn't Ben start one game of pinball.
Great idea, so-so execution

Don't bother installing this app unless you have the New Potato pinball table appcessory, because it won't work without it! If you have the appcessory, make sure your IOS device is seated into it properly, because otherwise the app may not work or you may get an "unsupported accessory" error. I love the concept behind this game + appcessory combo, and the pinball table appcessory itself is very cool. I will often use it when playing other pinball apps, because it looks great and actually makes the gameplay a little better by giving your hands more to hold onto (I have an iPod Touch). I just wish it offered some user-configurable support for other pinball apps so that the lights, plunger, and/or buttons would do something. The main weakness is the app itself. Very buggy ball physics, with the ball often hanging at bumpers or going right through the flippers. Happens all the time. Also, it's a shame that the developers haven't released more tables other than the one included included with the app. I'd buy them, even with the known bugs, because the appcessory makes this a fun experience. Would be wonderful to see an update that addresses these issues. On the positive side, the look of the table in the app itself is great...has a classic feel of the tables from the late '60s - early '70s. I love the sounds and music, too...really adds a lot to the experience. Overall, despite the problems, I would recommend this if you're a pinball fan.
Broken Promises

I've had this for almost 2 years now and we've yet to get anything the company promised us - still multiple "locked tables" on the main screen, so we only have one table on which we an do NOTHING that the side of the box promises - slap saves, drop stops, flipper transfers - what a joke. None of that is possible. What I REALLY want is what was promised before this app came out - comparability with other pinball games. Apparently "rights issues" are holding things up. Not cool. This device looks cool but is worthless.
Update
Dan the cool man
What's in the upgrade? NOTHING!!! Problems No New Tables For Like 2 Years Now Also you HAVE TO BUY THE BASE for $10-$20 (plus tax). Waste of money but it still works at least. And the people who says "The 'Add Players' button points offscreen and it doesn't work at all!" It does... you need to buy the freaking table!!! STUPiD HEaDZ
Please

I'm getting tired of this game because there is only one pinball machine theme to use. Please make more.
Can't even play

I can't get past this 'add more players' thing. Nothing responds except the option of quitting the game. I'm disappointed.
