still does not save settings changes
Ryan23us
change nudge type to swipe, when you restart the game, it changes back to default (touch) behind the scenes, but still shows "swipe" in the menu. So if you like swipe you have to toggle it back and forth every time you restart. sent video and multiple emails to dev team. seems like a simple glitch to fix???
STAR TREK AND AC/DC ARE AMAZING!
Jayhawks Rule!
STAR TREK especially....GOES WHERE NO PINBALL TABLE HAS GONE BEFORE! This Star Trek table is the BEST PINBALL TABLE I HAVE EVER PLAYED, and I own all of your PA and SPA tables! $9.99 for one table is a bit high. I've obviously been a loyal customer since I own all of your Pinball Arcade tables. I've been paying $4.99 as each one has come out. And $4.99 is plenty per table, especially when Zen Pinball charges usually $1.99 per table and sometimes $0.99 per table. Granted your costs are probably higher than Zen's. But now to ask almost $10 per table seems a bit too much. Look, I love what you guys do. I'm sure it takes tremendous work to do what you do. You should be applauded...and thanked. At $4.99, I will continue to be a loyal customer. As far as your tables themselves go, Stern and Pinball Arcade is unsurpassed! Brilliant work! One thing on the AC/DC table though, I have the camera set to roam, but when the ball is at the top, the camera remains fixed. I would like to see the top of the table a bit too. That's all...kudos to the best gaming on IOS!
Beat my score!

These are a few of the tables I love to play, but please recreate tables like, "World Poker Tour", "Elvis", "Lord of the Rings", "Monopoly", and "Pirates of the Caribbean"!!
Cross buy not working
twopiearr
The description claims that several tables I already own in Pinball Arcade should have cross buy. This app doesn't recognize my purchases, and the Restore Purchases option does nothing. As an aside - why does this app implement its own, odd, tiny little internal keyboard instead of just using the system hooks to the iPad's own keyboard? The use of the internal keyboard is awkward and slow, to say nothing of the impossibility of verifying that you're typing your password correctly.
Light please!

Update October 2017. Ipad Air running v11. No update from Farsight since my last posting a month ago. Still unplayable because the data box is virtually unreadable. This is not a user error. I have tried all brightness settings. Piball Arcade looks fine. It is only the Stern app, and it is on EVERY table. What a shame, if this was fixed I would give it 6 stars if I could. That is how good this should be. Come on, I paid my money. Fix this!!! ........... Huge fan of both apps. Have all tables. Dont play this at all as the score and info box is much too dark, so much it is basically unreadable. Has been that way for months. Dont you play your games? How could you miss this, and then not fix it immediately your customers have told you? I am not the firsto notify you. I would be furious if I was Stern. It is unplayable. Update: Still not fixed, and new poblems arose. The biggest one is AC/DC doesn't work any more. You guys have great talent, but you are spreading yourself way too thin. You are supporting too many platforms with few too programmers (ouya, really). Tables are released every single month on Pinball Arcade with obvious bugs, making it appear they are released before final testing. You may think people would rather have a table a little buggy but every month, then have to wait longer for a bug free version, but I assure you we will wait. My guess is you need the revenue monthy, but I decided I am waiting now until I hear the tables work right.
Fun

Star Trek is fun, but the directions on how to play crash the app. AC/DC is fun, but it starts without the music often and the app has to be restarted to fix.
Bugs right now
Lightning Flip
Edit: I can not purchase Ghostbusters, due to network connection error, probably on Farsights end. Please fix and I'll change my rating back to a 4. The next issues is a ball control joystick now present in all games. Stern makes the absolute best pinball machines and Farsight has done a great job bringing the machines to digital format. No problems purchasing or running DLC table pack 1, however, unable to purchased Table pack 2 resulting in the app just closing. Star Trek and AC/DC are amazing. The lighting effects on the multicolor LEDs in Star Trek are the best I've seen on a virtual game and the sounds are fantastic. It makes me happy that Stern partnered with FarSight. Hi-roller Casino has some artistic errors on both the back glass and table on the backlight portions making words unreadable. Ripley's Special won't light even though it's active. Gameplay- outstanding flipper physics and acceptable ball physics. No 'english' implemented on ball. Missing Standard features - No 2-4 player options. Why can't I play this with a friend? Missing camera angles of firing the cannon view in AC/DC, no events camera option. No pro options like TPA. I want pro tips and the ability to explore the table and view the back glass.
The flippers problems are still there.

It's so frustrating when I try hold the flippers up the flippers will drop the ball I really need ball control Stern Pinball Arcade just like Pinball Arcade.i enjoy Star Trek Pinball the only problem is the ball control is not working.
