Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Can you add a ai for Apple Watch user *2019-12-28, version 3.0* And also it crashes when ever you tap on the screen (on Apple Watch) ### 2/5 — It’s only multiplayer😕 *2018-06-14, version 1.1.2* It’s not vs a computer please change this😭😞 ### 3/5 — Good *2018-01-07, version 1.1.1* Would be better if you could play against the CPU. No option but to play against another opponent. ### 2/5 — Has potential *2017-11-03, version 1.0* It has the potential to be a good game, but the issue is moving the paddles using my thumbs. Because the paddles are so close to the edge of the screen, my thumbs tend to cover the paddles and makes it difficult to judge where they are. ### 4/5 — Just Pong *2017-08-29, version 1.0* So this game is sometimes relaxing but playing for 5 or 25 minutes the sounds it kind of gets annoying and when you realize you've been playing for so long you say what are you doing right now..... but I just play this when I'm bored ### 5/5 — It is PONG *2017-01-20, version 1.0* You naysayers just don't get it. No, there is no menu. There are no settings. The opponent paddle won't move itself, THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER PERSON TO MOVE IT. Either that or you play yourself with both hands. It is literally just pong, exactly like the old game. Same mechanism, same rules. There's no fancy CPUs you can play or any menu to change settings. Besides, what settings would you change? It's just Pong, plain and simple, not some big app like Clash of Clans. I like it, and I love the idea. I've been looking for this app for a while. THANK YOU for making this app. ### 1/5 — Not even close *2016-11-21, version 1.0* Ok, it looks and sounds like a pong game and that's cool. But man, there's no menu, no reset, no restart, no single player mode, no intro....... It turns a good idea I to a bad game. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2016-10-13, version 1.0* Would be a great example of this game if it actually worked, but ball randomly resets to centre of screen and game keeps resetting scores, very frustrating. ### 3/5 — Ok *2016-09-05, version 1.0* It is a two player game There is no settings so you can't change that Over all the game is ok ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nice idea, BUT… *2023-10-17, version 4.1* 1. Unable to put game in silent mode. Had my iPhone silenced, but game STILL made sounds. Not good. 2. Old Pong had a play against the computer mode. I was surprised I had to operate BOTH paddles. If both these items were fixed, I’d give it 5 stars. Also, the “App Support” page gives a 404 error - page not found . So much for trying to contact the developer. UPDATE: The developer got back to me, that the robot is only for the Apple Watch, but could be added to iphone if people like. Shouldn’t let the app be published if it’s not ready. Would love to see SOMEONE ELSE put forth a PONG app like the OLD pong, where you could truly play in one-player mode. For added humor - the apple response ( not directly from the developer) is a “no_response” email from Apple. So the email wasn’t from the developer. And Apple included a “link” to contact the developer - which goes directly to a 404 page not found error. Plus the developers haven’t bothered to update their 404 page either. Would re-rate this as -17 ### 1/5 — Nice idea, BUT… *2023-09-24* 1. Unable to put game in silent mode. Had my iPhone silenced, but game STILL made sounds. Not good. 2. Old Pong had a play against the computer mode. I was surprised I had to operate BOTH paddles. If both these items were fixed, I’d give it 5 stars. Also, the “App Support” page gives a 404 error - page not found . So much for trying to contact the developer. **Developer response:** maybe you'll like the update, not sure what happened with the sound and the robot is only for watch but could also be updated for iPhone if people like. ### 1/5 — Really bad *2019-06-22, version 2.1* They have not put the work into this app...The bat gets jammed when playing on iPhone...Does not respond well and you will keep missing due to response to your finger on screen...Don’t waste your dollar...You would get more entertainment in screwing up your dollar into a ball and practicing basketball with it...Using the garbage basket as the net...Or just donate a dollar to charity! ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother !!!!! *2018-12-15, version 2.0* The app locks up and I have to restart my phone to get it to work. You can’t really manage the paddles well...gets frustrating. Waste of a $1. Apple refund !!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Simple *2018-08-18, version 1.1.2* I would like to turn volume off but it can not be do. I will be asking for my money back. Any app that makes you pay before you test the usibility is a rip! Apple pleas refund my money! ### 1/5 — This is not for 1 player. *2018-01-17, version 1.1.1* This was a waste of $1.99. Why would you want to play as both players? You need a 1 player setting. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2017-11-29, version 1.0* you have to play with 2 people on an iPhone - we’ll thought out guys. ### 1/5 — Cant play music *2017-10-31, version 1.0* You cant listen in app. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — Awful. *2017-05-06, version 1.0* Slow, no playing against the computer, just boring and terrible. ### 1/5 — Crap *2017-02-09, version 1.0* Play breakout instead, this is poor ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful classic pong on the watch *2024-10-27, version 4.1* The only pong I could find on the watch that is clean and classic. There does seem to be a small bug on the watch where if you drag your finger on the screen it will scroll the whole screen, and then the crown will no longer control the paddle and also scroll the screen. You have to restart the app to fix ### 5/5 — best pure pong on App Store *2023-10-17, version 4.1* It's obvious that the developer had taken great care to product the purest, simplest take on this classic game concept. What a delight to be able to play it on the whole ranges of devices including Apple Watch! ### 5/5 — Pong by any other name, shall ping as sweetly *2018-09-11, version 1.1.2* I’d forgotten how much fun it was, Pong. Simplicity of design when the original Pong was created was forced by the limits of the available technology. There were no gilded play fields and flying monkeys and annoying background soundtracks. There was only a black screen, a white dot, and two lines for paddles. There was only Pong! ### 5/5 — Simplicity *2018-01-24, version 1.1.1* This is a nice escape - no ads, no rewards, coins, tournaments, etc. It’s simple and analog like Sector 33. ### 5/5 — PONG!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 *2017-07-21, version 1.0* I've been trying to find as many arcade games on the App Store as I can this is the first one not many people make the complete original. I recommend you get just good old pong. ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-07-08, version 1.0* Really Fun And Addictive ### 5/5 — Graphics *2017-04-14, version 1.0* Wow, these graphics are incredible! 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Love this early 70's game *2017-04-09, version 1.0* It's not the same but not expected to be. It's fun that I can play by myself and it brings back good memories because this was an original and all we had. For the person that said it was bad. Make one with bells yourself! Let's see how you do with that because on at iPhone it works great. ### 5/5 — Ok but... *2017-03-21, version 1.0* I love everything about don't change nun except plz add a multiplayer plz that's all it needs to be perfect ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-02-22, version 1.0* Very simple but fun. And free. Two thumbs-up 👍👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
