So please fix the issue!!!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this, and sorry - the problem is real and it is not something you are doing wrong. Several players have told us the game locks up when restarting or returning to the menu after a game ends, and we are investigating it. Until it is fixed, closing and reopening the app is the only workaround we can offer, which we know is not good enough. The one thing that would genuinely help is your iPhone model and iOS version, plus whether it happens on a particular table: reproducing it reliably is the piece we are still missing. Please send that to support@appholdings.org, which reaches us directly. ### 3/5 — They are great games *2026-05-10* The game freezes. Also I paid for the first 4 or 5 games ans looks like am having to repurchase them, which i don’t agree with. I can say they sure have expanded their library of games🎈❤️ **Developer response:** Two separate problems here, and neither should cost you anything. Your tables are not gone: table purchases are permanent and tied to your Apple ID. Open the table purchase screen and tap Restore, and the games you already paid for come back at no charge - you should never be asked to buy the same table twice in the same app. One thing that catches people out: Pinball HD Collection and Pinball HD Collection for iPhone are two separate apps with separate purchases, so tables bought in one will not restore in the other. On the freezing, you are not imagining it - other players have reported the game locking up when a game ends and we are working on it. If anything is still missing after Restore, email support@appholdings.org and we will help you directly. Thank you for the kind words about the library. ### 4/5 — Not free *2025-10-05* It is a good game but all but one of them are paid for so you can only play Wild West pinball ### 2/5 — エラーの修正をお願いします。 *2025-09-23* 久しぶりに遊ぼうと思ったら、 「The operation couldn't be completed. (Cocoa error -1.)」とエラーが出てほとんどのステージが遊べなくなりました。一時的なエラーかもしれませんが、修正早くお願いします！ **Developer response:** ご報告ありがとうございます。また、お返事が大幅に遅くなり申し訳ございません。「The operation couldn't be completed. (Cocoa error -1.)」は、テーブルのダウンロードが途中で中断され、不完全なファイルが残ったことが原因でした。この問題はアップデートで修正済みです（ダウンロードを検証し、失敗した場合は再試行できるようになりました）。App Store で最新版に更新してから、購入画面で「Restore（購入の復元）」をタップしてください。購入済みのテーブルは Apple ID に紐づく永続的な購入ですので、追加料金はかかりません。それでも解決しない場合は support@appholdings.org までご連絡ください。 ### 4/5 — STILL A LOT OF FUN!! *2025-09-08* The video pinball games were created by Far Sight Studios. It’s a shame that they are no longer creating new tables. They made exact REAL pinball tables from actual real life tables. HOWEVER, the GAMEPRON simulation tables were groundbreaking at the time. I still play them. PLEASE continue to KEEP THIS IN THE APP STORE!! They are fun to play on my iPhone. ### 4/5 — Purchased all tables 7/2025 *2025-08-02, version 1.41* I have trouble with screens freezing after completing each game with no option to continue to main menu. No response from developer when messages are sent. Last update on this app was 11 months ago. Has this been a $27 purchase mistake? ### 2/5 — iPadで遊べる環境では無い *2025-04-05* iPadでも遊べるようにして下さい ### 4/5 — Mutable *2024-12-04* I wish you could play all the boards ### 2/5 — Bien fait… mais… bloqué par la pub ! *2023-08-02* J’ai acheté il y a quelques temps toutes les versions de flippers, malheureusement plus de suivi, bloqué par la pub donc plus de scores… Bien dommage ! ### 5/5 — One of my faves *2023-05-27* Glad to see it back ### 5/5 — Very tactile and fun. *2022-12-12* Great physics, fun tables, can't get enough of those guys! ### 5/5 — Pinball game *2022-09-28, version 1.40* I love this game and it helps me kill down time at work 😄😄😄😄 ### 3/5 — Wild West *2022-09-25, version 1.40* Just ok. Could be made a little livelier. ### 3/5 — Great game *2022-07-08, version 1.40* No support can’t buy tables. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Many Problems with purchase *2025-03-28, version 1.41* Purchased all tables in a bundle price of $39.99 but asking me to repay each time go to play. Also tables error codes come up when downloading . Seems to be a scam to try and get money over and over again. Made a complaint but still waiting for a reply. ### 1/5 — Collection pinball *2024-11-15, version 1.41* The company Gameprom does not answer any questions ect.I been trying 2 weeks without any reply’s.I been laying these pinball games over 10 years.And no the restore button does not work.Just trying to get what I had PAID for. ### 1/5 — ダウンロード *2024-10-20* 暫くやらないとDownloadになるが今回はDownload自体出来なくなったので遊べなくなった……悲しい ### 1/5 — The worst update *2024-08-21, version 1.41* This is the worst update for an app I’ve ever seen More lag and latency in the game The game is going crazy All the previous problems still there I need someone to tell me one positive thing in this update ### 1/5 — APP not working *2023-10-22, version 1.40* Your app will not work on my 2023 Ipad ### 1/5 — Não funciona no iphone12 ios16.5 *2023-06-13* Tenho há anos este app e adorava mas agora não funciona mais. Ele simplesmente fecha quando você vai usar. Perdi minhas compras e não consigo nem entrar na opção de store ou comunicar erros. Já enviei p a Apple o problema e não recebi retorno. Acho que o desenvolvedor abandonou as atualizações do app ### 1/5 — DRECK *2021-04-20* MAN KAN ÜBERHAUPT KEINE TISCHE KAUFEN, TOTALER SCHROTT ### 1/5 — Purchases don’t work *2021-04-02* You start off with one free map and then you can trial others but can’t actually buy them. Got bored of playing the same map over and over. Not worth it ### 1/5 — Not possible to purchase tables *2021-04-01, version 1.40* At least here in the US, table purchases aren’t possible. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-12-23* Advertising as free and first table is but this is quite boring then you get a quick taste of any table before you are directed to be able to carry on you must buy the table. This is a pay to play game masquerading as a free to play ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Da Vinci Pinvall *2026-05-11, version 1.41* My favorite game of all series of pinball. History and inventions in a pinball game. Congratulations to the team of developers!!! ### 5/5 — Muito bom! *2026-05-10* Apenas trava na hora que o jogo termina, tendo que sair do jogo e voltar. Mas é muito bom Inda mais quando compartilhado na TV. **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo comentário, e desculpe pela demora em responder. O travamento no fim da partida, que obriga a fechar e reabrir o jogo, é um bug real do nosso lado - não é problema da sua instalação, por isso reinstalar não ajuda. Conseguimos reproduzi-lo aqui pela primeira vez e estamos trabalhando nele, mas não vamos prometer uma data que não podemos cumprir. Por favor, não apague e reinstale o app para contornar isso. Se alguma mesa que você comprou aparecer bloqueada, abra a tela de compra de mesas dentro do jogo e toque em Restore, no topo - as compras ficam ligadas ao seu Apple ID e voltam sem custo.

It’s been tricky when playing on my iPhone but when I’d get into it and get it balanced just right to play it was enjoyable. I have aging eyes and hands, some arthritis so playing on the phone was’t always as easy as I’d like. I recently got my first IPad and now can play better and longer! YEAH! I LOVE pinball, I even owned a very old model pinball machine decades ago; So having a full-size pinball machine game on my iPad/ phone without dropping coins outside the home is wonderful. I play the Wild West mostly. Just try these games yourself you won’t be sorry. ### 5/5 — Alles Top *2025-01-08* Habe das Spiel seit über 10 Jahren und es ist immer schön ### 5/5 — ya *2024-11-19* very cool game ### 5/5 — Pinball collection *2024-08-24, version 1.41* Very fun ### 5/5 — The best PINBALL *2024-08-23* Es gibt meiner Meinung nach kein besseres auf dem Markt ### 5/5 — Best out there *2024-05-23* I am old school boomer and I have enjoyed countless hours playing these tables. Sometimes there are glitches for sure which can be frustrating but overall the experience is a good one. Well done graphics and gameplay. Happy to not have to put quarters into the machine constantly like the old days. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-11-16, version 1.40* Love it best thing ever --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
