### 2/5 — Broken. Was great but no longer works properly.

*2026-06-18, version 8.1.12*

I've been a huge fan of Pinball Arcade since it was released and own 98 out of the 100 tables that have been released over the years. It worked fine until, well, it seems Farsight studios have abandoned it - the app has not been updated for years and consequently, it no longer works properly on newer devices even though the app page says my new phone is supported.

On my 17 Pro Max...

(1) The app loads OK and tables can be played in portrait mode but... the screen is distorted and vertically stretched.

(2) Load a table, turn the phone into landscape mode and there is no start button. Move the phone into portrait mode and the button appears but turn back to landscape and the app breaks - it continually switches between landscape and portrait and you can't get out of the app. The only way out is to lock and unlock the phone, then quickly swipe up and kill it the app in the app selector. 

(3) Some of the tables refuse to complete downloading. The AC/DC and Ghostbusters tables start to download, get about 80% of the way then the download starts again, gets to 80% and starts again, and so on... The downloads for these tables are broken and people can't access these tables they have paid for.

This is a poor show by Farsight - people will have paid hundreds of pounds purchasing tables over the years and have been let down by lack of fixes, yet Far sight still sells the app and tables on the app store.

Farsight - either fix the app so it works on newer devices which your app page says it is compatible with, or withdraw it from the app store for those devices it doesn't work on.

### 5/5 — No added JUDGE DREDD! So 5⭐️!

*2026-04-28, version 8.1.12*

Love pinball arcade, to have Judge Dredd would make it a complete app for me. 5 stars now as they’ve added JD

### 1/5 — Enganação

*2026-01-04*

Tenho a versão gratuita
Que é a mesma coisa desta que foi paga
Pensei que teria mais mesas,mesmo tendo visto os comentários resolvi arriscar,mas fui enganado assim como todos
Querem dinheiro fácil fazendo os consumidores de trouxa

### 1/5 — Leider nicht mehr gepflegt

*2025-09-11*

Gekaufte Tische sind weg, die Menüführung ist antik und die Musik nervt. Schade drum! Nicht mehr empfehlenswert.

### 3/5 — Issue with downloading some purchased games

*2025-09-06, version 8.1.12*

I tried to download my purchased games, but ran into a problem with the AC/DC and Ghostbusters boards. The downloads just keep looping and nothing completes. Other game boards are fine though.

Server issue? License issue?

### 1/5 — Black Screens on Load iPhone 14 Pro Max

*2025-09-05, version 8.1.12*

Completely unplayable, I get a black screen with music when I launch

### 5/5 — Own 57 tables and this app is still the best!

*2025-06-28, version 8.1.12*

I hope the developers keep this app rolling forever, it really should be tied to a world pinball museum with benefactors donating the cost of licenses so we can play every table ever created. They do an amazing job of getting the tables authentically reproduced for iPad and phone… on my iPad Pro it’s surreal and fun playing so many of my favorite tables. It is sad that they lost the licenses for many tables and new customers can’t buy as many as we did when this started… but for everyone who loves pinball, the developer continues to make sure the app and tables work great...I’m sure their excellence will be rewarded in what ever comes next!

### 4/5 — Need iPhone 18 notch support

*2025-03-10, version 8.1.12*

Can you  please add support so that the score can be seen on iPhones with the Dynamic Island? It can’t be removed from the screen.

Thanks!

### 1/5 — Tables that I bought are gone

*2025-01-19, version 8.1.12*

All of the tables that I purchased are gone. Apparently they lost the license with Ballys Midway and are not allowed to have those games anymore. Meanwhile I bought those games and they were taken away. I will never pay for another game from them since they can take it away any time. I think they should offer refunds or at least credit to buy new games. What a waste of money.

### 2/5 — Plus???

*2025-01-04*

Aucune différence avec pinball arcade gratuit. En payant je pensais avoir accès à plus de tables, il n’en est rien. Dommage car Pinball arcade est par ailleurs un bon jeu fluide sur mon iPad 6.
