This is very nostalgic
I remember playing it
Can’t see the DMD
Cool tables and smooth/realistic ball movement, but nearly impossible to actually progress through modes in any of the games without being able to see the table’s display. No matter which view is picked, the DMD/table screen is almost completely buried by the iPhone Dynamic Island. Please fix this so the games can actually be enjoyed!

I Lost all my classic Games
Pretty much in the earlier stages of this game when they used to carry all the classics from Williams and Bally, I had purchased packages where I had Funhouse, Black Knight, whirlwind and a whole bunch of other great ones and then it did one of these mandatory updates and then I lost all of those games that I paid for. Then I hear well, we lost our licensing for those games so we had to remove them. That’s all well and good but I should be grandfathered in. I already paid for those games and you took my money for those said games.. You losing the licensing should not matter to me because I had already paid for those games. Those manufacturers change license ownership all the time. So does that mean people who purchased a real pinball machines need to turn the machines back in? It’s not like you guys did anything to make it right for those of us who lost games we already paid for. We should be compensated with games that you do carry as a result of it with no additional charges accrued. They should never have been removed. That’s just bad customer service and you should not take peoples money for something that you couldn’t let us continue to own.

Took my money
I paid for several games in this app. I recently had to buy a new phone. Bought the games on my other iPhone and bought a new iPhone. After downloading the app to my new phone I only have the one boring free game that you start out with when first downloading the app. I had 24 out of 48 games originally. Same account and now I have only 1 of 38. Preparing to report a fraud here if this isn’t corrected very soon.

Too much focus on sound - no pinball experience
There's no clear pinball focus, no clear targets just lots of sound & vague graphics. The Star Trek game was annoying, lots of audio from the movie but no clear plan. There has to be a user challenge to hit targets not just lots of sound.
Best Pinball Simulator for iOS
I have played all the pinball apps available and Pinball Arcade is by far my favourite (sorry Zen). I’m fortunate to have legacy tables from when they had licensing. However even the current tables play really well.
It’s ok
You can’t see the score on your iPhone. Surely one of the most fundamental themes of pinball. I’m not saying I could do any better but you need to fix this. The Gotleib machines are awesome replicas right down to the super wide drain gates and guts. A game of skill they used to say but more like skill and a lot of luck. It would be great if you could secure the license for the late 80s Bally machines. My feedback is constructive and not meant to be critical. The machines are by and large a pretty good effort. Keep up the work.😊

I tried….
I tried playing this..but it only worked for shooting the ball out..I couldn’t figure out how to get the flippers to move.
It’s Time
Update badly needed. Bring up some more classic 70s tables.
Best Pinball Sim By Far
I own every table, dating back to when they had nearly 100, and I still play all the time. It’s like having dozens of your own pinball machines, and they play like the real machines.
Tip: Use a controller. I found it impossible to nudge on the touch screen, but with a controller it is second-nature. Use the controller triggers for the flippers and it’s the next best thing to standing in the arcade. Also, use a 13” iPad, phones don’t do it justice. They also have a PC app which is awesome.
This game is criminally underrated , probably due to the free players who represent 20% of the revenue and 80% of the problems.
Buy the tables like a normal person, pay these people for their incredible work, don’t always try to play for free; the experience is way better.
Trust me, this is a 6 star app if ever there was one, at least if you can throw a few dollars at a table, which is a steal to carry around a $12,000 pinball machine in your pocket.

Disappointed
To many ads especially in the middle of a game
Completely broken on new iPhones
It does not appear this app is receiving any more bug fixes or updates. It does not work properly on modern iPhones. The UI is completely unusable.
Purchased tables do not download
I purchased Pinball Arcade many years ago and it has worked well and I own many of the older tables. Recently I purchased a new table pack and many of the games in the table pack did not download and were not playable. I contacted the game publisher through their website and through the Apple App Store but did not receive a response. I followed some instructions on the publisher website to fix the issue but they did not work. I think it is dishonest to sell tables that will not install correctly. If you download the app, don’t expect purchases to install correctly and you maybe stuck with an unusable game.

Great game but a major flaw
On “bonus rounds” at the end of the game when the extra pinballs fall the flippers never work and you end the game and miss out on extra points. This happens on multiple machines like Doctor Who and basically any machine that has that type of gameplay. I’ve tried to pause the game and start it again to see if it would reset the flippers to work but that rarely helps.

Love this game
This game is really good! I will change my review to 5 star if you can fix the dmd issue with IPhone 16 as it’s behind the camera. Playing pinball without being able to see the score and what mode you are in is terrible.
What Happened?
Bogus pinball physics compared to two decades ago, but it’s still the best pinball video game.
Orientation freaks out
The score is cut off by the phones camera and if you try to rotate your phone to landscape the app freaks out and the image quickly flips and distorts. The only way out is to turn on and off the phone just to try to quit.
MOST REALISTIC VIDEO PINBALL EVER CREATED!!
I am an owner of 95 out of 99 tables! I’ve been playing for years. This is the most realistic pinball you will ever experience aside from actual pinball machines. These games were created from actual real tables. The physics of these tables function like their real world counterparts! It’s really amazing and worth every Penny. I pray that the creator of these tables will keep it being offered in the App Store. I don’t understand how this can’t be 4.8 or higher. Did those who rated it lower actually play the tables!!
