### 4/5 — Closest to 3D Space Cadet Pinball

*2025-01-28, version 5.7*

Maybe add a pinball map that reminds me of 3D Space Cadet.

### 4/5 — Old style

*2025-01-21, version 5.7*

Still quick

### 4/5 — The Dragon

*2024-08-16, version 5.7*

I like the Dragon game

### 5/5 — Yaaa

*2023-12-03, version 5.7*

It’s super fun and such a w app. W app . W app. On gawddd.

### 5/5 — Everyone needs to play this!

*2023-10-10, version 5.7*

This pinball is awesome fun!  Casual game with great graphics and sound.  Lots ways to rack up points.  Very addictive!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-09-16, version 5.7*

Brought me back 55 years

### 5/5 — Like the real pinball sound

*2023-03-22, version 5.7*

I like this program pinball sounds are like good old games. Fun

### 3/5 — Playable, but sluggish at times.

*2023-02-11, version 5.7*

I’m guessing this is quite an old pinball game now, it just feels a bit tired & gloopy, even after tweaking the physics in the Settings.
Some of the earlier tables aren’t the best advert for the whole game, but I don’t know how much replay value even the later tables will have.
Still, give it a go & make up your own mind - I’m not an expert.

### 4/5 — Not The Highest Score In The Leader Board….

*2023-02-07, version 5.7*

The Bad= To Start off I feel like when I go to Select the Pinball Table that I want to play. It could be a little smoother. As when I feel that not only it Bounces Back Whenever I Swipe on the screen to go through the Various Pinball Tables, unless I apply a little pressure but also it feels a little on the chalky side. And that leads me to the Light Table Specifically, let’s face it it’s Basically a Pokémon Ripoff. And now let’s move on to the Game Play. I don’t how nor do I know why but it just feels like I’ve been Accidentally Triggering the Pause Menu as of late while playing, and keep in mind my Thumbs where way away from the Actual Pause Button. And speaking of Thumbs it be nice if mines didn’t cover most of the Flippers and thus the in coming ball, because that’s what usually leads me in to losing the current ball that I’m. I understand it can’t be helped but still I wished there was a way my Thumbs won’t be in the way with out Reducing the Screen Size. And I guess that should do it for the Negatives for now unless I’m missing anything else.

The Good= I love how each Pinball Table is Different and I’m talking more than just the Theming of each of them. I’m also talking gameplay as they all feel slightly different as to the terms of Field Experience and Challenge. I think one of the best part is the Variety of Pinball Table Options that you could choose from, oh sure it’s no where near the Amount of what Zen Pinball has to offer. But at least all of the Pinball Tables are already Unlocked with out paying Money on them. And of course that leads me to my next point and that is that the very best part about Pinball Flipper is that it’s a Free to Play App. When they could have changed us Real World Money to Unlock all of the Cool and Best Stuff including the Essentials but they didn’t they decided to leave as a Free To Play. And another thing that I really Enjoyed about this App is the Optional Vibration Function, there’s something about it….. I wouldn’t say Relaxing but makes it a little more enjoyable to play. And oh man I hope I’m not over selling the App when say that every game that I’ve played so far are so intense that I instinctively shift my entire boy in all sorts of directions in addition to my entire hand as well. Like the kids in one of those cheesy over the top Toy/Electric Game Commercials from back in the 90’s. I don’t think I could remember playing a game APL this intense. Anyways that should do it for the Positives for now unless I’m missing anything else.

### 5/5 — Fun pinball game

*2023-02-05, version 5.7*

Fun and great background music too :)

### 5/5 — Well done thank you!

*2023-02-05, version 5.7*

Anyone who likes pinball this is a very generous and satisfying pinball game.
Generous because even though it’s $12.00 for the pro version which removes all ads, it includes 12 different pinball machines. Each one is unique and enjoyable. And if you don’t want to spend the money to remove the ads, they aren’t really distracting from gameplay or overbearing. Well done!

### 5/5 — Great Gaming App 👍🏿

*2023-02-04, version 5.7*

EXCELLENT PINBALL GAMING APP !! 
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There has got to be a twist
A pinball wizard's
Got such a supple wrist

### 3/5 — Flippers don’t work!

*2023-01-13, version 5.7*

This is a great game. It is a shame the flippers do not always work. Just as the ball comes down to the bottom you will find one or both of the flippers die and you lose the ball.
I would have rated the game a 5⭐️ should this not keep happening. 
Can you please sort it out as it is annoying!

### 5/5 — Get this one, no kidding!

*2022-11-12, version 5.7*

Finally I great game you can play free, or you can own it with ads removed for only $12 and there’s 12 different pinball layouts all similar but unique! I like that this game because it’s fun, easy to play, and not like the games that charge you real money to keep playing not to mention the tracking and kickbacks they get from selling your private info! I don’t know why these games think their Hollywood stars and should get royalties on work already done and completed. Greed is blankly obvious! 
This game is great, but if you want to pay to play other games, fine, be my guest! Good games like this are rare! Most games have joined the pay to play club. You can’t buy them outright, just pay to play,  and most just simply aren’t worth it! I’d give this game 10 stars if I could!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-11-02, version 5.7*

One of the bestPaintball game  on the App Store love it good Time passerAnd I love the fact that there’s multiple tables I give it love it love it love it

### 5/5 — Pinball flipper

*2022-05-22, version 5.6*

My new favorite game is pinball flipper

### 3/5 — No table guides leave scoring and gameplay a mystery

*2022-04-02, version 5.6*

The art is great, but it’s impossible to know what is happening on the table as you play. A guide for each table showing the lanes, switches, ramps, and how they relate to the gameplay and special features would really help here. As well, the bumpers on either side of the flippers do not operate like normal pinball machines.  The ball just goes back and forth, losing speed and landing safely on the flipper. The reduces the random ball action of other games.

### 4/5 — RaiNBoW table uNiCoRN mini game is the BeST!!

*2022-03-10, version 5.6*

Best pinball app I’ve used, first discovered on my Samsung tablet, but it’s even more vibrant on the iPad. But… absolutely love the feel (like a shaking pinball machine) on my android phone!! It’s just so much better on a bigger screen. Wish it came with some individual game info/objectives. Fun to randomly discover the unicorn mini game, and the rainbow frenzy after collecting  & capturing each ROYGBIV color ball. If there’s any criticism, the BIV balls all look purple. There’s so many beautiful shades of blue, and the indigo just looks like a slightly purple version of the normal metallic ball. I’ve played the other tables (machines), but Rainbow is just the most fun, IMO.Ads are to be expected at the end of each game. I also haven’t found how to add your name/initials to the scoreboard . And, yes, the game tends to freeze up a bit much. More so on android than on iPad. Ok, maybe there’s more “criticism” than I thought, but it’s still a fun, fun game!!

### 5/5 — Pinball flipper me out

*2022-01-04, version 5.6*

I love it thank you thankyou thanku

### 1/5 — Terrible graphics

*2024-10-17, version 5.7*

I have never seen a game with worse graphics to be honest. The graphics are so off that it actually makes it more difficult to play the game and not in a fun way. Literally every other pinball game on the app store I have tried has been great. There are a great selection of machines! They’re all just poorly designed which could be improved. But until then I’m out.

### 1/5 — Plays Everythimg But The Game

*2021-06-17, version 5.6*

The flipper controls of this game keep switching to the game’s purchase page in the App Store.  No matter how you start this game, the flippers send you to this purchase page, several times during game play. I’m dumping the game from my memory as it’s just a waste of unplayable space

### 1/5 — $11.99?!?!?!??!

*2021-05-17, version 5.4*

$11.99 for no ads??!?!?!?!?!??!?

### 1/5 — Way too many ads

*2018-11-04, version 4.4*

Way too many ads

### 1/5 — Ridiculous ads all the time!

*2018-08-29, version 4.4*

Uninstalling. All you see is ads for the most part, and they stay on the screen for ages. The ball movement is unrealistically fast, meaning you keep losing. Don’t even bother installing this app.

### 1/5 — Major flaw in this game.

*2018-03-16, version 4.2*

I really like playing Pinball Flipper, but there is a major flaw in the game.

1. Use the above right flipper to push the ball upwards so that it hits just off center to the left a bit on the bottom 39k game piece.
2. The ball can then be easily caught by the same above right flipper again.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 repeatedly over and over for entire game.
4. Game play just gets boring.

Just my thoughts.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2017-07-24, version 2.8*

Constant ads with immutable sounds. Nuisance

### 1/5 — Ad Banner

*2017-04-18, version 2.3*

Banner blocks flippers. Byeeee

### 1/5 — Not working

*2017-04-17, version 2.3*

Not working in iPhone 6!

### 2/5 — Toooooo Mannnnnnyyyyyy Commmeeerrrccciiialllls!

*2021-12-08, version 5.6*

Too many commercials.

*2026-06-15, version 6.1*

Realistic play and fun layouts!

### 5/5 — Fun stuff

*2026-04-30, version 6.1*

Fun game. I get tired of slots and this is something i played  growing up and growing old at 82. Always loved pinball machines. Great for dexterity workout!  .

### 5/5 — Old skool graphics, still fun

*2025-12-20, version 6.1*

Too bad about the commercials, at least doesn’t start until the game ends. One of the better games that cater to all pinball fans alike. A skill outlet despite boring graphics; sometimes find myself resorting to this one instead of the fancy boards though…

### 5/5 — Memories⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2024-10-29, version 5.7*

This game brought back so many memories! I suggest the super breakout but pinball. Im addicted to it like I was when I was a kid.

### 5/5 — One of the best pinball games!

*2024-07-09, version 5.7*

Love this! Helps to keep me mentally sharp!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-06-11, version 5.7*

The closest to a real pinball machine that I’ve ever played!

### 5/5 — Authentic pinball action

*2024-04-28, version 5.7*

I love this game. Reminds me of the old machine games.

Nostalgia

### 5/5 — Very fun pinball game!

*2024-04-22, version 5.7*

Plenty of tables to play and my favorite is rthe brick breaking table! My only complaint is to remove ads $11.99 is a bit steep and for that price I will watch the ads. They are quick and get back to the game quickly! Worth the download and play!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-04-03, version 5.7*

I absolutely love this games or should I say games. I loved pinball growing up and now I can have it on my iPad. This is just a fantastic game and offers so much many options to play, who wouldn’t love it. Thanks for putting such a wonderful, take me back to my crazy years games.

### 5/5 — Pinball wizard

*2023-12-29, version 5.7*

The games are really fun and the developer did a great job on the designs and graphics… The ads are not bad as some say and don’t bother me at all.. My only recommendation is it does not say how much it costs to buy it to remove the ads.. If it is one charge and how much, or is it monthly.. Thank you for the fun games.
