However, I have no reason to buy anything since you stopped adding new tables. Especially since the app was still fairly new. I live in hope Zen reverses this decision & I’m not made of stone. I get their thinking on it. But again, pulling the plug on game support so soon after introducing it was a kick in the teeth for folks who were over the moon to have new tables. Especially fans of Williams/Bally games like me. ### 3/5 — Falhas a corrigir *2026-08-10* Eu ganho várias bolas extras no Medieval Madness e essas bolas nunca chegam. E quando acaba o jogo é dá match na dezena deveria continuar o jogo de onde parou igual no pinball real. **Developer response:** Olá, Pedimos desculpa pelo incómodo. Vamos encaminhar o seu relatório para a equipa, para que possam começar a trabalhar numa solução para o problema. O ecrã de números correspondentes (“match”) nas máquinas Williams atribui um crédito gratuito, não sendo utilizado para bolas extra. Esta funcionalidade podia dar recompensas nas máquinas reais, mas na aplicação Williams Pinball decidimos incluí-la para manter as mesas o mais autênticas possível, uma vez que todas as tentativas são gratuitas nestas mesas. Obrigado! Hi, we apologize for the inconvenience. We'll forward your report to the team, who can start working on finding a solution to the problem. The matching numbers screen on Williams machines awards a free credit, it is not used for extra balls. This feature could be rewarding on real tables, but in the Williams Pinball app, we included it to keep the tables as authentic as possible, as every try is free on these tables. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Nudging needs work *2026-08-02, version 1.8.1* mechanics of this game are pretty good, the animations are OK if not distracting. The nudge mechanism is laggy and compared to other emulators could use some work. Won’t be easily saving a drain using the swipe nudge mechanism this emulator provides. ### 2/5 — Desperately needs optimization *2026-07-20, version 1.8.1* I love Williams pinball tables, I have every table on the PC version. I was very happy to see that Zen was finally making a single unified app for all their tables, and it works great on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. However, when I went to try it on my iPad Pro 12.9in 4th Gen, the game looks and runs horribly. On the iPad, it looks like the game is capped at 30fps all the time. It's hard to scroll through the table list, much less play the game. I loaded up Funhouse (No Williams VFX), as it's my baseline table for trying a new Pin game, and it looked horrible. It honestly looks closer to the Wii version of Williams Pinball Arcade than the same table on Zen Williams Pinball. The resolution is severely cut, the models and lighting look considerably worse, and it's still stuck at 30FPS!!!!! It's a shame, because this same table on this same device on the Zen Williams Pinball app looks incredible, and at 120fps! If the tables on this app ran just as good as the tables in the Zen Williams Pinball app, I'd honestly be tempted to repurchase most of my PC tables on the iPad so I can have them on the go. It's really a shame, because if the iPad performance was as good as their other app, this would be the quintessential mobile pinball app. ### 3/5 — Touch controls make me want to scream. *2026-07-15, version 1.8.1* I want to give this five stars, but the tap area is so tiny that controlling the flippers is a nightmare. You’ll lose half the balls in any given game because the flippers didn’t flip. And it’s so much worse now because you can’t just start the game over, you gotta watch a friggin ad. I’ve been a Zen customer for almost a decade now and I know they can do it right, so why is this one so egregious? ### 4/5 — Truly Great Pinball On The Go! *2026-07-07, version 1.8.1* Really love this game. The tables look amazing and I love that you can play and full game in any table by watching a (comparatively) short ad. But the ones you like, or don’t. Great system. My only complaint is that it is on a phone and even with all the different views it can be hard to see all the details. I’m on a Promax and it still kinda hard to see at times. But hey you know it’s still good. ### 2/5 — Good But Unsupported *2026-07-05, version 1.8.1* Feels like an unnecessary upgrade from their previous platform Zen Pinball. After only a year Zen Studios announced they aren’t going to support this with new tables (or sales it seems). Good luck with [checks notes] VR instead. Biz stuff aside, solid mobile pinball game. My only complaint is the flipper reaction time when using a controller and mirrored to Apple TV 4K. ### 2/5 — Missing tables from previous apps *2026-06-25, version 1.8.0* It's a great pinball app. There seems to be a problem or a bug with trying to integrate previously purchased tables from past apps. Hope it gets cleared up. ### 4/5 — Très satisfait *2026-06-09, version 1.8.0* Bonjour, Je suis joueur sur l app Williams et je salue l initiative de pouvoir importer nos tables( merci plus besoin d avoir 2 app). Si seulement un jour entre mobile et pc… Très satisfait des fonctionnalités de cette app. La physique de la bille peut être plus arcade.(si vous pouvez rajouter des option de gestion de la physique) Merci pour votre travail. ### 4/5 — Very nice *2026-05-19, version 1.8.0* Missing only rumble support when playing with controller. ### 2/5 — Frustrant *2026-05-12, version 1.8.0* Physique des flippers bien rendue mais le jeu plante souvent, même sur le dernier IPad, parfois au bout d’une heure ou moins, extrêmement frustrant. ### 3/5 — Great games, rough performance and programming *2026-05-05, version 1.8.0* Its pinball! zen studios is known for solid physics and implementation and they have earned that reputation. most tables are perfect and wonderful to play, though some action buttons are broken and the wizard mode of arabian nights is broken due to the launch system :/. second lost star is from occasional crashes, though performance might have improved with the update ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-04-12, version 1.8.0* Fun to play, easy to understand, helps me learn how to play these machines for when I go to the arcade. ### 2/5 — Bugs borderline unbearable *2026-04-08, version 1.8.0* A great simulator and fun, but there are so many bugs. About 10% of my launches end in the ap crashing. To make it more frustrating, there are silly bugs that don’t pop up UNTIL you get to some of the wizard modes. (Good luck battling the genie with only your left flipper!) ### 4/5 — FXFXFX *2026-04-02, version 1.8.0* Pinball lets GO! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible lag *2026-07-14, version 1.8.1* Game unplayable, lag between flippers is unbelievable ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes. Deleted my entire history. *2026-06-17, version 1.8.0* App constantly crashes especially when ad plays no way to return back to game but they get the click to the ad. Complete scam!! When it updated it erased my entire history and all my accomplishments WTF! ### 1/5 — Kugeln im Multiball auf einem Flipperfinger halten, geht nicht *2026-05-30* Wie soll der Spieler da zB beim Black Knight auf die 8 Mio. kommen? **Developer response:** Bonjour, Pourriez-vous développer un peu plus ce point, s'il vous plaît ? Pourquoi n'êtes-vous pas en mesure de retenir les billes sur un flipper pendant un multibille ? Merci pour votre avis ! Hi, could you elaborate on this in a little bit more detail, please? Why are you not able to hold balls during multiball? Thanks for the review! ### 1/5 — This WAS a good app, but now has no more new content *2026-04-02, version 1.8.0* With the name change to Pinball FX World, they also strangely announced they wouldn’t be adding new content to it anymore. So, basically they took a 5 star app and reduced it down to a one star one. Which is where my review will stay until they reverse course and hopefully add to it again someday. With a pattern of releasing new mobile apps only to abandon them soon after, their track record on mobile isn’t very good, so I won’t get my hopes up too high. But they had something good going finally and I thought they would stick with it this time. But no. Abandoned like all the others. Zen in the mobile space, you are one of the worst. I wish you would get it together, stick with one app, and keep uploading content to it, instead of this constant chaos. Why can’t you do that? Beyond frustrating. It’s infuriating really. Edit: Their reply is even more infuriating and frankly only makes things worse. ### 1/5 — Please fix ST:TNG before you abandon the app *2026-04-01, version 1.8.0* I purchased all of the Williams tables including Star Trek: The Next Generation and it has been broken for months now since one of the app “updates” apparently “fixed” other issues with this table. The ball now gets stuck in the left Probe Launcher causing all sorts of issues that make the game unplayable. I paid $10 for this table and have been unable to complete a single game without running into this Probe Launcher issue. PLEASE fix this before you abandon this app. Thanks ### 1/5 — Abandonware *2026-03-31, version 1.8.0* They announced that they will no longer work on this game. Star Trek stays broken. No new tables. What a disappointment. Don’t give them a single cent. ### 1/5 — Addams Family Flipper *2026-03-30* Ausgerechnet der kommt ohne Ballsave Funktion. Mit Ballsave Funktion könnte man den Kauf überlegen. Der Ball geht teilweise sofort aus, da kann man den Flipper nicht genießen. **Developer response:** Hallo! In „The Addams Family“ gibt es zwar keine Ball-Speicherfunktion, aber bei anderen Tischen schon! Du kannst es mal mit „Skyrim Pinball“ versuchen – dort wird dein Ball gespeichert, falls du ihn früh verlierst. Abgesehen davon: Wie gefällt dir das Spiel? Vielen Dank für die Bewertung. Hi! While The Addams Family doesn't feature a ball save, other tables do! You can try Skyrim Pinball, which saves your ball if you lose it early. Other than that, how do you like the game? Thank you for the review. ### 1/5 — Everyone give this app a 1 star review *2026-03-12, version 1.7.0* They killed support for it after being out for only 1 year. I’m done supporting them. ### 1/5 — Wiped out my progress after playing for 2 years *2026-02-17, version 1.7.0* Why did you reset everything ### 1/5 — Crashes on opening *2026-02-10, version 1.6.3* Deleted. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Vrai Flipper !! Je recommande vivement *2026-08-26, version 1.8.1* Superbe graphisme, on se re croirait en enfance quand on jouait au flipper pendant que les parents buvaient un coup lol 🤣 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-24, version 1.8.1* I LOVE this game so much instead of having to buy the games you can just watch an ad to play every game ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso. *2026-07-20* Ele tem uma simulação de grandes clássicos que eu estava atrás. Faltou só terminator 2 ### 5/5 — PEAK GAME *2026-07-05, version 1.8.1* NO PURCHASES NEEDED TO HAVE FUN MINIMAL ADDS PLUS DOOM PINBALL ### 5/5 — Pinball *2026-06-21, version 1.8.0* Enjoying the variety of tables ### 5/5 — Amazing Versions of all Tables - classic and new *2026-06-06, version 1.8.0* Upgraded my IPad from 7th gen to 2026 Air for AI? Nope, to run Pinball FX Go as these versions require more speed. Tables are great but feel a little flashier than previous Zen App. Only frustration are increased table prices, and fact that many of my purchased old Zen tables won’t transfer or their aren’t versions on the new App. ### 5/5 — Perfeito *2026-05-23* Muito bom várias opções de mesas ### 5/5 — Keeps Getting Better *2026-05-11, version 1.8.0* I’ve been playing some version of Zen/Pinball FX for years now. I love their tables and continued dedication. I always look forward to the new Williams tables they come out with. This is such a great collection. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-05-06, version 1.8.0* I’ve got all of the pinball games I could find, some are good, some suck, but this one is the best. ### 5/5 — Happy to have it *2026-04-12, version 1.8.0* I hope they keep adding more tables. It’s a bit pricey compared to before but I’m really loving the app design and he star challenges are great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
