PING PONG PADDLE IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR iPAD DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNLESS YOU ARE PLAYING WITH AN iPAD!! The 1 star ratings are from people that have downloaded this thinking it is an app that will work without the iPad. YOU MUST HAVE AN iPAD TO USE THIS APP! --------------------------------------- Ping Pong Battle is a pioneer in both concept and implementation. Connecting iDevieces to the iPad is still new. Just like with the WII you must take a moment to configure your iDevices to take full advantage of this revolutionary application. It is critical to do the below simple steps. If done you will enjoy the app with out any issue. For best results and non freezing of the app you can not have one of the paddles connected using Bluetooth and the other connected using WIFI. For example if you chose to connect via WIFI you need to have ALL iDevices ( including the iPad ) connect using WIFI and turn all Bluetooth OFF. Same follows if you chose to connect with Bluetooth. Doing this you will have no issues and you will be able to play for hours without any drop in game play. WIFI and Bluetooth don't play nice with one and other.

All of the videos make it look easy and fun but could not get the game going at all. ### 1/5 — Worsttttt gameeee everrrrrr! *2012-04-28* Dont buy this is such a wastr of money you cant even see the ball! Horribleeeee ### 1/5 — Awful *2012-01-10* Don't know why they spent so much time making regulation rules when the app is very bad at registering iPhone motions, and freezes all the time. We had two iPhones and an iPad, and we couldn't get a functional game going. ### 1/5 — Good Concept.....BUT *2011-08-20* Serving is impossible so there is no way to play.... Good idea though! ### 4/5 — 0287 *2011-07-27* Add me on tiny zoo I'm 0287 ### 1/5 — where is table? *2011-07-16* do you buy another app for table on ipad? ### 5/5 — Fun game. Awesome technology *2011-04-17* Awesome showcase of technology and it's a lot of fun to mess around with. :D You need an iPad though people. Haha. ### 1/5 — 5 dollars what crap *2011-04-03* It sounds like an sweet game but there is no way in hell that I'm going to spend 5 bucks on a app ### 1/5 — Difficult configuration, unclear instruction *2010-11-27* The ambiguity over whether to activate Bluetooth and/or disable Wifi already makes this game difficult to share with friends. Then, serving to start a game proved *impossible*. Thanks for making an effort with lots of documentation, but the whole thing was too hard to be fun. Sorry, guys. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2010-10-04* I havent been able to see the ball, only can hear the sound. Waste of money, dont buy it. ## Frequently asked questions about Ping Pong Paddle ### Does Ping Pong Paddle require an iPad? Yes, Ping Pong Paddle is exclusively for iPad.
