## What is PinGuy?

Your tool for perfect leveling of a pinball machine. 
1. Just calibrate your iPhone the first time on a perfect 0° ground as zero
2. Put your phone on the playfield of your pinball machine and watch the 4 green markers. These represent the legs of your pinball.
3. The marker should be inside the blue line. If the marker is outside the leg must be screwed in.
4. If all is perfectly aligned, all markers will be on the blue line. The moving red crosshair overlaps the green one in the middle.
5. After inserting the glass, put your iPhone on it and switch the app to glass.
6. Now you can calibrate the app on the glass pane.

If you want to check later to see if your pinball is still properly aligned, simply put your iPhone on the glass.

## Key features

- iPhone calibration for zero point
- Playfield leg alignment markers

### 5/5 — I didn’t know I needed it!

*2025-11-22, version 3.0.3*

This app is awesome. Set your phone on the playfield then get your body under the table and start cranking feet. Then the app tells you what’s going on and where to provide some attention. I thought I would need to buy a digital level and crawl around then get up and check only to crawl around again. This app is awesome for us old guys that want our pins set up correctly. Thank you so much. 100 stars.

### 5/5 — Best pinball service app there is!

*2025-11-11, version 3.0.3*

I use this app on a near daily basis. Absolutely love it and my clients always think it is the coolest thing ever.

### 5/5 — First time pinball owner

*2025-06-04, version 3.0.3*

App delivered exactly what I needed to help level game in glass mode as I experienced pinball machine owner

### 1/5 — Collections is broken, app crashes

*2024-05-09, version 3.0.3*

The app crashes when going into collections.

### 1/5 — Some usefulness but very buggy

*2022-08-17, version 3.0.1*

The balance part is nice but saving collections functionality is broken and eventually bites you. You’ll lose all save data. You’re better off just using this as a balance and never touching the collections user flow.

### 5/5 — For Pinball owners this is a must have

*2022-05-25, version 3.0.0*

Great app! Very cool table and glass options. Helps you level a table by yourself.

### 5/5 — Best tool ever!

*2021-05-13, version 2.92*

I love this pinball leveling app and recommend it to anyone that asks me the best way to level a game. 

I always just use the playfield feature and set the phone between the flippers. I don’t bother with saving games and learning the glass. If you’re setting up a game, you’ll have the glass off anyway to put the balls back in.

### 3/5 — Great leveling app

*2020-08-22, version 2.9*

Great app, but it crashes every time I go to collections. Have reloaded the app several times and the same thing occurs each time after I get a couple games saved.

### 5/5 — Great app but crashing now

*2020-06-12, version 2.9*

I love this app, but it’s crashing every time  I hit “collections”. I don’t want to have to uninstall and reinstall and re learn the machine

### 5/5 — Great app, but now crashes

*2020-05-27, version 2.9*

It was a great app, but ever since I added another (4th or 5th) machine yesterday it crashes every time I hit the Collections button.

Update: I deleted the app and reinstalled, and it hasn’t crashed after (re-)adding a dozen games. So you can try that if you have the crashing problem. Also, as a precaution save (export) your collection after adding each new machine and you won’t have to start over from scratch if you have to reinstall.
