If ZEN decides to refresh the quality of the graphics (stuff like the Chell model for example) improve the UI design (currently it looks really really bad) And they add the table guide then this game would be a 10/10 ### 4/5 — Fun but very buggy *2025-12-28* It works 👍 ### 4/5 — Are you thinking with portals? *2016-02-07* Super awesome! It took 3 hours to download a 40mb file for this game, whoaa!!! Also I wish I could pay once and play in both portable device and home console. ### 4/5 — English!!! *2015-10-11* Just make a way to change the language ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-07-14* You don't even need to like portal to enjoy this, but if you do this is 7/5 ### 4/5 — Ganz gut *2015-06-28* Aber schade das es nur eine map gibt ### 5/5 — 😃👍🏻 *2015-06-17* Plutôt bien fait j'apprécie l'ambiance et je kiff quand glados parle j'ai joué à portal sur Xbox 360 et j'apprécie pouvoir jouer dans l'ambiance du jeux pour le moment je n'ai pas rencontré de problème et j'espère que ça restera comme top délire ### 5/5 — Fun!!!!!!!!! *2015-06-15* This game is fun but hard but still fun. ### 2/5 — Real let down *2015-06-07* Surprisingly dull pinball game. "Missions" don't offer much variety. Much of the on screen action is obscured. Physics aren't a scratch on Atomic Pinball (which you should definitely get over this). Quite boring - and this is without mentioning the IAP. ### 4/5 — Good...But one thing *2015-06-04* Epic,but I don't understand this I can get something from the Zen Pinball game but I cannot get the normal game in general... ### 5/5 — Cool *2015-06-03* Cool ### 5/5 — Enorme flipper❗️ *2015-06-03* Au top ce flipper avec des reference sur un jeu video anthologique❗️ Super fluide et magnifique sur iphone 6+👀 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No english ? *2025-11-23* Awful **Developer response:** Hi, there is English language in the game. Is your phone's language set to English by default in the settings? Thanks for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Download issues *2021-04-20* I paid for this game and waited for it to download on my phone. Opened the game and then it says there’s a large download that needs to happen. Fine. I go to download it and it keeps giving me an unknown error. Try again. I was pretty excited for this game, and having paid for it I’m pretty disappointed I can’t even start it. Will change rating if the error gets fixed. **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear that! Could you please contact us at support@zenstudios.com so we can look into this? We'd be glad to help! ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2019-11-23* Impossible de télécharger les données ; il y a manifestement un bug. Achat inutile. ### 1/5 — Will not download *2019-05-04* Won’t download to either iPhone or iPad many tries = all fail DO NOT WASTE $ **Developer response:** Hi Plinthgarnel! Thank you for your honest feedback, and sorry for not hitting the mark. I will forward this to our developers, so, hopefully, we can do better in the future. Have a nice day! ### 1/5 — It doesn’t download *2019-04-14* For some reason when I downloaded this app it said I have to download and play and when I did it always said unknown error. Please help me I can’t download this app. I paid 1.99 for this app and it doesn’t work. **Developer response:** Hi Templar Knight! We would be glad to help you with this issue! Could you email us at support@zenstudios.com so we can solve this problem? ### 1/5 — Junk *2018-10-13* I bought this with the assumption that I could play this through the main Zen Pinball app. Why is it that I can buy this same game twice? I can buy the app or I can buy the exact same table in the Zen Pinball app? Link them? What the heck are you thinking? **Developer response:** Hey! We can help you out regarding your problem, please write an e-mail to support@zenstudios.com! Thanks! ### 1/5 — Broken *2017-11-16* Every time I try to download the rest if the app (inside of the app itself) it “downloads” for 2 minutes then says there’s an error and to try again later. I have tried “again later” many times. I uninstalled and reinstalled it many times to no avail. What a waste of $2 **Developer response:** Hey, Can you please write a message to support@zenstudios.com, so we can help you out? Thanks for the feedback! Have a nice day! ### 1/5 — English please? *2015-06-09* So I bought this game completely uniformed of the fact it is in Spanish and I can't change the language. Awful. **Developer response:** Hi Kipleon, the Spanish phrases you’re hearing are a reference from Portal 2, and they are supposed to be in Spanish :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3TG1AzBJYo ### 1/5 — Invasion of privacy *2015-06-01* Wish I'd been told before paying that they access your email and personal info. I refused to accept that and deleted the game which means I've paid for something I can't use now. I feel cheated. ### 1/5 — Voll daneben *2015-05-31* Ich kaufe ein Spiel für 2 € und will spielen - geht nicht, erst mal muss ich in Englisch geschriebene Vereinbarungen akzeptieren, erst dann - wohlgemerkt nachdem ich schon bezahlt habe - wird das Spiel vollständig geladen. Und wenn ich dann endlich spielen darf und die Kugeln alle verbraucht sind kann ich entweder für richtiges Geld neue Kugeln kaufen oder mein Fortschritt wird nicht gespeichert - das Geld hätte ich mir sparen können und noch was drauflegen werde ich schon gar nicht. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bestes Pinball Spiel aller Zeiten aaaaber... *2021-11-25* Alle 6 Tests zu schaffen ist ja schon wie ein Sechser im Lotto, aber warum sind alle Tests futsch, wenn man während des Kampfes mit Glados ein Ballaus hat, jedoch noch längst nicht Game Over ist??? Ist es euer Ernst, dass man dann alles nochmal von vorne machen muss??? Das ist doch nicht fair...... flenn, heul... Wie dem auch sei, das Spiel hat Suchtfaktor hoch 10 und macht meeega Spaß! Langweilig wird es auch nicht, da es tausende von Effekten gibt, Super Musik, toll ausgedacht und so... ### 5/5 — Rad *2018-09-17, version 1.0.1* Fun game ### 5/5 — Oh my god! *2018-01-27* This app is great go and buy it! It is worth 2$ ! **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the review! We appreciate every Stars you gave us! ### 5/5 — Addictive *2017-06-08* I can't stop playing ### 5/5 — あいつもあいつもいる！ *2017-03-25* 日本人なので英語で何を言っているかはよく分かりませんが、お馴染みのラジオBGMやみんなの声が聞こえるのはとてもやっていて楽しいです！ ### 5/5 — Fantastic if you like pinball *2016-12-25* Very well designed table with a lot of stuff to find. Tip: look up the PDF guide on the developer's site. ### 5/5 — The best game of pinball ever *2016-07-01* This was one of those games I thought would be fun and it was. I think it's worth more than $1.99 ### 5/5 — Oh yes *2016-05-25* Oh Gladus. You always make me smile with your chipper, optimistic view of the world. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-09-12* Best game ever ### 5/5 — Really entertaining *2015-08-07* Amazing app! Has all the stuff from portal, great buy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
