### 1/5 — Not free after all, totally bogus

*2026-04-25, version 1.2.2*

I played once for free. Then after it won’t let me play unless I watch an ad. Guess what? Where are the ads? No ads!! Catch 22. And we are supposed to pay for a single table? So the only way to play is to purchase. They should simply state that up front and make this a paid app. I couldn’t hit the delete button fast enough.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY DELUXE !!

*2026-02-28, version 1.2.2*

Takes your money and does not unlock the deluxe features it’s a scam game crashes if you try to restore purchase I’ve lost nearly £7 asking for a full refund

### 2/5 — Meh

*2025-08-19, version 1.2.2*

### 2/5 — Problemi con l’acquisto e con le pubblicità

*2025-06-29, version 1.2.2*

Problemi con l’acquisto della versione ad free e le pubblicità della versione free per sbloccare la partita non funzionano, andrebbe aggiornata, così non riesco a giocare. Rispondete per favore, così è ingiocabile, grazie

### 5/5 — Pro Pinball „Best Pinball of the Late 90‘s“

*2024-08-03*

Das ist der Pinball meiner Jugend und einfach so unbeschreiblich detailliert dass man sogar in die Technik des Gerätes eingreifen kann.

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2024-07-12, version 1.2.2*

I tried to play after purchase and it kept asking to purchase. I hit restore and it crashed every time.

### 1/5 — Wie oft

*2024-07-02*

soll ich den noch kaufen?

### 1/5 — Unter iOS unspielbar sehr enttäuschend

*2024-05-30*

Vor 20 Jahren auf dem PC der Wahnsinn, heute -nur unter iOS getestet- unspielbar, keine Kontrolle möglich.
Bin super enttäuscht, 3 € umsonst, App wieder gelöscht.

### 2/5 — Problema

*2024-03-02*

O jogo é excelente, porém, não permite jogar mais depois da primeira vez. Estava dando erro de servidor ao tentar criar conta. Em contato com o suporte corrigiram e consegui criar a conta, porém, ainda assim se optar por assistir vídeo diz que não tem vídeo disponível. Uma pena. Como não consegui tentar direito fiquei com medo de comprar e não funcionar conforme algumas pessoas que compraram relataram na App Store. Acabei adquirindo na Steam e no pc está ok, mas no iPhone não estou conseguindo. Triste 😕
