Pinball Journal
A pinball journal that tracks your plays everywhere there is a Stern machine. Wallet integration is currently bugged as of 9/3/26 perhaps that will be patched in the future.
Pretty low quality
App is slow as molasses and has an extremely cumbersome and unintuitive UI. Lacks a lot of features that would make it more interesting. Like what’s the point of getting achievements if I have no way to show them off? All you can show off is badges and you don’t get a badge for any game-related accomplishments. The app feels like a marketing and money-making tool for Stern more than an actual honest attempt to make an interesting platform for players.

Pokemon Caught Tracking
It’s very disappointing that Stern advertised being able to track your caught Pokemon in your account, but that feature is completely absent from the app as of now. It feels a bit like incorrect advertising. Specifically, as someone who purchased the at home edition. If you are going to advertise a feature, please include it or provide a delivery date.

Superior app and innovation
Thank You stern for building such wonderful app. I can’t wait to see how collect Pokémon’s and achievements in another great pinball games. This is game changer
Keep up!

4th year and going strong
It’s amazing that no other pinball company has figured out QR codes. JJP has been working on it for several years and still nothing. The current Stern app upgraded a few years ago to be more graphical but now I watch a spinning disc as it tries to load data. I think my account might be worse because it has to loads my 1000+ badges in the background. Overall the team does an amazing job keeping us engaged and entertained. I would love to see more creative thinking on the Thursday monthly game badges. Repeating the same Achievement with a new graphic is not the way to go. And asking us to play all 32+ games on a promo has been way overdone. Bright spots are the high scores and telling us what percentile we placed amongst everyone. The tips and tricks on how to get weekly badges by Marc Patenaude are very helpful. But by far the best feature is the year in review because who doesn’t need to know what day of the week you play the best/most and on what ball you slay. I look forward to some top 1000 leaderboards with all the data they have collected. People love to compete with the world ! Keep it going Stern and let’s not forget the backend of the app for the Operators that seems to have been forgotten. I would love to adjust my sound levels and put on free play for event from home!

No support
I never got my email confirmation after making my account.
Tried to reset password and still never got an email.
Tried to find support on the site and only got an FAQ.
I’ve been enjoying pinball without the app, so I don’t feel like I’m missing much, but this app feels half baked before even being able to use it.

Can’t even sign up
Can’t even sign up. Won’t highlight next. Useless.
UX nightmare
So much going on, I legitimately cannot find anything easily, it’s so “busy” Other apps like Pindigo are so easy to browse, but this app makes no sense to the eyes. It also logs me out constantly with no remember me feature, it’s a pinball social app, or banking.
Home Screen shows recent achievements, can’t even click them to see what they are.
The icon that looks like 2 people, first thing it shows is find locations with games? Why? Isn’t that like a social area?
I just don’t understand what this app is for, I only see people log in on games but never use the app.

Response from developer
Hi A Brew, Thanks for the feedback! We appreciate you letting us know about the login issues and design concerns. We've released an update that fixes the logout problem and includes design improvements for easier navigation. We're always working to make the app better and appreciate your input!
No internet connection
The app is always broken and says “no internet connection”. This app has been out for a while now with the same issue, very frustrating!
A promising start
Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. But this platform augments the pinball experience, adding achievement tracking and leveling up the experience. As an owner of a Stern home edition plus table, I have recruited my friends to create accounts so we can track their progress and celebrate epic achievements. This also makes me want to track down arcades with connected machines to explore more games and achievements.
Hoping they iron out some of the bugs and improve the UI, but this platform definitely adds value and provides Stern with a competitive advantage.

Disorganized Greatness
There is so much missed potential with this app purely because of how messy it is. The categories don’t make much sense and it’s frustrating to navigate. That said when you DO figure out where you’re trying to go this app has almost all of the information you could want. Seems like updates are rolling out at a decent rate and things are improving but there’s definitely room to grow.

No biometric Sign in
Logs you out ever other day. Doesn’t allow biometric sign in so you have to enter your password by hand every other day. I changed my password from a good one like Jfbw&3g)3 to something stupid like monkey123 because of this. Please add biometric sign in and have longer sessions.
Love this
Just imagining what my grandma would’ve done to have this when she was 16💭 thanks so much for the app ❤️

Not worth the trouble
The app used to show stats, your level compared to others, work quickly…. Bummer they went backwards on the app.

Too much
There’s way too much stuff going on in the app and its organization is bad. We don’t need scrolling Recent Scores from random players with simply their avatars. This has no value at all. Get all that global leaderboard stuff in one far away area because frankly no one cares. We want to cleanly see high scores and achievements. We want to cleanly see friend high scores and achievements. Your resources and efforts are spread way too thin. Get a static back button. Get dates on the achievement pops. Stop popping achievements I already unlocked. I shouldn’t be getting badges twice. Just slow down and crush the high scores and achievements.

Unusable
Can’t create an account through the app. Pointless
Why bother?
Could have helped.
