8 of 15Two updates in recent weeks. I’m listening. Still a bit buggy switching to landscape and the aspect ratio is off on newer iphones. But yeah still best looking, best physics, best pinball library around. You’re the best. Hopefully you can get the Williams license back.
Very happy to see Farsight Studios is updating this app. Big fan, hopefully we will see more in the near future. Would love to see a version of PBA bowling brought to mobile.
This last update fixed my issue with my Star Trek table showing as not purchased. The menu system looks a bit better, but the tables are still stretched on the iPhone 14 and the dead oval at the top of the screen still covers all the DMDs. Will definitely put this back to 5 stars if that gets fixed.
Completely unplayable, I get a black screen with music when I launch
All of the tables that I purchased are gone. Apparently they lost the license with Ballys Midway and are not allowed to have those games anymore. Meanwhile I bought those games and they were taken away. I will never pay for another game from them since they can take it away any time. I think they should offer refunds or at least credit to buy new games. What a waste of money.
I’ve been a supporter of Pinball Arcade ever since the Twilight Zone Kickstarter in 2012, and I really love playing this game. Unfortunately, the support specifically for iPhone 15 models (and, presumably, future iPhone models) is lacking. Due to the switch from a camera in bezel to the Dynamic Island, the screen resolution has changed. Now the game screen is noticeably stretched, and the dot matrix display on tables like Twilight Zone and Star Trek: TNG is all be cover up by the Dynamic Island. Can you please update the app to support the new displays so we can continue to enjoy these pinball tables on the go?
This app stopped working for a while but the developer seems to be back, and all the pinball tables I bought years ago are back and running great. Thank you for keeping this app up to date, it’s great fun and I like the clear visual style you chose for the art, rather than getting fancy with shadows and lighting like the other guys.
Please, fix the notch !!! Tables completely unplayable without HUD.
