It's a great app in that it's a wonderful replica of real tables. There are opportunities to try it a table before purchasing it, and has a good model of feeling like purchasing a full table is worth it. But it's filled with so many game-breaking bugs. Everything from randomly induced game ending glitches to tables not even starting up right. Currently, Star Trek is nearly unplayable as there are no table sounds other than the mechanical SFX, and the DMD only displays box outlines without any animations or gameplay variables. The issue persists through fresh installations of the app and through device reboots. For context, the device is an iPhone 8 running iOS 12.0 . I wish the devs the best of luck in figuring out the bug, and I look forward to being able to play again!

The tables play ok. The app did crash a few times when first downloaded, but I’ve since shut down and rebooted my phone and the problem seems less apparent. The physics are good, and there are always at least two free tables to play, often with a selection of several others. My biggest complaint is that I can’t see the DMD display on any cabinet due to the notch on the screen. Even ones where I would of been able to see it I can’t because they put a mini display that is almost the same size over it, so it gets blocked then it blocks the screen underneath it. There’s no option to turn off or move the redundant display either. Notched phones have been out for awhile now, and the solution is pretty simple, give an option to move the floating DMD, like a drop down menu with some options maybe. Why couldn’t of this of been fixed by now? The app is good, but not being able to see the dmd kills the immersion for me. I don’t know my score, what goals I need, or even what ball I’m on. I played the Star Trek table (which is pretty good), and my ball disappeared and had to relaunch it so I thought I drained it, and it turns out I had hit a goal instead. The dmd is pretty important, so not being able to see it really needs to be fixed if they expect anyone with a newer phone to buy any tables.

STAR TREK especially....GOES WHERE NO PINBALL TABLE HAS GONE BEFORE! This Star Trek table is the BEST PINBALL TABLE I HAVE EVER PLAYED, and I own all of your PA and SPA tables! $9.99 for one table is a bit high. I've obviously been a loyal customer since I own all of your Pinball Arcade tables. I've been paying $4.99 as each one has come out. And $4.99 is plenty per table, especially when Zen Pinball charges usually $1.99 per table and sometimes $0.99 per table. Granted your costs are probably higher than Zen's. But now to ask almost $10 per table seems a bit too much. Look, I love what you guys do. I'm sure it takes tremendous work to do what you do. You should be applauded...and thanked. At $4.99, I will continue to be a loyal customer. As far as your tables themselves go, Stern and Pinball Arcade is unsurpassed! Brilliant work! One thing on the AC/DC table though, I have the camera set to roam, but when the ball is at the top, the camera remains fixed. I would like to see the top of the table a bit too. That's all...kudos to the best gaming on IOS!

Update October 2017. Ipad Air running v11. No update from Farsight since my last posting a month ago. Still unplayable because the data box is virtually unreadable. This is not a user error. I have tried all brightness settings. Piball Arcade looks fine. It is only the Stern app, and it is on EVERY table. What a shame, if this was fixed I would give it 6 stars if I could. That is how good this should be. Come on, I paid my money. Fix this!!!...........Huge fan of both apps. Have all tables. Dont play this at all as the score and info box is much too dark, so much it is basically unreadable. Has been that way for months. Dont you play your games? How could you miss this, and then not fix it immediately your customers have told you? I am not the firsto notify you. I would be furious if I was Stern. It is unplayable.Update: Still not fixed, and new poblems arose. The biggest one is AC/DC doesn't work any more. You guys have great talent, but you are spreading yourself way too thin. You are supporting too many platforms with few too programmers (ouya, really). Tables are released every single month on Pinball Arcade with obvious bugs, making it appear they are released before final testing. You may think people would rather have a table a little buggy but every month, then have to wait longer for a bug free version, but I assure you we will wait. My guess is you need the revenue monthy, but I decided I am waiting now until I hear the tables work right.
