Love that this app exists, but struggling with the new app updates to find anything. Get caught in endless loops sometime. Appreciate trying to make it better, but the latest update is a step back in making it user friendly. Tracking your latest play or data is buried deep in the app, if you’re even able to find it. Very much want IC to work again, right now it’s just too hard.

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.

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.

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.
