Zen Pinball App Reviews

Awesome feel!

I cannot lie zen creators. I bow down to you my gods. I am humbled in your holy presence. I have played many pinball games(both real and software based). Most software pinball games get the physics all wrong. This pinball game however is spot on. Plays like the real thing. Most Excellent.

This is the best virtual pinball period. Of course it isnt like a real life pinball game. The physics are altered slightly to compliment the intricacies of the tables. The Star Wars tables and the Aliens table is the best ones. Smginn

I had tried the two South Parks and the Star Wars tables. Plus "Sorcerers Lair" is a great free entry table. I was playing Star Wars everyday and the action was great. I thought I would try another Zen table so I purchased The Wild West Rampage. Big Mistake, because the game play is so stupidly flawed that it would drive any normal player crazy. The ball just drains and drains, down the sides ,and through the flippers more than normal too. I saw something in the Forum that spoke to this and it was said they (Zen) were going to address the ridiculous "non playability " of this game. It has definitely motivated me to look for other virtual pinball options. ALAS It doesnt matter now anyway, because the last update killed the app completely- it failed to open at all after the update. I reloaded it and took a leap of faith and purchased the new Alien table- since that was what the update was for anyway -to add the in app purchase for the new Alien tables. But the reinstall messed up the flipper action and now all the tables have a narrower flipper area and I keep having a dead flipper half the time I play. Everything went to pot with the update and disappointing new tables.( Did not find the new Aliens table that great on first couple of tries) Maybe would have felt better about it if the other issues above hadnt been so aggravating.

First off, Zen Pinball is the best pinball game ever. I purchased several of their tables and they are all superb. Whenever I had questions about the app their support team has been responsive and courteous. I wish all developers were as excellent! 5 Stars for the Zen Studio developers!

Im completely addicted to the games in this App there are about 16 different pinball games that Im playing right now. Its exciting because theyre always adding new games. The games are played as if they were real pinball machines being emulated and that being down to the level of detail in the configuration menus you get to explore and play with when you start using these games. My only frustration is that they require all game scores to post as games played with factory settings -- that makes it so boring! They should allow anybody to post regardless of how they were setup but just different groups of postings like leader boards for players still playing with a three-ball configuration, a different leader board for if youre playing with a different configuration. Also some people have seemed to hack the game to make it repotting that they have 75000 -thousand 100,000,000 million points -- theyve clearly messed with the game -- theres no way possible to score that high so please get rid of it from the leader boards. It would be cool if there was an online community where you could connect your artists and engineers with their community and see whats going on in upcoming releases of games like the new star wars games. My favorite game to play is sorfcers lair because I like the puzzles and mini-games so much. Anyway completely worth it and if more people were on board with playing this it would be so amazingly cool. Im also playing this on an iPad Pro and its an amazing way to play these games on iPad Pro its thers a crazy level of depth and clarity you feel like youre almost in an immersive experience its really neat!

Must buy everything

As others have noticed, the latest update crashes. It is open in background, but it does not allow you to view or play. IPad 2. Great game when it works! Please fix!

Crashy crashy. Hope that a fixy fixy comes soon as Ive invested in almost all the tables...

Great way to waste your time.

Great app. You start with a free table and each table after that is only 2$ you really cant go wrong. Plus theres no glitches like many of the other games out there. I cant say enough about this app. Ignore the bad reviews. Its just people who want everything for nothing and still wouldnt be happy with that. I bought one table so far and I have definitely gotten my money worth. I plan on buying more. Good luck and have fun

So this pin ball "Platform" is everything you would want. I sometimes forget Im using my iPad and just get immersed in the atmosphere of the game. Sorcerers Lair is a fun "freebie" you will like instantly. Im a huge "Wolverine of the Marvel Comics" fan, and so I have his table. The Wolverine table is absolutely satisfying, and makes me think the others are as well. I wish you didnt have to buy every single one of these tables, but if you did, cmon... you would spend several quarters in an arcade anyway, and you dont bring those games back home with you... Do people still use "coin-op" arcades anymore? Anyway, I highly recommend this app, as I am sure you will not be disappointed.

This game is fantastic! I have it for both my tablet and computer and I play it all the time. The tables are inexpensive but the free table is one of my favorites. I highly recommend this app!

Great pinball game, certainly the best on the App Store. Keep it up!

Good tables...good play, gotta be careful not to hit tablet too hard otherwise you all tilt. Needs reward system to garner new tables to unlock paying for tables is ok but it needs more than that to make people want to lay long term.

I like this game but if there is a verison for me to buy it without signing in to play the other games then...where is it? The new update no longer allows me to play it w/o purchasing. I had this game for years but I will get over not playing it.

Graphics are tight, tables are fast past and it keeps you on your toes. Next table release I would like to see THE SIMPSONS!!!!!!!

Its a fun game but its to limited more pinball tables would be nice

Zen Pinball is a in-app purchase container that represents the best in the all-digital pinball category. These tables have been conceived of entirely in the digital realm, and are not replicating tables from the past. Within Zens offerings are table themes conceived of by their own designers, and tables that are franchise themed (Star Wars, Marvel Comics, etc.) The Zen themed tables are $.99 each, and the franchise tables are $1.99 each. At the time of this writing there are 15 tables by Zen, and 49 tables that are franchise based, with more being added regularly. One table (Sorcerers Lair) is entirely unlocked with the download, but other than that there is no try before you buy option, just links to YouTube trailers. The tables themselves are beautifully designed, and implemented with an excellent physics engine. All tables are fully customizable, with all "pro-options" included at no extra cost. There are so many fantastic games in this collection, even veteran pinballers will have their hands full. The interface is slick and well organized, and the prices are very reasonable. Youll be building a deep collection in no time. You cant go wrong here, dive in and have a blast.

Some of the tables arent the best but others are insane fun. If you cant stand the idea of video pinball, I get that. But youre missing out on some really fun digital tables.
