Stop posting useless update info, Netflix!

Hey Netflix, You've released some great games, and as a big fan of the Zen Studio pinball games, this was a great addition. This 1 star review is not a problem with the game or developers but Netflix's stupid update practices. Who at Netflix came up with the BRILLIANT habit of giving every update to ALL of your games the same generic description? In today's Pinball Master update a new table was added, not that I as a customer would know from that IDIOTIC update description!

Not optimized for the iPad.

The graphics and performance on my iPad pro is awful to the point of practically unplayable. I believe the iPad pro is capable of nearly 4k resolution but it looks blurry with low res assets that seem to be meant for only the small screens of an iphone. The low res graphics is even worse than Pinball Party on the apple arcade and even worse than the original Zen Pinball app which is over 10 yrs old at this point. No support for landscape orientation for ipad players. I bought every table on the original Zen Pinball app and it feels like a slap in the face to mobile users that the quality of the apps have gotten worse and worse. I remember when I think it was maybe Barbiebobomb was still the community manager (or maybe Mel Kirk) when mobile users were told that pinball fx3 was coming to mobile. That ship has sailed long ago. I don’ think Mel Kirk has any idea what the hardcore fanbase wants. Why can’t we just get a next gen pinball app that looks good and runs smoothly and that is not locked behind subscriptions or free to play shenanigans? I will buy every table at $5 per table which is pretty much the norm on every other platform. I don’t care about special game modes or “power” ups. I don’t care about fancy ball trails or cosmetics. Give me an online and local leaderboard, give me all the new fx tables with next gen physics and lighting. That’s it and I will open my wallet to you again.

Playable when bored

Game is ok. First off graphics seem nice, even on iPad Air 4. But I wish not everything was made for phones! Meaning that it's only in portrait mode! Ugh! Then the ball seems to favor the left side. This game cheats! You have three slots next to each flap. But the third slot goes behind them! This is where your ball will end up about half the time. Then, not only do you lose a ball. You lose gameplay! I don't recall them ever doing this in real live machines! Then, the time your ball get killed and another ball drops. Takes way to long! The flappers at top of machine don't really seem helpful at all. I wish that the ball glowed or was a bright color. Because it's really hard to see, especially on the darker colored boards like the first Grimm one.

Awesome port!

Love this port of pinball fx. Plays smooth and the stranger things table is a nice Netflix bonus. If the devs read this please add controller support! I feel like it should be an easy add since every other platform has it. Also one weird issue is I’ve had my progress reset randomly twice but luckily it hasn’t affected the leaderboard scores. At any rate if you have the Netflix games no reason to not pick this one up five stars

“Pinball Masters NETFLIX Review “

I have love pinball all my life. This cyber pinball app is the closest thing to playing a real pinball machine. Each of the pinball machines are creatively created with great sound effects and presents a great challenge with one’s skill in playing such a game. Having said all of this, it is an absolute no-brainer to give this app a five star review!!! Thank you ever so much for making such a PHENOMENAL pinball game app!!! Please keep up the outstanding work.

Need 60fps

This game is great … nice having some tables that are different than the tables on the Apple Arcade Zen Studios, but the game seemingly runs at 30fps with no options to change to 60fps. Would also be nice to play in landscape and support external controllers. Still … if you’re already a Netflix subscriber it’s hard to beat the price, and if you haven’t played the other Zen games on various other platforms the lack of 60fps may not bother you.

Blurry and unplayable on iPad Pro

As much as I wanted to like this app, I can’t due to the sheer fact that it’s unplayable. The frame rate is incredibly low, which makes screen and input responses difficult to match up. The graphics are also fairly blurry, and don’t take advantage of the iPad’s higher resolution. While this might be playable on an iPhone, that’s not my preferred device for playing pinball games. Oddly, the same tables in Zen’s other iPad apps are much better than this.

The idea is great but way too slow/ choppy

This, in it’s current state, is too choppy to take seriously. I’ve tried it on a newer iPad, iPhone XR and iPhone SE. it’s ok but you’re not able to see how cool the tables really are. I mean, the Noire table?? Yes Please! Just update it ASAP to make it more playable. It honestly feels like one of those cloud based games where it’s just a bit off. Star Wars pinball (also by Zen) plays beautifully on many devices. Huge fan. Bring on the updates! Cheers!
