Pinball Masters NETFLIX Reviews

Long time waiting

Please add landscape option

One of the most despicable companies did it again.
First they completely abandon mobile and leave people who paid for tables hanging with buggy apps.
Now they are back to make a quick buck with Netflix?

The ball is so laggy and jerky (on iPad Pro!) that it becomes unplayable. Just like in Williams pinball, only way worse.
Also, why only portrait?

Please do not get a Netflix subscription just for PinballMastersNETFLIX, you will regret it.

Frame rate is far too low and the game runs like trash. Textures look low res. Runs horribly on an m1 iPad.

I’ve been enjoying ad free pinball. I’m starting with the basic tables and I noticed a problem with the Mummy game. The score box at the top of the screen blocks the CROCOS letters that are part of the table mechanics. None of the views fix this, the view should be moved up a bit.

A step back from all the other zen games. Very choppy on the iphone 12 pro max. Hard to even see the tables the colors look like mud. And why is the info box nearly 1/3 the screen? That's insane. Please adjust to play like pinball party or Williams, this is a huge step backwards!

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!

I really really enjoy pinball and these games are both really fun and challenging! If you enjoy pinball as much as I have growing up and even now, definitely check this game out!

This game is so fun and can keep you busy for hours with the many cool stories and games within it. Surprised it doesn’t cost a ton, best game I’ve played this year!

Worked great on iPhone but the graphics and performance need work on 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.

I am so a bit of a little bit tired but I’m going to go get some rest now so I’ll talk with you tomorrow I love to you too

Much more fun than I thought it would be. It’s easy to exit unintentionally, and it needs more options, but enjoyable and good graphic elements.

Everyone I know has this game

While the tables are fun and I would like to see more, the graphics quality is horrible! The ball movement is choppy and the tables look like a 720p video on a 4k TV. Blurry and muddy. They look better on the other unmentionable mobile operating system.

Running this on an iPhone 15 Pro Max and it looks muddy and runs choppy. Also there’s no haptic feedback which is so bizarre for a pinball game. Unfortunately it seems a lot of the Netflix games are lackluster like this. Thankfully the newer releases like Dead Cells and the GTA games are actual quality releases.

I was very excited for The Addams Family to get a virtual release. Zen studios is normally really good. However it’s a hot mess. Very low graphics, choppy gameplay and feels like it’s 20 frames per second. This isn’t hardware issues I have a 2021 iPad Pro. This is software development sided.

A couple of things here. First off, it’s tiny. Second off, it’s way too busy. Just too much going on. In a real game the ball doesn’t just keep coming back at you, it bounces around on it’s own, ringing up points. Not so here. This is boring.

The tables are too dark. Even turning my brightness up it is difficult to see and follow the ball.

Really enjoying these tables!

This game has a lot of potential, but the ball physicals are way off. The ball needs more weight!

Terrible choppy performance on iPhone 14.

Been having a lot of fun with this usually I’m kinda bored by pinball games on the phone and want to only play the real life ones, but this one is amazing! Play and have fun pinball lovers!

Font is kind tiny making it hard to see balls and upper flippers.

it would be really nice if you would improve on the definition of your game the pinball machines themselves tend to be somewhat blurry and low definition.

The game is fun, but its annoying that on the iPhone when you try to hit the flippers if your thumb slides up even a tiny bit the game constantly pauses.

So fun and challenging and as realistic as I’ve seen so far

This is all but unplayable. What is this Zen? I’ve played every one of your apps on my phone. Not a single one of them performs this poorly. I was super excited to see this on here, but this is definitely not passable. It desperately, desperately needs an update. Pinball is a game about timing, and the frame rate is so poor that this feels horrible to play. I have no doubt that these tables are fun, but make PinballMastersNETFLIX perform better so they can be enjoyed. Then you will have fewer disappointed fans.

Although there is a very noticeable lack of content in this game, I love me some pinball. And with the creative table layouts and fun mechanics as usual for any ZEN game, I just can’t give this game anything lower than 3 stars.

So addictive! do not play this game if you have something to do, because you will not get it done! ;)

Well made and fun to play. Would love to have some additional / different themed machines for a little more variation, but I’m enjoying the offerings so far as is. Thanks!

As much as I wanted to like PinballMastersNETFLIX, 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.

Was hesitant on getting it at first because it was on Netflix and it was my first game buying on Netflix but it works great and has next to no glitches. So far no issues with the game.

Giving four stars because I’m enjoying it but really only the Grimm table is really well done. The others feel shorter than they should be and not as interactive

PinballMastersNETFLIX is a blurry mess. Zen has a number of far older pinball apps that look a lot better than this. Combined with flipper lag on an iPhone 15 Pro, this was an auto-delete. They should be ashamed to have released this. I can’t understand the positive reviews…

I still enjoy it. Been playing a lot of Nintendo Switch lately, so I guess I’m just use to imperfect frame rates. Looking forward to more tables. Maybe some based off of Netflix shows?

I just started playing it and I like is there different pinball machines available or do have to beat the first one to get other pinball machines.

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.

The game has really good production values, but controls are horrible. The area where you control the paddles can’t be adjusted. My advice is split the left and right control area down the middle. When the player want to bump the table, then do it with two both left and right fingers and drag the direction you want to do it. I think it would feel more natural like in irl.
