It's on Steam also, but it has very poor quality. It's actually exactly the same as the Android version, with low resolution textures and all.

That is why I removed it after I saw the graphics aren't that great. Look better on the iPad though.

TPA. It's been a rough ride supporting this from the beginning.
Using it on my Mac and releases have been from excellent to buggy beyond playable. Customer support is HOR-RI-BLE and officially reported bugs are simply ignored. BUt other than that, It IS the best pinball software around, and the PS4-version looks absolutely STUNNING! The payment system is fair-ish, though the pro tables are a bit overpriced.
Spent a lot of money on this already and must say it sees regular gameplay, but I also own 2 real pinball machines so I tend to go for the real thing lately. though it is really good for exploring cabinets you might have a chance of playing in the near future.

Only thing I noticed on my tablet is that turning off "mip mapping" improves the textures. Apart from that I don't have any problems. I suppose on steam and on a larger screen things may be different. I tried pro mode on one of the tables. Table exploration could do with camera tilting as well as x, y, z movement.
So comments about the licensing that Farsight have been able to achieve ? I've seen it said that the licensing is complex. I also wonder if they used any pinball emu projects listed on this site ? MAME could be used to faithfully recreate arcade classics ... after all this is what the project was created to do, right ? Recreation is the key word as many roms run under mame would not be playable on many devices (as found when trying to use various emulators) due to cpu overheads. An arcade project in the spirit of Pinball Arcade could recreate various arcade classics with all the idiosycrasies of the original game, as well as the history, flyers. With a donation to the MAME project I would hope.

I suspect that (with the exception of machines featuring licensed subject matter) the ownership of pinball machines is much easier to sort out than the ownership of many video games.
There is most likely no "home port" rights to get in the way plus pinball machines weren't generally licensed to different companies in different countries. And there generally tends to be one entity involved in creating them. Plus tracing the ownership of the pinball rights from the big pinball manufacturers is generally not that hard. Oh and unlike video games, there is generally no prospect of a pinball machine making money via re-releases or collections or whatever.

None of the companies besides Stern even exist on paper.
