Review summary

Users appreciate the app's core functionality of tracking pinball plays and achievements, especially when recent updates improved sign-in persistence. However, the app is frequently criticized for repeatedly logging users out despite 'remember me' settings, leading to a poor user experience. Many find the interface unintuitive and cumbersome, with glitches and crashes affecting usability. Navigation issues and persistent login/connectivity problems frustrate users, though the concept and functionality are valued. Continued improvements in reliability and UI are desired to enhance overall satisfaction.

Pros

The app allows users to track their plays and scores, which is appreciated by users.
Recent updates have fixed some significant issues, improving the user experience.
The underlying concept and functionality of the app, such as score tracking and achievements, are well-liked.
Users appreciate when the app stays signed in, avoiding repeated logins.
The ability to access QR codes for games is helpful when using the app.

Cons

The app frequently logs users out, even when 'remember me' is selected, causing frustration.
Users often cannot stay signed in and have to log in repeatedly, sometimes even during use.
The user interface is considered unintuitive and clunky by several users.
The app sometimes glitches or crashes, preventing users from completing tasks like playing games or changing leaderboard times.
Navigation issues exist, such as the back button closing the app instead of going back.
Login and connectivity problems, including 'Sorry that didn't work' messages and server issues are common.

2025-01-08	Ma*****	Getting better. Glad the devs made it possible to stay signed in (big win here), but some improvements are needed: 1. Easier to find scores for a game, the recent is nice, but searching for your high on a single title is needs to be more efficient - alphabetical list of names, no pics (possibly your high next to the name, so you don't have to click to see it) 2. Ability to compare your high scores side-by-side with a certain friend (just list each game & scores, doesn't need to be fancy)

2024-11-29	Fe*****	The ''remember me" option might be one of the most pointless buttons ever. You will have to sign in every single time you open the app.

2024-11-14	St*****	I finally had enough and un-installed this mess. Always signs you out, sometimes while using the app. The back button closes the app. I just keep my QR code in my Google wallet and use the website to check on quests and achievements. Update: leave it to Stern to actually screw this app up even worse than it was.

2024-11-10	Ti*****	Recent update removed number of players from individual badge achievements (e.g. days played cumulatively and consecutively, games played, etc.) I prefer this was visible so I know where I stand. Also please add the date of our last game played, to ensure we know we're covered for consecutive days played.

2024-11-09	Na*****	When I go to hit play game, it just glitches out and doesn't go anywhere. New update and rendered the app useless

2024-11-09	Ja*****	Thank you so much, the updates have made all the difference! -- It started booting me out while Im using it. The "remember me" never does, and recently the map stopped working. When I either enter zip or try to scroll to location, it just goes to blank screen or says sorry that didnt work. I hope these bugs can be fixed, because really, I love the app itself! For anyone with trouble getting to QR for each game, I recommend saving a screenshot of your code to use. Super time saver!
