## Review summary

Visual Pinball on iOS is praised for portability, strong visuals, and a free, community-driven experience with a large table library. Major drawbacks are DMD placement that can’t be adjusted, no iPad fullscreen, performance constraints on older devices, and a setup that can require external keyboards for advanced controls. Some tables also fail to load or start. Overall, it offers a rich mobile VPX experience, especially for pinball enthusiasts willing to handle setup and compatibility quirks.

### Pros

- Portable VPX experience on iOS with an easy setup
- High-quality visuals on iPad and iPhone; tables look great
- Free to use and supported by a passionate developer/community
- Large table library and easy access to a wide range of VPX tables on the go

### Cons

- DMD visibility issues: the DMD is often off-screen and cannot be moved or resized within the app
- No fullscreen support on iPad and related UI/resolution limitations (cropped plunger/outlanes, 9:16 scaling)
- Performance and compatibility problems on older devices: memory limits prevent many tables from loading or running smoothly
- Complex setup and reliance on external keyboards for advanced features (dipswitches, camera presets)
- Some tables fail to load or start and users report loading errors or crashes
