Review summary

PinGuy is praised for accurate, easy pinball leveling with voice prompts and the ability to level from under the playfield without extra hardware. It supports table and glass options and sees frequent updates. However, the app is hampered by recurring crashes and broken save/collection features, risking lost progress. Reinstalling can temporarily fix issues, but a stable collection workflow and bug fixes are needed for consistent use.

Pros

Very accurate and simple to use for leveling
Eliminates the need for a separate digital level; can level a table by yourself
Helpful voice prompts guide you through leveling (including under the pin)
Flexible options for playfield, glass, and table alignment
Active updates and improvements keep it vital for pinball setups

Cons

Crashes when accessing the Collections feature, interrupting work
Saving/collections functionality is buggy and can lead to data loss
Stability appears to degrade after adding multiple machines; reinstall often fixes it
Collection management is not intuitive and lacks easy restore options outside the collection menu

2025-11-22	Th*****	This app is awesome. Set your phone on the playfield then get your body under the table and start cranking feet. Then the app tells you what’s going on and where to provide some attention. I thought I would need to buy a digital level and crawl around then get up and check only to crawl around again. This app is awesome for us old guys that want our pins set up correctly. Thank you so much. 100 stars.

2021-05-13	Da*****	I love this pinball leveling app and recommend it to anyone that asks me the best way to level a game. I always just use the playfield feature and set the phone between the flippers. I don’t bother with saving games and learning the glass. If you’re setting up a game, you’ll have the glass off anyway to put the balls back in.

2020-05-27	Lm*****	It was a great app, but ever since I added another (4th or 5th) machine yesterday it crashes every time I hit the Collections button. Update: I deleted the app and reinstalled, and it hasn’t crashed after (re-)adding a dozen games. So you can try that if you have the crashing problem. Also, as a precaution save (export) your collection after adding each new machine and you won’t have to start over from scratch if you have to reinstall.
