Is It Any Good?

PINBALL is creative and a nice way to pass time while waiting in line, but it's not going to wow true pinball fans. The tables lack depth and stories, and the ball can sometimes be lost in the tables with more colorful backgrounds. The ads are a concern for parents of younger children. The tables deviate from normal pinball play (especially the Space Invaders design), but that's what keeps this app from becoming just another mediocre pinball game. It's free, so if the ads aren't a concern, it's worth a download.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
