Awesome that it is now out on iOS. I love playing TPA on my iPad. Off to purchase it now and try it out. Can't wait to play Star Trek on my iPad! Maybe I can finally learn the rules, lol.

Quoted from westofrome:I can't seem to get landscape mode to work in iOS? And yes, I'm rotating the phone before I start a game, like in traditional Pinball Arcade.
Landscape mode doesn't seem to be working for me either on my iPad. I've only tried Mustang so far and that game looks rather dark compared to the tables on TPA. The instructions are also on a small screen which makes them hard to read.
Quoted from Aphex:I noticed this too. I'm playing on an iPad mini. I also can't enter my initials although I didn't purchase anything yet. It zooms in pass the controls to allow to put them in. These seem like minor issues an update will solve.
The table history for Mustang doesn't list the designer or anything other than the standard press release about the car ?
I just found out that you will have to start the app with your device in landscape. The rotation is currently locked but it will play in landscape if you do that.
Steam will reportedly be released later today.
Star Trek looks pretty good on it, and sounds great with earphones. Such an awesome game. They have a long rules section on it too which is nice.
Quoted from westofrome:Just tried this several times to no avail. Force-quit SPA, open another app to confirm landscape orientation, then restart SPA - no dice, still in portrait only. On an iPhone 6.
Interesting. I hit the home button twice and quit the app completely. I reopened it holding my iPad in landscape orientation and it plays fine that way (my prefered orientation for most games). There shouldn't be a difference between an iPhone and iPad. They did rush this out so it would be available for Christmas, so maybe that is a bug that they will fix when they release the update patch.
Apparently there is also an end of game breaking bug - if you get a local high score there are no controls to move the letters or select for your initials - you're just stuck and have to quit out of the app. Repeatable on Star Trek, A.C./D.C. and Mustang. It's been reported by others and Farsight is away of it. Not something I generally have to be concerned with, lol.
Quoted from Aphex:I will try that out. The interface needs a lilts tweaking. I tried learning the rules on Mustang and you get a tiny screen. I like they were trying something different but there's lots of stuff to fix.
Yes, the instruction screen is way too small to read easily. Hopefully they correct that and make it more like TPA, which is excellent in that regard.
I purchased Star Trek and AC/DC individually since I have all the other games on TPA. I didn't have any problem purchasing either.
