The Ask Homework app has come a long way since the first iOS release over a year ago. Thanks to a ton of feedback from the Pinball Arcade Fans forums the app has been tuned a lot by the developer. Finally it has been released on Android and it really plays well. It has good physics and a night mode - best lighting I have seen on Android to date. There are a lot of in app purchases, but Gold gives everything including 28 great Zac tables, night mode, physic adjustments, customisable cameras, worn playfield options, metalfx, and glass reflections. It also includes a few Zacarria EMs still to be released. More physics improvements also coming.

Anyone else tried this? What do you think?

Someone posted some settings in the TPA forums which slow it down a lot, so you can try adjusting from there.

I prefer SIM mode, but the settings above are good for some 'old school' play style. The beauty of the app is you can configure to your hearts content.

I can't put this down. Don't be put off trying it based on your experiences with previous pinball physics in the apps by this company. These seem pretty rock solid, and the gameplay in Sim mode is pretty close to a real table to me. The great lighting and sounds are also see spot on. Buy the night time lighting if nothing else.

Did you try the physics adjustments posted above? The gameplay is slower with those. Incidentally I watched a few videos of real Zacc tables and was quite surprised how fast some of them played, as I was expecting typical EM style gameplay.

The iOS version with the new physics is also out in about a week.

New version released on Android today with the Combat table, and lighting updates on some tables.

iOS version with new physics should be out in about a week.

Did you try turning off game room background, and glass refelection? Might help, although your IPad / Android tablet might be OK.
