Community Insight:
Ive had this game for years and have awalys loved it! It took a second to learn how to play the game but it is very fun so we upgraded to the full version and we really love all the ways you can change the speed and the perks of the paddles. The cogs are also really cheap. And overall we would give the full version a 10/10 and the Lite version a 8/10.
The game was really fun and good so we had to upgrade to the full version and cogs are so cheap we really like this game.
Love the game everything works really smooth and is all pretty realistic for a sim.
Really enjoyable game. Would recommend.
U can't find a game like this. It is so challenging and fun. U need to play THIS.
Feel so so real, more difficult and competitive, enjoy it so much.
Love this game. Finished all the countries a while ago. Decided to start over and play again.
This game is still the Gold Standard in table tennis after all these years.
It does indeed enhance ones ability for on the court, however, this game is far too easy.we were able to upgrade our pad to 100% spin and power after just winning a couple tournys and beating a few countries, we are completely unstoppable at this point Forrest Gump wouldnt top us Please make another version but one that is extremely difficult.
Game hasnt been updated in 4 years. Great format but the challenge is weak. All opponents are lousy servers.
This game has the same control problems most table tennis games have. The concept doesnt translate well to a touchscreen. Fine for a dollar. The in app stuff is annoying but standard. Ultimately, a little disappointing but its a good try; maybe, one of the better table tennis sims on the App Store.
Laggy and unresponsive on iPhone X.
Dont waste your money. Controls are awful and AI opponents too OP.
It glitches all the time and do not waste your money on this crap.
New app with different name. Old app gone. New name we have to pay again.
El juego es muy bueno compre algunos piones nunca los recib pero mi dinero si lo cobraron ese es el nico problema.
Very addicting and overall a great game, well put together but there could be more put into it.
It is okay but it would be bette if it had Multiply player.
Hours of fun. Best table tennis app. Highly recommended.
It's really beautiful game. We like too much. And we enjoy a lot with this game.
Love this game, especially tournament mode. Have enjoyed for years.
Plays remarkably like real ping pong. Best ping pong sim we've played.
We're a ping pong junkie. We think our family is planning an intervention. So we're going to hide from them.
We only wish there was a set of techniques with the racquet directing available to us the game more fun.
Paddle moves were our finger isn't fix this.
Great game. Maybe not realistic but c'mon it's an app.
The top flashing banner is very annoying and in the way. We lost many times because of it. Please take it away. It is not serving any purpose. Otherwise, it is a good game.
A lot of fun should've had more than 10 tournaments.
Love playing this game. Would have put 5 stars but it lacks a bit of challenge when you play advanced countries. To many times we win by the computer hitting it off the table on game point serve. Would like to win by beating the computer not a glitch technicality. Controls are great and it has playability meaning it has longevity to play over and over.
Love it, perfect way to kill some time.. Great all the way around.
It's a good ping-pong game! Good way to pass the time.
Pretty nice and entertaining game we like it.
We spend hours playing this game. If you're a fan of ping-pong we cannot tell you enough about how realistic this game is and just how much fun you're going to have playing it attempting to achieve and unlock the new tables and paddles. We do think it's a little frustrating that the computer can serve fast but you can't. If we missing something the developer of this app should really put together an FAQ document that teaches you how to serve the ball faster. Also we think it would be cool if they release an update with some better tables and more paddles to unlock. Our final recommendation would be a wait for you text us your own paddle by uploading a photo. We have a few other ideas as well that we think it be really cool.
Played this game for years… Its good! But its annoying that even the best opponents miss their serves all the time, often both serves! Really? Whats the fun in that? No good ping pong player misses 8 serves in a match! Ridiculous.
Great game and good on battery life ..but needs a major update to fit the resolutions of the 6plus and s plus.
We love this game, we played the free version no problem. We bought the full version and every time the GameCenter banner comes up saying welcome back, the app freezes. There is no way around it and we are unable to play the game at all. We tried deleting the game and re downloading it several times and nothing! Please help.
The computers are always hitting the ball where it won't let you reach it. It's IMPOSSIBLE. MAKE THE GAME MUCH MUCH EASIER.
Come on. This is just dumb. Looks awful and it's lazy. Plus your AI has never recovered from one of your old updates. Can't count the times the computer serves off the table and gives us free points. Dumb. And not fun. The people that created this app have obviously made their money and have checked out.
Do not buy this app! We bought cogs and it took our 5$ and never gave us the cogs! It's a rip off! They are trying to scam you.
We bought the 2$ purchase, and it charged our account, but we didn't get anything from it.
We just spent 99 cents on this game and it didn't give us what we payed for and still took our money so we tried again and the same thing happened! We WANT MY MONEY BACK.
Tried to buy the same in app purchase 3 times, saying it was successful and charging each time, but not getting the in game money. What the heck.
We spent 4 dollars on the cogs and it gave us none of them! We better get our cogs or a refund.
Used to be a fun game, one of our favorites, now it is unplayable! We can't even keep the ball on the table… Ruined a fun game.
This is not a flick game and it ain't worth a flip.
No la compren esto es una estaba.
Bad game won't even let us play it.
The commands barely work and the ball never goes where it should based on the angle. We like real ping pong anyway. Glad this was free.
Unrealistic -No way of adding sidespin to service -no way to lift the ball -no backspin or topspin -crashes often -most of the paddles have illegal rubbers -no information about pips -doesn't have any selection for rubbers sponges or blades -doesn't have bats -countries ranked stereotypically Overall stupid, unrealistic, and too simple.
If you enjoy being frustrated, please download this junk. Horrible ergonomics and gameplay.
