iOS v1.2.2 Landscape-based everything.

I discovered this as well. Why did they change it? It worked fine the other way. Oh well, at least we get portrait!

I believe I've found the trick. Rotate the screen to portrait (whichever way, side switch or physical rotation) *at the table's menu*.

Yeah, that's what I was doing elsewhere (until I got in a big huff and just started playing something else instead), but, for some reason, I couldn't get the Star Trek table to play ball. Oh well—I'll keep my three quid until the devs show they have the slightest understanding about and care for user experience.

I was playing Williams Pinball Classics today. I believe that in the USA it was called Pinball Hall of Fame. The point is, that game has the perfect UI for a Pinball game, IMO. Would love to see TPA look more like that, one day.

However, the PHoF UI is extremely slow to navigate because of all the animation. Great for consoles, not so much if you want a quick game on your phone or tablet.

An easy fix for this is to simply not rotate your device into landscape mode to use the menu interface. Just turn your head to the side when selecting the table. The table will start in portrait mode if your device is in portrait mode when you launch it.

thank you soooo much for landscape focus!

I have read over and over complaints about the switch to landscape on ios and I am going to praise farsight for it...try playing on an iPod touch in portrait, seriously try it, I have quite small hands for an adult male and despite this, it's next to impossible to play in portrait mode...sure I can play it, but after 5 minutes my hands are cramping like mad. sure it had landscape mode before but it would take 20 mins to get a game started in landscape without it crashing along the way...

kudos to farsight for the landscape switch

While I absolutely think they need to have the option for both landscape and portrait (and its a simple matter to switch to portrait once the table loads), I do have to admite that I've started enjoying the game in landscape. You get a much better view of the play field detail.
