Análisis de la app AirPong: Phone Ping Pong para 2 de noviembre

No table, no ball. Your phone is the paddle. AirPong turns table tennis into a game of sound. Swing your phone and it pops like a real paddle hit. The ball flies over and lands with a “tock” on your opponent’s phone. When you hear it land on your side, swing it back. Back and forth, the sound really travels between the two ends of the table. PLAY A FRIEND • Stand facing each other and tap “Play a Friend”. No internet, no accounts • Swing harder and the ball flies faster, so it is harder to return • Stand farther apart and the ball flies longer (on iPhones with Ultra Wideband) • Games to 11, serve changes every 2 points, and the score is called out loud • Lost connection? It reconnects and picks up where you left off PRACTICE • No opponent? Play a game against the AI • The harder you smash, the more likely the AI misses FEELS LIKE THE REAL THING • Only swings with the screen or back facing forward count. Slicing with the edge does not • Recorded paddle and table sounds • A haptic tap on every hit • Adjustable sensitivity, so gentle swings work too FIRST TIME? A one-minute tutorial shows you how to hold, swing and return a ball. Tip: hold your phone firmly or use a wrist strap, and watch out for people and things around you.
