User Reviews

ATC 4.0 is fun and easy to learn with addictive gameplay and extra content, but is plagued by stability issues, unreliable pathing, touch-screen control problems on small devices, slow iOS updates, and sometimes unfair wind-driven level design. Overall sentiment is mixed: engaging when functional but often troubled by recurring technical and balance problems.
Pros
  • Addictive, engaging air-traffic-control style gameplay.
  • Easy to pick up and learn the basics.
  • Expansion packs/add-ons provide more content and variety.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes/freezes and progress not being saved.
  • Touch controls can be finicky on small screens; planes and routes appear tiny.
  • Planes do not reliably follow drawn paths; edge-of-screen losses and wind effects cause misdirection.
  • Compatibility issues with newer iOS versions and slow developer responses.
  • Unbalanced or overly difficult levels due to wind effects and spacing; some levels feel impossible.

I used to love this game but it hasn’t worked on the last few updates to iOS. Don’t bother with this. Just an addendum: I wrote my original review in January, 2018. It took the developers more than 20 months to respond. So, it works now on an Xs. Barely. The game is so out-of-date, with graphics that LOOK the full 15 years old that they are. It’s a 15 year old game that was once fun. There are much better games out there now.
