User Reviews

Flight Theory HD is a fun, approachable flight sim with good controller support, solid graphics, and a decently sized play area. Reviewers praise its learning curve and accelerometer-based flight. However, the app is plagued by stability and control problems: frequent crashes, unresponsive or misbehaving controls after updates, and landing/diving difficulties. Players also report issues with in‑app purchases and cross‑device payments, plus progression gating that locks planes and blocks missions. Overall, it has potential but requires fixes to stability, control, and monetization flows.

Pros

Fun and approachable flight sim experience with realistic-feel controls.
Excellent game controller support; more realistic controls when using a controller.
Large flyable area with good graphics and smooth performance on capable devices.
Easy to learn with accelerometer-based flight and a fair challenge.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues across multiple reviews.
Controls often fail or feel unresponsive, with difficulty steering and flying.
Landing and stopping are problematic; difficulty landing and keeping from crashing; no brakes.
In-app purchase and cross-device payment problems, including persistent prompts to buy.
Progression too gated, with some missions unreachable or planes locked behind level requirements.

Recent reviews

I love flight sims and have enjoyed many on IOS. This one is refreshing and fun. The controls are good leaning on realism. Not the best as a flight sim but fun to fly. Works welll with a game controller. The game controller gives you more controls than tilt steering. Recommend using a game controller for more realism. It has a lot area to fly with good graphics, runs smoothly on my IPad 6th Gen. The altitude in Feet does not work in imperial measurement but switching to metric does fine.

The volcano level is not passable.

I really tried hard to like this game but it wouldn't even let me land on one of the missions! I also bought all of the planes and it still wouldn't let me fly them!!! I would really like my $5.00 back now! Cheap and no good!!!
