Review summary

Review consensus highlights strong graphics and aircraft variety, with an enjoyable flight-sim feel. However, persistent issues include challenging controls/landings, pay-to-play monetization, and poor save/purchase restoration. Maintenance gaps and outdated updates compound frustrations, while many users want more content (bigger maps, more airports/aircraft). Overall, visuals and scope are positives, but usability, monetization, and upkeep are recurring drawbacks.

Pros

High-quality graphics and visuals (beautiful graphics, nice water/ scenery)
Wide variety of airports and aircraft, offering diverse environments
Overall enjoyable and engaging flight-sim experience and some reviews call it the best plane game on the App Store
Controls described as detailed in some reviews, indicating depth and realism

Cons

Difficult and sometimes imprecise controls with landing issues (bouncing, crashing, unstable handling)
Pay-to-play concerns with expensive planes and in-app purchases that gate content
Progress and purchases can be lost after reinstall or device change (cloud save issues) and no reliable restore
Lack of updates and maintenance (sentence about no updates since 2018) signaling stagnation
Desire for more content (larger map, more airports, more aircraft)

2025-10-10	wr*****	I remember this game from my childhood, just recently rediscovered it, it’s been 8 years since I played this, everything is so good and different before COVID arrived. I was just a child discovering new things and enjoying new stuff, and getting open to the world, and playing this game and discovering new graphics and stuff in the internet until COVID came. I’m now a high schooler since then and now I just want to look back to even the smallest part of my memory to cherish what I lost. So remember whoever is reading this, cherish the moments you have and be grateful, you do not know what value something has before you lose it. For a peaceful world

2022-04-06	to*****	I can’t pass the learning how to land my plane level, UGH IVE TRIED LIKE 5 TIMES AND I STILL CAN’T PASS THIS STUPID LEVEL, EVERY TIME I LAND MY PLANE ON WATER, NO MATTER WHAT, MY PLANE IMMEDIATELY CRASHES AND I FAIL THE GODDAMN MISSION, TAKE THIS GARBAGE GAME OFF THE APP STORE. this game wasn’t free to download, trust me this game was not free to download, instead I just wasted my 1 dollar on some stupid memory game and wants me to generate frustration. The controls are super awful and hard to control the plane, and therefore, I recommend you don’t play this game unless you want to generate frustration and make you angry, the graphics are also horrible and trashy, also when you land your plan at a airport, instead the plane goes too fast and make you go off the runaway and crashing somewhere, landing an airplane on water is really hard than landing at an airport. The planes are too freaking expensive like heck, you’re instead forced to spend real money to buy currency in order to buy planes in other episodes in order to access those levels. I’m done spending my money on your worthless games, tough luck, guess you lost a customer and no more money from me ever again, I want a refund

2021-02-01	to*****	Fantastic :) but the thing is that it pay to play I’m really annoyed how you work so hard to get something like the a320 but then next 2 levels you have to get a 747 when you don’t know that you have to get it please change the prices of all the planes I don’t think a Cessna is worth 35k
