Leave a Review Infinite Flight Simulator
This is better than real life
I have been playing this game for over 2 years now and I am just astonished! The graphics totally destroy every other flight simulator out there that is on the market. This game is so good that I even consider this my main app for my iPhone. I am almost active 24/7 on this game and I just always fly long haul fights to see the beauty of the scenery the developers put in. If you are going to buy 1 and only 1 flight simulator, make sure it is Infinite flight!
I am though having a few problems with the game though. When I purchase infinite flight Pro, it like in a vision that it almost instantly fades away. The subscription time is pretty short in an effect and it is pretty expensive. I paid over $1000 just for this game alone above all my apps, I gotta say that my bank account is almost dry.
Overall, infinite flight instantly obliterates all graphics from any other game and also kills real life graphics mentally. Thanks for reading this feedback message!Show lessAndrae Phan
Best mobile simulator hands down!
When IF first hit the App Store I wasn’t super impressed. It was very buggy and the feature set was limited. However over the years it has become a leading light in the mobile flight sim space, and actually the entire flight sim space overall. The live ATC is untouched by any other simulator out there, with real people volunteering their time to do traffic control for the rest of us.
They regularly release new planes and update older ones. While the ground and sky graphics are miles behind other sims, and I’d like to see live cockpit environments where you can actually interact with switches, instruments, etc., I’ll gladly forego those features for now for the live ATC. For me it’s a learning tool towards a goal of eventually earning my PPL.
Finally, there’s a large 3rd party dev community making great companion apps and websites for IF. I’m looking forward to the new global map with improved ground textures and features sometime in the future. And to all those who complain about the cost of individual airplanes or lack of other features this sim might not be for you. Getting the most out of IF requires a subscription which opens up live ATC and gives you all of the aircraft. If you’re looking for realism when it comes to ATC, download this sim, open your wallet, pay for the subscription and start flying!Show lesssjracer

Thank you for the great review! It's been interesting years with ups & downs for sure.. most of the ups though :)Very good flight sim but should add this:
Hello I love this game escpecially being able to fly across the globe. The only thing that I would like is the addition of more planes and even rockets. The developers were able to make a game to fly across the globe so why can’t they add space even if it’s just the moon or international space station. It would be cool to see the space shuttle or falcon 9 especially to be able to land the booster back at Cape Canaveral. And it wouldn’t require the addition of many more airports/launch pads I would only like to see Cape Canaveral, vandenberg, French Guiana, Baikonor cosmodrome, mid Atlantic launch pad, and the Chinese pads. If this was added a lot more people would probably purchase this game and the subscription due to the fact that space has become a big topic of conversation today. I feel like it would really add something to this game that would put it far ahead of any competition. Thank you for your time I hope you are able to read this review.Show lessLast Frontier🔭🛰
Amazing game, but could use a few improvements
I’ve been playing this game a long time and it improves every time. Spectacular graphics and realistic planes. Well worth $5.00. A few things to add to the game is to make the lights shine more especially the landing lights. Especially at night, it is hard to see the runway and making the lights shine out more would be awesome. Another thing would be to make the C17 plane have animated flaps and so forth. It has been in the game for a long time and could desperately use an update. A great feature would be to have functioning switches inside the cockpit similar to what is in X-Plane 11. One last thing would be if you could add smoke or heat wave effects coming out of the engines in commercial planes and fire coming out of the military planes. This would really top off the graphics in the game. Last but not least, more updates. It seems like forever since we get app updates from you guys and it would be awesome to see more. One thing I’d wish for is to add the F-35B plane to the game. I would greatly appreciate a developer response! Keep up the great work on this awesome game! Thanks!Show lessB A Pro Gamer
Best flight sim ever
I bought this app a year ago, and I have loved it. It is my main simulator. For those say that the $5 is a demo, this is a lot more than a demo. You get around 8 aircraft with lots of detail and accurate physics. No other mobile flight sim comes with that many aircraft. This sim also contains stunning graphics no matter where you fly. If you buy the pro subscription, you get a whole lot more. You get nearly 40 aircraft, access to all new features in updates, global flight, and 3 multiplayer servers for each skill level. The live experience is amazing once you get used to it. You get a lot of detailed planes and thousands of worldwide airports. For those complaining about the price: I have done calculations (probably inaccurate), and this game probably costs over $3 million to operate. This sim is how it’s developers make money. Paying the 12 developers is expensive. Next, the 3 huge servers are very expensive. The satellite imagery costs nearly a million dollars. Aircraft research, the community, and other costs are thousands of dollars. Also, the yearly subscription isn’t the only option. It cost just $10 to get all these features for a month. Try it out and see how good it is. If you want to continue, buy the subscription for a longer period of time, and you will get a discount. Overall, this is a great app, and I thank the developers for all their effort that they put into this app.
I hope you found this review helpful. Thanks for reading.Show lessZachary_Lane

Thank you for the great review! We appreciate your support.Wow, it’s worse than it thought. Let me explain
Ok so when I first bought the game it was 5$. And then you had the option of paying $4 per aircraft, yeah you heard right, $4. But wait, there’s more, you could also choose to pay $80 per year for Infinite Flight Pro which unlocked a few extra planes, Atc, online multiplayer, and free flight. This is what’s changed, so you used to could but almost every aircraft for $4 now you can only buy a few. So Air Force One (VC-25) was at one time $4, now it can only be flown with Pro, that’s not the only plane though, almost every Boeing was that price, now they require pro. Needless to say I’m glad I purchased the aircraft when I did or I would be disappointed in paying $5 for a demo. Back to the $80... this is ridiculous. I guess people are paying it so why would they lower the price any. Devs cost a lot but the price could be lowered and more people might actually be willing to pay. So yeah this game has gone downhill a lot and might not ever go back up. I’m not paying $80 a year for a MOBILE GAME, but I guess other people are. It seems like the creators are just greedy, I could be wrong but..... that’s what it seems like. I would like to add, however that it is fun even though I don’t pay for pro and the aircraft are detailed sooo there’s that.
I think that about covers it.Show lessRJC5588

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, online play requires the operation of servers and consistent monitoring which is very costly. We understand subscriptions are not for everyone, so in order to provide the best possible experience and continue further development, we have made the online subscription available as an optional purchase only.Disappointed
This was one of my first flying apps I really liked. So much so, that I purchased it and several planes that I really wanted to fly. Then came the updates with more details, nice. Then another update showed up and guess what! All of the planes other than the ones I purchased can only be used IF you subscribe! And how much is it to subscribe? Way too much money. I was both shocked and disappointed. I have told so many of my friends about this app and they purchased the app too before all of this money grabbing took over. As one reviewer mentioned, I understand you have to make money for the program so that it can continue to evolve or improve, but that sub price is crazy! I will continue to fly using the planes I have, but until they do something about making it fair for those who loved your app for so long, I will start looking at other apps and I have found a few that really is good that includes radio chatter, different airports, weather, and trouble shooting for real life like scenarios. Even some having landing lights that actually show on the runway! Imagine that! How about you go and charge higher prices for the planes we want to purchase but keep the game as it was? I know many who’d be willing to do that. Anyway... that’s it. So disappointed.Show lessErwincano

You have not lost any of the aircraft that you previously purchased. We still honor the previous purchases. Please tap "Restore purchases" in the aircraft selection screen and your aircrafts should be restored. If not, a simple uninstall / reinstall of the app often resolves this issue, and ensures a proper download of the app. If the issue continues, contact our Support team at support@infiniteflight.com for assistance.Simply Amazing
I have been both a student pilot in real life, having logged time in cessnas, and I have been using flight simulators since 1998. I also have flown around the world commercially. Infinite Flight is the real deal. The newest release of the TBM was huge, as the application remembered to keep general aviation alive in this game. It offers plenty of choices in regards to commercial aircraft. The scenery is simply amazing. We don’t need 3D buildings or terminals, we just need a physics supported flight simulator that gives users the feeling of flight in both commercial and general aviation aircraft. Infinite flight does just that. They have developed a very accurate CRJ series, along with the TBM, Airbus, etc. As long as they keep improving the aircraft that they have, they will be the number one flight simulator for a long time. There is no need to rush in adding new jets, instead, they just need to keep improving the ones they have. Not to mention, they have real atc and live mode. I have been doing flight simulators for over 20 years and infinite flight is my favorite because of its mobility, realism and continued growth. Get on board.Show lessSeanMac88
Great app
Airplane graphics are incredible! The photo-realistic scenery is stunning. The updates to the navaids have worked very well. I know the hard work these developers put into making this game what it is- it’s truly a passion for them. With all the positive things out of the way, it’s time for the not-so-good. And by “not so good”, I mean they work ok, but could be better. I would love better engine sounds- I know they’ve made improvements to the original, but they could use some real-world sounds from a Trent 892 or the GE 90-94- something fitting for the particular specs for each plane (it's quite the ask, I know). Another small item would be the airport layouts- taxiway signage and terminals. Finally, when landing, there could be some attention to the realism there- smoke and tire screeching would go a long way.
Other than the “negatives” this is by far the best app on the market specifically aimed at the aviation enthusiast. Well done IF gang for all your hard work. I look forward to many great things from your efforts.Show lessMsflyer411
WOW
This is more than a game.. it’s a top notch simulator.
I mean, considering everything you get, it’s 5 stars. Just think about what other simulators offer a full multiplayer UI, with 3 different servers ranging from no rules to heavy enforcement of rules for players all types/ skill level. This sim comes with full fledged realistic air traffic control (PPL student speaking there) with tower, ground, ATIS, approach, and departure, with controllers that know what they’re doing on the expert server (tests needed to get in).
On top of multiplayer, we get a full scale earth model, a flight from Houston to Frankfurt WILL take 10 hours, we get wonderful scenery and friendly staff that replies and helps whenever possible at our community forum. That’s right, FDS got a discourse website and we have a forum with 50,000+ thousand users ready to answer questions and help. You get to fly with incentive and rewards for the many virtual airlines out there, explore the globe with friends met on the community, and practice pilot skills (PPL student confirmation there) on the go!
I actually credit my real world aviation from infinite flight.
Nothing, and I mean nothing beats this. This is just astounding for the aspect of it being mobile, I can not give it enough stars, try it out, I guarantee you will love it!Show lessSam74729
