### 3/5 — Bring back support for Backbone controllers

*2025-01-13, version 3.51*

I love the game, it could just be so much better with a controller like BackBone….. if it had that support it you’d be a 5 out of 5.

### 4/5 — Absolute RC Sim

*2024-03-29, version 3.51*

Works great with the Xbox controller, highly recommend this sim.

### 4/5 — Best rc sim

*2023-12-14*

I love this game the stuff in it is very realistic I just wish that they would fix the glitch when you are a pilot in the paid maps and they all look like a grassy fields. Otherwise it’s the best rc sim there is

### 4/5 — Paid twice

*2023-05-23*

If I would have known about this version I would have bought it in the first place instead of buying several choppers in the other app supporting the app. So I almost paid twice the cost of this version :(

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-02-25*

Loved it

### 5/5 — Recommended

*2022-12-26, version 3.51*

Very good

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-10-21, version 3.51*

The game is great and all but it needs online multiplayer and a built in mod menu

### 5/5 — Lots of RC FuN ‼️

*2022-10-17, version 3.51*

I think it’s pretty cool 😎, it’s free ‼️ it has a A380 .. What more dose one expect ✌🏼

### 5/5 — Best game for the road

*2022-07-24*

While I was on a 3 hour ride this kept me entertained for a hour, i recommend it.

### 5/5 — Great RC plane simulator

*2022-07-22*

Good variety of planes. The planes look great! I like that it has three levels of autopilot like Horizon Hobby SAFE technology to assist while I learn. None of the other RC plane simulators have that on the IPad. Planes have flaps and some have retractable landing gear. I having a blast with this app!

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-06-28*

暇なときにラジコンの感が鈍らないように遊んでます。

### 5/5 — INSANE!

*2022-02-03*

A bit pricey but what you get is a must have

### 5/5 — I really like it!

*2021-10-30, version 3.51*

Please add more planes!!

### 5/5 — G O D T I E R

*2021-08-06, version 3.51*

probs best rc game i’ve played, the cost compared to the main game with all rc packs is a steal, super fun.
Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Solid app for mobile

*2021-04-19, version 3.51*

Great lil app that helps a lot with line of sight orientation.

### 5/5 — Should be better

*2021-03-06*

Great game don’t get me wrong but the Landon’s physics is totally broken. Whenever I land a small majority of the plane they don’t run smoothly and flat out blow up. Also every little bump or scratch on the taxing out results in the plane being blown up and unable to fly. The last thing is that some models look like the retractable landing gear was just rushed and thrown on it doesn’t go into the plane and sticks out weird the f 16 specifically and the zero and t33. All in all for 20 dollars I expected to get a good bug free game and not a broken physics game. For the money I paid being 20 dollars on a app it should either be 10$ max or run and be tested perfectly smoothly. The other comments address some other concerns. Basically if you want to it’s a great app but just don’t expect it to run perfect on landings and the I’m pretty sure the drones are completely broken anyway that’s it.

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2021-01-03*

I love this game so much.

### 1/5 — Terribly flaky controller support

*2021-07-10*

Edited review: It’s even worse than I originally thought

I have an older Steelseries Nimbus controller and this sim originally almost worked with it. I have a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9”, so it’s not old hardware. Originally, the sim would lose contact with the controller frequently, or suddenly start mixing up some of the controls. I could usually manage to get it linked again by clearing the setup and reassigning the controller. Sometimes it was also necessary to kill and restart the app. Since the last iOS update, however, the controller no longer works at all. The sim just doesn’t see it at all. So it’s now useless because you can’t practice flying RC planes with touch controls. 

My brother got the new Nimbus+ on my recommendation specifically for this sim and it never worked at all. He tried everything for hours, including all control modes, pairing and unpairing, reinstalling, nothing worked, and he eventually had to give up.

I wrote to their support and got an unfriendly reply saying basically that it wasn’t possible that the controller wasn’t working and it must be defective. I doubt that, since both controllers worked fine with all other games. Just not with this one. 

Your mileage may vary with other controllers, but this didn’t work at all for me. Complete waste of €23.

### 1/5 — Kauf abratend

*2019-07-28*

-Keine vernünftige Flug Physik 
-Flugzeuge lassen sich fast alle gleich fliegen,(somit ist der Simulator langweilig und einseitig )
 -22€ total übertrieben der Kauf ist überflüssig 
Kauf abratend !!!!!!!! !!!!

Hätte mir wirklich viel erhofft 😕

### 1/5 — Upside down, please fix

*2017-12-19*

App is running upside down on iPad 10.5, fix soon!

### 1/5 — Too Much Money

*2017-11-23, version 3.03*

This game is quite a bit overpriced for the content it has. You can’t physically visit other airports and you can’t interact with the airplanes much. I would pick RC plane 3 over this.

Suggestions: Make price lower or put more effort into the game.

### 1/5 — Poor testing

*2015-07-28, version 2.92*

Gear and flaps don't work on planes that use them.

### 1/5 — Hold Up...

*2015-06-13, version 2.66.0*

I purchased this game to use while on vacation, traveling, etc. With no connection to internet the game locks the location and vehicle selection to what is available in the free version. For this reason, I would not recommend buying this game. Update the app to allow off network play and I will gladly change my rating.

### 1/5 — Не понравилось!

*2014-11-21*

Использовал пока только самолеты и вертолеты, физика отвратная, модели так не летают, настоящей управлять гораздо сложнее! ( Научиться управлять моделью не получится, только слегка поймете, что такое управление р/у самолетом/вертолетом. В общем, своих денег не стоит!!!!

### 1/5 — IOS8 breaks this app

*2014-09-19, version 2.64.0*

As of the time of this review 9/19 - the iOS upgrade to 8 breaks this app and causes viewing in only portrait mode.

### 1/5 — Horrível

*2014-05-02*

Se esse é o absoluto eu não quero nem ver o mais simples, um monomotor e um caça a jato tem a mesma sensibilidade. Não me ajudou nada para me preparar para o hobby e não serve nem como jogo pois os gráficos são medíocres. Pior app e o mais caro até hoje que comprou. $ jogado no lixo, já deleitei.

### 2/5 — Pas compatible écran Ipad pro 11

*2019-05-22*

Toujours pas de MAJ pour compatibilité avec l’écran de L’Ipad pro 11. Ecran tronqué..... vraiment dommage!

### 5/5 — GS23

*2026-02-26, version 3.51*

I love this game so much. It’s really cool.

### 5/5 — Amazing trainer game

*2025-03-01*

Would recommend

### 5/5 — Great sim but..

*2025-01-11*

It’s a great sim don’t get me wrong, but it’s INCREDIBLY un-realistic. Tip stalls and wing drops are non existent and when you cut the throttle for a stall test it just floats down even with full up elevator. Its a great sim for hand movements but not for ultra realism like real flight for PC

### 5/5 — Good fun

*2024-12-05, version 3.51*

Good fun with lots of models.  Using a Bluetooth gamepad with it.  Happy flier.

### 5/5 — 😊

*2024-11-29*

Plus d avion svp

### 5/5 — Such a great program

*2024-11-22*

I say program because it is so much more than an app. Whether you are new to RC or a pinned in due to weather pro, you will love this. Flaps, landing gear and more are included in this great program. It’s a no-brainer. The add-on’s are reasonably priced and totally worth it.

### 5/5 — controls

*2024-05-13*

Simply fantastic …!! Have spent quite some hours going through all the aircraft which was purchased quite some time back.

### 5/5 — Still Good After I Rated!

*2024-04-22*

Do I need to explain? This game is the best! Whoever disagrees is bad! Though that I would request adding the SR-71 Blackbird, and continue adding more RC-CAR Fields, but although it’s a good game!
😊😁🙂‍↕️

### 5/5 — An original!

*2024-02-09*

I love this game a lot! It’s useful! Though there is one bug you need to fix. Falling through the ground with Rc-Cars. But my favorite planes are in this game! Boeing 747, Airbus A380! 10/10!! ✈︎ I’m proud ✈️👍🏻

### 5/5 — Great fun app

*2023-07-07*

Thank you for making a fun rc plane game.
