### 5/5 — Awesome 🚁

*2019-07-09, version 3.0*

Great game, can’t believe it’s free now!

### 4/5 — Disappointed

*2017-05-06, version 2.0.0*

I was so looking forward to this game, but I don't like the two thumbs control.  I'm too uncoordinated.  I would have much preferred tilt control.  Sorry, sure wanted to like it.
Part 2: You did it Stefan!  Tilt.  And now I can do it.  Thanks.

**Developer response:** Hello, 
  Sorry to hear that the thumbsticks was not your cup of tea. I'm pleased to let you know that "Ace Maverick" does support tilt controls in current versions.

### 5/5 — Amazing graphics

*2016-08-19, version 2.0.0*

Great fun and stunning graphics.

### 3/5 — Controls Need Improvement

*2015-10-29, version 1.0.3*

I don't understand why this game doesn't give us the option of using the amazing technology inherent in the iPad i.e. The accelerometer. The game is probably awesome but, I'll never know because I'm not coordinated enough for the thumb controls. Being able to adjust the sensitivity of the controls would also have helped. 
I suggest the Devs check out Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy to get a sense of how the controls can be improved.
 Glad I'm only out 2 bucks!

### 4/5 — fun Arcade Game !

*2015-10-15, version 1.0.2*

one of the few helicopter Games available at the App Store .

### 2/5 — Possibilities... nice physics, but...

*2015-09-15*

Seems to go from playable to impossible in one mission... way too many enemies to handle, while I'm still trying to master flying this machine. The throttle desperately needs a reverse rather than a stop function.

### 2/5 — They should do much better for 5 bucks.

*2015-09-06, version 1.0.1*

Glitchiest game I've ever purchased. Doesn't let me complete missions even when I've accomplished everything. Even the sound glitches and plays in slow-mo. Gameplay is fine, but repetitive.
