### 3/5 — Так себе

*2026-03-04, version 2.2*

Ребята, вам нужно было убрать только взрывы за картой, всё. Щас она из классной лампововой игры превратилась в кусок мыла(

### 1/5 — Cringe

*2025-05-21, version 2.1*

Sometimes planes just crush outside of visible area making it impossible to dodge from player.

### 1/5 — NOPE

*2023-08-10*

This Is a rip off of planes control, and the planes down even touch, then they explode. Even if they do, that explosion is very unnecessary. Plus you don’t need that much coins just to get another level.

### 2/5 — I’m frustrated!

*2020-08-29*

I really do like this game, but it is also very frustrating too.  When you get to a certain point it seems like it is almost impossible to handle all the planes they throw at you, at the same time.  I can handle 5, 6 or 7, but when they put over a dozen on the game it is almost impossible to safely handle (land) them all.  It almost seems that they want you to fail and this is very frustrating.  I’m also guessing that this game originates in Russia, because it seems that many of the planes have Russian markings.  I don’t have anything against the Russians, but I wonder if this may be a reason why they don’t seem to want to fix some of these issues that exist with the game.

Above is my previous review.  Yes, I am still frustrated and now I am thoroughly disgusted.  I think I’m a pretty good player and according to the game’s Leaderboard my score is in the 400s and I’ve ranked in the top 25.  But, I’m convinced that this is as high as I’ll ever get.  There are so many negatives involved, that many of the other reviewers have mentioned.  I have these same issues.  It’s no fun playing a game that you can never get better at.  Before, I played this game almost every day.  Now, I rarely play it at all, maybe once or twice a week.  Eventually, I will probably delete this game entirely, unless the game improves in the areas that have been mentioned.

### 1/5 — Extremely broken

*2020-04-24*

Nearly impossible to get the game to register your path as actually hitting the runway. Twice, green paths have turned white the moment the plane should have “landed.”

### 3/5 — Get Planes Control.

*2019-08-20*

It’s very hard to land the planes, and you can’t help off-screen crashes. Planes Control is a better traffic control app than this one, so get Planes Control.

### 3/5 — Есть проблемки

*2019-06-23, version 2.1*

Первое: 
Почему некоторые самолёты врезаются за пределами?
Второе: 
Все улучшения и Карты стоят дорого! Очень долго зарабатывать 
Пока что только три звезды(

### 2/5 — Баги.

*2019-06-13, version 2.1*

Игра отличная 5/5 но баги просто ужасные. Купил доп. полосу  и она через некоторое время исчезла, попробовал купить снова, деньги снимает а вот полоса не появляется. И это при том что без доната  тут очень долго нужно копить монету, так что 3 из 5.

### 2/5 — In App Purchases don’t work.

*2019-05-08*

I have tried multiple times to make in app purchases, I pay for them but don’t get anything. Don’t buy anything from this app.

### 5/5 — Really good addicted

*2019-01-31, version 2.1*

Love them all
