### 3/5 — Idk if it’s good or bad

*2026-08-07, version 2.7.1*

First time I opened the app (few minutes ago) I chose to make a new rollercoaster, there was no tutorial and a starting rollercoaster instead of no rollercoaster parts. Then I edited it a bit then clicked ride and it said: “ Upgrade your ride! Support the ongoing development of AirCoaster by purchasing a one-time upgrade to unlock all the features in the app:


: Save and ride tracks from the track editor
: Participate in the online community
: Help keep AirCoaster 100% ad-free



Upgrade to full app.
Unlock all the features in the app.            £1.99 ”

I only just started playing and I already need to pay! 
Maybe I didn’t get the full app…..
I just want to play a rollercoaster game.
I did just start playing today so it might be better than this.
Idk if it’s good or bad so 3 stars.

### 5/5 — 16 years later, still the best app on my phone

*2026-07-17, version 2.7.1*

i’ve never written a review for an app, but I got to thinking about how much AirCoaster has meant to me over the last decade and a half, it got me through: puberty, high school, college finals, stressful work weeks, puberty#2🏳️‍⚧️, breakups, every flight i’ve ever taken, and more waiting-rooms than I could count.  they just don’t make ‘em like this anymore.  i’ve used and love NoLimits and i’ve had phases getting really into many of the amusement park sim games, but this app is so simple and pure that it never lost its magic to me.  this was one of the first apps I installed on my iPod touch when I got it for Christmas at 12 years old, i’m 27 now, and I hope someday i’ll still be creating new coasters in an old folks home on my iPhone 73 when it’s the only app I know how to use anymore.  I hope the dev reads this and knows just how much their work means to me. to risk being melodramatic, your game has on at least two occasions quite literally saved my life.  thanks. <3

### 2/5 — Not enough options of creativity

*2026-07-13, version 2.7.1*

All you can really do is bend the track given, you cannot build any scenery, or add length to the track.  You cannot make any loops or anything, but once I begin to understand the app.  There is a little more you can do with it.

### 1/5 — Oh really dude?!🤬

*2026-07-04, version 2.7.1*

It said this app is free. It is not you pay two dollars for the upgraded version where you get to ride your rides. Do not recommend and the other people who said this is good. You probably wanted to pay that price. It’s too expensive just for three things. so make it free.

### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2026-06-21, version 2.7.1*

I never found a game where you can build your own roller coaster. This is really cool and you can even ride the coasters.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-20, version 2.7.1*

This is a great game, but theres one thing I would add: this game is already super customizable, which is amazing, but if there were other ways to decorate the coaster than just changing the color, like decals or something similar, that would be amazing. But still, this is a great game, would recommend.

### 1/5 — Fun, but then…

*2026-06-17, version 2.7.1*

It always crashes

### 5/5 — Needs a tutorial

*2026-06-13, version 2.7.1*

This game is awesome, I’m glad it doesn’t need physics, but idk how to remove stuff. Thats why we need a tutorial for this game. But I love checking out other peoples rides, especially the non physics ones. But overall, a really great game.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!

*2026-01-29, version 2.7.1*

It’s more fun then you think it is

### 5/5 — What happened to this app?

*2026-01-24, version 1.3*

I love these roller coaster rides. It doesn’t look like anyone has updated in quite a while.
