But the game just locks up way too much. ### 2/5 — Fed up *2026-08-06, version 8.50.0* After playing this game for years I’m fed up. Loads of glitches, yes they may get fixed eventually but you lose out on bonuses or progression and nothing received by way of compensation anymore. It would seem the developers have become greedy, by having to pay to play the game to a point. ### 4/5 — Difficult Progress *2026-08-05, version 8.50.0* This game I played a lot in my childhood but one of the things that made me quit was how hard you have to grind for simple upgrades Progress slows so hard that it takes days for 1 level up and becomes incredibly difficult and time consuming to upgrade terminals and runways. It’s like the game is just begging you to spend some real money. I love the game and it’s good but it’s just frustrating after you unlock the hawk aircraft. ### 3/5 — Airport city *2026-08-03, version 8.50.0* It is a very expensive game to play to when I first started. When life is expensive enough at the moment you can’t complete quests to receive extra fuel to fly your planes. ### 3/5 — Review *2026-07-31, version 8.50.0* Ad on’s are too expensive ### 2/5 — Pay to win *2026-07-25, version 8.50.0* I am a some one with child settings and it sad I can’t play this game even though I’ve had it for 5 years that makes no sense so that means this it pay to win because like I sad if played this game before and it is child friendly but now it’s more pay to win ### 2/5 — Bugs😵 *2026-07-21, version 8.50.0* Hello, can you please fix the bugs, when I go to visit someone, I have some pink squares instead of terminals, and some houses have some kind of shells ### 2/5 — End if an Era *2026-07-08, version 8.49.12* I played this game for 10+ years and it’s time to hang it up. What was once a fun game to play and build has turned into a game that lacks creativity and meaningful reward. The ads are one thing but the recent switch from 3 stars per destination to 5 stars removed the sense of accomplishing something. I wish there was an upgrade that honored overflying these cities back when 3 stars was the cap or there was a new element added to the game rather than exponentially increasing the flights required for each destination. Spending real money wouldn’t even satisfy the greed from this new update. ### 3/5 — Awesome game hooked for life… but the ads *2026-06-17, version 8.49.09* Playing this game is fun it brings back the joy of having a game that is really fun to play and this is definitely my number one favorite game to play and also make the ads for the free stuff at the end of the ad there is no x to get off the ad and get the reward and it probably is going to take me at least 100 try’s so please. Fix the glitch ### 4/5 — ? *2026-06-01, version 8.48.00* I cant play now because 12+ one time was 4+ but still good ### 4/5 — Fun and Time consumer *2026-05-23, version 8.48.00* You have to either pay right away to really advance or be okay waiting a few days before you really build up your wealth. I do like it though. ### 2/5 — Expa *2026-05-21, version 8.48.00* Why is buildings so EXPENSIVE ### 3/5 — Need more Cash *2026-05-21, version 8.48.00* It takes forever to get airport cash ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No reward given on links. *2026-08-01, version 8.50.0* I don’t get any rewards for watching all the ads that I press. It’s not worth pressing any of the required links to receive any items . ### 1/5 — Limited Gameplay if you Don’t Pay! *2026-07-16, version 8.49.12* Just like the title says… There is no true sense of improving or moving forward unless you pay to play and buy better buildings and airplanes. After 2 years, I feel like I just moved onto level 2. Time to shelf this game! ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-06-24, version 8.49.10* I am a some one with child settings and it sad I can’t play this game even though I’ve had it for 5 years that makes no sense so that means this it pay to win because like I sad if played this game before and it is child friendly but now it’s more pay to win ### 1/5 — Do not play *2026-06-12, version 8.49.09* The game is great until you’ve played it as year. Then all you get is repeat events. Absolutely nothing original has been offered for a few years. Support from them is poor ### 1/5 — Stressful. *2026-06-09, version 8.49.09* This latest update is the final nail for me. Over the many years playing I found myself feeling accomplished fully completing a destination and earning the stars/rewards. The developers have now added two extra sets of stars, some flights requiring over 1,000 completed flights. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Just when I thought I was progressing; I find myself having to return to small or sold off planes. The other thing that really pisses me off are the quests. I have been trying to complete a quest that requires you to get a random rattlesnake from a guest plane. I have had that quest for over 3 years. I am done with this nonsense. I can have a college degree before I complete a quest. The neighbors I have routinely post political or religious comments in their landscapes and I do not play this game to be lectured or told to live in fear of the rapture or second coming of Christ. If you are a masochist who enjoys being tormented with a carrot on a stick, this game is perfect for you. I will devote my energy into other games like Cooking Diary that actually reward players and make you feel like you are accomplishing something. ### 1/5 — Chopping trees *2026-05-22, version 8.48.00* There should be a bonus where you can chop every tree in your city, so you can get the collectibles to complete the collection where you get a Paul Bunyan statue, faster ### 1/5 — Ridiculously slow progress *2026-05-18, version 8.48.00* Been playing for about 2 weeks and it’s become clear to me this just another money grab game, the concept and mechanics are fun, but the waiting and waiting is not for me. ### 1/5 — Chopping trees *2026-05-13, version 8.48.00* There should be a bonus where you can chop every tree in your city, so you can get the collectibles to complete the collection where you get a Paul Bunyan statue, faster ### 1/5 — Unethical, poorly managed service, not up to standards *2026-03-29, version 8.47.03* It took me 10 days to get up to level 9, it’s so poorly scripted. If you want some peeps to play your game, I hope you have some time to read through reviews that are on edge towards your game. Listen to what the public says, not your dirty mind playing tricks to make this game a game that belongs in an incinerator. I hope you have a clear reply towards this review, not like the others. If you are wanting money, get a well paid job instead of creating a game which has no sense of belonging in any store for apps and games. ### 1/5 — Adverts have become too disruptive. *2026-03-03, version 8.46.01* Poor recent update with annoying ads all the time?! Just makes me need to restart the game all the time. ANNOYING! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What I think about it *2026-08-23, version 8.50.0* This game is very fun and addicting and you can play offline to but the catch is it takes a long time to grind in the game ### 5/5 — Fun game if you are into flying or a pilot *2026-08-19, version 8.50.0* I have been playing this game for Years and it still fun ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-01, version 8.50.0* I love playing this game! Very relaxing! ### 5/5 — Me gusta *2026-07-28, version 8.50.0* Me gusta este juego por su diseño Realizado con experiencia ### 5/5 — Game *2026-07-24, version 8.50.0* It is my favorite game on the planet people that don’t have the game should download this app now. 😍🥰😘 ### 5/5 — Ruined my life *2026-07-22, version 8.50.0* So I’m 27 living check to check and then I find this game on the App Store called Airport City and at first it seemed pretty bad but as I started playing it, I just got hooked and as time started passing, I realized that I stopped showing up to family events and work soon enough my friend stopped talking to me. My parents disowned me and my wife divorced me I couldn’t pay the bills and I became homeless but even on the streets I’m still playing this game writing this review and talking to everyone that I meet about this game to all the developers thank you very much to everyone else never play this game unless you want the best experience that you can ever have on a device thank you. ### 5/5 — Poor rewards *2026-07-08, version 8.49.12* 'After many years playing the game it is becoming very frustrating with not receiving airport cash as rewards. Unless you are prepared to spend actual cash it is very hard to expand the airport or move forward. I am prepared to watch the adverts for the rewards but I am now playing a lot of game time and don’t seem to be getting any further. Not sure how much longer I can continue to play ### 5/5 — Yall should get this game *2026-07-01, version 8.49.12* Im an avgeek, and it can be a bit triggering seeing 747 Concorde with Boom Overture engines, but this game is a vibe, five stars ### 5/5 — great *2026-06-16, version 8.49.09* Great for avgeeks, ads are optional! best. game. ever. ### 5/5 — Great game,But *2026-05-08, version 8.48.00* I like this game and it is pretty good I’m not gonna lie to you but sometime the things are pretty costly like repairing the planes,upgrading the runways etc, I would be really happy if you guys just kept the cost of stuff low --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
