Hope future games will have bigger planes. ### 3/5 — More *2015-02-14* Add more levels and private planes. ### 3/5 — Flugzeuge kollidieren manchmal *2015-01-24* am Rande des Sichtfeldes, ohne daß man etwas dagegen tun könnte, das ist unfair ! Die meisten Crashs gibt es durch den fasst unsichtbaren Helicopter. Expedite off Runway funktioniert oft nicht. Landebahn System ist unrealistisch. Grafik ist sehr gut. ### 3/5 — Fun, but has problems *2014-08-14* I really like the game, but there are two major annoyances you should be aware of: (1) you cannot pause the game. The button is there, though it does not work (other buttons next to it work fine!?) (2) I cannot use the ‘Weather’ option or the game becomes very sluggish. That even happens after I restart my iPad 3, which has lot’s of open memory. Also, the weather graphics look really bad, despite retina display! ### 3/5 — Not enough levels! *2014-06-07* Needs an update w more levels and a more zoomed in view. When weather hits it seems to cause tremendous lag. Mostly just MORE LEVELS please. 6 levels isn't worth the price ### 3/5 — Agreed with others about updates *2014-05-23* I loved this game when I first got it; worked fine, easy to learn but always challenging. I appreciate the update unlocking other levels, since playing some airport configs gets boring and I found some not very fun (#2 is my favorite), so even more airport patterns would be good. But the biggest reason you get 3 stars now instead of 4 or 5 is that since the last update, there are annoying new bugs that are downright frustrating. The biggest two: 1. Planes in the lower right corner of the screen can't be controlled there because the game thinks I want to change settings or quit. Greer. 2. Planes in the lower left of hygiene scree now seem to spontaneously combust; they'll "crash" offscreen, when nothing else is around, etc. I've had some crash when I've simply ordered a plane all the way across the screen to another runway, and I've had them crash mysteriously whenive done NOTHiNG. You need another update, and it needs to improve the game this time around instead of make it buggier. Can't recommend until this happens. ### 3/5 — Good but with flaws *2014-03-12, version 1.0* I enjoy this game however the touch responsiveness needs improved. More importantly the developer needs to fix the bug causing the app to reset and all progress being lost which has happened to me 3 times now. ### 4/5 — Great game! *2014-03-07* Tho it feels a little unfinished. The game play is great, but something about the tittle screen feels like it was a bit rushed(?). Maybe it's the obvious 5 second music loop, or something about the font... Or how "Play" doesn't stand out much. Or how the app icon is just a screenshot of the tittle screen...... But other than that, the gameplay is great! It feels finished and I love it! ### 4/5 — What Airport Challenge Should Have Been! *2014-03-07* I really like the addition of emergencies, weather, and air controller profiles that give you unique perks to suit your playing style. All this without any IAPs for energy or other freemium nonsense, as iOS games used to be. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not as sharp as Mobile Airport Madness *2023-05-23* $8 for a game that is not customise able the resolution is too high and the game does not use the full width of the screen this means the planes are tiny. What made Mobile Airport Madness the original game at least the planes were defined and easy to spot the problem with this Airport madness 4 the planes are so small my fat fingers struggle to select planes at the terminal. And for that i would like to request a refund its not fun like the original airport masness. ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied *2023-03-02* Bought because I played #1 & #2 but I really didn’t liked it at all, was expecting something better and it was worst ### 1/5 — I need a magnifying glass *2015-04-25, version 1.1* Dayum the airport is so small AND THEN THE PLANES OMFG they like little tik taks i need to hold my phone up to my face to see it and i cant hold my phone a different side or rotate it ### 1/5 — Can't get planes to land when in holding *2014-04-07, version 1.1* Everything about this game looks great, but for some reason I can't get a plane to land once in a holding pattern. I drag the plane to the runway and nothing. It's infuriating and ruins what should be an improvement on past models of this game. If this was fixed it would be top stars but in i just can't play it in it's current form. ### 1/5 — AM4 stopped working when I dwnld new AM Time game *2014-04-05* I bought & downloaded your new A.M. Time Game, which not only deleted all my profile and progress in the game the AM4 game, but now I cannot even play AM4 anymore.. I had just opened up field #6, but now I get the MORE tab on the bottom left of the screen, cannot start a new game and all fields are opened. I deleted both games, powered down IPAD for a minute, then downloaded only AM4 same... Please fix... this.... ### 1/5 — New Version Just Wiped Out My Stats... *2014-04-05* Beware of updating.... ### 2/5 — Rip-Off *2017-06-22* I bought this game but for 5 bucks and now it won't download, and they won't give me a refund. Apple you are STUPID ### 2/5 — Unstable on the iPad *2014-08-07, version 1.1* i love the game I have it on my iPhone and it works perfectly, but when I play it on my iPad Air it doesn't work. I cannot drag planes to runways or put them in a holding pattern and when they land they drive off the runway so please fix these issues. ### 3/5 — Needs iPad Pro Update *2020-05-10* Game is good but needs update for iPad Pro resolutions. ### 3/5 — Lag *2020-03-24* There is a tremendous lag when weather arrives!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love dis game !! *2014-07-28* Very well made by the developers. Good job !!! ### 5/5 — Awesome game- easy to use *2014-05-24, version 1.1* Been a fan if the series for a long time and so happy came to iOS! Works great! Controls get abit of getting used to and dragging just to the tip of the run way can get abit annoying but a update should hopefully patch that! ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2014-03-12, version 1.0* I love this game. It's well designed works beautifully. Can't wait for the next version to come out...hopefully with real airports, and the option to choose the take off runway. ### 5/5 — Airport Maddess *2014-03-06* This is a great games. You have to be skillfully using eye and hand on it as multitask variety of aircraft. Good job. ### 5/5 — Madflight *2014-03-06* Awesome game finally on the ipad!!!!! ### 4/5 — Brilliant time passer! *2014-10-21, version 1.1* This game is really good, has kept me entertained, from 5mins to an hour! You don't realise how long you spend playing. Graphics are good and the sound effects are a nice touch. Just a few things that could be improved; - could do with a few more levels. - the buttons on bottom of the screen when in gameplay, you have to touch about an inch above them to actually select 'pause' or 'home screen' which is weird!? - sometimes when a plane is on the edge of your screen it is un-selectable? Doesn't matter how many times you try and tap on it. - when selecting a plane to give it commands, the interface box that pops up could do with being a little smaller. - when selecting a "go-around" it'd be good if planes rejoined arrival flight path on there own. Other than that all good. I still 100% recommend this game, really good fun. ### 4/5 — So gut wie Vorgänger, mit einigen Bugs und Logikfehlern *2014-05-05* Air Madness 4 ist genauso gut wie die Vorgänger. Was die Bedienung angeht ist es etwas besser, da nun keine Symbole mehr existieren, sondern Text in der Schaltfläche steht ,z.B."Line Up". Leider hat das Spiel noch immer die gleichen Bugs, dazu gehört u.a., dass Flugzeuge die über stehende "drüberfliegen" mit diesen Kollidieren, was völlig unmöglich ist! Die Schaltflächen für "Pause" , "Lautlos", etc. werden auch betätigt wenn man leicht darüber tippt, so ist das Auswählen von Flugzeugen in der Nähe dieser Schaltflächen unmöglich! Das neue Radar jedoch gefällt mir sehr gut, vor allem, dass man es vergrößern kann und dann sogar die Flughöhe sieht. Die Helikopter sollte man auch anpassen, denn sie kollidieren auch mit Flugzeugen die 100m höher fliegen, sehr unlogisch! Die vielen Levels finde ich sehr gut, auch wenn die Radaranzeige der Landebahn nicht immer korrekt ist, so gibt es in einigen Levels laut Radar noch eine Landebahn die nicht existiert. Es wäre schön, wenn es auch realistischere Flughäfen gäbe, bisher habe ich keinen Flughafen in der Realität gesehen, bei dem sich alle Start- und Landebahnen überkreuzen!? Die Flugzeugträger sind dabei eine tolle Alternative zu den Gekreuzten Flughafen. Alles in allem Lohnt sich der Kauf und der Spielspaß ist besser als bei den Vorgängern! ### 4/5 — Very good, just please change the size of the control panel back! *2014-04-07, version 1.1* A very good game; I'm especially enjoying the revised graphics in the update and the responsiveness is a lot better too, thanks for your hard work! On the other hand, I don't like the new, larger size of the control panel interface that appears when you tap on an aircraft to control it's speed and give it commands, ect. ; I was wondering if you could give the user the option to, or just return the control panel's size back to that before the recent update (I.e. Considerably smaller!); it is a real pain on the iPad when you tap on an aircraft and an over size control panel 1/3 the size of the screen appears, making it very difficult to see other traffic and causing unneseccary crashes! What was wrong with the old size, anyway?! Returning this panel back to its original smaller size would definitely receive the extra star; it's such a shame, otherwise this game would be pretty much perfect! I would still recommend it though, just please fix this!! ### 4/5 — Game messed up *2014-04-04* You guys successfully messed up both your games with your updates. First of all, with both games my saved game was deleted so now I have to start over. Second with this game, when I tap the box to enter my name....nothing happens. The game won't let me enter my name. Your update messed up the graphics of the other game and probably this one too. There is no way you guys tested your update before releasing these updates or you would have EASILY seen these problems. Please fix ! The games were perfect before, I don't know why you felt the need to mess with it. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Lots of new additions *2014-03-11* If you are a fan of this game series, then this game will be eye candy. There has been a significant improvement on graphics, voice & sound effects are good and the achievements or trophy page is a good addition. Enjoyed playing this and definitely recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
