## What is Airport Madness Mobile?

"You land a million planes safely. Then you have one little mid-air collision, and you never hear the end of it." - Air Traffic Controller, New York TRACON

Do you have what it takes to be an air traffic controller at a busy international airport?

As an air traffic controller it is your job to keep aircraft from colliding, while avoiding unnecessary delays. You are paid the big bucks for your visualization skills and guts. Just like the real job of an air traffic controller, you must pay attention and keep your eyes moving. There is always something that you could be doing! You must give takeoff clearances, landing clearances and taxi clearances in a strategic effort to maintain safety and efficiency where there would otherwise be total chaos. This is not a spectator's sport! After successful completion of all 14 levels of this simulation you will become an expert at visualization and managing priorities.

This simulation contains 7 different challenging airport layouts. You will be required to work at night, and occasionally in poor weather conditions. Knowledge of air traffic control is not required to be a top-notch air traffic controller in Airport Madness Mobile, but you do require nerves of steel.

Be sure to check out Airport Madness Challenge and Will It Fly!

### 4/5 — Amazing-but…

*2024-06-26, version 1.7.2*

1. The planes in the sky collide with the planes taxing I don’t know if that is intended.
2. You can fix this by making it check if the planes are on the same height, and adding a layer system. You can also fix it by adding an imitation on the taxi ways. You can also check if the plane is on a taxi way and if it is it won’t collide with planes in the air.

Besides that and the lack of maps, it is an amazing game 100% would recommend.

### 2/5 — Can’t believe I paid for this

*2020-07-01, version 1.7*

It has potential but not there. Can’t believe I paid $5 for this under-developed trash.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2020-02-21, version 1.7*

This game would be awesome if it weren’t the for the sound. Can’t mute it.

### 3/5 — Great game, but with flaws

*2019-09-25, version 1.7*

Great game to pass time, and it’s very fun. But just shortly after I bought this game the airplanes have disappeared and I can no longer play the game because I cannot see any airplanes at all. Please fix this issue!!

### 5/5 — Years of commuter fun

*2019-08-25, version 1.7*

Been playing this for years on my commute and it’s kept me occupied for many hours

### 2/5 — Good Fun but dismiss doesn’t work on X

*2018-09-01, version 1.7*

There’s no way to quit out of this game. You have to shut your iPhone down which is a pain because this game is a lot of fun. Just don’t play it if you need to flick between apps. You can’t!

### 4/5 — Mute doesn’t work

*2018-07-28, version 1.7*

So addicting this game is so much fun. Only problem is that the mute buttons don’t work. You can’t listen to music in the background without still hearing the game noises.

### 5/5 — Cool gameplay

*2018-07-24, version 1.7*

An awesome idea and fun. Combines many different game types. Strategy, timing, and just plain fun.

### 5/5 — Fun and stimulating game if you have time to fill!

*2018-03-22, version 1.7*

Based on aerodrome Air Traffic Control. Break all the normal rules and see how close you can get them! If they hit - it is only a game!

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2018-01-26, version 1.7*

This game is truly really quite fun
