### 4/5 — Hmmm

*2019-11-02, version 1.5*

Very amazing game overall but is comes to an extremely abrupt ending in 1970 claiming to add more levels, three years still waiting.

### 4/5 — Addictive

*2014-07-13, version 1.4*

Small things that could be improved. 
But good otherwise.

### 4/5 — Please fix!!!

*2014-06-28, version 1.4*

Great game but could you please fix the bug when you get to 1939. It keeps crashing.

### 3/5 — Ok. Needs polished to be good...

*2014-05-18, version 1.4*

The 'lite' versions controls need swapped over to this version. They are better in 2 ways:
1. The controls work and the plane responds to your decision.
2. The controls box is small, not massive and blocking the screen.

They get this fixed and it's a pretty good game.

### 4/5 — Needs some fixes

*2014-04-07, version 1.4*

The command popup could use some resizing, and planes could have an outline or some other way of being able to be seen better on a smaller screen, also just the ability to pinch zoom slightly would be a great addition. Other than that, this is an amazing game, it is just like the computer version but cheaper and portable. Please fix these and then it will be five stars c:

### 3/5 — Ok for a bit

*2014-04-07, version 1.4*

I actually had fun playing this for a few days and I got to the last level. I stopped playing for 2 weeks and came back and it wants me to start from the very beginning. Screw that! I do not feel like starting over.

### 3/5 — LOSE HISTORY DURING UPDATE

*2014-04-05, version 1.4*

This is a really good game but BEWARE - you will lose all your history when updating!!! 30 "years" of time reset to ZERO

### 4/5 — Graphics messed

*2014-04-04, version 1.4*

You guys updated both your games and screwed up the graphics.  The game map itself still looks good, but when you tap on a plane the popup box to give it commands is HUGE on the screen. Also the status/menu bar at the bottom of the screen is not proportioned correctly.  The icons are stretched and the 'gear' icon no longer shows on the screen.

I'm playing this game on the iPad.  I have your other Airport 4 game also. Haven't checked that game yet.

Did you guys bother to test your update before releasing it?  

Thanks

### 4/5 — Great game but 4th April update appears to wipe progress

*2014-04-04, version 1.4*

I got all the way to 1968 and then the game reset itself unexpectedly and now I have to start again from level 1! Is it a coincidence that this happened immediately after the app update on 4th April 2014? It's a good thing it is a pleasure to play!

### 4/5 — Excellent but flawed

*2014-04-04, version 1.4*

Great game, very addictive. But, I spent hours moving up levels through the years from the 1940s-1960s, and when I paused the game for 5 mins, I returned with the game completely wiped & wanting me to start over again!
Is there any way this can be changed? Excellent game but now I'm very annoyed!

### 3/5 — New levels pls

*2014-03-26, version 1.03*

New levels pls

### 3/5 — Fix bugs for iPad please!!!!

*2014-03-20, version 1.03*

Great game would give it 5 stars but game constantly crashes between levels. Then when trying to restart it will constantly crash when trying to continue form the same level which forces me to go back 3 or 4 levels to and start over.

### 5/5 — Very nice game!

*2013-12-13, version 1.03*

This is totally a must have game if you like planes, airport and time management games!

See how the airport develops over the years and new planes arrive!

### 1/5 — Fehlerhaft !

*2016-01-06*

Gute Grafik, aber viele bekannte Flugzeugtypen der 60er und 70er Jahre fehlen, wie die DC 7, Caravelle, V. Viscount, VC 10, Trident, BAC 111, DC 10, L. Tristar, Boeing Stratocruiser, B - 727 und andere. .  Warum so viele Mustang Jagdflugzeuge aus dem zweiten Weltkrieg auf einen Civil Flughafen der 60er Jahre ??
,,Expedite off Runway " funktioniert oft nicht !
Warum kommt eine Comet auf dem Runway faßt  zum stehen, trotz Expedite off ?
Große Neuigkeit ! Im Jahre 1802 gab es schon Flugzeuge. Wer hätte das geahnt.

### 1/5 — Keep losing my progress

*2015-08-20, version 1.4*

Excellent game but it keeps losing my progress so always starting from 1925, been over a year now and no fix hence 1 star

### 1/5 — Time machine game

*2014-08-24, version 1.4*

I love this game, however it keeps crashing. I go to load it and it boots me. Ive tried to reboot my ipad, no help. Once in a while it will let me play. Sometimes it will boot me right in the middle of a game. It stinks. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Stürzt 1955 ab

*2013-11-28*

Total nervig, kanns nicht mehr spielen, weil es abstürzt... Total sch...e! Einfach nervig wenn ich mich immer wieder mal mit so was rumärgern muss

### 1/5 — Leider nicht weiterspielbar ab 1941

*2013-09-03*

Leider nicht weiterspielbar ab 1941

### 2/5 — Knackered by latest update

*2014-04-09, version 1.4*

Latest update has reset all my data, I have lost all my progress which is somewhat annoying as I'd completed the main story and was half way through the 1800s scenario

### 2/5 — Too small for iPhone

*2014-04-04, version 1.4*

I like the previous airport madness apps but the planes are so small on my iPhone I can barely see them.  I don't even wear glasses but if I try to play this I will soon need them.

### 2/5 — Schönes Spiel aber häufige Abstürze

*2013-08-14*

Als ich die Lite Version probiert habe, hat das Spiel mir sofort gut gefallen. Daraufhin kaufte ich die Vollversion und mußte feststellen das ab dem Jahr 1940 das Spiel regelmäßig abstürzt. Manchmal hilft ein Neustart des Ipad. Leider ist es mir nicht mehr möglich ab dem Jahr 1947, das Spiel fortzusetzen. Ansonsten bin ich vom Spiel sehr angetan. Liebe Entwickler, bitte behebt diesen BUG. Denn ich würde gern das Spiel fortsetzen.

Ipad 1, 64GB, UMTS

MFG, Illiman

### 3/5 — Good but.

*2017-04-13, version 1.4*

I have played this as a free version for some time and really liked it, eventually paid for it for the iPad. 
Still love the game but their are no upgrades or follow ons to the basic game and the company is not going to release any updates.
Don't pay for it use the free version.

### 3/5 — Does it have helicopters

*2015-12-08, version 1.4*

I know it's fun but is there helicopters at any point

Pls

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2022-02-09, version 1.5*

I been play this game since 2013. When I found this game back in 2013, I like it so much I could not STOP play it and I still can’t STOP, well not as much back then. I always wanted to go back in time, as I new the world was changing. I wish they would make more games like this one.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2019-02-19, version 1.5*

AMZING is a blast this never seen inything like it

### 5/5 — Whoa

### 5/5 — I love this game!!!

*2016-11-15, version 1.4*

Please update app with more levels! 😍

### 5/5 — Loved it....

*2014-06-15, version 1.4*

Kept me entertained for hours. Loved the way the game progressed through the years and I went on to actually buy the advanced version.
Try it.....

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-04-04, version 1.4*

Have on my computer and now I can play anywhere I go. Thanks for finally porting to the iPhone. Only think that stinks is sometimes the arrival planes are hard to see against the background.

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2014-03-03, version 1.03*

Strangely addictive. Lots of good clean fun

### 5/5 — Superb

*2014-02-01, version 1.03*

A fantastic, well thought game. This is by far the best version of this type of game. Great graphics, clever storyline and realistic airplanes. I hope there is an update with more levels soon.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2013-12-20, version 1.03*

As an airplane lover this game is the perfect mix of important markers of aviation history and the strategy that comes with it. This PC trilogy has finally come to the iOS. Great!
