### 5/5 — Awesome offline game

*2026-06-03*

Great simulation with great UI. Devs, please keep this game up in iOS App Store

### 5/5 — 게임 내 마지막 연도를 30년에서 좀 더 늘려주세요

*2025-05-11*

2030년이 마지막인데 2050년도로 늘려주세요~~~

### 3/5 — Don’t pay for any of their titles.

*2024-05-25*

This game was… ok. But 2 was much better, i paid for 2 HD and loved it immensely. But now it’s removed from the store. I paid for it and can never play it again. The newer games have too many constraints and forced game mechanics that make the game unfun. Not the least of which is an end game year.
Eventually any of their titles you have paid for, will disappear from the store, and your money is gone.

### 1/5 — So I love this game but…

*2022-07-04*

You can’t purchase competitors and it drives me crazy. I know you could in one of these games and I finally saved up enough cash to start buying people out and there is no option 😔 this one feature would make this game nearly perfect as an airline simulator.

### 3/5 — It’s a good game but

*2020-09-28*

It’s a good game the thing is when I buy and 747 or and a380 there’s no second floor plan it’s just one so if you want really high quality I do not suggest

### 2/5 — Don’t buy, Air Tycoon 2 was much better but they removed it.

*2020-08-12*

You could play longer games on Air Tycoon 2 and be able to relax and go past year 2030. This game isn’t all bad but it doesn’t pat up to #2

### 1/5 — Nicht gewinnbar :-(

*2019-11-10*

Nach ein paar Runden haben die Mitspieler einen unrealistisch großen Vorsprung, man selbst hat aber kaum Gewinne zum Investieren.

Über 800 Routen und Flugzeuge nach kurzer Zeit, wo ich mir noch nichtmal 50 leisten kann???

Daher nicht spiel- und schon gar nicht gewinnbar.

Habe damals AirTycoon gespielt, das machte echt Laune und ich wollte nach Jahren mal wieder etwas Ähnliches spielen, Pustekuchen.

### 4/5 — I can’t save my game.....

*2019-07-27*

Whenever I press load game or the save button, I get kicked out of the game

### 1/5 — IOS Update

*2019-02-03*

After the last update the game will not load. ☹️

### 5/5 — Good

*2018-08-03*

Perfect game for the people like plane like me
