### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-28*

Been playing this for years, one suggestion would be when airlines become available on the M&A list they eventually drop off despite being on it as new ones are added thus you lose the ability to buy them as they fall in value so instead of being able to buy one at a few hundred million you can only buy those in worth billions. I would also like the ability to buy used and increase availability on the lease market.

### 4/5 — Not perfect, but

*2025-02-10, version 1.4.9*

I’ve played this when it first came out. Can’t remember how many times I’ve played it, but i still do, although less often. What would i change? Not very much. More plane options, particularly cargo planes in the early decades, possibly now updating current plane options. But it won’t be going off my phone until the OS changes enough to make it unplayable.

### 5/5 — Need Update

*2024-01-25*

Compare with the original version, this version's last update was 4 years before. So plz update the game

### 2/5 — Steals Money

*2022-11-11, version 1.4.9*

When I first got the game, I found it to be better than the other Air tycoons but unfortunately when you first start of you get less money than in the other Air tycoon games, so I clicked the shop button and there was an option for 800,000 for 0.89 and 200,000 for 2.49 so I clicked on the 800,000 one and the payment says this only gives me 200,000 so I clicked on the 200,000 one and it says this one gives me 800,000 so I bought that one and It gives me 200,000 instead of 800,000 I don’t no if this is a bug but if it is then please fix It

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра

*2021-08-24, version 1.4.9*

Отличная игра для любителей авиационной тематики 😍 и выиграть можно без Доната, что немаловажно

### 1/5 — Update?

*2021-07-20*

Is there going to be an update focused on the review advise? Any update at all or did the developers kill the game? It would be such a shame to see it go. Such a good game :/

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-01-25, version 1.4.9*

This game is good and understandable but I Would like Sandbox mode and make it where planes don’t just go back and forth between 2 airports. Planes go to a bunch of airports every week, like 1 flight to an airport where every weak and 2 flights to another. Planes in reality go on multiple routes and would like it if you added that.

### 1/5 — 환불요청드릴게요

*2021-01-24*

너무 어려워서 게임할수가없어요ㅠㅠ

### 1/5 — IT IS NOT ONLINE

*2021-01-18, version 1.4.9*

The comments about sandbox mode are a clever 3.99 scam. Go back to 3. Bravo bravo

### 4/5 — 惜しい

*2020-09-24*

非常に面白いです。
機体もメジャーな物をメインに登場させていますし、全然知識が無い人も楽しめる物じゃ無いかと思います。
ただし、気になる部分が少々あり、飛行機を経由させる際の基準が不自然に高い事。
何故か貨物と旅客の航続距離が異なる事(現実でも同じでしたら失礼しました。)
そして、何故か勝手に路線の機体が消える事・・・・ですね。

自分の場合は、2020年に差し掛かった頃に気付いたのですが、
不自然に収支が不安定に感じた事、そして余りが無いよう設定したはずの路線のスロットが余っている事に気づき、違和感を感じたので”路線”情報を確認した所、何故か複数の路線の機体名の所に ”No plane “の表記になっていて、売ってもないのに飛行機が勝手に消えていました。
仕方ないので無くなった全ての機体を購入し直しましたが、今度はまた別の路線の機体が消えてしまっており、結果として、路線だけあって飛行機が消えて行っては買い直すと言う事で最終的に金欠となり、Game Overでした・・・

ここら辺は仕様なのでしょうか・・・？
よく分かりませんが、もしまだ開発を続けていらっしゃいましたら修正をお願いしたいです。

という惜しい部分があったので星は4つにさせて頂きます。
これがなければ5でした。
