### 3/5 — あまりにもAIが酷い

*2026-07-25*

競売にかけられている企業でも路線展開をしている。買える時にすぐ買わないと後々脅威になる、少ししょうもないかもしれないがのんびり自分の目標の会社を作るには自分の会社だけでプレイするのがおすすめだと思う

### 1/5 — 面白いけど金の亡者すぎる

*2026-07-19*

最初簡単でも赤字になりやすいのに金を仕入れるには課金するしかないのがやばい画質も荒いし今このゲームを買う意味はない

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS 26

*2026-04-02*

Only loads to a black screen and is now unusable

### 3/5 — money

*2025-12-08, version 1.0.5*

is nobody gonna talk about how you need 1000 planes to gain 1 dollar a turn





why

### 4/5 — 不更新

*2025-12-04, version 1.0.5*

這麼好的遊戲怎麼就不更新了…

### 3/5 — Fuel tanks problem

*2025-09-27*

I bought some fuel tanks and much more than enough fuel for my planes, but my planes using fuel from my fuel tanks and from market at the same time. How did I get it? Because amount of fuel in my fuel tanks decreases every turn and profit of my routes decreases if fuel price on market grows up and grows up if market fuel price decreases exactly on the amount like grows up/decreases fuel costs in "route profit details".
FIX this problem, please!!

### 1/5 — I want a refund

*2025-06-09, version 1.0.5*

TLDR: I’m a long time player of AT4, probably hundreds of hours. 
After playing AT5 for a bit, I wish I never bought it and I’m trying to request a refund.

### 1/5 — Not optimized for Mac

*2025-04-20*

Please make an update where I can zoom with gestures in the world map and can use the gestures vor up and down in lists.

### 1/5 — 簡単モード？

*2025-04-09*

コンピュータが初手で強すぎて、初期段階で参入できない路線に参入されてたり、コンピュータ優遇がムカつきます。

### 4/5 — Super Spiel, aber Luft nach oben

*2025-02-28*

Das Spiel ist an und für sich relativ gut. Wer nicht weiterkommt, kann die Schwierigkeitseinstellung auf einfach stellen. (Bedenkt, man kann am Anfang mit bis zu doppelt so viel Geld wie die KI starten). Außerdem gibt es auf YouTube einige Tutorials. Was mich etwas nervt, ist dass nach 20 oder 30 Jahren in Game das Spiel relativ unübersichtlich wird, da man etwa 200 oder mehr Routen hat, um überhaupt mit der KI mithalten zu können (da flippt man als Spieler schon aus, wenn man überall die Preise neu anpassen muss). Hier kann es eine Lösung sein, dass nicht jede KI direkt im Spielstart ihre Airline gründet, sondern es nach und nach immer mehr Airlines gibt, ein bisschen wie bei der Online Version. Außerdem wäre noch cool, wenn man man mehrere Airlines im selben Spiel haben kann, so dass man auch mit Freunden, oder anderen Personen spielen kann, aber auf dem selben Gerät. Also der eine Spielt eine Runde (einen Monat im Spiel), dann der Andere und so weiter. 
Was ich sehr gut finde, ist dass das Spiel so ähnlich aufgebaut ist wie Air Tycoon 3 Online, der einzige Unterschied ist, dass man nicht mit Anderen Menschen spielt, sondern dem Computer. 
Man kann bei der Airline vieles einstellen (Sitze, Essen, Bordservices und Unterhaltung), jedoch alles in dem Rahmen, dass es nicht zu komplex wird. 
Alles in allem ein sehr gelungenes Spiel, mit sehr schöner Graphik.
