That would make the game a lot better. You did great for this game I support you though this and hope you make some updates to make it even better. ### 4/5 — A little bad *2020-06-07* It’s a great game trust me guys😁 but there’s some bad things first you can fly through things second wherever you go the airplanes follow you and last you need to see where the airplane goes so you can see the world 🌍 ok I wish you can fix those things🤔 I’d love it 😍 and finally I want you to see this is how much I like the game so🤩😚🥰🤣😂😅😀😃😄😁😆😃😆😄😅😀😍😁😝😀🤣🤯 and you will like it to I’d like that and you need to add more airplanes ### 4/5 — Works amazing but... *2020-05-09* When I first loaded up this game, I was astonished by how well the airplanes were designed and I love flying them around everywhere I go. But there is one problem, for me personally I think that the controls need to be a bit more simple. It’s not a big thing so if it doesn’t get changed I won’t care that much I’ll still play! ### 3/5 — Needs a bit more work *2020-05-02* I like the game don’t get me wrong it is gust the controls are glitchy sometimes and the planes don’t respond on time. Game developers please do something about this ### 2/5 — just...why? *2019-12-29* the faster planes are okaaaay...ish. but the first plane is unacceptable. and the physics are BS. you cut the engine the plane just hovers in the air, while falling about 1 inch per decade. not a good AR app, but not completly terrible ### 3/5 — Boring and unrealistic without obstacles *2019-11-19, version 1.3.2* Boring and unrealistic without obstacles ### 3/5 — Problems *2019-07-18* iPhone 7 **Developer response:** Hi I’m not aware of crashes, under what circumstances and what phone do you use? ### 4/5 — Добавьте мёртвую петлю!!!!!!!!!! *2019-05-01, version 1.3.2* Сделайте, пожалуйста, трюки!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Need Improvements *2018-11-04* This game needs improvement because sometimes the plane just get stuck on some objects. ### 3/5 — Crashes *2018-11-03* App worked only once on my iPhone X. Bought the in app purchase for the second aircraft... and the app never stopped crashing after that! I should get a refund as I can’t use it at all!! Bigger would be better **Developer response:** Hi I’m sorry to hear that and we’ll look into the bug. In the meantime please get your refund here http://reportaproblem.apple.com/ ### 5/5 — 😯 should you get10 star........ *2018-09-29, version 1.3.2* Best game ever keep it up best developers love you ### 4/5 — Love it *2018-05-15* If this is just the beginning I can’t wait for helicopters , jets etc. Keep moving forward tech nerds ### 5/5 — Вылетает *2018-04-13, version 1.2.1* Когда я хочу выбрать платный самолёт нажимаю на него и вылетает исправьте пж ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hi *2020-06-05* No matter where I go the app will not let me se the plain and won’t let me see the yellow dots what should I do ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-01-29* What a horrible offer. I don’t know where your photos or videos came from but not from this so called game. After downloading, I was asked to allow access to my camera but when tapping to “place a plane”, it just reset again and again. Not worth a bit of my time ### 1/5 — Trash *2019-11-24* This game is trash it's basically just open the camera and do nothing after that ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-09-12* When it says to place planes as soon as touch the screen nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-09-02* The opening screen says to point at the ground until you see yellow dots. No amount of moving gets any yellow dots to appear. In fact nothing happens it appears the game always locks up at that point. There is a record button on that screen but there is no instructions indicating if that record button has anything to do with getting yellow dots to appear. The game is either totally broken from the get go, or it’s on boarding instructions need to be better. Don’t waste your time downloading this app. ### 1/5 — Burn *2019-08-04* It didn’t work and so give it a 1 star ### 1/5 — Doesn’t support iPad Air 2 *2019-08-01* I really want to play this game but it doesn’t support my iPad Air 2, I know this is Apple’s fault making you buy iPad Pro (The A8X processor is just as powerful as A9) but the developer could at least make it support a non AR kit platform as well, especially since this is the only AR plane app on the App Store and there is no AR plane app on the google play store either. ### 1/5 — Слишком не доработанная. *2018-03-25, version 1.2.1* Самолёт летает не реалистично. Если убрать тягу, самолёт останавливается в воздухе как машина. Сажать не надо. Петлю сделать нет возможности также как и бочку. ### 1/5 — Worst experience *2018-02-09, version 1.2* It was showing less than 100 rupees when I purchased but I have been billed 1700 plus rupees after purchase. This is completely wrong.. Apple should not cheat their customers like this also the application is not fully supporting iPhone X screen size. A total disappointment, pls give my money back. ### 1/5 — Nicht toll *2018-01-28, version 1.2* Weiß nicht komm nicht weiter als zünden blieb Punkten ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — OMG SOOOII GOID BUT.... *2020-07-06* I love this game I played all the time but the problem is you can’t see inside the airplanes which should you should be able to do also it looks very odd because even if you turn up the engine just a little bit it flies away instantly and you can’t see it which is a problem that I think you should fix please resolve this problem and think about fixing it but besides that this game is amazing and I like it just make it so that you can look inside the plane so you can explore than tire World because that would be really fun and I would really appreciate that you’re Apple probably get a lot of attention and you’d probably make a lot of money off it think about that ### 5/5 — What plane i want you to add *2020-07-05* Add a Boeing 737 Airline Emirates ### 5/5 — Mr *2019-11-21, version 1.3.2* Increíble efecto ### 5/5 — Why it’s a cool game *2019-07-11* This game is cool that’s why you should get it ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-06-12* Needs more airplanes, P 38, F 104, Fokker triplane, flying saucer? ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2019-05-30* The game is great but better outside. Great concept. ### 5/5 — A really, really cool idea. *2019-02-06* I was looking for some new games to play on my device and this popped up after my friend told me about Stack AR. I had a little bit of trouble figuring out that you are supposed to tap on the plane that you want to fly. Really fun game. Really interesting idea. I wish they had a bigger selection of planes, a small airline cruiser might be nice, more missions would also be fun. Perhaps have a bunch of hoops to go through in one. **Developer response:** Thanks! I have been thinking of the idea of hoops as well, when I find the time I’ll implement it! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2018-12-30, version 1.3.2* Muy bueno ### 5/5 — THE BEST AR Game! *2018-12-15* In this game you can do what you can not in reality. You can fly a plane with options from bi-planes, to stunt planes, to fighter jets! I personally wanted to get an AR Game, because I wanted to get a new game. That was different from the ones I already had. Defy Reality in the game AR Airplanes ### 5/5 — Ar airplanes *2018-10-28* Love ar airplanes really fun to fly great way to learn rc flying I use my street as my runway and can land them right at my feet.fun fun be nice to have snowbird jet and spitfire two of my favourite aircraft 5 star rating great job Apple your friend richard the dragon creighton --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
