Greedy developers and another pay to play game. ### 1/5 — They added ADs and removed levels *2016-08-18, version 2.5* Didn't used to have advertisements and had many, many levels. They've neutered it in an attempt to make money. Not paying for this sub-par game. ### 4/5 — Good *2016-04-18, version 2.5* Buena apliacion deverian de hacer una version lite de la aplicacion guitar machine porfavor, o de vez en cuando dejarla gratis para que llegue al top de las mejores aplicaciones Muchas gracias por sus aplicaciones ### 1/5 — Nul *2015-09-06* Jeux pas du tout réaliste ### 5/5 — Easy game *2015-07-08* Pretty easy to play, guide the planes to the letters on edge of screen similar to other atc games except no airport. They must have fixed everyone else's issues. ### 4/5 — Great games *2015-02-21, version 2.5* Some levels are hard but some are easy but great game ### 5/5 — Once you get the hang of it *2015-01-19* Fun once you get the hang of it. For a free app I think it's great. Takes a bit of time to get used to using. ### 2/5 — Pas tres bon *2014-08-23* Le jeu a l'air très bien mais au niveau du gameplay gratuit on a rien.. ### 2/5 — Could be a good game.. *2014-05-19, version 2.5* But short, too easy, no challenge and boring ## Frequently asked questions about ATC 4.0 Lite ### What is ATC 4.0 Lite?
