### 5/5 — Fun!

*2023-06-05*

Excellent, challenging game. Plus, they don’t beat you to death with advertising. One commercial, then you can go back to the game. And it is a fun little game too. Good reflex training! Two thumbs up for sure.

### 5/5 — Use iPad

*2022-10-14*

No problem with this game just my phone is too small to see it

### 3/5 — Not good but somehow addictive

*2021-03-02*

Easy to play and forces your mind to think through moves snd the impact they have as they progress. Application has ads that block necessary parts of the screen to prevent crashes snd also does not allow you to pause. If you do, the game has continued without you and crashed causing all past success to result in game over.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2021-02-14*

If you want to waste time, this is the best way to do it. It does give you some impossible situations. But that’s half the fun

### 1/5 — Speeds up too quickly - no fun

*2021-01-09, version 2.0.1*

Gets too hard too quickly. No fun, just annoying. Deleted.

### 5/5 — ATC

*2020-12-04*

Good

### 5/5 — Great teaser keeps you busy for ages...

*2019-04-17, version 2.0.1*

Great game, I love strategy and as annoying as it is to keep up, I always return to this game time and time again to try and crack it.. I never do though !

### 5/5 — Great old fashioned game

*2019-03-21, version 2.0.1*

I’ve been playing this game since I had my IPod Touch 1st generation back in 2010 or so. It’s been my families favourite game the whole time. Simple, yet waay better than most of the complex games out there.

### 2/5 — Frustrating advert positioning.

*2018-08-18, version 2.0.1*

Adverts on the bottom of the screen repeatedly obstruct the player’s vision of the gameplay and repeatedly cause me to crash as it covers up any aircraft in that area and ability to control those aircraft. This needs to be fixed as it breaks the game. Uninstalled.

### 5/5 — Sky Highways

*2018-07-17*

In order to do well at this game you have to adopt the practice that controllers use in real life. They put the aircraft on the same road in the sky to avoid conflict.
