I love this! But definitely can take improvements.

I love how there’s winds and loads of planes and an open map with multiple airports! But there are improvements to make. I’d like it if the wind didn’t count as a fail, I mean if the wind was just seen as crosswind. open the map more, I’m an avgeek so I love it when things are perfect with aviation. I’d love if you can make it so multiple planes can line up in the sky to land. If the airports could be as busy as they are in real life. To See wind direction in case of runway changes would be BRILLIANT! I hope you can do these requests. Thanks!

Button Placement Makes Game Unplayable

Planes pass beneath the control buttons, making you unable to click them until the plane has passed. Makes the game extremely frustrating and basically unplayable. Not worth downloading on iPad. Phone version is better on this issue, but very small even on plus.

Aside from this fundamental design flaw, the game is great. I really enjoy it… until I lose the level repeatedly because I can’t give the planes instructions. Also would be nice to have a tutorial, but if you enjoy a challenge and can figure out the rules, you might enjoy it.

3/10, wouldn’t suggest.

Ok

It’s great, but please can you make it so you can click on the screen to get rid of the pop up panel. I have lost a lot of runs due to this as I can’t slow it down again

Great game with huge potential

Addictive and very fast paced! The option to perhaps have a holding button would be good to keep aircraft circling at a point would be good! Or to be able pick an approach and highlight routes which planes can take instead of the game creating routes which over lap and make it hard to direct multiple aircraft into the same or parallel runways

Needs more control.

You only have 2 altitudes, start & finish. It makes deconflicting harder

Bad UI

This could be a good game. A critical problem is that the ‘HDG -‘ button is partially over the map. So when an airplane comes to the right bottom corner, one cannot control other planes using HDG—. This must be fixed.

Why does London look so small

I mean London has two airports within the city both Heathrow and City airport and looks like you can only use Heathrow but London looks far to small it sprawls for miles so that the only bad bit

Same - Far too fast

Installed, took a little while to get to grips with how to ‘play’ the game with many frustrations to get to a point where I sort of knew how to play it, due to the absolute omission of any instructions, which is a major flaw in my opinion.
Then, when did get to a stage where it was usable, it was far too fast to ‘enjoy’ ... at least give the option to slow the speed of the game down to a playable level.
As far as I am concerned, I’ve just wasted a couple of hours on something that could have been so much better.
Avoid it unless you like frustration and ‘time wasting’.

Addictive

Great game, really addictive!
Only down side, as mentioned in other reviews, it's a fast paced game, an option to slow the pace to make it more realistic would tempt me into buying the full version.

New update is terrable

Bad game. New update makes it confusing

Much too fast

If this game was a lot slower, I wouldn't hesitate to pay for the full featured version. I can understand the developer wanting it to be a challenge, but when you have up to 10 planes on the screen all at once, you don't get enough time to even think, it becomes a game of reflex and dexterity which is fine if you like that sort of thing, but personally I think this would be far more enjoyable if it was slowed down to a more relaxed pace where you get at least enough time to think. It's a wasted opportunity because I won't buy the full version as it is. At least give us the option to slow it down, then I will buy it.

Nice ATC Sim/Game

Overall quite good, no instructions but you quickly pick-up the game....need to be fast and alert, shame no ATC/pilot audio that would really ramp up the atmosphere of this good app!
