Best ATC Sim by far!
It’s the only ATC sim I know where you can control planes with voice commands. It’s absolutely great. I’ve played this game for years and have never gotten tired of it. Thanks to the developer for creating it. May it be updated forever!
Mr. Grnery
I have some aircraft flight training and this is the most accurate ATC simulator I have come across. Very entertaining!
Most realistic game I’ve seen for ATC
Been playing this game for probably around 10 years, maybe longer. The game keeps me on my toes and keeps me sharp as a 20 year retired controller. I do not usually do the voice, as it lags behind in the more difficult settings, which is what I play. You cannot effectively control airplanes when wrong acft takes a clearance, or pilots don’t respond. Yes, it does occasionally occur in real life, but does not happen routinely. I’ve used various headphones and bluetooth earbuds, but voice control does not seem to work well in the highest most complex levels. But overall game is still great and mostly challenging. Would like to see some new sectors, and a change for a few minor issues I have recommended to the developer.
Update: while I still enjoy the game, I find several discrepancies. 1. When you have an emergency, and you get the aircraft on approach asap, if the aircraft crashes, it counts against you. This is clearly pilot error, and I have pointed it out to the app creator, but it has not changed. You, as the controller, are penalized for what is clearly pilot error. Not realistic. In addition, with an emergency on approach, sometimes the airport and runway gets closed, causing the aircraft to crash. Not at all realistic. 35 years as a controller, and I can say with confidence that this would never happen. Also, you are penalized with an airport/runway shutdown for late arrivals, while having put multiple aircraft in a holding pattern. In real life, they do not shutdown a runway/or airport without coordinating with the controller and getting an approval, with the exception of an accident, and it is coordinated. If there is an emergency, the aircraft may be given an alternate runway, but never forced to crash just because of an impromptu shutdown. There are not impromptu shutdowns, they are coordinated and published, with of course an exception being an accident.
Lastly, I have suggested adding additional airports, which has not occurred. After years of playing this, it has become too routine, and needs to be updated,

Just pure awesomeness.
I’ve had this app for years, but I just realized that I don’t think I ever wrote a review for it, and I feel awful! This simulator is awesome. Sometimes it gets my heart beating out of my chest. It can get really, really intense and you’ve gotta be very quick and on your toes at all times. If this is how being an air traffic controller really is, then I have to send a thank you to all REAL air traffic controllers to let you all know how much I truly appreciate your work in getting us there and back again safely everyday. You guys are the unsung heroes of the aviation industry. Also, the developer for this app is awfully friendly and I can’t thank him enough for this simulator. This is easily one of the best (if not THE best) sims of any type on the AppStore. If you’re looking for a good simulator to test your reflexes and brain, look no further. This is just a great app. Thanks to the developer for this awesome piece of software!!!!
