No support

Great potential and good playability but absolutely no support. Recently lost all airports. What about a refund, this is akin to stealing money after I purchased the app!

Great little sim

Great little sim that works well and isn’t cluttered with ads.
UI is too small and fiddly on an iPhone screen. Menus are not sufficiently intuitive.

Not the best. Has potential.

Have played this a lot and after a while, it becomes repetitive and underwhelming. There is no real dynamics to the game apart from the SIDs and STARs. No weather injects, no emergencies / Maydays or any real world issues to test your ATC abilities. Very basic. If it had these it could be a great ATC sim platform.

Non-functional

Couldn’t figure out how to use this app. Free version doesn’t appear to work at all and the link to the user manual on the website is a bad url. Disappointing.

No manual

Can’t down load manual
No tutorial

Needs update for modern screens

I loved this app years ago but it needs a GUI update. Everything is far too small to read or tap on modern phones.

WHAT CAN I DO??

THERE IS NO FREE AIRPORT ????

Looks cool but broken

you can’t even do anything

Not worth the money paid.

I reinstalled this app after wanting an interest in ATC games with realism involved. Safe to say that the developer has given up on this game like many users before it. I had no onscreen instructions on how to get aircraft to take off. No speech recognition meant that I also could easily try to interact with incoming or outgoing aircraft. It also didn’t help that the overlay for the flight information not only blocked my view but made it hard for me to interact with the aircraft.

Not good

Can’t even make an account

Good

The game is pretty good but I think it needs to be 3D

Needs A Couple Improvements

This game is extremely realistic, a tutorial would be good because I spent 30min before I figured it out... I am willing to pay but you should be able to have bigger bundles than 3 airports, (like country bundle) so like all off Australia for $24. But all in all it’s the best tracon sim out there it would be cool if you could make it voice recognition, there a realistic SIDS and the zoom bit for me really helps. 4/5

Most realistic TRACON /RAPCON OUT THERE

This simulation is very realistic without being overwhelming.
A radar controller doesn’t care about the A/C on the ground.
Try AIRPORT MADDNESS if you want to control a/c on the ground and near the airport.

Ps How do I do simultaneous approaches to parallel runs like the do in the real world. There is no advantage to parallel runways if I have to use 3miles /1000 ft separation and have them at 2000ft all at hand of to tower.

Help this would make it my favorite.
By the way this is easy to do on ATC VOICE APP

Terrible just terrible

I opened the app and immediately it said get the full version now. I declined and looked for airports I could go too. I picked Sydney because I like that airport. And of course you have to pay. So instead I went to San Diego. It was one of two free airports. Nothing happened and emergencies and arrivals were disabled because you have to pay for them. I deleted the app soon after. Do NOT get this app.

rubbish

it won't start, and when it does it crashes

Unplayable

Text and menus so small it’s unplayable on an iPhone. Don’t bother downloading never mind playing.

Best ATC game on the market!

Pros - real schedules, real weather, change time of day so you can practice during lighter traffic times, controls are easy

Cons - add legacy airports to this version. I bought ATL and HNL when they were alone, don't play as well as the newer versions (can’t assign Sid/star, I’d buy them again for that feature). Group airports by region or sell individually instead of 3 at a time.

Overall, love the app, been playing for years!

Not bad, but download model makes it unbearable

This a better TRACON sim for iOS. Aircraft performance isn’t realistic for GA aircraft, but it’s not bad overall.

What makes the app unbearable is the way the developer groups airport downloads to squeeze the most amount of money out of you. For example, if you’d like to control aircraft in the metro NY area, you have to buy three separate expansion packs, at $8 each, because JFK, Newark, and La Guardia are each on separate expansion packs. Similarly, Miami and Fort Lauderdale are on separate packages, as are Chicago Midway and O’Hare. I bet the developer would see more downloads(i.e., make more money) if he packaged airports by region instead. I’m more likely to buy a NY package and a SOCAL package, than packages that include African and Asian airports I’ll never play

Non-responsive on iPhone C

App opens with a prompt to visit the website for an important news announcement. No other buttons respond to taps/touches.

Annoyed

This use to be my most favourite game. Got a new phone and now I have to buy all the additions again because they won’t let me transfer to the new phone. Will delete it. Sorry that your game has become useless. Not paying for it again.
