Fun app! Now works with iOS 16.1
I’m glad this game is back but there are two minor issues:
1) the helicopter has a slight tendency to drift to the right.
2) when I try to mirror the screen to my PC this app forces the position to be vertical while the game is in landscape . I don’t understand why. Any other app that supports screen orientation change does it on the iPad and iPhone w/o issue.
I miss this game. Update: App still works with iOS 10 on iPhone 7 but it keeps telling me that it needs to be updated. I'm afraid that if I update to the next version it won't work anymore. Where are you guys? I have a paid version after all. I've had a lot of fun and back and neck aches playing this game, but it's in need of updates. I've played this app to it's last level on the iPad retina, unfortunately you cannot calibrate it because when you tap on the option it crashes. Guys! Please make an iPad version! After all it is more comfortable playing it on a bigger screen.

Buggy
It crashes when you calibrate the steering. What happened did you abandon the app.
Control
Supposed to be able to calibrate accelerometer, but still can't play in heads up orientation.
Amazing
This game is absolutely amazing for free and the controls(tilt) are great!!!
If you want to upgrade your weapons land in the middle of a mission and you can purchase your upgrades. It also restores your health and ammo up to full.

This is so cool!
This is one great game! The tilt control is like being in a real helicoptor and the firing controls are right where your thumbs would naturally be. Graphics & sound effects are great. I can't put the game down until my hands cramp up. As with most apps though, it could use a little improvement. It needs to be more challenging. After half way through the levels it becomes same o same o. Each new level there are more bad guys to kill but they aren't any more difficult to kill. I've upgraded all weapons and bought a few extra helicoptors so there's no way I can lose a level. I've only got a couple levels to go so maybe there will be a surprise at the end. Overall, I love this game and it was worth the $3. This game is great therapy if you need a distraction from life's problems.

Amazing
Great music and sound effects!!!!
After thinking about it though, I realized that after a while you have to face like a 100 enemies just to beat one level. It takes like an hour to beat ONE level. It's kinda annoying,but overall it's pretty good,if you have time to play it.

One of the better games for the iPhone
Until Blue Skies, I thought games using the accelerometers for control pretty much stank (pretty much every driving game), but the control is intuitive here. At least one big bug jumps your player to a different area in the map which is annoying. Overall I think there are some rough edges, but overall Blue Skies is a worthwhile addition to your iPhone catalog.

What about 3gs owners that purchased oringinal game?
Is there anyway people that bought the app for full price a few months ago can get the updated 3GS version for free?(even of it's through the old app) It's kind of ridiculous to pay for the same app twice even if it's half price now. Why are there two versions when you can just have one version that detects the different models?

Very well done
This is a great, polished game that appeals to both casual and hard core shooter fans. First, the controls are extremely simple and intuitive, one of the best uses of the acceleramoter without really making you think about it. The earlier levels are very good for more casual players while the later levels get very hectic and test dexterity but are never impossible. I like the balance in this game after the first half-dozen levels or so. It can feel repetitive over time and it can seem like a level just takes too long like instead of ratcheting up the difficulty the developer just decided to make levels longer to make the player tired. There could be a bit of improvement there going forward. I also think there's room for some specialized missions like protecting friendlies, etc. I also agree with others that there could be another couple of maps to change up scenery. Anwyway, great graphics, sound and especially music and considering how many more highly-touted games in or near the genre I've tried and found greatly disappointing, this one is a winner and the price reflects that. Keep up the good work!

One of the best
I have had this game on my iPhone for An extended period of time now, and while I have deleted many apps, this one has always remained on my phone. This is an aqseome game and one of my favs on Iphone
Awsome app
I have tried many lite versions of apps and not many have pleased me but this one of them. I bought the real game because I really liked it then I told my friend about it and he liked it so much he bought it
Addictive
Great game!! This is the one I play the most on my iPhone. No problems loadind or playing this one. I'm currently on level 28. It needs to start the game with you preference of weapon loaded, instead of always starting at level 0 weapon. At least start it with the most powerful weapon that has been purchased. Also, rewards for killing the enemy should include more ammo. Great game!!!!!

Better
I'd say this is a much better price point, I happily downloaded this an hour ago. Go check out the website first so that you can get an idea of what to expect. Yeah, the graphics are a bit cheesy (a 90's word to descibe 90's graphics), but gameplay and overall experience has been enjoyable. A good app.

TO EGERTER SOFTWARE
Best app I have ever played! Don't listen to people who say this game is terrible because it isn't. It has LOTS OF LEVELS, which is good for hours of playing, EASY TO CONTROL, & EXCELLENT GRAPHICS. Better than more expensive apps. BEST APP FOR ANY PRICE. In fact, they could raise the price because 1$ IS A STEAL. I would like to see an update though on a few things. 1) Please make there be more weapons. Also, could you give some info on each individual weapon (how much damage it does, how many you can fire before running out & show a diagram of the helicopter & where the missiles will fire, like front, back or side.) I would like a missile that cost 30,000 or 35,000, which fires every 25- 35 degrees, preferably with more lazers in the front 180 degrees than the back. 2) Add a health bar over each enemy so I can see the damage my weapons do. Full health is green, while health I have taken away is red. Update soon and keep up the good work!

Awesome
This game is awesome! It's great for when your board in the car. But it does get boring after about level 15 when you get about 160 people to destroy. It also needs other bombs and missles than the four you can buy.
Awesome but needs more selection
This is a nice and smooth app. It doesn't freeze or act up and well worth it for a buck. However I'd like to see more options. Such as more helicopters and planes to choose from with advantage and disadvantage and the same with weapons. Also there should be different objectives rather than blowing up stuff like Someone else said. One other thing, what's the point of having different level missles and bombs. There practically do the same amount of damage!?!? What's up with that. They should have different amount of effect on the enemy. Otherwise I play this game everyday and it is extremely fun and worth the money.
SO BUY IT!!!!!¡¡¿¿???¡!!¿¿¿??

Awesome all the way!
Great graphics and smooth gameplay make this a must buy. And heck it's only for 99 cents. Though the game gets very repettitve I would like to see more actual missions where you aren't doing the same thing over and over again. There need to be objectives other than killing everything and returning to base. Other than that it's still a great game!

Fun game, but needs improvement
First off, anyone who is thinking about buying this game, get it. It is a great game with great controls, and at $1, definitely get this game. Secondly, the game could use some improvement. I think it would be cool if you could choose between a helicopter or a plane, with each having different advantages and disadvantages. That would be cool. Also there should be a pause screen where you can adjust settings or return to the main menu. Also, my brothers kept bugging me to see if they could play but I told tham that they could play once I beat it. I think that it should have three or five files. I hope this review was helpful to the game makers and that they might put these ideas into the next update or the sequel to this game.

Decent Top Down Fighter.
First off, I have to comment on the fact that I enjoy the music to the gameplay. Good job. Secondly, I enjoy the gameplay itself. The only work I see that this game needs is the upgrades. Gives the players more variety and name the weapons. All in all, this is a golden buy for $0.99. There's room left for debate, however. As to other reviewers, keep an open mind. Reviewers are allowed rights to type whatever they feel the game deserves, whether it be a Good review or a Bad one. As for the game, I see a future in it. Don't let the reviewers down.

Fun game but very buggy
Fun gameplay smooth graphics about what you expect from a helicopter game. Very buggy however. Accelerometer often doesn't work and game crashes a lot. Still worth it if you can work past the bugs which IM SURE will be fixed soon.
