I. _________. I. I I. I. I. I. I. I I._____. I. I. I. I. I ). I _______I. I__________. I. I ______). I. I I. I This took me a long time to make PS: it’s called facts ### 4/5 — Problem with getting the buttons to work *2022-07-15, version 1.1.7* I been trying to learn the game but the buttons seem to have difficulty in activating once tapped. Im learning to get the E2 on a mission and despite me following the directions, it wont do anything after i get it on the cat. I get a popup telling me it an invalid launch. So i tried redoing all the steps to no avail. I have an ipad air 4 with current updates. I just uninstalled the game and reinstalled it to see if it helps resolve the issues ### 3/5 — Great game *2020-03-10, version 1.1.7* Great game just would like to really see an update for iPhone X and newer gen devices that have more screen. ### 2/5 — Help *2019-02-04, version 1.1.7* Nice game but for some reason I can’t pass the Indian Ocean level with the Viking planes I can’t do anything with them after they touch down on the carrier. ### 4/5 — Alright *2018-08-31, version 1.1.7* Only real bugs I’ve seen were with the loading screen. But those don’t alter gameplay much. There’s definitely a learning curve, and you have to make sure that when you have a harrier on the catapult, you have a harrier and not an F-18 in your queue. Btw guys when something (like an F-18) is purple in the queue, it means it must be refueled and launched with no ordinance. Some missions have you do this because you’re supposed to be rotating different aircraft. Just remove the ordinance from the aircraft or refuel it and send it off. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2018-08-17, version 1.1.7* I played the game up to the attic but keeps taking me back in to levels I already completed. The randomizer also effects if you get enough planes or helicopters to complete a stage. This makes it the game super frustrating. I would love this game if it was not for the bugs. I ### 2/5 — Bugged *2018-06-07, version 1.1.7* The first Indian Ocean mission; “Red Beach” is bugged. F-18s clog up the mission log with no way to get them off. Tried every combo and refueling and rotating air mission combo possible. Apparently this is a legacy bug from the Steam game. Still not fixed? Ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Potential, but not there yet *2018-05-05, version 1.1.7* Deck operations too slow for pace of arriving aircraft. Limited to only 3 operations in the que, when often 5 or more are required. Not nearly enough time allotted to wave off a returning aircraft. The game starts fun, but quickly just becomes frustrating. ### 4/5 — Almost!!! *2018-04-20, version 1.1.7* The game is great. The only issue I have is that you can’t replenish on the elevators, and the limited parking. Other than that the game is very addictive. ### 2/5 — Imports Mechanics Don’t Work *2018-01-24, version 1.1.7* Missions get backlogged and are unable to be completed. ### 5/5 — Awesome game only a few things *2017-09-09, version 1.1.2* Awesome game play and a lot of fun. Only thing is some problems with the camera in free view. ### 4/5 — Game works with update and is good fun *2017-06-24, version 1.0.2* The game is quite fun and entertaining. With update, the game now works on iPad Gen 3 for me. The touch sensitivity issue that prevented me from selecting aircraft and made the game unusable appears fixed, and the game now makes it clear when you set something up wrong to help understand why you can't launch. Considering the cost of the app, I thank the developers for listening and and patching the game quickly. This bodes well for the game. The app is still a bit sluggish, especially when dragging the carrier view back and forth, but it hasn't been a problem yet. I can recommend the game wholeheartedly now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good idea - poorly executed *2020-04-23, version 1.1.7* The game is a great concept, but the AI is buggy. Aircraft get stuck on deck and bump into each other causing crashes. The AI can not keep up with the player on the more complicated missions. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-04-01, version 1.1.7* This game makes no sense. Absolutely annoying and nowhere near worth the money ### 1/5 — horrible *2019-04-03, version 1.1.7* waste of money ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2018-12-29, version 1.1.7* Half the time you can’t do anything so this is just a waste of $10 ### 1/5 — iPhone version screwed up *2017-09-17, version 1.1.4* On mission two the pop up for the tutorial covers up the launch that you have to queue so you cannot choose it, so you cannot get past the mission. So far can't move through training mission two. ### 1/5 — Poor performance *2017-08-26, version 1.1.2* I have the pic version and love it but on the iPad retina it runs really slow and is unplayable ### 1/5 — Needs work *2017-07-14, version 1.1.2* Every time I launch the game I get through the first screen and then goes black and kicks me out of the game. Please fix!!!!! I have an iPad 2. Thanks a lot ### 1/5 — Also unplayable *2017-06-21, version 1.0.1* I'm in the same boat as a previous poster and mostly can't select planes in the free or default views. I can occasionally get them if I shift the view down flat or if I'm in the launch or landing views. Seems to be an issue with the touch not being responsive enough to know the difference between a tap to select or a drag to move the camera. Keeps the game from being playable at all. Hopefully this can be addressed in a patch, else this will be $10 down the drain. ### 1/5 — iPad version not ready as yet *2017-06-16, version 1.0.1* Down loaded app is not launching. ### 2/5 — Fun game, but needs updates!!! *2019-10-02, version 1.1.7* Please add an update, or better yet release a second version of the game! I’ve replayed the campaign multiple times. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Plz add this *2023-06-21* I would love for you to add a f-35 possibly along with a Gerald R Ford class. ### 5/5 — Plz add this *2021-10-01, version 1.1.7* I would love for you to add a Vietnam version so we can have phantoms,Skyhawks,and hueys ### 5/5 — By god!!! *2020-10-06, version 1.1.7* This game is after my own heart, I always wanted to be in the Air Force as a pilot but I never could due to my vision. Yet, this game made it possible for me and all those who had dreams to be in the military or Air Force in general. I’m gonna tell all my friends and family about this fantastic game. I hope you continue and maybe make a similar application but a ground air base with F-22s and Uh-60 Blackhawk helicopters. ### 5/5 — Amazing but changes *2019-08-25, version 1.1.7* This is extremely good but I think there should be some changes, i the f-18 hornets and super hornets be replaced with the f-35 and the f-14 should be added. The f-14 was the staple of the navy it was in the legendary top gun movie. Literally the navy saw an increase in employment because of the movie and the f-14 come on it would be so good. I know it’s weird to put more old aircraft than modern but adding these two aircraft and getting rid of the f-18 could work you guys can keep the f-18 in the game if want but you have to add the f-35 and f-14. ### 5/5 — I love this game there can be more stuff though *2019-06-17, version 1.1.7* This is my favorite game and I think the best aircraft carrier game but I think there can be more missions more aircraft and more enemies and maybe there can be emergencies on aircraft like gear not coming down and engine not working or flaps so I think up on the catapult you have to repair the aircraft or you can send the below deck I help you make this game better than ever Thank you for this game please make it better because it will make me better!!!!😃😃😃😃🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Add f-35’s *2018-08-17, version 1.1.7* I love this game and I hope they add f-35s in the future ### 5/5 — 5 Star game *2018-06-26, version 1.1.7* This is overall one of my favorite games to play. Please continue making it even better. I was wondering if it was possible to incorporate the aircraft carrier’s defense guns and battle group into the game. It would be nice in an emergency to activate the CIWS and missile defenses on board the carrier. Still a great game though. P.S. Wouldn’t you think it would be a cool feature if you can play with different ships like the other nine Nimitz class carriers, USS Enterprise CVN-65, and even the America/Wasp class ships. ### 5/5 — Great game, works perfect on iPad Mini 4 *2018-03-30, version 1.1.7* This game is like Airport Madness, but better. I have always been fascinated by carriers and this game on both iPad and iPhone works great. It is challenging and a whole lot of fun to play. ### 5/5 — Amazing but a Couple more things... *2018-01-30, version 1.1.7* Amazing game but realistically F-18s have an anti submarine warfare package and there are more early warning aircraft of other types on a carrier. Also please add more aircraft in general between the flight deck and hanger. A create your own scenario mode would be great too. 👍 ### 5/5 — Just a few things u guys should add *2017-10-30, version 1.1.7* I serve on a aircraft carrier, awesome game!!! You guys should update the aircraft, in the navy now we only have H60s,Hawkeyes and F18s of different versions. So add more f18s cause there’s a lot on a carrier between the flight deck and hanger bay. Then you should add the feature to make your own scenarios. This is a cool game to play. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾⚓️⚓️⚓️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
