### 4/5 — Great game, however…

*2026-08-27, version 2020.6.01*

Game is really really good, it’s got physics that are unseen in any other mobile game. The flight models are detailed. I think more aircraft should have access to the Radars and weapons but that’s just me.

One big downside of the game is that it doesn’t get updated enough. Been waiting for over 1 year for the next big thing and nothings come, more and more bugs have appeared with no way to reliably report them as the support feature doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — Not sure

*2026-08-22, version 2020.6.01*

I bought almost all of the planes when I was young, but now when I hopped back in the game, everything was gone for some reason also I have never delete the app.

### 4/5 — Great Flight sim

*2026-08-22, version 2020.6.01*

Its a great sim thats simple enough to get a hang of and yet realistic in its core. Even tho this game still needs quite a bit of work, I would say its worth the money to buy the jets. Cant wait to see the F15C to add soon!

edit: can’t believe the release of the new sim is right around the corner i hope it will be as good as the dev have been showing it.

### 4/5 — F35 weapons

*2026-08-12, version 2020.6.01*

Good game. Just want to get into PVP with the F35

### 4/5 — At the F-16 and The viper demo team livery red white, and blue

*2026-08-06, version 2020.6.01*

A really good game, but it would be great to add a  KC-130 for refilling and bombers F-16 would be great in this game and the red white and blue viper demo team.

### 4/5 — The game is really good but the throttle control is pretty bad. It’s not responsive at all

*2026-07-03, version 2020.6.01*

Other than that the graphics are insane and the functionality is really good for a mobile game. The F18 is a lot of fun

### 3/5 — Good game

*2026-06-30, version 2020.6.01*

It’s a overall good game but the lack of updates and new stuff to do in the game is lacking

### 4/5 — A7

*2026-06-24, version 2020.6.01*

You should give the a7 armament

### 4/5 — Great Mobile sim

*2026-06-07, version 2020.6.01*

Amazing mobile sim. Would love to see aircraft such as the F16, F15, and Su-27/33 come to the game

### 4/5 — Add ea-6b prowler

*2026-05-21, version 2020.6.01*

Great game, super fun and amazing graphics. Only complaint is that it’s lacking content. Needs more planes, weather options and maps. Would love to see the prowler/intruder and phantom added

### 4/5 — New free planes

*2026-04-07, version 2020.6.01*

Well it’s very realistic I love the game and everything but I paid two dollars and I only get two planes if you could pls make more free planes pls and thank you.

### 5/5 — Best mobile mil sim almost like DCS

*2026-03-31, version 2020.6.01*

The game is great but the devs need to come back this game could be mobile DCS PLS COME BACK

### 5/5 — Goated

*2026-03-01, version 2020.6.01*

Please make the AI’s shoot back on the single player mode like missles

### 3/5 — F15C

*2026-02-27, version 2020.6.01*

Wondering when the f15c is coming out?

### 5/5 — Add ai ground targets

*2026-02-22, version 2020.6.01*

This game is great! But there are no ground targets or any bombs! Could you add ai ground targets and bombs that would make this game peak!!

### 1/5 — Scam game

*2026-07-15, version 2020.6.01*

This is garbage, don’t get scammed.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2026-06-24, version 2020.6.01*

Carrier Landing HD is a complete letdown!! and one of the most misleading apps I’ve ever seen. The developer constantly hypes the community with flashy ads and promises of new jets and updates that never arrive on time—sometimes years go by with nothing. When an update finally drops, it’s never what was promised, and the content feels like a half-baked excuse to keep people waiting. The trust between developer and players is gone, and I can’t recommend this app to anyone. Save your money and avoid the disappointment.
👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Post Edit. 
I give this negative one star, and do not recommend to anyone.  Wanna play a real mobile flight simulator download the goat;
Aerofly FS global.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — !!!READ BEFORE PURCHASING!!!

*2026-06-11, version 2020.6.01*

THIS APP IS ABANDONED. THE LAST UPDATE PROMISED AN F-15 THAT WAS ONE YEAR AGO. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS APP FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS AND IF YOU GO BACK THROUGH THE META DATA FOR EACH UPDATE, THERE WERE PROMISES OF SU – 27. F-16 
F -15’s I COULD ADD TO THE LIST MUCH MORE. HOPEFULLY APPLE TAKES THIS APPLICATION OFF THE APP STORE EXTREMELY SOON AND NOBODY ELSE SUFFERS MONETARY LOSS THROUGH FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.

### 1/5 — Liar

*2026-03-31, version 2020.6.01*

This developer is a liar he claims that updates will come within weeks, he ghost his community and still do this day after a whole year after claiming the update would come in weeks last year but hasn’t been update def and leaves his community wondering as he keeps pushing back dates. This development is doomed to fail and won’t be any good it might as well just be completely deleted off the AppStore.

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE!

*2026-03-25, version 2020.6.01*

This is a dead app, the developer has not updated in over two years. 

It says it was updated one year ago to support the App Store and then an empty promise was stated after that about the F-15 you will never see an F 15 😂 

I say that because I’ve had this app for four or five years. 

The developers ammo is to empty promise new features new aircraft but he’s a liar, a misleading fraudulent dirtbag for lying to his community.

This is the most boring application and now it’s garbage. Most of the reviews you’re seeing that are positive or either Bots or the developer himself. 

If I seem upset, it’s because I’m tired of the BS.  Chang you are a misleading liar who leaves empty promises and his descriptions just so you can squeeze every last bit of money out of other people. 

I really hope Apple takes this app down. It is 100% false advertising.

### 1/5 — Additions

*2026-01-09, version 2020.6.01*

Please add a Resupply option so that we can restock our A/A and A/G weapons when parked in a carrier or Airstrip, so that the replayability is much more fun.

### 1/5 — 驾驶舱视角缩放会有破图的情况

*2025-12-13, version 2020.6.01*

如标题所示

### 1/5 — 画は綺麗

*2025-12-13, version 2020.6.01*

F15の開発が終わると言い始めてまもなく1年になる。
対戦しようにも相手はいないし、詐欺のようなゲーム。

### 1/5 — Mr. Liu

*2025-12-13, version 2020.6.01*

Chang, please update your app already😂
If you’re planning to abandon this application ( if not already) could you please let us know? 

seeing that “ Aerofly FS Global” (basically MSFS 2024 for mobile)  has made this app obsolete. 

They now have four different high definition aircraft carriers, 
one off the coast of San Francisco one off the coast of Israel, 
one off the coast of Libya 
and one off the coast of northern Europe. All capable of cat launch 
Better arresting cables
Better everything lighting, clouds city lights trees, helicopters, Blackhawk, Pavehawk, etc.
Global scenery is high def satellite imagery and over 40 different aircraft that are interactive one to one true simulations. From cold start to arming the ejection seat. I can fly from one aircraft carrier across the world to another aircraft carrier or from any airport if you’re choosing such as Miramar to Carrier, working FCS, but it’s through cockpit interaction not user interface
 
You have, after 5 to 6 years and a sprinkle of updates years apart with a side of empty promises 2
Runways and a carrier. The flight dynamics are incredible in your app. However this is now because of its lack of updates and misleading promises, the worst app in the App Store as far as simulators with in-app purchases go. 
Good luck to you and I’m hoping you prove me wrong. Your game would’ve been fantastic with those updates you promised. 
Unfortunately, Chang, kinda feels like ya scammed us. I’m not saying you did by any means.
 I’m just saying it sure feels that way. 

I still have all the worthless hours for multiplayer I purchased years ago and will never use due to the failure caused by not updating this app. 

You said in your email you had a bunch of stuff coming, but I’m not gonna go on anymore just wanting honesty, accountability and everyone who has not purchased any in app purchases to hold off until this app is updated. 
Or go and read most critical reviews:) 

Have a good day thank you for your time and God bless you!

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-08-10, version 2020.6.01*

Just needs updates for more features when flying and the game can feel isolated as its quite pay to play over that graphics are incredible and physics are insane. If wasn’t like this defo 1st sim on mobile!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-08-05, version 2020.6.01*

### 5/5 — Literal Pocket DCS

*2026-07-10, version 2020.6.01*

I've forgotten how long I've been with CLHD but this game is literally next level for anyone looking for a near 1:1 simulation sim on mobile this is it. So pack your flight bag and burn them rolling in hot with CLHD. 

Roger Ball, Anvil 1-1

### 5/5 — Update pls

*2026-05-20, version 2020.6.01*

I’d highly recommend not just adding one variant of the F15, F35, And F18 like the F15E or F35 B/A

### 5/5 — Add new planes

*2026-05-16, version 2020.6.01*

I think the game is really good. Great graphics too. I like the camera angles too. It’s good that you can watch a replay. The only thing you should add is new planes. Something like the SU-57 and the J-20. I also think you should add the b2 and the A10. Really good game though

### 5/5 — A very fun game but..

*2026-05-14, version 2020.6.01*
