Amazing

For a student pilot this helped me a lot.

Impossible To Use

You can only practice a tiny bit in this app with communication. Everything else cost money. At this point… just make the app cost money to download instead only being able to use one feature.

My thoughts

I like the app. It has been helpful but I don’t like how you can really learn much if you don’t pay for the premium

Free

Make more scenarios free

Terrible

They give you zero context for there scenarios

Good in theory

The speech recognition is barely functional, requiring you to type to have a fighting chance of having your answer correctly logged. There’s also no guidance to help you learn.

Check the review

Utilizing the talk to text aspect for the app, it does not provide you ample amount of time to fulfill the verbal request. It will often stop midway of your request or statement, and then give you a bad score for not completing it correctly.

No me convence

No escucha claro y cambia las palabras que digo y parece q lo dije mal!

Helped me through flight school

Wouldn’t be a pilot now without this

I really wish this worked

When the app started, I absolutely was in love with it although it didn’t give you any prompts to know the answer so I initially just got the answer wrong and then hit the hint button and they tell you what they say so it prepared me for the next go round, but it eventually got to a point where it wasn’t understanding my responses. It was saying that the answer was wrong and I will literally verbatim. Lee say what they want me to say or even copy and paste the exact wordage that they wanted me to say in the box and it still was saying that it was wrong and it was the answer that they gave me so this was a little discouraging because I really didn’t like the app. I like the interaction of it all but it just wasn’t allowing me to go any further on it so I had to cancel my membership, but it was fun it just doesn’t work.

Doesn’t know the phonetic alphabet

What’s the point in having this if it doesn’t understand the phonetic alphabet

Student pilot

Practicing radio talk on here is very helpful 10/10 do recommend for practicing just wish it was free because flight classes are expensive enough lol

Great app to learn however…

Maybe it’s an “AI”-ism, but it seems as though the harder the scenarios get the more confusing they get with very little guidance or “why” as to why certain calls need to be made. Maybe if the scenarios were more tailored to the actual airport diagrams it would make more sense. For an app where a premium price is paid for services, at the very least it could be engineered to consider this. Otherwise, 5 stars for the most basic tasks; they all started coming back after some time out of the cockpit. Overall I give this app 3 out 5 stars.

Limited

Not much practice in limited scenarios - even with premium

Actually so bad

The app insists on using November when making a call at a towered airport when nobody irl does that. The use of the company name or model of airplane is perfectly fine and way more common. Combine this with the fact that the app has a not so good ai that is unable to understand slight changes in the order of speaking and being constantly pressured to buy the apps premium version.
All these combine to make the app one giant, unhelpful, mostly detrimental to student pilot’s experience.
DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE A STUDENT PILOT IT WILL MESS YOU UP.

Don’t bother

There are far better options out there if you’re looking for comms practice. ARSim blew Comms out of the water in my comparisons.

Horrible and buggy

This is gotta be one of the worst communication simulators that I’ve used. It’s buggy and often wrong.. Save your money and find a better app.

J Smith

Great App and getting better! Always adding to and updating to improve the app. Perfect for practicing communication with ATC.

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS APP!

Don’t be fooled by the “good reviews” you see—many of them are not only fake, they’re also in direct violation of Apple’s policies. In the app’s Discord server, the developer literally wrote:

“I’m giving out free premium for 2 months if you leave a review for the app… send a screenshot and email and I’ll activate your free 2-month premium.”

This is a clear breach of Apple’s App Store Review Guideline 3.2.2 – Unacceptable Business Practices, which explicitly prohibits incentivizing reviews. I’ve already reported this to Apple, and knowing they’ll likely delete the post, I made sure to take screenshots as evidence.

THIS IS A CHEAP IMITATION OF ANOTHER APP:
I’ve spent months testing different apps to practice ATC communications, including this one. It quickly became obvious that in its original state, this app was completely useless—poorly built, lacking quality, and offering zero real educational value.

But what’s worse is what came next. As I continued testing apps that actually work, I noticed this one gradually started copying features—blatantly—from another app called ATC One (and doing a poor job at it).

Recently, they went even further and copied ATC One’s website section by section, element by element—including the header, the blog section, and even one of their actual blog entries. It honestly feels like a lazy “copy this page, just change the text” AI prompt. I’ve already reported this to the original developers. Then I noticed they copied core in-app concepts like scenario info, hints, the 5-star feedback storage system with intelligent feedback handling, and more. And just this week, they even replicated the video-based sign-in wall approach. It’s both embarrassing and concerning.

This isn’t just a bad app—it’s a shameless copycat with no integrity. I sincerely hope Apple takes action, removes it from the App Store, and bans the developer from the Apple Developer Program, as has happened in similar cases before.

Don’t waste your time, colleagues.
In aviation, we rely on each other—and that includes choosing tools that are legitimate, trustworthy, and actually add value.

Stay away from this app if you really want to learn.

As a CFI, I recommend that you don’t even waste your time downloading this app—especially if you’re a real pilot looking to learn. This app does the exact opposite of teaching. Even though it tries to be “funny” with its Angry ATC mode, in real life that kind of behavior would get you a pilot deviation, or as a controller, you’d probably end up in jail. That’s exactly what this app promotes.

This app is a game, not a practice tool.
Flight training is NOT a game, and you shouldn’t advertise it as an app to master comms or put it in the education category.

This app is the perfect example of the new wave of no-code / vibe-coded trashy apps made in 5 minutes.

The quality is ridiculously poor, and it’s clear that it wasn’t made by aviation professionals.
