U just tilt to control thrust. Ok game but not much longevity to it. ### 4/5 — Fun but hard *2012-04-11, version 0* This game is simple but challenging. The trick is to use the least amount of fuel to land the craft as fast as possible. I wish the developer would rework the app so we could listen to music and podcast while playing the game. ### 4/5 — Great game, but............. *2011-03-19, version 0* How do you land perfectly. Four stars till I know. ### 4/5 — Great game *2010-09-09, version 0* It's a great simple free game with good enough graphics. Just a few things...a tilt calibrater would be very helpful cause it's kind of annoying to have to sit up a certain way just to play. Also pls supply more difficulty settings maybe make the platform bigger I think the main reason this app has low ratings is because some people think that just because it's challenging it's a bad game. ### 3/5 — Worth a download *2010-07-06, version 0* Very challenging, but not much to it. It's a good distraction, if that's what's called for. I'll keep this one on my iPod. ### 2/5 — Impossible *2010-04-23, version 0* Icant land how do u someone tell me please ### 5/5 — Sweeeet *2010-02-10, version 0* It's fun and actually pretty easy to land! All of u that can't land have no patience at all... ### 5/5 — Great *2010-01-13, version 0* GreAt app highest score 9750 beat that ### 5/5 — great but... *2009-12-22, version 0* what does it score you based on ### 5/5 — Addicting but not great *2009-11-30, version 0* I was stcuk playing this game for nearly half an hour, it only took me about 3 seconds to learn how to land it, but it's addicting! After about 30mknutes I thought to myself, why have I been playing this???? It's not a great game, but it suceeds in giving you something todo and is extremely addicting!!! ### 5/5 — Neat graphics *2009-11-22, version 0* Like it ### 4/5 — Very good game - could use one improvement *2009-10-29, version 0* This is just the game I was looking for, and it's free! I can't believe all the people complaining about it - I guess because it actually takes finess and is somewhat difficult until you master it, much like the real thing! The only thing that kept me from giving it 4 stars is the fact that the thrust is either on or off. With the accuracy of the tilt sensors in the touch, the game should allow variable throttle based on tilt angle. Please add this feature (and I will buy it then)! ### 5/5 — Superb app when you know how! *2009-10-12, version 0* Great app, download now! Just worked out you need to have your iphone held up in front of you to fire the rocket boosters, tilt the top down to decrease the booster power, simple when you know how. ### 4/5 — THIS IS ADDICTING: !!!! *2009-10-09, version 0* This is a really fun and great app for day when your bored and want a PERSONAL cahalleng.I only wish that it had more levels and difficultys.bot other than that it was TOP NOTCH ### 4/5 — Not Bad *2009-10-09, version 0* Gives you a good challenge. :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible game *2011-12-18, version 0* It stunk!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Can I give negative stars for this game? *2011-10-21, version 0* Terrible controls... As evidenced by all the people who deleted it so quickly. To the author... Atari's lunar landing from the early 80's was FAR superior to this junk. Do us all a favor and give up writing software. ### 1/5 — Bad *2011-08-18, version 0* Does not work don't by ### 1/5 — What? *2011-05-30, version 0* AWESOME GAME!!

Will change score if things improve ### 1/5 — Hard at first *2009-07-09, version 0* It was hard at first but once I got the hang of it it was really easy ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No update *2024-09-11* Was the first app I ever had!

Thanks ### 5/5 — One of the greats *2017-03-06, version 0* This was one of the original few apps I installed on my first iPhone way back in 2008. Crash Landing is just as fun today as it was nine years ago. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-01-02, version 0* Good game and not too hard ### 5/5 — CrashLander *2011-10-08, version 0* Ok first of all I've been looking for this app for urs now. Finally found it!! Now I'm my thoughts, this app is great fun. Don't listen to ppl that say bad stuff about this app. If you get the Hang of it you will enjoy playing it occasionally. You can't really complain because it is a free app that dent have any ads on it. Sou have a sweet deal. However to the developers, you should create more fun levels with different spaceships. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2011-08-09, version 0* I love this app! ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2010-05-14, version 0* It might not be much of an app but it still is pretty fun. After getting the hand of landing it gets fun and addicting! ### 5/5 — review *2010-03-25, version 0* the concept is simple: land. the controls are easy: tilt left, right, up, down. fire the thrusters when necessary, but don't run out of fuel. this app takes advantage of the accelerometers in the iPhone, therefore the controls (tilting) are very touchy. if the landing pad is too far off just tap the screen to restart the session. when you crash take note of the three indicators at the top: speed, angle, position. any red indicators will tell you why you crashed. you have to land under a certain speed, within a certain angle, and positioned correctly. it takes a delicate touch to land. I give it 5/5 for being easy to use, yet challenging enough to make addictive, and shows what the iPhone can do. high score to date: 9873. a great game that you play a few rounds in a couple of minutes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
